"My second motive is that I'm edging closer to the idea that we are, right now, living through an era of multiple, deliberate, professionally-calculated and designed Big Lies like nothing human history has ever seen before. The gics have discovered that they can do it effectively enough, and get away with it, so they do. This - of course - is prime matter to something like TLN: the way we're so comprehensively manipulated by lying narrative-management, on an industrial scale, all the goddamned time!
As the linked writer points out, once you've internalised that realisation solidly, you realise that trusting our pundits and 'leaders' on anything at all is a deeply problematic thing, much though we yearn naturally to do it. We need to cultivate instead a quite different stance, really of permanent - and profound - mistrust. This is actually quite essential to stay both sane and self-sovereign. Far from being a sceptical crew here, we may well not yet be sceptical enough to deal with our present parlous reality. And yet this vessel is already a nest of dissident malcontent sceptics! But maybe not yet sceptical enough, perhaps?" Well said Rhis..
Lies, damn lies and statistics.....the truth is far stranger than the fiction...Scary huh?
