The four modes of the washing machine: load, wash, drain, and spin. The analogy to modern life is unmistakable. Right now...
This country is in its spin cycle. Good or bad, we accept or reject premises but cannot change them. When evidence is found for, detractors reject. When evidence is found against, detractors reject. It goes round and round. It NEVER stops.
The "double down" option, these days the only option, confirms the spin cycle. It merely increases the rate.
Whatever you say or believe is subject to spin, your spin, their spin, or someone's spin.
It is the Descartes' vortex of opinion, the black hole of views. You can only be sucked in, further and further and further.
There is no graceful exit from the spin. While in this cycle you get dizzy but yet delirious. Your best judgments are suspended. Your common sense is distorted. Your very flesh is twisted to conform to the spin's angular momentum. Truth is just one causality of the spin.
