Chapter Chapter 2 in The Socially Responsible Organization, 2022, pp 9-13 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyzes the same set of arguments that were presented in Chap. 1 but from a very different perspective. Namely, we’re dealing with forces that lie much deeper in the human Psyche. They are fundamentally the products of Disturbed and Distorted Thinking. For instance, the assertion that “I and I alone know what’s best for me and my body” is the quintessence of Narcissism. For another, the contention that the Government has surreptitiously placed microchips in the vaccines so that it can track our every whereabouts and thoughts, and thereby control them, is a clear-cut case of outright Paranoia.
