He argues that these institutions project power over individuals, withholding crucial information needed for personal decision-making. Shapiro expresses his frustration, stating, "I'm angry that we were lied to you. You should be angry, too, because the fact is that if you're like me and you had some level of baseline credulity about some of our institutions, that credulity is gone."
