If it wasn't so sad, it'd be fascinating to witness first hand, madness. You'd have to go all the way back to the early '30s to see it manifest in the German people and many centuries before that when witch hunters would go from city to city in Europe killing every female they encountered in the villages and towns they went to.
And, here it is again, unfolding before our very eyes in our politics and as a result, in our approach to medicine, science, math and the ability to reason it out. Despite our paying lip service to ethics, morality and the constructs that should guide us, outright lying and deception hold a higher reward than telling and accepting the truth. Like I said, both sad and fascinating to watch.
All the best,
