Delusional Homeostasis

Many people adopt and believe in principles, proclamations, and arbitrary morals and values that they have been indoctrinated with from birth, through childhood and adolescence, before neural pathways and other significant areas of the brain have developed, obstructing critical thinking and, in many cases, following into adulthood.

Being a result, as the principal function of logic in the dogmatic individual, fundamentalism actively constructs a false homeostatic framework to discourage autonomy and promote sanction for cognitively damaging processes. As a result, they find a sense of familiarity, comfort, and security by rejecting most empirical or objective foundations.

Many dogmatic people are afraid of deviating far outside their cultural mores. However, it merely contributes to subjugating one’s nature to those delusional beliefs, resulting in dualism or cognitive dissonance.

Because it contradicts their doctrine’s justification, the ideological semantics of dogma, as well as the deluded homeostatic cognition it produces, serves primarily as a catalyst for dismissing any logical validity in many academic disciplines, as well as the premise of logic overall.

Individuals operating under delusional homeostasis are deterred from effectively addressing their challenges through dogmatic suppressing and, presumably, justifying the challenges with meta-narratives that align with their unfounded beliefs, while they are unconsciously unaware of the conceptual systems to which they implicitly conform.

It is absolving them of their accountability to external reality while dismissing Platonic realism as a state of existence. By resisting fear rather than experiencing it, one subjects themselves to a variety of factions, including religions/cults, media propaganda, and industrial misrepresentations, all of which can manipulate and present a false sense of security with a delusion of those fears.

Those who choose to remain in delusional homeostasis may never understand that their dictating sect distorts their insecurities with fear tactics and false promises based on the edict of the sect and obstructing their individual goals and ambitions that were almost assuredly the dictating sect’s goals because the dogmatic individual never had an opportunity to develop their sense of self, not one that they were given.

Having one’s aspirations and desires predetermined by an institution, whether religious, political, or industrial, diminishes one’s sense of autonomy and individuality in a way that seems normal to them. However, it only imprisons them in a mind that is no longer theirs.

From birth, it was never theirs to begin.
