Cults Have Explanations, And That's Bad
Confusion is good for you. Perception is often circular where reality is linear; in the spectrum, red shades into infrared and blue shades into ultraviolet, but in the color wheel, red and blue run together into violet. Genius and madness run together, and so do good taste and bad taste. So when your head is spinning, your brain is telling you in its own secret code that things are perfectly straightforward.
