Kate, Great teaching story! "We can blame Big Government, Big Media and Big Pharma, but in the end, it is in the mind of the consumers, or the ‘patients’, who don’t want to accept reality." Boom!
Thanks Barry! This piece was most definitely inspired by our conversation, and your way of using your own stories to plant the seeds of a shifting mindset! :)
This is logical and insightful, and unfortunately accurate. There seems to be such a strong need to believe everything is fine, that people will watch their own loved ones suffering from side affects and still believe they did the right thing. Or immediately after the shot need triple bypass surgery, and refuse to admit either correlation or causation. Great article!
Again, well stated and an excellent parable of the times. It is not just the vaccines but also the other major issue, climate and how to best address its changes while maintaining a functioning and orderly society.
Of course, going against any orthodoxy is always going to result in conflict as, by definition, the true believers have so much invested in that story which they cannot give up.
Hi Kate I enjoyed yr story. I do think there is more going on then just “not wanting to”
I do mot think it’s mostly sunken costs either.
I hv researched deeply mass formation and also hv had a career in philosophy of education. One of my specialties is researching why so many kids are struggling with Math or cognitive critical thinking skills. It turns out there stuck in their affective mode. You know fear anger disgust loneliness. And when one is stuck in their affect mode they are blocked from their cognitive or critical thinking. My thesis and research lines up independently and really well with Mattais Desmet’s. I’m in the middle of my first book on education outlining this theory and how to improve critical thinking and students learning in general. In the end you are correct that it is fundamentally a psychological problem /condition of the masses and TGE solution I feel accordingly is not political but psychological . How can we inoculate ( ironic I know) ourselves psychologically from all the ongoing manipulation .
For me TGE solution clearly starts with improving the teaching and learning of critical thinking in our young children Namaste Keep up your courageous work
So very true! How ironic that people would rather be fooled then admit they've been fooled!

Thanks, Kate! The inspiration went both ways. I just finished a draft of the essay you encouraged me to write.
Excellent! Can’t wait to read :)
Absolutely bang on.
