Reply #13: Your 'well founded' opinion, [View All]

you mean.

It's so blatantly obvious how things have been happening. Thing is, no one wants to believe it, so they simply do not.

I've been running a very interesting experiment for years now. I show a video of a brownish 50-something story sky scraper collapsing to a person and ask this exact question; "What's happening in this video?". I give no information, I don't lead I ask only that question.

Every single person who does not know the identity of the building states, completely matter-of-factly, "That's a demolition."

I ask them to elaborate and they point to all the details of the collapse and explain how and why it is a controlled demolition. Then I tell them the identity of the building, the time it came down, and the quote by Larry Silverstein about 'pulling it'.

Most of them go quiet for a long time because they have to struggle with a truth they've seen with their own eyes. Some accept it and move on. Some try to edit their own brains to 'unsee' what they saw and convince themselves that they were wrong. It's fascinating.

With very few exceptions, everyone who knew the identity of the building before I showed them the footage absolutely believed that the collapse was not a controlled demolition. They literally couldn't believe their eyes because their cognitive filters would not let them.

I'm up to 40 subjects by now. Without my notes in front of me, I believe there are 7 people that did not know the ID of the building, but accepted the reality of what they knew they saw. There are about a dozen people that knew the ID of the building, but had already come to accept the reality going into the test. There are 20 people, fully half of the subjects, that watched the footage and claimed it was a controlled demolition, but then convinced themselves that they must have been wrong after they were told the ID of the building.

It really says something about the human capacity for self-delusion in the face of frightening realities.

It also explains why so many refuse to believe in anthropogenic climate change.
