    Unfortunately, there are lots of ostriches in this thread who are going to think I’m promoting accelerationism, trump dictatorship, or putin.

      It’s referred to as Escalation of Commitment (at least in business school).

      Some people have a really hard time admitting when they’ve been wrong. Especially if they feel tricked/bamboozled. So instead, they double down with their original premise. In other words, there’s just no convincing someone who doesn’t have an open mind.
