Techmology and Scientism / Re: Coronavirus data and events as they come in

The best evidence I've heard - mainly due to some potential amount of verifiability - is that china restricted air travel from wuhan to other parts of china but not the rest of the world. This seems to be a good indicator of early knowledge of something bad and intent to cause harm to the rest of the world. Not that there's anything I can do about it. . .

I like to use facebook to make my family uncomfortable and wrestle qith whether they want to unfriend me or not. I find it's best to only post things that people can't be sure if you're serious or not

Think for Yourself, Schmuck! / Re: Power Structure Architecture (Power Structure Engineering)

I don't mean to jack up your thread, and I apologize if you think that's what I'm trying to do. as a show of good will, anything that I may add later, I will do so by editing this post instead of creating a new one. that should help preserve the "flow"
we're obviously coming from different places (reality tunnels and what not) here, too.
I don't have much hope for any sort of success by any definition of the word in this arena, but it's fun to think about.
With that said, I was reading where you were writing about Fear being used to dominate. That certainly should come as no surprise. The purpose of a power structure presumably is control. I guess I have 2 take-aways. My apologies for not having organized my thoughts very well, but I only have a few more minutes here before I have to go do something else. Maybe I'll come back and edit this later?
Anyhow - I think it's pretty safe to assume that Power structures are not 100% deliberate. i think they can largely be attributed to basic survival instincts, greed, and, say, lack of moral fiber and/or fortitude. a lot of this behavior, i believe, is driven by the subconscious mind.
my other thought was there is also the law of unintended consequences. Getting back to using Fear as a method of control - no matter your thoughts and opinions about Covid, it is evident that it has provided a source of fear and has been exploited in efforts to control. The unintended consequence, i think is that, those in power did not expect that so many people, when faced with a "the world may end tomorrow and you will die" situation would accept this fate and pursue their own selfish interests instead of falling in lock step with "the program" - i can back up this claim somewhat in that people have been quitting their jobs in the largest numbers in history. i think this is reactionary to the fear stimulus - a sort of, i'm going to enjoy what life i have left as best i can instead of endure the jabs, masks and seemingly endless lockdowns.
i think throughout history, when the coercive fear stimulus is the loud side of a barrel of a gun, it's always a surprise how many choose the bullet instead of getting with the program.
-------------------------
i guess without some sort of end goal in mind, i don't see much point in this exercise . . . maybe your goals are loftier than mine, but i feel i am already able to exert enough influence to achieve my goals.
