@BretWeinstein I suppose that in order to uncover truth, you need to be willing to thread through emotional and intellectual discomfort, in the upside there is great potencial for growth through discomfort! Well done Bret
@brittlestar The housing bubble and consequent crisis didn’t need a head or group structure to drive it. Still wealth got rewarded and populations suffered. What if greed is at the wheel?
@brittlestar I trust humans to be simultaneously virtuous and flawed. I trust people to be greedy for money, power, status and influence. I’m concerned with the lack of transparency and unbalances, and how susceptible the systems are to the influence of wealth
@RaggedTP Morality is ultimately an expression of the self. One would be wise to distrust any individual or collective that tries to indoctrinate on morality. The world is not scarce of self righteous selfless people pretending to know what’s best for you.
@ngbrman@RokoMijic Trust expert’s opinion to be used by groups to influence policy and personal gain. Trust experts to be human and as such possibly wrong or biased. Trust experts predictions of the future to be a guess as their insight may not extrapolate well to a real world complex scenario
@JanBacon5@MaajidNawaz Bless you. Adoption is widespread. The world is with vaccines. However a person can still die or become injured with the novel vaccine. Different age groups have different risks.
Allowing the choice might be what preserves our humanity
@PhilipHewlett@jordanbpeterson That submitting to an invasive procedure in a context of incredibly fast development and adoption, not to mention social pressure, where there are different risk profiles for the disease and vaccine is not the same as drunk driving.
@PhilipHewlett@jordanbpeterson You understand how that might be an unfair comparison, right? which demonises a novel personal choice by comparing it to a behaviour that is deemed reckless, selfish and capricious unequivocally by society.
