I think the self defense mechanism is at work in everyone. Perhaps someone who had some localized brain damage might actually be free of self defense mechanisms, but then they might not last long. My theory is that everyone I have met is on a sliding scale of hipocrazy and house of cards of emotions and beliefs. I am thankful that we don't live longer than we do, or the damage would be worse, but then if people lived longer, they might be more educated if they retained that education however is an unfounded supposition. But do round worms have more ethics and morals because they live such short lives ? Delusion and self defense mechanisms go hand in hand, but does your left hemisphere know what your right hemisphere is doing ?
