BREAKING: Whale stranded in Strait of Hormuz unable to move due to barnacle buildup. Emergency talks between US and Iran underway to allow cleaner fish access to the Gulf. This is not a drill. The barnacles have won... This is the end... #oott
@calvinfroedge Barnacle removal is a few hours of work… The situation is much worse. Clingage builds, heating coils corrosion, cargo pumps and turbines seizures. And these are just a few. Oh, one more thing, how are you even getting parts over there?
The most powerful deception is not the obvious lie, but the "truth" everyone has been taught to believe.
'The difficult part is that most people do not experience deception as deception. They experience it as normality. That is why questioning dominant narratives often feels threatening to the majority.
A society can mistake consensus for truth. If enough people repeat a narrative, it gains the appearance of certainty. The deception is not always a deliberate lie; sometimes it is a shared illusion that people protect because it gives them order, identity, or comfort.'
