PERSPECTIVE
…the faculty of seeing all the relevant data in a meaningful relationship.

A necessary and important read: Want a concise history of our planet, and the evolution of humans? Indoctrination and propaganda, coupled with a uniformed public that lacks the quality of independent critical thinking, have given politicians, world leaders, and big business the key to corruption and control over our lives. The author gives us a plausible theory on how and why humans have been killing each other since the beginning of our evolutionary history. Civil wars, world wars, ethnic cleansing, and domestic violence are just a few of the topics in the chapter “The Dark Side of Human Behavior”. Part two is a “rambling” of whatever seems to come to the author’s mind.
Drawing on his numerous degrees in the sciences, Perspective author Nathan Shasho offers a new perspective on the nature and history of humans. Through lenses as diverse as anthropology, chemistry, neuropsychology, astronomy, geology, and physics, readers delve into the evolution of the universe, Earth, and humans. This includes humanity’s “dark side” of conflict, war, genocide, massacres, slavery, and human trafficking. Rather than leaving readers grasping at the pieces, Shasho then puts all this history into perspective and formulates a way of making sense of it all. He offers a light along the path to critical thinking. Appropriate for readers as young as seniors in high school, Perspective makes a useful complement to high school and college curricula as well as an interesting piece for adults seeking a way out of propaganda and indoctrination.

If the pharmaceutical industry is not to blame, then where do we look? It would not be in their own best interests to address the safety or effectiveness of any of their products beyond what is required by law and regulation or to spend any money beyond the inescapable costs of doing business. We could take a clue from Nathan Shasho, who wrote the history book Perspective: Making Sense of it All: “Indoctrination and propaganda, coupled with an uninformed public, are powerful tools that have been used throughout history by those who would make us their pawns. Critical thinking, along with a well-informed public, is the only way to combat this indoctrination.
Shasho quotes Albert Einstein: “Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.” In reality, if I’m pointing one finger of blame at the pharmaceutical industry, I have to be pointing three others back at myself. If I choose to accept their brilliantly simple and oft repeated ‘safe and effective’ slogan and I am content to skim the news for information about vaccines without looking any further, my consent cannot be very informed. In this scenario, I consent by default, out of a misguided trust, a dangerous respect for authority and complacency born out of comfort. Having given our uninformed consent to vaccines for so long puts us in a bad position to object to vaccines as they become increasingly numerous and legally mandatory. The less we know, the less we know.
