More than half of people aged between 13 and 27 would prefer the UK to be an authoritarian dictatorship.
The way we evolved predisposes us to place trust in those who often deserve it least in a sense, hardwiring us to support the most machiavellian among us.
But it’s what we do in the face of that knowledge that matters.
Where we see brute power combined with ignorance, we can throw our support behind knowledge, peaceful protest and education.
And finally, when reigns of terror end and eventually, they always do it is critical to learn and absorb the lessons.
That way, we inoculate ourselves afresh against our natural tendency to trust the untrustworthy.
