Old folks see culture change

> Why do we fear being lied to? Because we don’t like others manipulating our beliefs. But our fear of being misled by false news pales by comparison to our fear of suffering total “mind-control”.

Funny thing is that because we fear being lied to, we pretend otherwise when we ARE being lied to.

Philosophy tries to find principles that transcend cultural norms and values. Bernard Russel was born and raised with values of the Victorian era and he would feel OK with current values.

The cultural change in the last 20 years has been wild, but if you had a humanistic universal ethics point of view, instead of cultural norms you were raised with, nothing has fundamentally changed.
