    This type of person doesn’t particularly like any sort of de-integrated thinking in my experience. If you think of something in one way, then everything else ends up being thought of in a similar fashion. That’s partly how you end up with so much entertainment media influence in their day-to-day considerations of more real, serious matters.

    Once you add in avoidance of things you’d rather not think about, it ends up as a very low cognitive dissonance load, which I think is a major part of the appeal.
