I'm going to put some thoughts I've developed on this subject in some posts I wrote 3 months ago.
We are in a time of total delusion about collective power.
People are still in the denial phase because people they are still based on acephalous beliefs in populist, demagogic, pseudo redeemer and savior political speech.
This took us to the death of all ideologies and the rise of extremist new ideologies that are winning elections all over the world with the most recent examples of Trump, Le Pen, Neocons and others.
This kind of (non-)ethics is the sign of the times, with the media castrating and mystifying public opinion, and gives us fake news in the interest of a few, generating a total crisis in public trust.

They are oriented and in conformity with the right wing and fascist extremists full of hate, racism, supported by oligarchic business interests, to justify their actions in manufacturing guns and wars all over Africa and Asia, and that can lead in the future to wars even in Europe (already happening with the migrants).
The only "science" that can help people is awareness and unconformity, and above all, get their butt off the sofa and detox from too much time glued to the TV screen of a passive opiate and mesmerizing media.

Since my youth, I remember that have been seeing nothing but fake news and I'm surprised people never saw it.
The Big Brother is not watching people, he already inhabits inside their heads in the form of fear.
Passive Media puts you drowning in a sea of Information, instead of giving a constructive Education, that should be the first goal and maybe it was in the early days.
