Once the mind is transfixed, it is hardened beyond repair
By Robert Arvay
There is a little known, and less understood, mental affliction, which I will call transfixion. It is to the mind what setting is to concrete. When freshly mixed with water, concrete is malleable. Once it sets, however, it hardens irreversibly and can no longer be reshaped, or corrected, unless it is cut or broken. The transfixed mind is like that.
Before you go leafing through your DSM (psychiatry’s diagnostic manual), don’t bother; transfixion is not there. It is, however, very real. One can observe it when attempting to reason with any committed leftist. The condition is common and has been on display for months in some videotaped Q-and-A sessions with people such as Ben Shapiro at a few college events.
Essentially, the symptoms of mental transfixion include complete immunity to reason and an absolute refusal to acknowledge facts, no matter how obvious, no matter how clearly explained. The transfixed mind begins with its desired conclusion, adds a strong dose of violent emotion mixed with loudly chanted slogans, and then works toward that irrational conclusion with the tenacity of a bulldog.
