Data-Resistant Mental Archetypes

Some archetypes become so embedded that no amount of contradictory evidence can dislodge them:

Let’s look at three of the most data resistant archetypes of the Potemkin State that is Duncey Putin’s Russia today:

“Russia is invincible.

Russia is indispensable.

Russia has the right to determine its neighbouring countries’ destinies.”

You will see these archetypes immanent (literally: their Mana is occupying them like a translucent ghost) in zillions of memes.
