I have noticed that as a whole, far less people rely on their intuition and instincts than they used to. Many of them in particular have reflexively appealed to authority, mainly because they are conditioned to accept so-called experts at their word and whatever narratives are propagated through media and social pressures, one often following from the other, in either direction. They often believe that by doing this, they are contributing to some sort of “greater good” or have “common sense” or are displaying “basic human decency”. In fact, what they follow has little to nothing to do with the above.
