When I was very young, I saw the Francis Bacon quote, “Man prefers to believe what he prefers to be true.”
Seeing this quote was a pivotal event in my life, because in contradicting the conventional and false assumption that we simply prefer to believe what’s true, it illustrated the need to seek objective truth over my emotional preference.
I haven’t always succeeded. And sometimes objective truth is the same as my emotional preference.
My point here is that if what you tell me is true, then I want to believe it.

So does this mean you are going to drop the whole ridiculous "Khazarian" shtick based on no EVIDENCE other than what you want to believe? Or are you going to continue to push your little obsession? Perhaps this could be a good time for self-enlightenment, Grasshopper.
