    The USSR back when I was a kid was reputed to have one of the highest alcoholism rates in the world. Jokes were rampant about the vodka consumption. Reflecting upon that, whether true or an expanded reality, it would make sense that keeping a nation's masses well-sedated by promoting it from within, would lessen the chances of serious dissentive activity.

    It has kinda gotten that way here now. Americans' apathy is probably at the highest level in decades.

    Well I don't drink but when all you hear is this is a lie that is a lie, then I trust neither side. So, whatever will be will be. There are no good choices to be made is the only truth.

    That is itself a "GOOD" choice - the only "GOOD" choice possible in society. i.e. don't join in with any side that lies, and they all lie. (in society). So, then, where does that leave us ? Seeking the truth, not finding it in society...

    Not in media.
    Not in medical.
    Not in politics.
    Not in experts.
    Not in religion.
    Not in hollywood.
    Not in the stock market.
    Not in retirement.
    ....
    where then ?

    =============== see next post, quoted from a totally different thread, just seen......

    Here it is (I think) >>
    "
    This "let's punish people" mindset is what's wrong with American politics right now. It's impossible to have a civil conversation because you can't just disagree. The climate is such that if you don't believe as I do, I'm going to punish you for your views. I'm not going to change your mind. I'm just going to do anything possible to keep anyone else from listening to you.

    The problems and challenges of this society cannot be studied or even discussed in any meaningful way, because researchers and academics and politicians and the media always have to do lip service to the politically correct views. It's hurting science, it's hurting our self-understanding, and it's certainly reshaping our culture into one that people won't mind if it dies.

    And so you hear, "All the people with credentials agree with us." Well. that's true -- because you denied credentials to anybody who disagreed."
