  1. And self criticism, an even rarer quality in people!

  3. Is it really? With a mind addictive to "irrefutable truth" and absolutes, I can only see radicalization for another purpose to keep the mind intact. Once a brain is gone, it's gone...one can just repurpose it or end up with a broken mess. Only not entirely corrupted minds with certain personality traits can be saved. But only because they haven't gone off the deep end yet!

  5. My counter argument: In my view, people are what they are trained to be and it becomes part of a persons identity. This is hard to change and it requires people with self-criticism and a high intelligence. Qualities, the vast majority does not posses, let alone in combination and proof is not enough to change. Thus the correct conclusion is that deradicalization is next to impossible on a societal level. Individual exceptions do exist, like always, but that does not constitute proof.

  6. Bingo! Their minds are addicted to unquestionable truths and absolutes, it's how their brains operate. It is not a curable condition, but repurposing can be done indeed as it leaves the brain intact. It is however doubtable they ever become likable personalities after repurposing.
