A person's belief system

[scubadiver]

I have purchased Barrie Zwicker's book "Towers of Deception: the media cover-up of 9/11" and it is an interesting read.

One particular aspect is the conflict between emotion and rational thought. He mentions recent research which shows that a person derives positive pleasure from irrationally sticking with beliefs against evidence. When unwelcome information is rejected, the brains pleasure centre's light up.

Zwicker says he understands whether a person understands 9/11 depends on their world belief system (he compares an Ethiopian cab driver to a newspapers editor).

Understanding a person's world view is to understand what is at stake and what their interests are. Relating aspects of 9/11 to a person's world view could be the key to unlocking their mind regarding the 9/11 coverup.

scubadiver, does he pinpoint the research?

Sounds interesting, it seems at first contrary to what you would expect, IE the brains pain centre activity. Maybe the relief from the rejection brings the pleasure.
