I would like to offer this definition of science: “an active and reactive intelligence oriented around effective action and accurate understandings of human life and our universe.”
As such I think it is purely benign. It could also be defined in its fallen and impure form as “a process of rationalizing ineffective and misguided policy in the service of political expediency”.
I was gratified the other day to see someone very independently of me reference Lysenkoism.
That is just me fooling around. The point I wanted to make is that maybe mask wearing IS scientific. We have been told we are being required to wear masks to accomplish a scientific end.
But what if the scientific end is getting us to wear masks? To create a cause which can be amplified in our compliant propaganda apparatus suffciently that coherent and well considered social engineering goals can be accomplished?
It is absurd to think that slowing an undangerous virus 1.5% per month across a YEAR is sensible, when considering the psychological toll, especially on our young. I heard Lin Wood refer to this as satanic and I agree. That is my feeling exactly. It is a sadistic game, played on us by a power elite, and has become a masochistic one on the part of far too many.
Yesterday some woman asked me to put my mask on and I asked her if this made any sense to her AFTER A YEAR. She replied that the mask did not bother her and that we all needed to wear them until we were all vaccinated. This is the catechism, is it not? The faith and the creed, duly and dully recited by the robotically compliant?
But even Trevor Noah found himself wondering ALOUD why the same cretins pushing masks are telling the vaccinated they STILL need to wear masks?
It seems obvious nobody even KNOWS what these injections being given to as much of the worlds population as possible DO.
They do not seem to confer immunity. It is not at all clear they prevent severe illness. And as I said recently we have VASTLY more data on the illness than these sundry medical “treatments” which were cooked up in a gold rush, to cash in big, using NEW TECHNOLOGY. New to this purpose, in any event.
A vaccine is injecting an agent to which the bodies immune system reacts. These “vaccines” consist in material which causes the body itself to create the disease FROM YOUR OWN CELLS, and to which some other part of the body reacts. How long this “magic” lasts nobody knows. We may be inducing permanent disease and continual immune reactions in response, which are unnatural and highly likely, as many have commented, to lead to all sorts of autoimmune disorders.
And returning to the actually scientific use of masks, all of us, when presented with a trivial but inappropriate demand, can react with anger or compliance.
In some respects—and this just occurred to me—healthy anger is like our social immune system. It keeps out, spontaneously and naturally, what is bad for us.
Perennial, indefinite mask wearing to no truly logical purpose in effects degrades some important aspect of our social immune system and opens us up to further and more severe “infection” in the form of yet more intellectually depraved, idiotic, and abusive demands.
The propagandist and brain and heart washer might well adopt the unofficial SAS motto “always a little farther.”
The thing with reflexive compliance is that it becomes first a habit, then something people CLING TO. We are wired as social animals, and clinging in groups to arbitrary totems and symbols is something we do naturally. What triggers People of the Mask when they see the relative Other is DIFFERENCE. It is not really the fear of physical disease but moral and social contagion. They do not want to be reminded other possibilities exist. They want to forget their freedom by denying it to others.
I well remember recently having a kid wearing a mask come out from behind a large plastic shield 30’ from me, which protected an enclosed room—where he was about as safe as safe can be—to come yell at me for not wearing a mask while I was STANDING drinking coffee, rather than sitting drinking coffee, in a hotel breakfast area where I was the only occupant. I yelled at him because it was patently abusive, but looking back I should have just sat down and asked him “happy now?”
But this is the sort of psychotic intrusion a year of madness makes both possible and in important respects inevitable.
Here is my net point: THERE ARE NO TRIVIAL ABUSES OF FREEDOM.
Our courts and legislatures and too many State and local leaders have been failing us for more than a year.
Laws are made by legislatures. This is Poly Sci 101. Governing by Diktat for more than a short span of time—as the Whitmers and Newsom’s and Cuomo’s and Wolf’s and others have done—is OBVIOUSLY wrong according to every precedent in American history and inimical to everything we supposedly stand for.
Done without legislative oversight and consent, such law making is law BREAKING.
And SELF EVIDENTLY both our courts and legislatures should have put leashes on our sundry Governors 8 months ago or more.
I would argue that Hitler never REALLY ended democratic representation in Germany. He just declared a State of emergency that only ceased with his death deep in thr flaming rubble of Berlin.
Most large scale evil in human history has been the result of giving too much power to bad people. Every particle and word in our Constitution vibrates with the admonition “do not allow the concentration of power ANYWHERE.”
I woukd assert that much of this last year has been IN EFFECT teaching people to tolerate giving too much power to bad people. It is training. And masks, in important respects, are our leashes. Reject them.
