Canned beliefs

Ideas and concepts that appear to be held within formal, rigid and airtight definitional standards, but are actually vague, abstract and only identifiable by the canner; as such, the contents carry no weight and only serves to fit the canner's purposes upon opening and inhaling the vapors of which then can be transformed into its final verbal bullshit adaptation.

Will suspects that Jenny's canned beliefs about him are merely stale brain farts trapped decades ago, freshly pulled out of her ass... He proves it by lighting the pilot on her own gaslight, it smells funny and her mind blows up.

Belief

Whether your belief is correct or incorrect according to someone else's information, you still stand for it if it's what you believe to be true, since the alternative is falling for anything anybody else tells you, whether it be the government, healthcare, scientists, the media, or somebody you never met on facebook.

Nobody should try to dissuade or discourage somebody from a belief. At least there are still a few people still resisting the urge to fall back in line for a vaccine even when they're outnumbered by people in line to do what they are told to do next.
