Caitlin restates what she's trying to do here in her space. It's to gather, summarize, and compile information such that it's ready to be used on the ignorant. And she's very good at that.
The problem is to apply this weaponry. Oftentimes people don't even want to hear about anything that's contrary to their set views. It's probably a majority of the immediate relations of everyone in this forum.
I wonder how Caitlin herself succeeds in her own circle. I bet even she has trouble with quite a few.
The only ones I've been able to convince are the ones who already see through it all. The others you have to start with "no, the earth isn't flat", "it doesn't have a dome over it", "gravity is what keeps you from flying off the ground as the earth spins and hitting your head on the dome which doesn't exist " and "yes, you CAN make chicken soup with canned chicken . Really".
So if we abnormolize the abnormalities of the abnormal they should become normal. I think. So since we have about 200 million +/- who are in this state to varying degrees, we best get started. It's going to be a long haul.
PS All the above are true. I didn't make them up. Not even the chicken soup.
