AlleyCat is one of the several people who dominate Rudy on a daily basis,
keeping their bootheels on his little pencil neck to the amusement of all.
Rudy's Denial of Reality
Many people, like Rudy deny truths even when presented with irrefutable
evidence.
There's an old (and corny) joke, which goes:
What is "denial?"
It's a river in Egypt."
There's another meaning of "denial" in psychoanalytic theory: A psychological
defense we all use at times to reduce our anxiety when something feels
particularly disturbing.
Finally, there is a particular type of "denial" we are witnessing nowadays:
When seemingly intelligent and sane adults vehemently deny truths despite a
body of irrefutable data.
(THAT'S our Rudy!)
This type of denial is akin to Stephen Colbert's "truthiness" in that these
deniers adamantly refuse to accept verified facts because they get in the way
of their own rigid ideas.
In psychiatry, the word "delusion" means a firm belief in some idea which is
known to be false, and it can be a symptom of paranoia or psychosis. While the
believers in untruths are mentally ill, they do strongly adhere to their false
credos in spite of clear evidence to the contrary which is presented to them,
especially if based on scientific findings.
These deniers are indeed "true believers" for whom there is only One Absolute
Truth.
The writings of their texts are taken literally or reinterpreted to suit their
prejudice and hate.
This kind of closed-mindedness is prevalent in every country of the world. Call
it zealotry, bigotry or fanaticism, these ultra-controlling beliefs are
dangerous to our civic morale. Worse, they give a quasi-intellectual rationale
for a momentum towards control, misanthropy, and hate.
