Quote from: monsta666 on May 11, 2025, 03:52 AMIt is easier to dream and listen to people who tell you what you want to hear rather than what you need to hear.
Boy if that isn't applicable to all sorts of things, even peak oil being one. It is probably because it is a common human characteristic....we hear and believe what sounds good to us...and when the real analytical/scientific folks come along and dispute it with data and logic and expertise and whatnot...well....they are trolls and liars.
Works for all sorts of things I imagine, including the entire "the good ol' days" fallacy (for lack of a better term).
