The sinister use of fear

June 6, 2021 by Tim Barry Leave a Comment

“The suppressed fear of death is supremely powerful combined with the rationally imposed ideas of solidarity and conformity and protecting others. The unconscious mind is manipulable using the most morally virtuous rational reasons, rendering people pliable. And thus, ‘three weeks to flatten the curve’ morphed into living under a year of emergency laws, to hundreds of statutory instruments passed by ministerial diktat, to the proposal of a potential new medical digital ID. If you believe in democracy you must be suspicious of the use of psychology to manipulate you against your will. Nudge is anti-democratic. The use of fear is a sinister form of control.”

The Lockdown Ideology

April 20, 2021 by Tim Barry Leave a Comment

Lockdown happened because the people who believed in them became dominant in the world of ideas, or at least prominent enough to override and banish traditional principles of public health.

Mask madness

March 23, 2021 by Tim Barry Leave a Comment

Last year, when we emerged from state-mandated house arrest, we entered “the new normal” of mask-wearing and social distance to prevent the spread of Covid-19. We did all of that and it did not prevent the spread of Covid-19 – so we were all placed under house arrest again.
