It seems that 1000’s of people are aggravating over ‘covert/secret’ motives of a nameless ‘Them or They’ that are trying to totally control ‘everyone else’.
On a serious note, the issue you are raising is truth. What is truth? We have multiple generations that have been told truth is relative.
How do you test the truth? A touch stone https://www.thefreedictionary.com/touchstone was used in the past. Right now people test the truth with their own thinking which changes from day to day. The have no touchstone to test the truth.
Science used to be directed at discovering truth, and more than that, the golden target was the universal truth that explained everything. Now science does not want to look at systems and see how their small area fits in with other systems.
Philosophy has been divorced from science.
For those of a philosophy bent here is something worthy of thought:
Joh_18:37 Pilate said, “So You are a king?” Jesus responded, “You say I am a king. Actually, I was born and came into the world to testify to the truth. All who love the truth recognize that what I say is true.”
