why are Jamaicans so easy to accept baseless conspiracy theories and hold them so close without really evaluating what is really going on. and seek to understand things without relaying on emotive feelings. i find that as a country we are failing in reasoning ability and are afraid to realize that or preconceived ideas about several issues my not be accurate and if we actually spend time to try understand something we wont feel so vulnerable when faced with new challenges, experiences or new concepts. its time to separate fact from fiction. Orson Welles broadcast in 1983 of war of the worlds and the populations reaction is similar to Jamaicans initial reaction to many issues. https://youtube/watch?v=Xs0K4ApWl4g it is time for a bit of introspection by many of us and if we dont understand something try to seek information before believing everything our neighbor tells us which often is misinformation case and point a news bulletin government to provide free housing for sugar planters cousin tom in Kingston hears this calls cousin David who grows sugar on his small farm and tells him that the government is giving him free house. while you many of you will laugh at Toms misunderstanding some of you will still not get it or may think it is far fetch well if you doubt this listen in to the daily radio call in programmes and you will get an example and this is not limited to the rural or uneducated some of our young educated ( really they are regurgitate-rs of information) would make similar mistakes maybe not with sugar but with other more serious national,social or health issues and dont even realize or my realize but refuse to get more information because they hate the government or the hate that thing or they were told so by their church sister or whomever on the radio without trying to understand for themselves. i want someone to prove to me chick v is spread in the air.
