Nothing says “trust the system” like being told which topics are off-limits.
When curiosity has forbidden zones, you already know who’s afraid of you looking behind the curtain.
PS: Don't just think about governments; this applies to every system.
Is flat earth a forbidden zone, or is it just a zone of ridicule? How do you distinguish between the two? There is a thin line between searching for the truth and being crazy.
Dave is stuck on the flat part. This has been known to be untrue since antiquity. The work of Copernicus and Galileo might as well be wild sci-fi to him. :-)
Anyway, trying to find "The Truth" on TikTok is a diagnosis in itself.
