Agree, but what is cause and what is effect here?

I believe in the law of attraction, I know we co-create our realities, I know we, as a collective, can effect our environments profoundly, especially through our unconscious thought.

As an example, in the late 90's there where raging wild fires tearing through the south east US.

A late night AM radio broadcaster named Art Bell wanted to try a collective thought experiment. He told his audience of 1 million plus listeners to focus on rain and intent for rain to put out those fires.

Out of nowhere a storm not only put out the fires but caused mass flooding. After that Art repeatedly said he would not try anything like that on the air again.

For arguments sake, let's say that was cause and effect.

What would a decades long campaign like Stranger Danger do to the subconscious minds of the kids who would then grow up to be parents?

The campaign was fear based programming, sure it made you fearful for your kids but it also subtly told us as adults (subliminally) to not talk to strangers, or to accept generosity, it taught us to recoil from the most gracious gifts humanity has to offer and made us doubters suspicious and fearful.
