It Is A Collapse
Aug. 27th, 2021 03:17 pmOne of the most salient features of this Covid crisis is rampant irrationality. But what worries me most is that some of those giving in to the irrationality suddenly seem transformed, liberated, righteous, all the while saying absurd things. It is as if they feel liberated by ditching the burden of rational thought and honest discourse.
Where I live, a justice minister said last week sternly that discriminating the unvaccinated would be illegal, but just five days later said exactly the opposite, with a bright smile, almost giggling. Intelligent people are saying that not being allowed to do anything unvaccinated does not amount to it being mandated, no. You see, it's your choice if you want to starve because you can't get into the supermarket unvaccinated. After all, you could just vaccinate. Some of the people saying such things are even professors for "Ethics". A president of a large country just said that the vaccinated have to be protected from the unvaccinated.
None of them seems to worry at all about losing credibility and trust. Quite the opposite, the look to me as chanting to themselves, neener neener, I can say whatever I want and you can do nothing about it.
They look like mad people to me, blindly destroying something very precious that won't be easy to get back. Something that is indeed the fabric of the west. And that is happening everywhere at every level.
