I honestly wonder about Minds that are brilliant enough to hack Nature, weaponizing it, are simultaneously so f-ing stupid as to actually do it and think there are no consequences. I believe generals who would use nukes have more respect for their weapons than do those people.

Clearly, there is no such thing as medical ethics any longer.

Thank you, as always, for this well of sanity. The nasty-covid research sounds very much like John Michael Greers' vision a year or two ago. Zombie apocalypse type of development. Be that as it may, an anonymous commenter on Greers ongoing covid discussion said this: "The weaponized mind is not that effective against life". I know in the marrow of my bones this is true. No guarantees for personal survival but life, it has a way of its own. In the summer I finally got myself going on making my own sourdough bread. Flour, salt, a bit of oil, and starter. It feels like an insurace I can understand. Money feels like a very wobbly thing now. Will the pensions system exist when I am that age, or will it blow up like most of my generation has always suspected it will? Don't know how it feels to be rich right now - looking at finance news makes me happy no to have money to invest. The pension monies, mine included, are cooking in that pit, so I am implied. But funny how being at the top of the food-chain, or living in a fancy modern apartment or house, or being rich, successfull and all that has lost the little allure they had. Having the things I always wanted; wood-burning oven (I can bake without electricity!) a little farmland (so little that it does not qualify as a farm so not under threat of EU madness), no debt and no savings - things that I wanted but also have made me feel like a freak, now feel like a lovely safety-net, that I am embarrassed to boast about. I never expected the world around to change so that what I perceived as my freakness would turn out to be a good strategy. To me this looks like proof that the weaponized mind is not that effective against life.
