Episode Rundown

S1E10 – F.U.D. Is Dirtier Than Mud

Written & Directed By Balefire Outdoors

Synopsis:Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. Today we talk about why we need to stop supporting doomsayers and think for ourselves. From daily life to protecting the outdoors, it’s just evil.

Discussion

• What is F.U.D. ? – Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt
• The Incentives: Everyone Wants “Secret” Knowledge
• Money, Discrediting The Opposition, Influence (Personal & Political), Satisfying The Egomaniac
• Protecting Nature From Corporate Monsters
  
  Dirty Politics & Social Engineering
• Old Wives Tales: A Toxic Inheritance
• Break Free From The Matrix
• LEAP: Learn, Educate, Advocate, Participate

Overall Thoughts

F.U.D. is used by politicians, corporations, and conspiracy theorists but also friends and family. Everyone has a bias and those without a moral compass will use dirty tricks to try and control your opinion and view of the world. There’s plenty of it in the outdoors arena. Fight it.
