Francis, I know you’re a really kind person but the guy in the blue cap.......even you must’ve been desperate to point out the error of his ways? His ‘for the greater good’ ideology would have us all hooked up the the matrix and scanning our eyeballs to buy a loaf. He seemed like a proper pussy 🤷🏼♀️
But positive in general. Most seem to think it’s a bad idea.
I was interested in having people open up their views to us so we can gauge something of public opinion so it was never my intention to challenge opinions on that day. With the man in the blue cap, I don't think anything would have been achieved by arguing with him anyway. The answers to two more questions will follow and you will get more of an idea from those clips where people are at in their thinking. People didn't like lockdown but seemed to think it was necessary.
You have a brilliant relaxed interview style. Not sure I’d have the patience to stay silent when I heard a ridiculous point of view. You do it so well.
I’ll look forward to hearing the follow up questions. It’s fascinating to see how people have been propagandised to outsource their decision making. Even now there are lots who think they did the right thing. People don’t seem to accept that the harm of lockdown was worse because it hasn’t been exposed in the media. I’m still flabbergasted that people thought they had no choice.
I suppose I have had years of practice of listening to ridiculous points of view. It has been quite an experience operating in society whilst seeing behind the curtain. I try to remember that most people are innately good and well-meaning however frustrating the ignorance and brainwashing can be. I know that might sound patronising but that's how it is.
No it doesn’t sound patronising at all. I agree. I once had to door knock an entire estate in a really rough area. I came away with a really positive impression. Most people are good and want to do the right thing. It’s just a shame that they have been given a false impression of what the ‘right thing’ is.
Excellent work though. I do like the way you capture those views as it’s a historical record of the mass formation. Quite fascinating.
Yes it was definitely about habit forming and conditioning people to break their more social habits and it worked in a lot of ways for a lot of people.
It worked incredibly well, I couldn't believe they can force people to behave like that for almost two / three years. When we are allowed to discuss it now, I never really understood the clips with Yuval Noah Harari, his claims at least for me always seemed like out of this world - "The rise of the useless class", "There’s No Such Thing as Free Will", "Myth of freedom" but after the 4 years and what I saw during that as well as the current "opinions" and silence around, I think I am getting idea what he meant and the people in Davos or around, who pushed this.
But still, if people were little bit creative, you didn´t have to submit to that, there were ways how to resist but most of them around 80% didn´t even care to bother with that. It´s a strange situation currently, I would love to hear more opinions, maybe from my generation 20 - 30s specially does someone still believe the "deadly virus" cover story?
Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can change the world. So maybe that is part of their plan. This thought reminded me of a moment in a recent Alison McDowell video when she said:
"I think they're looking for patterns in social systems where small, incremental changes result in significant changes and I would assume generally significant changes that advance towards a goal".

Interesting comment about lockdown getting people used to staying at home and ordering things over the internet!
