Humility is the key to a less divided world. I use this account with the hopes of injecting a little more uncertainty into your world beliefs.

@deonandan How come no one mentions the mitigating factors? Like wastewater indicators during the spring melt are much less reliable (check last March). Also, though it is a lagging indicator it definitely seems to be lagging more than previous waves (doesn’t omicron come on faster?)

As someone who is interested in truth above all else, where should I look? Whom should I trust? Where do I find others like me? #philosophy #truth #trust #sincerity #neutrality #truthseeker

@Cmdr_Hadfield Funny how dogs get very efficient with their ‘tasks’ on mornings like this!

@DH_newfcollins Lol! I meant besides you of course. Still waiting for your autobiography to come out “Yeah, but…”

Be thankful the greatest thinkers of the past didn’t live during the period of social media as it surely would have ruined them all. Will any modern thinker be remembered as great? #philosophy #philosophers

@deonandan This will not move the needle at all on the number of people vaccinated. This simply widens the divide.

[Graham Howse @passionatewhy]

@seanmcarroll Just like time! it doesn’t actually exist as a tangible thing that can be grasped and held.

[Graham Howse @passionatewhy]

A ‘Cytokine Storm’ is a reaction of the immune system gone overboard so that it harms instead of helps…. There needs to be a word for when public health precautions go too far…. Perhaps an ‘Anthropine Storm’? #COVID #Omicronismilder #omicron #Pandemic #vaccine #newword

@clairlemon Our ultimate battle is with the illusion of control. Life is what happens despite our best efforts.

[Graham Howse @passionatewhy]

@deonandan Not hoping… seems like we might not have a choice. Hoping initial hints and findings of severity decrease continues to hold true.

[Graham Howse @passionatewhy]

@BogochIsaac @smckinley1 Yes. Decentralize testing. Also decentralize restrictions. Meaning use the rapid tests before gathering and impose restrictions upon yourself depending upon the result.

[Graham Howse @passionatewhy]

@deonandan I’m tired of being told to be afraid. It’s inevitable that people check out. And now that there are hints that Omicron may be milder, as recently as 2 hours ago from CTV news, pressure to disregard such findings seems rooted in fears about low vaccine uptake rather than science.

@BomfinRoberto @treylorswift @seanmcarroll @nattyover You would both probably enjoy the philosophy of Henri Bergson, if you aren’t already familiar. Try this podcast if you have 25 minutes.

Too often politicians are looked to as a source of truth when in fact they are singularly focussed on obtaining/retaining power. Truth for the politically minded is only leveraged when it is convenient #politics #canpoli #truth #journalism

[Graham Howse @passionatewhy]

@__Uncertainty_ @jordanbpeterson @VP Yes… maybe grouped under severity or on its own.
