Hypnotic Denials

When habits are hard to break, history repeats itself.

While researching Subliminal Messaging, I couldn’t help but wonder whether there was some subliminal going on during the past three years which would somehow explain the viral fear humanity exhibited almost universally.

A constant stream of panic mixed with an endless repetition of the same mantras globally eventually led to a decay of our hard earned (and over centuries acquired!) ability to openly debate matters. Going forward (and using it as a simplified “BS propaganda detector”), it may well be worth remembering sentences such as “The science is settled”¹ and “We will continue to be your single source of truth […] Unless you hear it from us it is not the truth.”²

Some would argue that the enormous responsibilities and pressures governments internationally were facing — and given the unprecedented uncertainty in most of their leaders’ lifetime — that strictly controlling the narrative was an acceptable move, but given the pandemic is now officially declared over, and with all the overwhelming evidence now being presented and documented³, one could think that people would let go of their past errors, realize they were conned, and, move on.

Far from it!
