than inconsistencies would happen WAY more often

How do you know your mind isn't simply ignoring them, or altering your memories to make the inconsistencies fit?

Idk how do you know a goblin isn't replacing your brain and piloting it around and hiding in the folds between reality when you check

This sums up this thread very well hahaha Not to minimise experiences of breaks with reality/paranoia/psychosis, it can be very scary.

So you're not living a life facing endless, exhausting inconsistencies?

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 2 points 4 days ago

They are already happening annoyingly often.

[-] EelBolshevikism@hexbear.net 3 points 4 days ago

A "consistency" rather than an inconsistency would be vanishingly rare.

You can look at people's political opinions as an example.

those are consistent "inconsistencies". most of them are consistently explainable with real phenomena, they just don't make sense if you're trying to follow the same train of logic. other things, like the material situations people have can lead to tons of inconsistencies in their beliefs based on what they're exposed to and, to an extent, "paid" to believe
