A very insightful and interesting quote from A Species in Denial -by Jeremy Griffith.

"The non-falsifiable situation

This is an appropriate point to address the problem of the 'non-falsifiable situation'. There has been an inference that those who oppose this information are suffering from denial. In fact I will say that reading my books amounts to an alienation test; the more alienated the reader the more their mind will resist the truth that is being presented.

In support of this I cite Christ, who said, 'everyone who does evil (has become corrupted) hates the light (the unevasive, denial-free truth), and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed' (John 3:20), and Plato, who has already been quoted as saying 'if he (the cave prisoner) were forcibly dragged up the steep and rocky ascent (out of the cave) ...into the sunlight...he would much object...his eyes would be so overwhelmed by the brightness...he would turn back and take refuge in the things which he could see' (Plato The Republic.

Once you propose that alienation is almost universal, people who then disagree with or oppose what you are putting forward can feel as though they are being dismissed as being alienated, evasive and ‘in denial’, leaving them no way to disprove or falsify the explanation being put forward.

That explains why so much of the world is controlled by a rather "alienated" group of people (like the American Congress) who have obtained power through special interest financing despite the fact that more than 80 percent of the American public disapproves.

And so we have come full circle. There are two kinds of evil -the do-nothing kind, where those in power do nothing, or the do-the-wrong-thing kind, where those in power do the worng thing
