If you must defend your beliefs, then your beliefs are wrong.
And what do you base this on? I doubt this would hold true in many situations. Debate in this forum is all about defending beliefs to see if they hold up. Some do and some don't.

I base it on "Truth should be able to stand on its own accord as it is always true in the present moment."

No. That is not truth. That is a truth. What is truth?

It is here and now. Looking beyond the present moment is craving for a concept for ones intellect to grasp at an aspect of truth.

So. Everyone IMO and experience does this. What does this have to do in particular with this subject? Are you being "spiritual"?

I said deeper self delusion because we are all operating under delusions...all of us. No one is exempt. That was my meaning. I am deluded, you are deluded, we are all deluded. Value judgments add another layer of delusion to the dream.

I said deeper self delusion (as in being on "double secret probation" -animal house.)
And hey, you can only speak for your own delusion. It's a trap to say others are deluded. Don't be trapped Hue. Don't do it.

Well think about it. If you are already operating under a set of beliefs that may or may not be accurate to reality, to assume additional beliefs reduces the possibility of accuracy.

Delusion is operating under a set of beliefs as if this set of beliefs were accurate to reality.

So, effectively, operating in general?

Yes, the best way to avoid delusion is to quit believing anything.
Quote:
Delusion: false belief strongly held in spite of invalidating evidence.
We MAY all be deluded, to one degree or another, but this does not necessarily mean that any additional beliefs will increase our delusion. Only false beliefs which have been invalidated by the evidence = delusion.

Which is just another belief. Maybe it's not psychoses. Maybe you thinking that is delusional?
You are now on the road to OZ. I hope you're happy.;)
