When any cognitive beliefs resist disproof by evidence, they are not factual beliefs.

They are secondary cognitive attitudes backed up by religious credence or political fervour.

The backing of the attitude in this case is strong enough to hide/normalise the split and oscillation between factual and imagined reality.

THE PRINCE OF NOTHING series by R. Scott Bakker

https://app.thestorygraph.com/series/6792

No idea how this amazing trilogy have eluded me for 2 decades!

"The best epic fantasy book I have read in a while. Tons of names, tribes, nations, cities, countries, factions, individuals clash in a massive once-in-a-millennium undertaking. What more does a bookworm need? Simply top-shelf stuff, imho. "
