Have you ever woken up from a fever dream and wondered how any of it made sense?

What if societies experience something similar?

Throughout history, entire cultures have embraced ideas, movements, and assumptions that felt unquestionably true in the moment—only to look back years later and wonder what happened.

In this episode of LifeBlood, George explores social contagion, conformity, mass movements, common sense, human nature, and the stubborn reality that eventually pushes back against every ideology.

This isn't about left versus right.

It's about the timeless human tendency to confuse social approval with truth—and the importance of maintaining discernment when everyone around us seems certain.

Because reality is undefeated.

And eventually, the fever dream ends.
