After paying attention to the news in the last year or two I have come to the conclusion that we are in the FAFO period of our society.
No kidding. I truly think that we have raised a generation or two of people that have been constantly told that whatever their ideas and feelings were, even if they were wrong, were completely valid and that they were okay with feeling that way and that they were always right. Not only that, everybody else was told that we should be feeling the same way! And Lord help us if we had a different opinion...... We were racist or intolerant or we got "canceled".
Then you throw into the mixed social media and this new influencer trend, and bingo, you got a bunch of young people that feel like they know everything without actually knowing anything. I mean, it's okay to question what you know is true but then there's also a point where taking one source or unsubstantiated sources and then building your whole identity and belief construct around it that kind of seems self-destructive.
The best example of this is vaccines and the medical field. Honest to goodness! People feel that vaccines are killing more people than their saving. And I have no idea how they have been conned into believing that. I mean look at the rates of measles....... People are starting to deny vitamin k shots to babies. That means we're going to have more babies dying from brain bleeds. We're going to have people that are going to be disabled or have lifelong complications to measles. And it won't take long but polio is right behind it..... probably. All kinds of cancers from HPV popping up again and chicken pox will take hold probably and a whole lot of other issues that we haven't seen in decades and decades because people are deciding not to vaccinate their kids anymore. And then we will see a lot of people suffering.
So, you want to go against decades worth of research and scientific conclusions? You want to believe that getting measles is much less risk than getting the vaccinations? Okay. You want to argue that sea salt is some kind of miracle compared to table salt when they really have no difference hardly at all? Okay. You truly think that eating and all meat diet is going to make you the healthiest person ever? Okay. You think turning the food pyramid on it's top will cause people to eat better and make our society more healthy? Okay. You honestly think that raw milk is some type of God's perfect food? Okay. You truly think that these congressmen and congresswomen and the president is making your life better? Okay. Still waiting for those food prices and gas prices and medicines and prices on necessary goods to drop because " they " say they will? Okay. You think those chiropractors and functional health, or whatever those fake degrees are called, are really experts in their "field" when they haven't hardly spent any years studying or practicing in? Okay.
Okay..... Go ahead and follow them. Do exactly what they say.
In the end.....you can..... FAFO.
But I won't.
Man, the outside world must be shaking their head and laughing at us...... American arrogance. There's nothing like it.
