Fear produces strange behaviors. I am no rocket scientist, but I figured it out practically on day one. But then again, maybe that rocket scientist comparison needs to be switched because they really never made it to the moon.

Fear always prompts me to do research, because the more I know, the better I usually feel about a situation. My reading and research brought up information and questions that made me skeptical of the arguments being made about Covid and the supposed mitigation measures. But for some people, I think fear has the opposite effect. It shuts their brain down and they don’t think at all, just react.

You are so right on. I have a friend who will not talk about anything nefarious because “ it upsets me too much.”

RL - you were smart enough to do your reading and research in areas other than the mainstream. Folks could do research 24/7 but if it is all from the same ilk, the research will give false information.

Yes I guess my background has taught me to do that. If it’s all from the same ultimate source then you’re not getting the full story or the full range of options.
