The capacity for people to kid themselves is huge. LIVING on illusions or delusions, and the re-establishing of these illusions or delusions requires a BIG effort to keep them from being seen through. But a very old idea is at work behind our current STATE of AFFAIRS: enantiodromia, or the Greek notion of things turning into their opposite.
