The Constant Pattern of the Ignoramus True Believer

a) Read or see something that makes you intellectually and/or emotionally uncomfortable and which is also unacceptable.............b) Double down and refuse to engage in any form of cerebral accommodation (assimilation only - reference to Piaget).............c) Scour the bowels of the Internet (the modern day true believer is apparently averse to actual volumes) perusing for alternative explanations.............d) Attach to these alternative explanations a level of metaphysical certitude that the average individual would find utterly bizarre.............e) Claim to have refuted the discomforting theory and then utterly fail to understand even the central tenets of it.............f) Lather, rinse, and repeat.
