I've had this open in a tab for some weeks and I do not remember if it was because of somebody's toot, I guess it might be related to the "AI" hype.

"Dereistic thinking represents a profound cognitive distortion characterized by the systematic failure to incorporate objective facts and external context into the decision-making process. Instead of engaging in rational assessment based on empirical evidence, individuals relying on this mode of thought prioritize internal assumptions, personal beliefs, and wish fulfillment. This detachment from reality fundamentally undermines critical thinking and is defined by the elevation of subjective, private logic over shared, verifiable truth. While mild forms of dereistic thinking may manifest in everyday biases, its more extreme expressions can lead to severely flawed judgments, posing significant risks, particularly when the individual occupies a position of authority or influence.
