Principia Discordia > Literate Chaotic
The Scrapyard --or-- CNO's brain dump
chaotic neutral observer:
After people make a decision, they have a predisposition to believing it was the right one (also see: Sunk Cost Fallacy; Brand Loyalty). I took the road less traveled by, which, in hindsight, was the correct choice, and proves my intellectual and moral superiority.
This type of bias is often present even when the person didn't actively make a decision, and their state is a result of external factors, or an accident of birth (My food preference/skin colour is superior to your food preference/skin colour).
Naturally, this extends to the country of one's birth. On average, the citizens will show a natural tendency to construct and amplify a narrative that "this" is the best country in which to live, and other countries' way of doing things is evil/wrong/backward/barbaric/inefficient.
If a country's narrative is broadcast widely enough, and loudly enough, they attract immigrants.
I don't know where I'm going with this.
