Extremism
In situations where you suspect people are lying to you wholesale, i.e. a group–familial or culturally held lie or delusion, and in denial and yet aware of the underlying reality in some way–the best moral action is absolution to an extreme. It is how people behave in extreme situations that most often reveals who they really are. That is why the best long term policy is a prevailing consistency that forces people to conform to a set of overall standards. This is how one makes one’s point of view into a reality people are forced to interact with. That is why people tend to end up believing in some rather than in others. Always put your philosophy into action. What good is it otherwise?
