As readers might have seen over the past two years, the response by Western (and many Asian) governments to the COVID-19 pandemic has been comically ineffectual in addition to having no worthwhile effect on its trajectory. If you don’t believe me, just have a look at the aggregate number of diagnosed cases, hospitalizations and deaths (normalized to population) attributed to that disease over past two years. Isn’t it odd that most western countries have very similar numbers in all three categories, even though they took different approaches in their futile attempts to control its spread? Perhaps, I should post a graph in my next post showing this most peculiar phenomenon. My point is that all the “NPIs” and other measures taken to control a respiratory virus failed in a very consistent manner, as anybody with a decent understanding of the epidemiology of infectious diseases would have predicted.
"While conservatives believe in traditional religions with all its trappings, liberals believe in the church of Scientism. So instead of blindly believing in the word of priests in white or black garbs, liberals choose to blindly believe the words of "credentialed" dummies representing the church of Scientism."
You are EXACTLY right. Greta is Jean d'Arc. Extinction Rebellion and other millennials having climate change abortions, eating bugs to save the planet and otherwise punishing themselves by giving up their comforts over delusions are the same as religious devouts fasting or going to confession every week to ennumerate their "sins" to some authority figure. Weak purposeless people who can afford to indulge themselves have always looked for something to repent, to add a sense of virtue, sacrifice & accomplishment to their otherwise empty lives.
This passage is masterful!
