I think that all but few have the cognitive flexibility to realize that there must have been something in that Kool-Aid they drank…. I see no other reason for this concept being out of their grasp. And people in my circle have doctoral level degrees, self made millionaires, fortune 100 C Suite, etc. None are immune…
I have used the “has it become more expensive or tricky to make a loaf of bread? A shovel? Etc. when I pose it like that, I have sometimes seen a flicker behind their eyes, but so often it is doused by the Kool-Aid.
My elementary school aged son is being brought up, Kool-Aid free, and we have thousands of kids in LATAM that are being brought up in this truth. I pray that it changes this dynamic!
