We can choose between a world where conspiracy theories allow us to wait passively for corruption to be rooted out by invisible actors or one where we become the peaceful agents of change allowing genuine activism to take centre stage, by addressing systemic issues through concerted grassroots efforts and informed civic engagement.
“What is the truth?” is the last thing most of us are expected to ask, or find out. What we are expected to *believe* is the truth is more easily found. And what we are to think and say about those who believe differently, even more readily still. As the old joke goes “The news used to tell us what happened, and we decided what to think about it, now the news tells us what to think, and we decide whether it even happened that way.”
The ‘research’ of Kinsey was Mengele ‘science’. Kick him and his influence out of your schools, and teach your children the truth.
