What's crazy (pun intended) is how much thought they put into developing the models. Some of them clearly require some form of intelligence to work out.
But they just can't see the holes. Some kind of mental/intellectual filter is at play.

Watching something like that happen, where a very intelligent person gets caught in a spiral, terrifies me. It makes me question my own sanity, like how the fuck do I know that I haven't fallen into the same trap? I'm really glad I was exposed to Robert Anton Wilson and his "non-belief" system of constantly adjusting your perspective.
