    Yup, this is going to alter human behavior forever. It'll be interesting to see in which ways. 

    Some people want to hang on to the pre-lockdown 'normal', but it'll never be like that again. I think that's where this irrational optimism comes from. Change is hard.

    Can you not see how this could all or somewhat be contrived? History has done this before over and over and been factually proven after the fact. Not saying it has to be, but not watching for it objectively isn’t smart.

    Bussmelon just wrapped another piece of tinfoil around his head & is now peering out of the closed blinds looking for the black helo's that are going to be hovering soon...

    No, I live life entirely the opposite. But hey, maybe like all the other truly “enlightened” people here you know more about others than they do themselves.

    what is this bright side you speak of again? 

    this new reality we find ourselves in isn't going away any time soon. 

    just because someone rejects your fringe positions doesn't mean one is 'riddled with self doubt' or trying to fool themselves. Your pattern of repeatedly projecting these feelings onto others suggest they are yours more than anyone elses

    I put opinions out there initially as my own as a counterpoint not even commenting on the original. Then the pile on begins. Then I respond in kind. Yes, there is a pattern there. I literally don’t care if anybody rejects any position or opinion I have. To do it being an asshole or ridiculing says everything about them, not me.

    Everyone has to go their own way. I feel it's much quicker and clearer to decide it's all fucked and then examine everything a piece at a time to figure out what isn't. 

    My conclusion? It's 98-99% fucked. :lol:

    Taking a completely different path I think I’ve concluded the same. :lol: 

     

    Maybe I’m just different in trying to enjoy or focus on the other 1-2% :bc:

    Your rights end where mine begin. If your behavior deprives me of life or liberty then it is no longer your right to behave in such a way. 

     

    So in the right scenario we both stand still and both die.

    It’s more of all the patriotic dogma and propaganda Bussman was jammed full of now being something he acknowledges but can’t deal with properly. Instead of rejecting the system fully and realizing he was lied to at every step he’s thrown himself into this strange world of alt right Christian conspiracy laden lunacy because it offers him something that can never be disproven.....of course it will never be proven either. It’s horrifying to watch this happen to someone who was likely close to the only place sane men living in reality can end up.....apathy for the system and a focus on individuality and happiness 

    Spoken like somebody riddled with doubt and uncertainty and unable to admit it. Rejecting everything is throwing out the baby with the bath water. You are lazy and undisciplined, that’s why your only option is to do that. If I need to find truth in bits I will do so, you will forever be lost going down your road.

    I think buss really doesn't know which 'facts' to base reality upon and I think it changes daily. I think a lot of people are the same way. It's really just a side effect from being lied to by all the institutions you're supposed to trust. 

    If they lied all the time, it'd be much easier to tell truth from lies. The trouble is that sometimes, they tell the truth. Not all of it, of course, but enough. 

    And then you wind up not knowing what to believe or when or how much.

    Not to beat a dead horse, but this is yet another inherent flaw in a capitalist system. Lies make money. Lies with a little truth sprinkled in make more.

    Lot a truth to that. :bc:

    I don't give a fuck what you need or don't need...TBH I think you're a fucking head case trying to masquerade as an enlightened intellectual assigning false positions to others so you can act superior....it's fucking worn out and weird.

    Holy mountain of irony Batman. And yet you keep getting threatened by things I say. You’re a fraud who the biggest person he’s fooled is himself. Don’t like what I have to say, ignore it. 
     

    But you can’t. Because of your doubt. Own it, stop being a pussy about it.

    Not a lot we collectively can do about the spread of cancer or heart disease, for example. We can do something about this. 

    I don’t disagree. But I’m asking seriously, do we shut down our collective lives like this for every flu season? In some ways I’d actually be for that. 
    How much liberty do we surrender also in doing so? Freedom of movement and association was supposed to be an inalienable right. Are you over that now?

    Obviously I didn't say that and don't believe as such, but not everything has some hidden nefarious motive.

     

    I don’t think everything does. In fact most humans aren’t wired that way. Disproportionately those in charge are though. Facts and history prove that over and over. We (including me) forget that too easy and are gullible. Shame on them. But after awhile shame on us. I’ll remain overly skeptical, you are free to chose your route of opinion. :bc:

    About 4 out of 10 people that I talk to think it’s a hoax. They’re pretty fucking emotional about it too. 

    And 4 out of 10 are gut hooked by everything the media tells them. They’re pretty fucking emotional about it too. 
     

    Then there is the other 2 of us.
