This
post summarises more key psychological issues which have serious
negative consequences for modern societies, and then discusses the
implications for how we deal with these issues in future. In particular,
it emphasises the need to question everything.
While
the disease dominating the world is vanishingly unlikely to kill anyone
under 25, there is a parallel epidemic of anxiety and depression
crushing its way through young minds. The Royal College of Psychiatrists
is warning that the psychological damage caused by the last 12 months
could last for years.

“Influence”,
the classic book on persuasion, explains the psychology of why people
say “yes” – and how to apply these understandings. Dr. Robert Cialdini
is the seminal expert in the rapidly expanding field of influence and
persuasion.

South
Africa is halting its rollout of the AstraZeneca-University of Oxford
Covid-19 vaccine, the country’s minister of health said Sunday,
following a new analysis that suggests the shot “provides minimal
protection” against mild disease caused by the new coronavirus variant
circulating in South Africa.

In
our Open Letter of 23 November 2020, addressed to the MHRA, JCVI and
Matt Hancock[i], we outlined our concerns of potential public health
risks from a mass roll-out of the Covid-19 vaccines because of only
limited short-term safety data and no long-term safety data. In this
letter we draw to your attention the mounting evidence that the public
health risks we identified may be materialising.

Colonized
and controlled Ukraine is a de facto US-installed Neo-nazi dictatorship
in Europe’s heartland — bordering Russia and six other
countries. Obama/Biden bear full responsibility for replacing democracy
in 2014 with iron-fisted governance over the rule of law.

The
ghosts of dictators “Papa Doc” and “Baby Doc” Duvalier still haunt
Haiti. Canada seems willing to support a return of their methods in the
Caribbean nation.

The
picture started to be formed in Biden’s first 48 hours but now it is
crystal clear: The Biden Administration intends to pick up exactly where
the Obama/Biden Administration left off in 2016 with an aggressive
assertion of U.S. military power to offset its declining global
economic, political, and moral position.

As
economists, we share a general concern when economic issues are widely
misunderstood in political debates that can determine policy, sometimes
with lasting consequences. This appears to be a problem in Ecuador at
the moment, in the heat of an election campaign.

The
war on Libya and Africa began 10 years ago on Feb. 15, 2011. Nine
months later, the most prosperous country in Africa was devastated,
masses of Libyans were killed, the Libyan leader Muammar Gadafi was
brutally assassinated while US Secretary of State chortled “We came, we
saw, he died.“
