What I enjoy with the modern world, is that FB and twit have brought back the Ancient Greek schools of philosophy. Each school had different fundamental truths and they tried to convert other people. Sometimes, it got rather heated, and many people like Socrates had to easy way out with hemlock or warm baths.
We are in this, like the Greek parliament, where everybody had a voice for democracy. You could not get a more ideal form of government. Unfortunately, it didn't work. As somebody said, government is like sausage making -- don't look.
Fauci has said that if we had all this social media in the 50's, then we would not have gotten rid of polio or smallpox. That was in an era of great rationality, but, perhaps, little sympathy for thousands of tiny minorities, of the type that destroyed Greek democracy. What is better?
The Scientific Method is ruthless and does not suit this modern world with a sensitivity to everybody and their dog. It is dead, and each school will push its truth. As such, we will endure disaster after disaster, and it will all be blamed on the 'other guys'. I'm just here to observe and laugh, because the alternative is to cry, and that's sad.
