"They won't believe you."
"They won't like you"
"They won't accept you."
"They aren't ready for you."
"Be careful what They hear you say."
I deal in reality only. I do not operate within the confines of hypothesis, intention, or postulation. To that end, as I have inquired, who, precisely, are "They?" Are these gross generalizations derived from current statistical evidence? Are these preconceptions verifiable and representative of the real world? Are these assertions based in facts or theory?
Who exactly are "They" that you are relying so heavily on to defend a position you personally won't?
In debate, this deference to an unseen, and unheard theoretical consensus is called an Appeal to Authority; the "Authority" in question being the unspoken consensus of the masses. This rhetorical failure is a logical fallacy.
I assert that "They" are illusionary at best.
A being secure in their spiritual understanding use "I" statements. In the end, anecdotal experience is the only truth each of us as individuals has to stand on. Any other assertions remains worthy of consideration, but not of immediate acceptance. Appeals to Authority represent the antithesis of personal understanding as the burden of understanding is supplemented for the ease of dogma.
Allow me to take this assertion further: Any dogmatic Appeal to Authority without proper vetting from the individual considering the reality of the claim is ultimately a deceptive and misleading failure of critical thinking and communication.
I'd go so far as to say that Appeals to the Authority of hypothetical consensus runs completely counter to any genuine pursuit of Truth and Knowledge.
Ultimately, despite the appearance of improbability, any thing is possible. Science begs it. Humanity encourages it. Appeals to Authority are Delusions.
Do not be deceived by "Them." "They" don't exist. Find out for yourself.
