Online Public Relations Thoughts

Sometimes people can be so disconnected from reality that it is astonishing to listen to them.  Consider this fellow.  He was part of the Capitol breach and he features himself as the "QAnon shaman."  Sadly for him, a judge has rejected his arguments for release from jail by declaring them flimsy and without remorse or repentance.  The judge ruled that the fellow could conduct further criminal actions if he were under house arrest.  So, he sits in the slammer and awaits his trial. Well he should.  He has reached a point of conspiracy thinking that is beyond the pale of civil society.  He is unreachable by facts and persuasion.  He knows what he knows and no one can tell him anything different.  Such people are dangers because they are unbound from social norms.  They are outliers on the curve -- three standard deviations from rational thinking.  There is no hope for them other than incarceration, removing them from the populace.
