Thank you. I don't know how I pulled that together.
But it's been my goal to respond intelligently and
informatively to those who skoff at just the mention
of an idea or force with enough power
to drasticly affect our lifestyles and freedoms.
I meant to say more about discernment.
Your remarks about "cognitive dissonance" describe my brother. He doesn't want to hear about any grand conspiracy theories because he insists he can't do anything about them, which makes him anxious. So he protects himself by ignoring all of it.
I, however, don't think ignorance is much protection.
