oh my. the mildness of this contagion is definitely disproportionate to the response.
the “wonks” are getting it wrong, again. they have always failed to understand situations like this and they continue to fail. unfortunately, this contagion is no longer the problem. arrogance. hubris.
a small percentage of humans would die if the contagion were allowed to spread naturally. unfortunately, the time for that is past.
now, resources — or lack of them — will be the first killer. the second killer will be the violence. the third killer will be time. to quote beetle juice, “what’s wrong?” … “we’re very unhappy” … “what did you expect? you’re dead!”
the economic collapse is going to be so bad and is coming so swiftly that i fear our civilization will not survive. this is going to make the great depression look like a sad and pathetic joke. reason being, we are all hyper-dependent on our technology.
i hope some of you decided to print out the important bits and somehow find a way to bind them and hide them in such a way that neither time nor the elements can erode them.
all digital information will be lost. all scientific knowledge will be lost. all institutional knowledge will be lost.
we will never make it to the 5th domain. we will no longer be in the 4th domain. we will be lucky to emerge in the 3rd domain. i predict we will end up in the 1st or 2nd domain.
if we do survive this — because i do wish you all the best — i hope a lot of people go to jail for perpetrating this hoax.
