You touched on too many subjects a reply is hard. But for the most part I agree! It's the magical belief lottery, where we think we somehow have everything perfect, we won and everyone else is wrong. And like you say, the negative impacts of confirmation bias. We get blinders to things outside our truths, and it stunts our growth in certain direction. I agree that we have had a lot of progress, and all of these institutions have been going on in one form or another, they are a human construct. So medicine has always been around, all these years of refinement has made it a different machine with different problems. I also can't turn a blind eye though, there is corruption. Im fine with a new world order as long as it's on everyone's terms for the betterment of everyone..I'm not willing to disregard all conspiracies but I have let go of most! Thanks for sharing, well put together set of broad thoughts. Sorry for the sprawling response!
