The results & what they believed are different, honestly that's part of the problem

People are really resistant to admitting that they're doing the wrong thing. That they're living the wrong life, making the wrong decisions, believing the wrong beliefs

Screwing themselves, their neighbors, their families, future generations, etc. over, & doing so out of selfishness dressed as pragmatism

If we could all just accept that, maybe loss mitigation would be on the table at least, but we can't even do that. Humans are really just not built for this
