An old note I found this morn while cleaning my room:
When any of us says something is true, we are saying we believe it. "It is part of my belief system, therefore true."
Some parts of one's belief system are held as true by most, hence a popular delusion that works for the moment and only works within a certain context, i.e., the current worldview or generic thought domain.
The next realm's thought domain, as evidenced by the Copernican, Newtonian, Einsteinian, and Quarkian progression, might and probably will reveal our current metaview as old-fashioned, ignore-ant, even prmitive.
I don't know that there is anything to be done about this, except to acknowledge it, and to step outside our belief system, our thought domain. Of course, for many this is unthinkable and will not be thought (or unthought). For others it is understood but seen as too much trouble; attention is best directed elsewhere. For some, however, the possibility / probability of existing outside thought, without reflection, is attractive and seen as a worthy endeavor.

Yes it is most attractive indeed!
