We’re living through an epidemic of Loneliness. Healthy and Safe Touch doesn’t just help during lock downs during Corona. My friend Dawn Bennett – an expert in a technique called ‘tapping’ – shows us how touch can help with so many other things. Free your mind, and the rest will follow. Learn more in my latest ‘From The Bunker’ blog.
Certainly it feels like we’re living in a national delusion or we’re delirious. Pick One. Learn more in National-Delusion-Delirium-Pick-One-Bob Davis Podcast 933.
Even more I might even forgive you for invoking The Matrix as a metaphor!
Firstly I don’t even remember the thought process that lead to this question.
Secondly you can find the definitions for what Delusion is here, and for Delirium here.
Most importantly I think our country fits the bill for both right now.
For example a pandemic triggered economic suicide worldwide, people climbing the walls in isolation, protests morphing into rioting and violence. In addition, ridiculous comments, outrageous explanations and mass confusion.
Consequently I forgive the reader, listener and subscriber to bring up The Matrix. However I prefer Salvador Dali.
So, I’ll explain what I mean by a national delusion in National-Delusion-Delirium-Pick-One-Bob Davis Podcast 933.
Moreover I’ll provide several examples of the potential cause of our acutely disturbed state of mind.
For instance, the peculiar Algorithms of social media. Or the real possibility Covid19 infections are less symptomatic and producing dangerous psychological reactions. And finally rapidly proliferating propaganda and conspiracy theories everywhere you look.
And If these aren’t enough to tip the scales, add to that our collective worry about our financial futures.
In conclusion a question and reference to the potential for a major financial meltdown.
In short our ability to handle another major shock in this country is dependent on the clarity of our thinking. If we’re all delusional or delirious we’re in for a long hot summer.

Firstly the media is back to its old tricks. They are showing a shocking level of ignorance when it comes to political polls. Learn in Media-Distorts-Poll-Results-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 932.
Secondly we should be suspicious of a media with a penchant for predicting the future.
More importantly I have avoided partisan criticism of the president. In addition I have refused to engage in the same kind of misinformation when it comes to potential presidential candidates. Now you understand why.
Moreover I refuse to advocate for partisan issues or tell listeners and subscribers what to think.
Therefore I am starting my political coverage of presidential polling for 2020.
To clarify from time to time I will do some podcasts discussing recent polling on a state by state basis.
Truth is, the story lines being created now may or may not be the eventual result. I’ll explain why in Media-Distorts-Poll-Results-Again-Bob Davis Podcast 932.
Even more we choose our presidents through the electoral college. We do not vote directly for the office of president in the United States.This reality forces presidential campaigns to develop electoral strategies.
Finally citing national popularity polls, presidential job approval polls, or even national political preference is little more than a waste of time.
In conclusion, the 2020 presidential race at this time looks like another close contest. Unless that reality changes it’s going to come down to some key states.
Meanwhile polling data is not available for all the so called battleground states.
In short don’t believe everything you hear.
(Editor’s Note: I refer to both candidates running as ‘presidents’. Obviously I meant President Trump and former Vice President Biden. In addition at the time of recording of this podcast results of the Iowa US Senate Primary had not been released. Due to this, no polls were available on the race. The primary was held on June 2nd, 2020. I said no democrat had yet been selected in the Iowa US Senate Race, which includes Senator Joni Ernst as the republican incumbent. This was true at the time. Now Ernst has a democratic opponent. For the results go here.)
