YouTube Description
as posted by the channelBret Weinstein explains that “the mythology that is necessary for us to function” is captured by “power players and money” to “convince us that we know who the good people are-
The good people are the ones who go to the doctor and get the injection that makes us all safe from disease. And the bad ones are the crazies or the selfish ones who, because there's some tiny little risk of something, aren't doing their part to protect the entire planet or whatever the thing is.
And the point is, this mythology is somebody's position statement that they have lodged in a kind of religious place in the in the population.”
