Went to the doc today for a medicine check and refill. Also wasn’t feeling good. 14 year old grand daughter and my daughter have had the coof over the last two weeks so I figured I have it. Just kind of tired.

Nurse checks me in and asked if I had been jabbed. I said no. She said good because it doesn’t work. My faith in the younger people is being restored.

Doctor comes in. I explain what’s going on. He checks me out and says I probably have the coof and he’d like to test me but they ran out of test kits. And besides the results wouldn’t be back for 5 days and I’d probably be over it by then. I was going to ask about the quick nose swab and then decided to keep my mouth shut.

We started talking about the virus. His view is that everyone is going to get it and then have some type of immunity. Then I asked him where he thought it came from. He said the wet market in Wuhan. WTF? Are you serious, I asked. Oh yeah, it’s been pretty well established. Hmm, I asked about the Spanish flu and if he’d heard about the vaccine trials done by the Army that kicked it off. No, he said, sounds like a conspiracy theory. I was going to mention a couple of books and then thought, why bother.

It’s amazing that people in these positions don’t research things.

This is true, but it is also true for reasons that we don't discuss here often. You cannot expect everyone to nerd over this stuff like we do. First, this stuff is boring. Well, it's not, it's dramatic when you really dig in but it takes a long time to get to the juicy stuff and hook into it. Second, people have their own lives to lead and they all have specialties to pursue.

There is a real economic reason why I delegate accounting to accountants, plubming to plumbers and so forth.

What happens with politics for most people is that it is presented like a giant brick of stuff. It has a shape, but it isn't interesting, you don't know where it fits and what to do with it and you don't know how to break it down, nor do you have interest in doing that.

So people just kind of leave that psychologically aside, it gets boiled down to some digestible bullshit 10 minute thing on the news and then they watch a bit take care of their kids and go to sleep.

I mean, if you think about it as an editor, how do you even make this shit interesting to people? None of the people involved are good looking because politics is just hollywood for ugly people, so you can't even enjoy watching any of this shit. You have to chop this up into a thousand little bits and extract the interesting and dramatic stuff, but the news already does that and they give people just the bits they already agree with so it is digestible.

It can be done, but we aren't doing it. And a regular user doesn't come home from work wanting to do homework and research.

The best our side has is Alex Jones in terms of production values. The next best thing is Poal and look at the low iq faggots around here that sit around and cannot elevate even a basic conversation above 'hey faggot'.

My self included.

I mean, if everyone could just do 20 minutes per day we would be way ahead, but the economics of the situation work against that.

Hey niggerfaggot. How's that for elevation?

People naturally pay attention to things that are a threat, or make them fearful. That's the problem. Because no open minded research was done previously, they take the easy way, i.e. put on the mask and try not to be noticed, hoping it would pass, and dig in their heels on their ideas out of panic. People are generally intellectually lazy. They would rather post, comment or read twitter or tiktok for validation even when they are in a respected profession. How many people join medicine for altruistic reasons? Most are lab nerds who want money and aren't willing to do the ass kissing the pursuit of grant money entails. They usually won't do anything against the flow unless it's underhanded, or they are the point man on the team. They give the shots even knowing it's bullshit. They drown patients in chemo knowing it's bullshit. Think about that.

That is an astute analysis.

In on paragraph you kind of pulled out the one thread that is interesting to people: things things that are a threat.

Are we missing the golden opportunity on our side?

Your post made me think about why I spend time on this stuff. I guess the hook for me is the identification of the threats to our (my) existence.

If we were to start re-branding and re-packaging our signalling and messaging. How would you do it?

Just curious, your insight is amazing.
