Show on TV about town in Japan where its residents often live to be 100 years old, and they can't quite figure out why. This shows that context is so important—that a certain constellation of factors creates a particular outcome. Sometimes you don't really know which star in the constellation is the dominant one.

Apparently, power lies in the power of lies. I ran a search to see what Marianne Williamson was saying and found an article that said she agreed with Trump on the pet-eating theory. That isn't remotely possible. People won't take the time to think that something might not be true. Propagandists know this. Humans aren't built for truth--they're built to be easily conned. 

Caroline Myss: "A tribe can't take the truth. There is absolutely no way a tribe can be reasoned with. It's all propaganda and spin...Carl Jung said a Nazi Germany [emerged] because we lack the reason and the wisdom to deal with what caused the evil, and a true seer realizes evil is a real archetypal [shadow]. They didn't dismantle it and say where did it come from–what activates it in the human psyche? What makes us receptive hosts to that? What makes us want to kill? It wasn't just the Germans–it's human nature and it landed there. [Jung} said it will go somewhere else and it's come here–we are the new host. It’s all propaganda and spin but we don't see it. But you have to look carefully. We're a nation of freedom and yet take away the rights [of minorities], shred our constitution. They have camps ready to go. What is the most unbelievable becomes the achievable." https://youtu.be/9qYItABECcM?si=TJAlddAFKe8xWTGA&t=1408

Apparently, YouTube generated more Election Day watch time than any other platform. That's where people were sucking up the propaganda before they went to vote.
