Breaking through delusions takes quite a bit of effort indeed. Pity so many midwits see themselves as enlightened, and their ideological opponents as deluded, hence the "us vs them" false dichotomy that so many of them like to indulge in. Two wrongs don't make a right, after all (but three rights make a left)!
I remain curious, is it easier to induce delusions or cure them in people of the 110-125 IQ range (and is there a difference between midwits and the merely above-average)? I'm told that it is easier to lie to someone than to convince them that they've been lied to, but that isn't universally true.

maybe not such a false dichotomy....the people who see reality V's those that don't/can't?...scary... (irrelevant of IQ)
It's easier to induce delusion ( a carrot - to offer a reality - and one that's already desired in the head of those being 'attacked'..)
_ ...and is there a difference between midwits and the merely above-average_.
Yes.
Not all people within 'the IQ range' are midwits ...
When I asked if there was a difference between midwits and the merely above average, I was referring specifically to the dichotomy of inducing vs curing delusions. In other words, are midwits especially stubborn compared to everyone else?
