She hands small cuts out as samples. I asked to buy some to hand out one year as gifts while hostel traveling and she gave me a bunch for free.

Not sure where you are but you might want to check local small makers/ farmers market. The soap lady at my local farmers market has the best soaps - I no longer use anything else for showering. It looks pricey but the bars are large and last a very long time. She finally has an online shop. https://skincarebyfeleciai.com/collections/soap

I agree. Unfortunately this country has a big problem with education, intellectualism, and science.

I’m not sure how we dig our way out of this hole since it’s decades in the making and there’s renewed vigor for opression.

Not sure what you have or haven’t tried but there’s a strong correlation between certain types of neurodivergence, depression, anxiety, imposter syndrome, and anger issues.

When my depression got out of control it was the anger issues that clued me in and got me to seek help.

If you have not discussed depression/ anxiety meds with your doctor that may be an avenue to help regulate things.
