Leid Stories--For Our Survival, We Must Work with What We Have and Trust In What We Know--09.25.18

Summary: More and more, the evidence confronts us but we refuse to pay attention to it. Instead, we convince ourselves that the massive social,  political and economic aberrations we are witnessing not only are "normal," but in fact are signs of systems adjusting to the push and pull of progress and growth.  Nonsense. There are massive shifts occurring all over the world and they have little to do with progress and growth for the masses of people. Leid Stories looks at how, especially during election season, false messages are used to galvanize various segments of voters. But we should be alert to false narratives and reject them, and instead see to our collective survival, working with what we have and trusting in what we know.
