yes. i made the "joke" to an old friend that if CNN told you experts say the sky is yellow and the sun is blue, don't look up just trust the experts, they'd simply believe them w/out question, and soon be considering the "sky-lookers" to be dangerous spreaders of mis/disinfo who need to be segregated from society. it went on with me saying "just look up dude! the sky is right above you...just look for yourself!" and him mocking me in his best Alex Jones impression "dooo yer owwwn reeeesearch derp derp derp". it feels hopeless.
