[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know a few people who turned out this way, including my ex.  All very smart and well educated.

There are two common traits that I can point to.  One is a very black and white thinking, no grey whatsoever.  E.g., if you can’t give a 100% guarantee that X is safe, it means that X is unsafe, and how dare you?  [b]The other is that they ARE probably smarter than an average person and they have an independent streak which leads them to center their identity around “not being a sheep” and believe they can “do their own research”, etc.

Add the internet echo chambers in the mix, and there you go.  [/quote]

That could be a point of vulnerability.  They're smarter than the average person but [b]not as intelligent and informed as the actual experts[/b].  So they're just better at creating justifications.[/quote]

Naomi Wolf was warning about the loss of civil liberties during COVID.  She wasn't saying that COVID didn't exist, or anything like that.  She was consistent in saying that people should have bodily autonomy, just like most of you would argue, if faced with abortion restrictions.

I would also question the "actual experts" who you listened to during the pandemic.  Most of them acknowledge, in released emails, to manipulating press coverage and suppressing scientific work, in order to cancel actual experts who signed the Great Barrington Declaration.  Their motives might have been well-meaning, but they definitely did not behave as scientists.  At the time, they refused to admit to any limitations of knowledge and since, have refused to apologize for the damage that they caused.  Hence, their credibility as "experts" is ruined.  Finally, Anthony Fauci was never, and I repeat, never trained in public health or policy.  He is an immunologist who briefly practiced medicine before becoming a lab scientist and bureaucrat.  He is an expert in some things, but they do not include public health, epidemiology or the Constitution.  So, I am totally fine with Naomi Wolf questioning his actions.[/quote]
