The Factory of Doubts

What is it?

Does that pollute the air? Is it toxic? Is it safe? Does that contaminate our water? Is climate change man made?

Many other are the questions people ask about environmental issues.

Most people are now undecided. Even when confronted with real proof, remain DOUBTFUL and somehow confused.
Where is the truth?

Mainstream news do not cover the illnesses that people report every day caused by the fossil fuel industry contamination, do not cover the damages on our Nature, do not show any of this.

The mega corporations are poisoning our World and no one holds them accountable.
They insist on emitting CO2 levels above the safety net, and it's a money machine we almost can't stop. They are almighty, and the billions they spend on propaganda only further their agenda making it harder for people to know the truth.

Also, most people with a regular degree of knowledge find themselves not qualified to argue on a technical, scientific level especially if delved into details about issues like climate change or chemical elements like aspartame, fluoride etc.
They turn into insecure, confused human beings.

The FACTORY OF DOUBTS was born, sponsored by the powerful few on top of the economy and politic. It is causing a stall of the mass or a paralysis of the self thinking process in people.

When in doubt if to go left or right, up or down, you stall your self as you keep thinking what to do. Ultimately you will never follow a direction, will not bring a difference in your life and this world.

The factory of doubts is not aimed at convincing you of the opposite of what is true but clearly aimed at installing doubts.

How do we defeat this act of terrorism against our minds, our sanity and common sense?
More importantly, how do you know who's lying?

Shall we all get a PhD and start arguing about technicalities to find out the truth?

Shall we get trapped on a ping-pong argument with no end in sight?
"Myth debunked!" Then: Debunking the "Myth debunked!" and so on?

We need to move forward and actually change things for the safety of the people and the planet but how?
We need to drop the scientific, religious arguments which have no end in sight especially because power and a flawed political system stand in the way of the truth.

We can control the bad guys with rationalism, common sense and logic.

If something makes sense to you, believe in it and go for it. The inner voice inside all of us works, at least for the majority, and all we have to do is listen to it!

Next time you feel overwhelmed by different voices, ask your self these simple and logical questions:

Would you drink water that contains pesticide, pharmaceuticals, rocket fuel etc?

Would you eat food that contains unknown chemicals and artificial elements?

Shall we continue to breathe millions of pounds of toxic gases released into the air by exhaust car pipes, oil factories etc?

Shall we continue to support this contamination?

The answer to all these questions above is what makes more sense to you.

Then, when it comes to climate change, do you need to know if it is man induced or just a natural cycle to take a stand?

"Yes", someone might say, but the answer to that is gone because doubt was produced, and you can kiss it goodbye as sad as it sounds.

In the worst case scenario, supposing environmentalists are wrong and the fossil fuel industry is right, we will have reduced CO2 levels. We will also have reduced poisoning of our water, food that comes from coal mining, oil and gas drilling.

However, if the fossil fuel industry is wrong and we, the environmentalists are right, will be facing disaster, no slow downs, no redemption chances will be left.

Now, listen to that inner voice I talked about before and what makes more sense?

Do we need to keep on arguing until it's going to be too late?

Climate change exists independently from who or what is inducing it, and its damages are real!

Why aren't we doing anything about it? Why aren't we trying to find a solution?
The solution to climate change is actually relatively independent from the cause.

We can all agree that with reforestation and by stopping deforestation, climate will be less out of balance; Instead, we continue with our destructive andazzo.

Finally, what are you going to decide?

Will you keep on taking chances by eating and drinking contaminants in our food and water? Gamble with our health and the future of our children?

Shall we focus on the solution or keep up the argument? Will you choose the worst-case scenario where we got nothing to lose or the other where we will face doom?


By all means listen to your self, ignore influencing external factors that to a degree or another have an agenda.
It certainly isn’t about putting people before profits.
We have seen this happening for a little more than a century since a political system allowed corporatism, monopoly, exploitation or the "get rich at the expense of others" scheme to proliferate among us.

    • I think it's painfully clear that we're backing ourselves into a corner. Anyone that continues to deny that human existence has reached a sickening, bloated, toxified, and... just basically unsustainable point... is in complete denial.

      The fish are dying, the air quality is going down, our economic systems based on empirical, hierarchical control are choking culture and efficiency... We're eating the wrong foods and spreading genetic disorder through the gene pool, we're greedy, violent... etc... the list goes on. What we've created is spinning out of control, and it's incredibly hard to course correct because it's in direct opposition to everything we have worked to create.

      Again. To deny that we are failing at every turn, is straight up blind. We need to admit that we're blowing it. That's step one in A.A. when fighting addiction... and that's what we're doing. We're fighting addiction to this undeveloped form of consciousness, akin to an adult that never wants to leave childhood for fear of responsibility.

      out of control spam, getting worse, not better
      can't believe you are incapable of controlling this
      Obviously, we can all see WHEN it is occurring,

    • There's a lot to be said about this article, but I think I'll just throw down a quote that sums up how I feel.

      "Education is the path from cocky ignorance to miserable uncertainty." -Mark Twain

    • The best thing to do is live as green as one can and to support those that work for a greener environment. Vote out those that don't. We didn't screw things up over night and we won't fix it over night either.

    • Before we even get a change to help the environment we must tackle the question of who is standing in our way... libertarians, conservatives, and fascists. Until we take action against them Earth will die a slow death.

      I think it's important to emphasize the process of the "free thinker", until then, doubts will pervade our society and like said before, no directions will ever be taken.
      It's one of the first psychological steps to take if we want to eradicate exploitation.
