Dear Myriam--

This is a sort of spin on the famous Pareto Principle (80-20 rule), whereby 80% of all outcomes are derived from 20% of causes. In this case, there will always be about 20% of the people who simply will never change their opinions, no matter the evidence to the contrary.

The reasons for this might include stupidity, pride, the Stockholm Syndrome, or whatever. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Another factor is simple denialism, whereby deep down they KNOW the conclusion, but can't bring themselves to accept it. i.e. the Establishment is pure evil.

Well said. Denialism seems to be a key factor.

I agree, Michael. It's still heartbreaking when these people are friends and family!

We keep hoping for people to wake up. How can they be not connecting dots or reasoning? Sometimes I wonder if I will wake up to find all THIS was a dream.....a long nightmare the past few years. Would I recall it? Just meandering thoughts here. It is just so absurd as you said, Myriam.

Kelly, I have had the same exact thought! It feels so surreal! There is going to be much more carnage in the near future. People need to take a hard look at what they are refusing to see.

I forgot to unschedule this post for a later date. I had several drafts I had not finished. Oh well.

Sure is surreal. For myself, nothing has shown me more than all this, how so differently people thought I knew interpret things! It's like those pictures that you can look at and see one thing when someone else sees something else. Not sure that is the best example here. Or those magic pictures where an image appears when you look deep into the picture. I have loads of those books from years ago and realized once you know how to look into/through the picture, the images are pretty easy to see.

Life experiences? Poor detail awareness? Denial? Frustrating!

By the way, your posted draft was just fine as is. :)

@Myrium, Do you practice in Florida? I’m looking for a functional/nutritional counselor.

Thank you! I haven't put out a newsletter recently because Mail Chimp, who I use for email campaigns, was censoring anyone speaking out against the agenda.

I need to set up with a new email campaign server. If you'd like a complimentary discovery session, you can send me an email through my website or to myriam@loveyourbodytowellness.com

Wondering if you can publish your newsletter via SubStack? I let my website go and moved here to publish. Not sure how it handles your email list...

I’m in the process of returning to SW Florida from my summer space in southern Maine, but I’ll be in touch later in the month.

Lead by example and live the truth you know deep inside. It is contagious.

Sadly, the mass murderers have managed to damage both body and mind:
