    Dementia is a devastating condition that affects memory, reasoning, and awareness, but the concept of false certainty—believing one knows something when that "knowledge" has been externally shaped—is an unsettling psychological phenomenon.

    It touches on ideas like cognitive bias, indoctrination, and even the dangers of misinformation. When people don’t question the origins of their beliefs, they risk unknowingly adopting narratives that aren’t truly their own. This applies in everything from politics to personal philosophies.

    my original

    dementia is a very bad thing but worst is - thinking you know something when you don't have the where for all to know the knowledge you think you have was actually planted by others who actually do your thinking for you.

    native americans about life forms did not want anything to suffer that was of nature - i feel that way about helping tds traders but then i think about the mercilessness native americans delt to others and my sanity kicks in.
