I'm so glad you're using Substack to let your mind off the leash of cookie-cutter space constraints. Shorter, longer -- it should fit the size of the thoughts and ideas you want to explore. This is great!

You present a great argument, but why does it infect only a small segment of the population? Refer back to the McMartin prosecutions, where it infected only selected segments of police, social workers, and the judiciary. It lasted for years and then died out. Both then and now normal folks were not convinced. There must be an element of peer pressure within the selected group to make this work. And that element does not extend to the broader population. If the people are not buying what the elites are selling, what are the prospects for the elites continuing? From 40 years ago, a cartoon captioned "There they go and I must hurry, for I am their leader."
