The "mindreading" fascinates me. I'll make some statement online similar to "I don't enjoy eating kale", and someone will insist I love it more than anything else in the world. I'll point out I never buy it, never suggest others buy it, never complimented someone on their excellent kale dish.. and their response is that some people like kale, and I'm a person, ergo I'm a deplorable kale lover. My suggestion that we not have kale for dinner is in fact a kale-whistle that somehow both kale-lovers and kale-haters hear. I form a coalition of kale-lovers by cleverly claiming it's gross, and should be totally absent from the menu.
Those folks start with the conclusion they wish to believe, and then hallucinate back from there, even claiming supernatural mindreading ability as their reason to dismiss actions and deed.
It terrifies me that there are unkown, unknowns that make me susceptible to believing in my ability to mindread, and beginning with a conclusion (which is unavoidable because everything is predicated on unprovable "givens") and forming strong opinions based on that.
