Wish fulfillment

We live in an age where people confuse wishing and wanting with actual science.

Just because something is inconvenient does not make it false and anyone who believes they have enough money to make the coronavirus leave them alone, or climate change a fairy tale needs to be quietly inserted into a straitjacket.

Granted we did not get to this age of smog and pollution without science, but abandoning the laws of science, or selling them to the highest bidder will not make very real problems go away.

It is difficult when people are afraid and their leader is a snake oil salesman from medieval times. Drink the juice and make me happy he tweets like some mad canary who has eaten too many of the wrong seeds.

We have reached the point where people are going to have to be brave enough to corral this jester and his fringe elements. You cannot shoot a virus. You cannot use the same thing to clean your body that you use to clean your toilets. If you cannot contain an ego maniac, how in the world can you hope to deal with Mother Nature. She's been around a lot longer and her methods are fool proof. The problem is, she does not think of people any differently than she does tigers, or elephants, bacteria or viruses. If we die; we die.

I suppose this could herald the age of the Great Darwinian purge, but it's going to take a lot of good people with it too.
