The fringes are, by definition, the habitat of the abnormal. This is where us crackpots, conspiracy theorists, and the generally mentally deranged hang out 😂 But is this to say that the mental operations of the mainstream are rational? Where our social interactions are concerned, I would argue that they are not. On the contrary, when 'normality' is threatened a deeper, more ancient and primitive mental region is retreated to. This part of the brain is impervious to rational appeals. It is concerned simply with the defense of the collective, upon which the survival of the community depends, and for which task any critical thinking must be directed outwards, at the attacker, and not at our own beliefs. This is a knee-jerk reaction, not a rational one.
Accordingly, your response to the attached interview will at least initially be dictated by which side of the Covid divide you're on. The pro-C-19-vaxxer will as instantly recognize the enemy as would a Ukrainian hearing a Russian accent; while the anti- will hang on every word, energized by the same truths that have pro-vaxxers reaching for the DELETE button. That's how we are, and it's only our unfounded assumptions about the preeminence of the thinking faculty that blind us to the deeper and more powerful drives of which thinking is as much the handmaiden as the boss.
Thinking is, first and foremost, harnessed to the task of defending the community of agreements with which our beliefs identify. Criticisms directed at that are a potential threat to us. Persons thus threatened are not intellectually separate from the community with which they identify. On the contrary, the two are very much welded together.
This is why – forgive the leap - our communities tend to be ruled by sociopaths. Sociopaths are 'wild', whereas those they govern are 'tame'. Because they are unconstrained by 'normal' humanitarian impulses, sociopaths can move freely outside the moral boundaries community members are instinctively committed to, and are thus able to focus on and implement such emotionally neutral concerns as the efficient attainment of goals that their subjects would reject as morally unthinkable.
After sixteen years as worldwide research head and Vice President for Pfizer’s respiratory unit, and thereafter CEO of a successful biotech company, Dr. Mike Yeadon found himself led by logical deduction in 2020 and beyond to the reluctant conclusion that the populations of the Western world are being deliberately culled.
His naturally humanitarian self at first refused to entertain such a ghastly possibility, but the excuse of sheer governmental stupidity became increasingly untenable as he witnessed decision after decision being taken that ran counter to the accumulated medical wisdom with which he was familiar, and which until then had defined the medical community. Feeling morally compelled thereafter to alert the wider public to what was being done to them, Yeadon immediately ran foul of both the power of those pushing the agenda, and the community resistance of a public whose instincts were the same as his had been, but who lacked either the medical expertise or, alternatively, the disenchantment to confront the unthinkable and accept his conclusions.
Now time has all but run out, but
the tide is gradually turning as more and more people lose their freedoms,
their livelihoods, and their health. Although demonetized and de-platformed Dr.
Yeadon continues courageously to speak out about the genocidal – some are now
calling them democidal - crimes being perpetrated on the public by their
governments through, especially, their so-called health services. Here he is
interviewed by Maajid Nawaz -
