Beliefs Shape Us; Dissension Comes from Pain
Beliefs often arise from a desire to fit in with social groups rather than from independent thought or accurate information. This tendency to conform is grounded in evolutionary behavior. Individuals typically remain steadfast in their beliefs—like those in cults—until they experience severe mistreatment within those environments. Exit from such belief systems rarely occurs through exposure to contradictory evidence; instead, it is driven by personal suffering or a negative experience within the community. Even within motivated or ideologically charged groups, like activist circles, members may reevaluate their positions when faced with disillusionment regarding the treatment they receive, prompting reconsideration of their beliefs.
