I think about this a lot; God help me.
I understand why people accept the narratives the MSM and the Establishment spoonfeed them. I do.
It is practical to do so for many reasons. First of all, there are only so many hours in the day, making it neither practical nor desirable to spend hours fact-checking everything you hear, even on important matters. Almost everything we believe, outside our direct experience, comes from sources we trust.
Have you been to the moon? How do we know that our little robots have actually landed on Mars? Does Paraguay exist? I haven’t been there, after all. It could all be a hoax! But I trust that my beliefs reflect reality, because I trust the testimony of others.
Have you measured the diameter of the Earth? I haven’t. I have a pretty good idea of how to do it with simple tools (the Greeks did it millennia ago), but I accept what I was taught…
