Narratives, Science, and Sovereignty

This chapter explores the erosion of national sovereignty and the influence of international courts on legal systems, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It critiques the decline of due process, the manipulation of narratives by authorities, and the political interplay between science and governance, suggesting a troubling shift towards totalitarianism. The discussion also highlights the failures of liberal societies to safeguard democracy amidst growing authoritarian measures and the superficial understanding of complex scientific issues by media and politicians.
