Follow this message and find out where it goes. The words are: “You are being poisoned.  Mass death is accelerating from putting carbon in the atmosphere.  You can no longer live your life as planned.” We follow this message as it enters the conscious life of billions of people.  It goes into the eyes and ears and brain several times a day.  Whether the message is read or heard or seen on the screen, the warning is understood. But then a curious thing happens. The words cohere in the mind, but are deleted before any action takes place. Where did the message go?  Something happens between the information and the action, between the recognition of danger and the fight or flight.  Repeatedly, we are paralyzed. Why?
