Just a while ago bro you were saying we wouldn’t hit 70k. We’re going to cross that today or tomorrow.
Anyway I think it would be worse without doing this. I don’t think there is anything that we can do to get this under control. The money and means to keep people afloat is there but the political will is not.
This was handled with such ineptitude that it was either deliberate or negligence.
Don’t use anarchy to mean social breakdown. Use chaos. They aren’t interchangeable.
people have to go into those nursing homes bro and they bring it with them. This is out and we can’t put it back.
I think we have to accept the reality that this is going to be mass carnage. Some of us are going to die because we as a species can’t figure out to run the world without “work”. We’re not smart enough to try anything differently so we will trudge back to jobs we hate because we have no other alternative and we will just accept the risk of a potentially horrible death by COVID. People on this board will die and with these numbers we will all know someone personally who has died before it’s over. We’ll weigh the odds and say “we’ll it’s the old and sick, odds are acceptable, it’s just one of the things we live with like murder and cancer“
You’re a good weird guy Aero.
I said 70k by the summer. But it is my bad for expecting some kind of results. I'm still hopeful to see a sharp decline in COVID related deaths any day now though.
Mass carnage is what we already have, so it's not surprising you like the current plan. Also, I'm pretty sure I didn't bring up society breaking down. Nevertheless, I disagree that such a thing is even necessary.
I think that society can transform into a Utopia. Now, in order to do that we need to start eliminating self-serving institutions. The problem with anarchy is it reinforces those institutions. Chaos, on the other hand, can be harnessed in a way that's surgical like
removing a tumor.
The reality is maintaining the Earth and the physicality of living requires work. That's why through my deepest thinking, I've realized work will even be required in a Utopia. At least until technology can do all the work for us. Either way, work has to exist in the same way energy has to exist.
