I once watched a little video about how the brain can't catch up quickly enough when someone's perception of reality suddenly clashes with undeniable information that conflicts with that reality and just goes *ping!*, like an elastic band that's been stretched out too far, into an incoherent and self-contradictory mess for a while until it can create a new framework to work off of. Fascinating stuff. It's got to be at play a lot here. There are people who seem to be genuinely arguing that driving around... in a car... is a good idea for an adhoc eye test. And that travelling 250 miles to visit family was never against the lockdown restrictions. From an anthropological standpoint, it's fascinating stuff.
