Another good article. Perhaps all of the universe, including particles communicate through the Aether. But with humans, it seems to me many are controlled via the media and peer pressures to think as experts say instead of being individuals. This overrides any other signals.
Yes, I actually tend to lean in the direction that you're pointing out.
Perhaps the answer involves a bit of both.
I think about the Asch Conformity and Milgram Psychological experiments where people are easily influenced by the crowd, or an authority figure.
However some are not easily influenced. The question is what's different about the individuals that are able to resist an absurd order from an authority figure, or social pressure vs why others cannot resist those elements?
Maybe there's some sort of entanglement going on as well as the other elements of influence.
However, I also believe that Divine Providence works through human agency as well. In short, I believe we can step forward as activists to combat the "hive mind," or to simply cultivate an environment where minds are trained to think independently and with discernment in the way God intended.

Hey thank you Mike.

Thank you for your feedback.
Probably why there are so many biblical commands not to fear!
Amen to that Elizabeth.

I believe this is our calling. Godspeed.
