Media and Politics weaponized science & ...

Lucas Skrobot
About this episode

Rona Started out unifying the globe and political parties around, Thomas Aquinas would say everyone was seeking to “Preserving Life, and Intending the Good”. . . but it wasn’t long before the “SCIENCE” wasn’t settled, and conflicting world views began to collide on a magnitude equal (or greater than) the magnitude of the problem the Globe was, and is, facing. The course of action that was at first “common sense” was vilified in the media and the one world splinted once again into warring faction all arguing their facts, science, and common sense. . . 


We break down how what could have been a unifying fight turned into even greater political and social fracturing. A few driving factors was:

1) Politicizing Data and Science
2) Media fear mongering
3) Quest for power and control

We break down how we can begin to weigh the difference of world views and pull back into a harmonious balance the polarized conversations and arguments through breakdown worldview using Aquinas' Four Laws to understand where we SHOULD have nuance in public policy, and where we shouldn't . . . helping those who stand for rugged individualism see how those pushing for centralized control are intending the good. While helping those who support centralized control understand the trade off and arguments being made for individuals taking their own risk assessment.
