[DK GreenRoots] The Mindnapped and the Evil Rays of Silence


Beware of the stations where the facts are based on lies
Some of them are run by aliens in disguise
They sneak up behind you and put your brain in a box
You can recognize the victims, because they're watching Fox

- Nursery rhyme

Certain people can stop a good conversation, especially if it involves reality-based topics like climate change, at a range of 10 yards or even more. They do this by sending out evil rays of silence that force people to talk about football, or a TV show, or nothing at all. For instance, your Fox-watching Uncle Bob, shown to the right.

This harms progressive causes that grow and thrive on thoughtful conversation. To win, the ranks of the mindnapped don't need to prevail in a discussion - they just need to destroy it.

Fortunately, the evil rays of silence can be mitigated and sometimes defeated. The latest research from scientists shows us how.
