Sobre este áudio
Ava is a small girl on a big island. After a storm comes, the adults on the island go a little crazy. They will do whatever they can think of to try to keep the storm from coming back and harming them again. But the things they want to try don't seem to make a lot of sense to Ava or really even work at all ... yet people disregard what's in front of them and double down on their behavior rather than begin to think for themselves. Ava, with the innocence of a child, is the only one who sees the craziness for what it is and asks basic questions. But will anyone listen to her?
Taking a symbolic page or two from 'The Emperor's New Clothes', this modern-day story is a great lesson for any parent eager to help explain to their children that groupthink, paranoia, and societal madness can often be contagious—worse than any disease!
The parallels to today's society are far too clear: e.g. despite mountains of scientific evidence, outdated and silly ideas like mask mandates (even in 2022) still grip well-meaning people and political leaders alike into thinking they can beat back nature with a piece of cloth. All too often humanity has shown that fear and a lack of clear-headed understanding makes scared people believe and do wild things. Can a genuine questioning of what we're blindly doing and/or a return to the scientific method eventually convince those making decisions that thinking should precede aimless doing?
