      So let us have awareness campaigns, and make them unassailable by being perfectly honest - instead of furthering attempted manipulation ("mesmerizing people for persuasiveness through innocuous documentaries about the wonderful") as if it were aproblematic behaviour, and as if normal actually-adults would not be consequently exposed to dubious campaigns, with dubious results. I do not know about many places around the world, but in some areas it is normally told to children in primary school that "well, before these milestones you had an important risk of measles or poliomyelitis" - just as part of the history of science and achievements, primary school level. Which again suggests that treating people like adults - even very "underage" - remains an important recipe to obtain, in the end, Adults.

As a conspiracy theorist myself, I think my idiot brethren might be able to open their minds a bit and be more reasonable for a change under those circumstances. Thoughts?
