The Willfully Blind Individual
Jane's faith in a life-saving treatment shatters as its deadly nature is revealed. Struggling with denial, she confronts the harsh reality, embodying the psychological struggle of willful blindness.
The world was shaken by a shocking revelation: injectable mod-RNA drugs, once hailed as a breakthrough in combating Disease CV, were now determined to be GMO and gene-therapy drugs contaminated with endotoxins and synthetic DNA. This discovery foretold a grim future for those who had been vaccinated, predicting inevitable early death. Despite the mounting evidence, Jane, like many others, refused to acknowledge these findings, choosing instead to remain steadfast in her belief in the safety and efficacy of the drugs.
Jane’s Story
Jane, a 45-year-old marketing professional, prided herself on staying informed and making decisions based on scientific evidence. When Disease CV struck, she was among the first to get vaccinated, trusting in the assurances from health authorities and scientific experts. She believed that by getting vaccinated, she was protecting herself, her family, and her community.
As news of the injectable drugs' contamination began to surface, Jane felt an uneasy twinge of doubt. Reports detailed how these drugs, initially celebrated for their innovative approach, were now implicated in serious health risks due to their genetic modifications and synthetic contaminants. Friends and colleagues started sharing articles and studies, painting a dire picture of the vaccines' long-term effects. Yet, Jane found herself clinging to her initial belief in their safety, unable to reconcile the new, disturbing information with her previous convictions.
The Psychological Struggle
Jane's mind was a battlefield of conflicting beliefs. On one side, she had her firm trust in the scientific community and the benefits of vaccination. On the other, the new evidence pointed to a catastrophic error. This mental conflict, known as cognitive dissonance, created significant discomfort. To alleviate this, Jane denied the new information, choosing to reinforce her original belief in the drugs' safety.
Accepting the toxic nature of the injectable drugs would shatter Jane's sense of security and provoke immense emotional distress. Denial became her shield, a psychological defense mechanism protecting her from the anxiety, fear, and potential despair that acknowledgment would bring. By refusing to accept reality, Jane maintained a facade of normalcy and emotional stability.
In her quest for reassurance, Jane sought out information that confirmed her existing beliefs. She frequented social media groups and news outlets that echoed her views, dismissing reports and studies that contradicted her perspective. This confirmation bias reinforced her belief in the safety of the injectable drugs and shielded her from conflicting information.
Jane underestimated the possibility and severity of the adverse effects, believing that life would continue as usual. This normalcy bias led her to downplay the significance of the new information, convincing herself that the drugs couldn't be as harmful as claimed and that any issues were exaggerated or isolated incidents.
Confronting the catastrophic nature of the injectable drugs would likely lead Jane to overwhelming guilt, fear, and helplessness. Denial helped her avoid these painful emotions, allowing her to continue with her daily life without the burden of acknowledging a grim reality.
Within Jane's social circle, there was a predominant belief in the safety and efficacy of the injectable drugs. To maintain group cohesion and avoid social conflict, Jane conformed to this collective belief, suppressing any doubts or dissenting views she might have. The pressure to align with her peers reinforced her willful blindness.
Accepting the new reality would necessitate significant changes in Jane's behavior, relationships, and worldview. The uncertainty and discomfort associated with these changes drove her to resist altering her beliefs. By clinging to the status quo, she avoided the daunting prospect of upheaval in her life.
Influence of Nudge Units
Nudge Units, or Behavioral Insights Teams, played a significant role in shaping public perceptions and behaviors regarding the injectable drugs. These units employed subtle interventions to promote what they perceived as beneficial decisions. In Jane's case, several factors influenced her psychological state.
Nudge Units consistently emphasized the safety and efficacy of the injectable drugs. This messaging reinforced Jane's preexisting beliefs, making it more difficult for her to accept contradictory evidence.
Campaigns highlighting the widespread acceptance of the drugs created a sense of social pressure to conform. Jane felt compelled to align with the majority to avoid social alienation, exacerbating her denial.
The constant visibility of positive information about the drugs, promoted by Nudge Units, made it easier for Jane to focus on supportive evidence while disregarding adverse reports.
Messages emphasizing the benefits of vaccination, such as travel freedom and social activities, created a fear of missing out. Jane ignored negative information to maintain her lifestyle and social opportunities, deepening her denial.
The portrayal of vaccination as a moral and civic duty influenced Jane's decision-making. Accepting that something promoted as socially responsible could be harmful created significant cognitive dissonance, leading her to reject adverse information.
Addressing Willful Blindness
To address Jane's willful blindness, a comprehensive approach considering cognitive, emotional, and social factors is essential.
Public health communications should provide balanced information about potential risks and benefits, enabling individuals like Jane to make more informed decisions.
Promoting critical thinking and media literacy can help individuals recognize biases and evaluate information objectively.
Creating forums for open discussion without fear of judgment can reduce social pressures and facilitate a more nuanced understanding of the issues.
Providing clear, transparent, and evidence-based information about the decision-making processes and the science behind public health recommendations can build trust and reduce denial and cognitive dissonance.
By understanding the psychological mechanisms at play and the influence of Nudge Units, we can better support individuals like Jane in confronting uncomfortable truths and making more informed decisions about their health and well-being.
Yup, it is very very difficult to face. And very isolating. And then there's the fact that you have this sh*t in your body and therefore face inevitable consequences.
Rather let them read the science fiction and decide.
The following statements, which were made in 1981 by powerful international banker and unapologetic eugenicist, Jacques Attali, are taken from Interviews with Michel Salomon – The Faces of the Future, Seghers edition, which was published in France by Emi Lit when Attali was a senior adviser to French President, Francoise Mitterand:
“In the future it will be a question of finding a way to reduce the population. We will start with the old, because as soon as it exceeds 60-65 years man lives longer than he produces and costs society dearly, then the weak and then the useless who do nothing for society because there will be more and more of them, and especially the stupid ones.
Euthanasia targeting these groups; euthanasia will have to be an essential instrument of our future societies, in all cases. We cannot of course execute people or set up camps. We will get rid of them by making them believe it is for their own good.

Too large a population, and for the most part unnecessary, is something economically too expensive. Socially, it is also much better for the human machine to come to an abrupt halt rather than gradually deteriorating. We won’t be able to run intelligence tests on millions and millions of people, you can imagine!
We will find something or cause it, a pandemic that targets certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus that will affect the old or the fat, it doesn’t matter, the weak will succumb to it, the fearful and the stupid will believe it and ask to be treated.
We will have taken care to have planned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution.
The selection of idiots will thus be done on its own: they will go to the slaughterhouse on their own.”
