I wrote a giant thing and then erased it- if you really want to know what's going on with normies, listen to jay dyer's multiple podcasts/youtube's breaking down empiricism. Listen to his debates, or his debate reviews. Really anything where he brings up David Hume will be helpful. The guy is literally doing god's work.
The reader's digest that I'll give- society is drowning in completely delusional philosophy since the enlightenment. Hume pointed this out- empiricism REFUTES ITSELF. Its an unworkable worldview, yet we've built our society around it. The ONLY result of society accepting this view is mass delusion. This is a key component of why we are in this mess now. Empiricism has no explanation for logic, morality, number theory, the "self", causation, on and on... Hume even said that this worldview would lead to solipsism, or another way of putting it, postmodernism. Our scientism obsession has led to us pretty much turning philosophy into Calvinball.
There's much more going on today than just this problem, but this science worship really was one of the first big steps the elites took to control what we think. Scientism is literal mind control. This was one of the elites' first sophisticated psyops. It probably won't surprise you when you look up the people who pushed these philosophies on us.
