Sunk-Cost Fallacy is a reflection of mass delusion and contradiction. Few people would stop wearing masks during the pandemic, despite clear evidence that we were not in a pandemic, and that, in any case, masks served no benefit. They had committed themselves to the theatre and believed that covering their faces signalled an altruistic nature. Many of those same people had spent years protesting the pollution of our oceans and the threat posed to wildlife. Then, for the next five years, they kindly threw millions of soiled face masks into the sea.
