Invisible enemies

MANKIND does not like the unknown - we love routine and familiarity.
And perhaps that is why, perversely, the horror genre and psychological thrillers are so appealing to many. In the reality created by the institutions of media and academia, there are many unknown, unseen threats that we are constantly reminded of.

In addition to the recently manufactured, mass hysteria-inducing, alleged pandemic, there are other unseen, invisible enemies. These include aliens, asteroids, climate disasters, terrorists, viruses, and World War Three.
