It's possible to be born and grow up during historical periods in which distinctions between truth and error are deliberately rendered ambiguous or obscured (cognitive interference).
Promotion/inculcation of unjustified trust and compliance with illegitimate authority masked as legitimate authority (behavioral conditioning).
Malicious political actors impose cognitive blindness or impairment and conditioning for malicious purposes: demoralize (induce confusion and despair), weaken, render infertile.
The 1800s to now are such a period: mass media, "social communication," centralized scientific research funding & publishing; instantaneous worldwide distribution of false information; chronic immersion in false reality.
Four societal institutions for fact-finding: scientific research, journalism, courts, legislative hearings. All four distorted or blocked in disease causation arena.
It's possible to ask God for help to see truth more clearly, thwart conditioning, expose and dispel error, encourage others. He answers such prayers.
