Contagion with opposing postulates happens all the time. The
school system is designed to produce “good “ citizens who go to
work and pay taxes because it is the right thing to do. But if
you see that the government is corrupt then paying taxes is the
wrong thing to do.
A kid falls in love with a certain girl but she rejects him and
he decides he is no good.
A team has a loosing season and decides that they are second
rate players.
All of these are contagion by opposing postulates. Life is full
of them.

The silly thing is that the overwhelmed person does not really
copy the postulate of the other.
He instead makes his own postulate that can be similar or very
different.
The girl might reject a guy because he is not at all the tall
and dark movie star type, and she already has a secret lover.
But the rejected guy might decide he is a loser as he always
goes broke and cannot afford expensive bikes.
Most people create their own weird reasons for those bad things
happening :-\

Like when I make optimistic conjectures only to be automatically
countered with negativity over and over again, until I "learn".

Imo it means that two people who have opposing views collide and
become contaminiated with one another if they communicate
disagreement. Even if by means of communication one player
decides to agree with the oppenents postulate anout something
the original postulate he had then became contaminated or in
other words it changed his original idea from one to another.
For example, He loved bread but someone said there is arsenic in
it and he doesn't like arsenic because its poison and thus his
postuale changed and he doesnt eat bread because of the
opponents view.

... or he decides to make his own bread with good flour made
from ancient wheat grains, or he feels so much better not eating
bread that he realizes better gut health because of it.... or he
researches on i'net and finds out that millet bread is healthier
and tastes just as good. It is hard to box in a being who is in
reality an unlimited eternal spiritual being and knows it;
however I do see what you are saying can and does happen often.
For example, if your spouse loves (must know) pepperoni pizza,
and you know it is not healthy for the body, but they eat it all
the time .... possibly sooner or later you will find yourself
eating pepperoni pizza and even liking it (but maybe you take
Oxy-Powder and your spouse does not) - is that what you mean?

Well thats a very broad way of looking at it but imo it is
related more to changing a postulate because of some effect.
Like turns to dislike. All dislikes are contamined postualted
with the exception of physical pain. So what you dislike is a
contamined postualte. Things that are generally good and have
become bad to you will be a contaminted postualte. This is
reactive mind stuff. Below 2.0 on the tone scale. Its not
unusual to disagree with torture or murder as these things are
natural dislikes. These things are considered to be bad because
they dont contribute to a greater good. But if you dont like art
then your postualtes about that were contaminated with some
opposing postualte. Art isnt bad in fact its inherently good for
all. Art is sort of the exspression of anything and granting it
beingness. Art is a appreciating creation.
