One way to achieve full confidence in what you believe and support is to minimize the extent to which you are aware of evidence which suggests that you are walking on the thin ice of a paradoxical situation where certainty is likely to be misleading. Thus we may face paradoxical situations with the tools of repression and inhibition of disturbing knowledge. The more insecure we are, the more we will tend to use such tools, the more we are likely to engage in pretense and collusive games of mutual self deception. Enthusiastic people tend to be more successful than people who are timid with uncertain convictions. We tend to respect and reward enthusiastic people who do not show timidity, hesitancy, uncertainty, doubt, or second thoughts. It pays to be enthusiastic. It does not pay to be uncertain. Thus we seek to achieve certainty by using the tools of repression and inhibition of disturbing knowledge when it surfaces in our own consciousness, or in the consciousness of others. People who are insecure in their uncertain self esteem are prone to inhibit expressions by others which bring to consciousness any evidence, thoughts, perceptions, insights, etc. which undermine their hard won certainty and self confidence. Freedom of speech, press, association and assembly look unimportant to such people in the face of the threat of their pseudo certainty being undermined. (c) 2005 by Paul A.
