there is another plague, for a while now. that is making this one worse
I had to step away from my regular work, tracking how ideas spread, to the pandemice patterning.
Just because an idea is real, does not mean it is based on reality. Since the early 70' efforts at ordiary politcal activity, have spawned Mutant Children.
Hillary is a lizard, the Earth is flat, Trump is the head of the illuminati, the adminstration is rebuilding the internment camps. ( heard that one every admin since carter)
These are examples of those mutant children.
If you dont understand a thing, especailly if it fearful, you will grab whatever seems to explaine it. Especially if it supports the fear responce
Information, facts that can be known
Misinformation, the fact you know is wrong
Disinformation, you have been given facts that are deliberalty untrue
There are ideas. Spreading from mind to moind, that are misinformation, of worse disinformation.
Some are harmless, others are dangerous.
Toxic ideas are harmfull to those that have them
I have had to go back to Biological work rather than the Human mental ecology thaat is my recent specialty.
(I do not work for these follks, but do similar stuff)
Do not assume i share thier opinons
