A barrier to thinking critically that is known to few people but known to me is for a “complex” physical system to be mistaken for a “non-complex” physical system in the construction of a model of this physical system. A consequence from this mistake is for the Principles of Reasoning called “entropy minimax” to be falsified by the argument made by this model, where its “entropy” is the missing information in an inference to the outcome of a conditional event of the future for the physical system being modelled for a deductive conclusion to be reached by this inference, per event.

In the scientific research that he has conducted in the historical record, The statistician and clinical psychologist Mattias Desmet has discovered that for this mistake to be made a a large group of the citizens of a given country is a precursor to totalitarian rule over the people of this country. Desmet describes this research in the book that is titled “The Psychology of Totalitarianism”

I agree and agree. She’ll be put in and I hope I’m wrong.

But after seeing the brazen voting “irregularities” from 2020, coupled with many states changing the elections laws which will just enhance the “irregularities” witnessed last time, I think it’s a very probable outcome. I still remember some of the data analyses you did post 2020 election and I believe nothing was done to address those issues.
