There are no facts, only interpretations.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I’m afraid the political world wasn’t where this intellectual leprosy had originally came from.
The political world was only the place where this disease had become ‘viral’.

Even in spite of whatever information might reach me from ‘outside’, if that information doesn’t fit my already held convictions. My ideology….
In fact, this belief – ‘I’m entitled to my own convictions’ – is exactly what people on both sides of the divide have in common. Intellectually speaking!
A shared disease… a virus infecting indiscriminately…
