Yes-—Normalcy Bias...which is natural in man. But this only becomes really destructive when there is no Free Debate— because Truth is being stifled and people remain ignorant—uneducated in schools. They can not be rational and use simple common sense.

Schools became indoctrination centers in the 30’s thanks to Dewey—the Fabian Socialist.

Anyone who thinks Big Pharma cares about your babies-—are seriously ignorant of history—and how power corrupts. They care as much about the health of your baby as Goebbels did. The elite and powerful actually want to depopulate the earth—and they have stated it many times.

Sickly kids are directly correlated with the introduction of more vaccines for kids. I never heard of Autism in the 70’s-—and as soon as vaccines were upped to obscene levels and for vulnerable infants (and filled with mercury), funny thing happened-—an epidemic occurred. A word unknown—Autism— became as common as Apple Pie in the 80’s. Hmmmmm. Common sense, people???? What other change was there-—?????? NOTHING but vaccines at that time. With the increase in vaccines-—wow—increase in Autism. THERE IS NO MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN——look it is the parent’s defective genes!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha—that is what they said about dyslexia when it became epidemic in schools-—after they took out phonics. It is the parent’s genetic fault!!!!!!!!! Can’t be the socialist indoctrination factories that are intentionally destroying children’s thinking process with cognitive dissonance (ex-KGB Yuri B.)

It really makes me mad, how people have no common sense and trust the big Crony Capitalist corporations who control trillions and all research and publications. Same evil people as the Bilderbergers who want people in sardine cans off of their playground. Same Marxists who push Agenda 21 and Global Warming to destroy our economy so we become slaves.

Truth is not allowed anymore-—it is supplanted by Political Correctness and Hate Speech—(from Mao philosophy to force one way of thought).

Truth has a way at making sense if it is allowed to surface. Right now, we have their totalitarian system Alinsky-attacking EVERYONE—who even whispers the Truth that vaccines just MAY be the problem. Vaccines are proven to cause all sorts of neurological problems-—exactly what Autism is.

Most of our Foundations and universities and schools are totally controlled by Marxists—and, trust me, they LIE. AND they want billions of people killed and the rest as slaves for the few elites. It is the trusting Christians who believe their cr*p because only good people trust others. Quit trusting Marxists. You NEVER CAN!!!!! Wake up!!!! Get your kids out of the brainwashing Marxist schools and homeschool!

24 hour kids tv and videotapes on demand.
Moms working and putting kids in daycare from an early age where the tv played constantly then moving them to homes where mom and dad are so tired the kids watch tv to keep them amused.

Even at the YMCA, where I put my kids for an hour to work out, the tv blared with high pitched sounds and constant changing of pictures. Understanding the the model is Sesame Street that shoots for a change on the screen every minute and a half, that’s an awful lot of input to synapses that are developing faster than at any other time in a human life.

The brain is a funny thing.

It’s not “Big Pharma”. It’s the government that demands so much income from a family that two people have to work.

While I suppose the Normalcy Bias is “natural” in man, it certainly doesn't appear to be much of a positive or self-preserving instinct. And I'm not so sure that Free Debate and Truth is ever an effective counter -- look at all of the truth and evidence that surrounds us now, and observe how much of it is constantly shunted aside (by the operation of the Normalcy Bias) with the constant cries of “this is the U.S., that'll never happen here...” and “what kind of tin-foil hatter are you, the gubmint and/or doctors and/or large corporations would never do that...” It seems to me that the Normalcy Bias is closely related to some sort of fear mechanism that prevents people from coming to grips with truth, in particular, truths that make them extremely uncomfortable. It also seems that the older a person is (and hence the number of decades of being brainwashed mount up), the harder it is for many to accept the fact that many fundamental “truths” we have been led to believe, are in fact complete lies and distortions. While I recognize that my personal experiences are anecdotal, most of my contemporaries (who are in their 50's and 60's) are far less willing to break free of the Normalcy Bias clutches than are younger folk in their 20's and 30's.

As far as public education goes I completely agree; however, it didn't start with Dewey, its evil roots were established long before him:

“In 1852 when the state of Massachusetts pioneered the first program of public education in America, it decided to borrow as its model the Prussian educational system, the then reigning paradigm of educational discipline and efficiency. The designers of the Prussian system did not share Condorcet's concern with teaching children to think for themselves. The German philosopher Johann Gottlieb Fichte, an enthusiastic supporter of the Jacobins during the French Revolution, had been one of the spiritual architects of the Prussian system. Fichte summed up his philosophy of public education by saying: 'If you want to influence [the pupil] at all, you must do more than merely talk to him; you must fashion him, and fashion him in such a way that he simply cannot will otherwise than what you wish him to will. ... The new education must produce this stable and unhesitating will according to a sure and infallible rule.' This method of teaching no doubt produces the kind of orderly discipline necessary for mass education to work at all, and yet it is also the doctrine of education embraced by all subsequent forms of totalitarian government and eerily prophetic of George Orwell's Newspeak.”
-- Lee Harris, The Next American Civil War, The Populist Revolt against the Liberal Elite

And while I understand (and agree that you are correct!) the rest of your post, there are countless numbers of “well-educated and informed Conservatives” that will tell us that none of it is true (or could never be true) because the Normalcy Bias (with its attendant emotional anchors) tells them so!
