I watched a farewell video of a very far left person dying of cancer. She didn't take his doctors medicine but opted for herbal remedies. I don't know if it was because he was anti-pharma, didn't think Cancer was real, or didn't get a chance as this was earlier in our treatment options for cancer. It was a recording made from a hospital bed and uploaded to Facebook. As he was saying her goodbyes she said something like "...and tell Braenda (daughter), I love him, not to trust anyone and no one will ever help you in life".

I realized that certain people indoctrinate their children, and this is the correct usage of the word, with a negative outlook on life. They ignore the altruistic nature of humanity for a distance based trust system. Assuming the son takes this message to heart he'll likely experience more problems because of his mistrust and when he examines his situation in life confirmation bias will prevent any self reflection. I don't understand why you reduce us to "scared and vigilant" and I wonder if that is a self fulfilling state.
