This is such an important and genuinely terrifying post. I could completely go off on the rise of anti-science, but for now I’ll just add: it isn’t just boomers that get deceived. This is a warning to all of us.
Pay ATTENTION to what you are being told. If you think you cannot be deceived, you leave yourself open to deception. Question, doubt, research research research. Learn about your personal biases, dig up any subconscious cognitive dissonance. Keep an eye on your mind.
It needs to be stressed that biases, not a lack of intelligence, is very much the issue here. Being aware of the need to fact check yourself is key: Intelligence won’t protect you from bad or unhealthy mental states, or keep you safe from cults of any sort. Intelligence will just make it easier for you to rationalize and attempt to justify the malformed tools you’ve taken/been given to yourself and others. You need to be wise enough to challenge yourself.
Where the hell was Gideon Nav getting the protein for those giant biceps from? You know it wasn’t in the snow leek soup, bread, and tap water. Did Harrow just rock up to her cell with a sales catalogue sometimes all “I’m treating you, order whatever you want so long as it’s less than £50 babe” and Gideon was like “I will have a giant tub of protein powder and these porno mags, please and thank you”
