Many of you-- all of you, in fact-- will recognize this line as the end of the chorus of the immortal Doobie Brothers's song What A Fool Believes, sung by Michael McDonald and cowritten by Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins.
The song goes, guy and a lady used to be together and then they meet back up and the guy thinks something will happen and the lady knows nothing will.
And it should be obvious to the guy but he's a fool who believes and so no wise man has the power to reason away his belief.
What I'm trying to say is
AI Psychosis has made liars out of Michael McDonald and Kenny Loggins. No, it can actually be really dangerous to believe something in spite of all evidence to the contrary and you should listen to smart people in your life who know things. Or, just accept you don't know.
The world in What a Fool Believes is a world where two people can have a significant disagreement and yet at no point are they threats to each other. They live in different realities but how they treat each other in this is never questioned.
