Part 2/14:

Personal Encounters and Changing Perspectives

Throughout the conversation, there’s a sense of personal evolution. The speaker recalls a period when their worldview was different—more trusting or perhaps less critical of established systems. An early interaction on social media with another individual (possibly a public figure or commentator) led to a realization that the world is not as it appears. The speaker describes how, during the initial COVID-19 restrictions, they believed the measures were sensible but later discovered troubling truths, particularly around vaccine efficacy and government transparency.
