    I've tried to reason with colleagues who have the intelligence and training to see what was wrong with all the papers and the response to the cold virus. They are consumed with fear about personal safety and/or consumed with fear of standing out from the crowd. When people are afraid they turn off their intellect and become panicking herd animals. Education is supposed to teach us to control our fear but we haven't seen education around here for decades.

    The corollary is that it is impossible to reason with frightened people. You can't talk sheep out of a stampede. You can only stand aside so as not to get trampled, and perhaps use the opportunity to harvest as many as you want.

    Einstein was the same. The media props the people that play so they have constant coverage. The media has to carefully craft who they have on, and the guest has to shape-shift in-order to continue their quest for power. I mean look at it from the perspective of the media, would they want to deal with a Rip every time they had a story to cover? Didn’t some Borat guy try that? They pick the people that are full of themselves with some credentials because it makes their job “doable.” This is called narrowcasting, not conspiracy… and it’s everywhere.

    They come out of nowhere to play a role despite having questionable experience or competence in their profession.

    It appears that the LNP does go to the heart and ovaries and they knew it.

    I endorse this post. The phenomenon you mention is really strange, once the panic takes over, they want the stampede, they need it, they will not stop at anything to stampede your ass.

    If we were paying attention, a lot of us learned this in high school taking girls to scary movies.

    What's wrong with Friedman and why the comparison with two heads of State and two scientific tv entertainers?

    Let me clarify my statement as not being about the dope on the video or any other "expert" statements used for effect. The inability of a large portion of the population to think, as opposed to react, helps explain why history repeats itself and why I posit there will be another totalitarian or group of them (I won't name historical examples...) that will be the cause of mass murder and stripping of freedom/liberty somewhere and sometime in the future; probably here. It may take generations, which gives me reason to claim I'm right until I expire.

    Like the NLP is to strength, thinking critically about EVERYTHING is not easy and sometimes not enjoyable, but it's required; particularly if one wishes to maintain freedom of life and liberty as outlined in that outdated rag that created this American Experiment. And it's something a large portion of people will simply not do, regardless of how important it is and/or whether they know they should. Prior to 2020, I didn't make the connection which makes me about as worthless.
