That which is true, may not be believed, due to the operation of collusions. Escaping from collusions is the process of acquiring honest belief, the process of taking colluded "truth" seriously and acknowledging its lack of integrity. The trick is to distinguish between escaping collusions and becoming the victim of new collusions whereby that which is false is believed to be true. Through cooperative desires, that which is unbelievable may become believable, and so true and credible. When many people agree with us that what we desire is desirable and possible, we tend to work together to make that real, by whatever means we have available. When what we desire and believe to be possible flies in the face of immutable reality, we may cooperate in convincing each other that what we desire is realized, ignoring evidence to the contrary. While we may not be able to eliminate the evidence to the contrary, we can regard other foci of attention as so much more important, that we become unaware of the evidence to the contrary. The process of creating a collusion is the process of setting priorities in such a way that undesired evidence is ignored, and ultimately reality is denied. In such cooperative efforts we can come to believe that which is impossible, and be none-the-wiser as to what we have accomplished. When people's desires lack integrity people are prone to develop beliefs which further undermine their personal integrity. People who lack integrity do not cohere, do not cooperate, do not hang together. When people's circumstances lead them to be collusively dependent upon each other, they do not survive---because they do not cohere, do not cooperate, do not hang together. People who are members of one ecosystem are interdependent even though they may not desire to be interdependent. Some may desire to be superior, and so believe that they are superior to others who are members of their common ecosystem. Such desires and beliefs undermine the possibility of such members of a common ecosystem to cohere, to cooperate; so they get hung separately by the immutable forces of nature which their priorities lead them to ignore. Human beings are members of one common ecosystem that supports all alike, the blue planet which is third from a star of spectral class G3. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
