i can always move it back to iodine. Iodine enhances critical thinking and steadies the nerves. it also gives one a measure of self control. i dont get nearly as anxious as my messages make others feel sometimes.
i do vacillate, however, between seeing brainwashed folks as unwitting victims and willing participants in their own imprisonment. there is a certain comfort in going with the herd. until, of course, you become the animal who can no longer get up and join the rest while all the others can do is look and walk away to the field to graze.
and yes, when the herd gets spooked it can only stampede in panic. that is a bit frightening. better if they have time to ruminate on it.
