>Are people who have conflicting beliefs mentally unsound?
The spectrum goes between having consistent but completely outlandish and untenable beliefs, and having a bunch of inconsistent but pragmatic beliefs that work under the right circumstances. There is no one on the left end of the spectrum, though plenty of people are imbalanced in that direction, embodying worst of both worlds. Being on the right side only becomes a problem when you try to formalize and systematize your ad hoc beliefs into some kind of weird Escherian mental structure, because then it starts to dictate your logic of behavior and becomes resistant to change. This truth that makes pseuds seethe.
