8. Really? I think that happens only when ignorance breeds fear

I've cared for a lot of delusional people who didn't particularly hate anyone, even when they thought their food was being poisoned.

I have only met one scary delusional person. I was right to think he was scary, he committed mass murder 3 years later.

Now ignorance + superstition, that's a toxic package and those people can be talked into just about anything, especially when they're pointed at other people as the cause of their cognitive dissonance. See: Florida.
