There's a great new propaganda tool - social media - that reaches zillions of people all at once. The human brain isn't designed to deal with this. The pandemic already isolated people into like-minded small groups. We're sitting ducks.

Part of me is detaching emotionally. I hope that somehow good wins over evil.
