Care to expound on this, or will you leave it vague and hollow, as it is? What, specifically, constitutes "cognitive dissonance" in my prior commentary?
Individuals that, not too long ago, scoffed at the mere notion of questioning -- for example -- mask effectiveness or mRNA product efficacy, can readily type "cognitive dissonance" without irony. Indeed, those that questioned such things were called "anti-science"!
Still, to this day, the dwindling count of individuals that refuse to relinquish their firm grasp of covid-related hysteria/cult-like fervor continue to refer to those with VALID/SOUND reservations as "anti-science". The delusions die hard for many, as exemplified these last few years, on a number of topics. [Climate "Alarm" another, among others].
Consider that certain 'truths' any of you continue to hold as "infallible" may not be as firm as assumed. These last few years alone should serve as BRIGHT, SHINY exemplars of this. But given that many now operate in SHEER DENIAL that they participated or were complicit in BLATANT AFFRONTS to Human Rights, it is no surprise that many continue to refuse to assess information soberly, or fearlessly.
For all these reasons and many others, I continue to marvel at the self-assuredness (or unwavering support of increasingly questionable dominant narratives) on display by many humans, here and elsewhere.It's a powerful drug.
Anyway, re-directing to the topic of this thread:
With respect to humans landing on the moon, or whatever it is that is being promoted at the moment about human space travel: to be clear, neither I nor any other 'normie' without the ability to reach the outer limits of Earth's orbit can ever know
for certain the extent which these current and historical narratives are either partially or fully fabricated.
Best we can do is operate on
probabilities.And as I stated above, and at various points over the last few years (along with a number of others): with each passing year the
probability increases that we
never went to the Moon, at least as advertised to the masses.
These notions Re: "spending" and/or "budgets" are becoming increasingly unsustainable as viable explanations/justifications for the [stated] FACT humans haven't traveled beyond low-earth orbit for well over 50yrs now (or NEVER, to those that subscribe to the notion we never landed on the Moon).
Keep hope alive, however -- whatever helps you sleep at night.
As of January 2024, humans have not traveled beyond low Earth orbit since the Apollo 17 lunar mission in December 1972.
