As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore. A person who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell him nothing, even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents and pictures. . . . he will refuse to believe it . . . That’s the tragedy of the situation of demoralization.
