 I thought most people were capable of reasoning and critical thinking. I thought if I had a debate with someone and my arguments would counter theirs, They would change their minds. 

Why did I think that? This is how  I am myself. I can change my mind on things when proven wrong. 

With the Covid hysteria, I realise that most people were completely brainless and are like walking zombies. They just follow what authority (media, professors, politicians, health 'experts') tell them to. 

Now I see people as NPCs until proven otherwise. 

I also believe that there are 2 human races : 

1 Remnant critical thinkers intellectually honest

2 NPCs brainless zombies

Where are not the same. We are not the same race
