When someone completely shuts their mind off and metaphorically (or literally) just sticks to their catch phrases and slogans, ignoring all facts and evidence, nothing can be done. It makes discussion impossible. Like a child with fingers in their ears saying LA LA LA. This clip

A completely separate observation but tangentially relevant: Do you notice how in any escalated situation, people immediately pull out their phones and being recording. No matter if they're in the right or wrong, the phones come out, the recording happens. It's the modern day shield of battle. The belief that the recording is a forcefield. Now with that logic, people really believe that wearable glasses/optic technology won't be used and recorded 24/7? The upcoming Apple glasses, or Meta glasses, or future contact lenses, or any advancement of technology won't be recording 24/7? Of course it will. The entire world will become (it is but will continue to further become) a complete 24/7 360 degree view panopticon of everything happening on Earth. Every human being, every pair of eyes, is a camera, a node, that will be recording at all times, accessible by your governments/law enforcement, etc. And you will be none the wiser, and even the wiser will have no choice, it will be as accepted as the air you breathe in time. Good? Who knows. Probably not. Inevitable? Yes. No amount of burying your head in the sand reduces the outcome of this future. We merge into technology. It merges into us. We've invited it in.
