It takes energy to change a perception, but to keep a pre-existing perception there is no energy cost. Similar to a file in ROM. Slow degradation without reinforcement might also apply. This is the reason that people will offer up a logical fallacy as valid argument, and continue to support this falsity even when presented with the fact that there is no Reason behind their argument. And when in fact, Logic itself speaks against.

How great is the human ability to disguise the truth from ourselves? Are there hemp particulates in my bloodstream right now?
