Dr Robert Malone has written an interesting piece of philosophy relevant to the totalitarianism, deception and lies that came to dominate the political scene since 2020. He distinguishes between “existential shock,” and “ontological shock,” with reference to the lies and deception of the Covid plandemic. In existential shock, the individual comes to question that which they previously believed to be true, or to exist, on some particular aspect of a phenomenon. However ontological shock is an even deeper form of shock, involving questioning “previously held assumptions relating to trust, teaching, and learned models of physical reality and history - interpretation of the tide of events which flow through our lives and provide key event interpretations which we rely upon to assemble our internal models of what is true and what is false.” This is closely related to existential shock but seems to involve a deeper level of scepticism abut what is real and unreal. Thus, one could have an existential shock about the effectiveness of the Covid vaxxes, seeing these vaxxes as flawed or limited. But, one could be pushed further through ontological shock, to question the whole vaccine paradigm itself, and the soundness of conventional medicine.
