This is nothing new. On sharing his discoveries that the earth was not flat and not the center of the universe, Galileo Galilei was tried by the Inquisition, found "vehemently suspect of heresy", and forced to recant. He spent the rest of his life under house arrest.

You are correct, this type of behavior is at least as old as civilization, but how do we understand it, and how do we fight it?

I think books and movies are great teaching tools to open up people's minds. When the pandemic first started, and the lies and deception began, I borrowed from the library books like the "Emperor's New Clothes" to read to my son, encouraging him to make the connections for himself. I also felt a need to watch movies like the original "The Matrix" and "Divergent" and re-read "1984" to help me not fall under the hypnotic spell. Movies like "Dopesick" on Netflix and "Monopoly: Who Owns the World" can help give people insight into the fraudulence and corruption in Big Pharma and the government. There are so many powerful documentaries coming out like "The Real Anthony Fauci" and of course, I'm very much looking forward to "Propaganda Exposed [UNCENSORED]".

That's a great question. I wish there was an easy answer. I believe the solution lies in our children: teaching them critical thinking, identifying confirmation bias, encouraging innovation, and learning to respect differences of opinion. However, these skills can be developed at any age. A friend of mine has started an important project that focuses on these very issues: https://consilienceproject.org/ Daniel was also interviewed about this topic on Jo Rogan: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2LNwwgJqOMKHOqdvwmLxqd

Yes, the key is in how we raise our children. What you are doing for your son is wonderful. I would add that emotional health and development is as important as the development of critical thinking.
