I listen to a lot of podcasts lately. Today it’s Safety Mania: Charles Eisenstein Talks COVID Hysteria, Mob Dynamics, and How to Forge ‘Communities of Sanity’ on American Thought Leaders. It’s a worthwhile listen if you have an hour. Human beings are exquisitely attuned to reading the mood of the mob. It’s a survival mechanism. And in order to fit in, we instinctively adopt the “correct” opinions and profess those opinions. We signal the appropriate virtues. We respect the appropriate taboos that mark us as part of the “in” group and not part of the sacrificial subclass. That mark of belonging could be a mask, could be a vaccine, a vaccine card… And it doesn’t matter if the mask actually works of if the vaccine actually works. It doesn’t matter if the kid actually has cooties or not. This is an ancient, powerful psychological disposition that fascists and totalitarians exploit in order to control society.
So good!!!
Speaking of safety and control paradigms, Alan Watts made highly relevant point too ...
