At the end of February 2020, the global village began to shake on its foundations
A virus forced the Chinese government to take the most draconian measures
Entire cities were quarantined, new hospitals were built hastily, and individuals in white suits disinfected public spaces.
In a matter of weeks, everyone was gripped by the story of a virus-a story that was undoubtedly based on facts. But on which ones?
Expert virologists were called upon to replace politicians
These experts soon turned out to have quite a few common human flaws
In their statistics and graphs they made mistakes
At one point, they counted all deaths as corona deaths
They pledged that the Gates to Freedom would re-open after two doses of the vaccine, but then they contrived the need for a third
Some people began to nurture suspicions.
How is it possible that these experts make mistakes that even laymen wouldn't make? Aren't they scientists, the kind of people who took us to the moon and gave us the internet? They can't be that stupid, can they? What is their endgame?
Their recommendations take us further down the road in the same direction: with each new step, we lose more of our freedoms, until we reach a final destination where human beings are reduced to QR codes in a large technocratic medical experiment.
The Coronavirus Crisis
In the first week of the crisis, March 2020, I published an opinion paper titled "The Fear of the Virus Is More Dangerous Than the Virus Itself."
I had analyzed the statistics and mathematical models on which the coronavirus narrative was based and immediately saw that they all dramatically overrated the dangerousness of the virus.
A few months later, by the end of May 2020, this impression had been confirmed beyond the shadow of a doubt.
What is mass formation?
Mass formation is a specific kind of group formation that makes people radically blind to everything that goes against what the group believes in.
Individuals in mass formation become intolerant for dissonant voices and commit atrocities toward those who do not go along with the group’s vision of the state.
Totalitarianism is the logical consequence of mechanistic thinking and the delusional belief in the omnipotence of human rationality
It is a defining feature of the Enlightenment tradition
The real task facing us as individuals and as a society is to envision a new view of humankind and the world, to find a new foundation for our identity, formulate new principles for living together with others, and to reclaim a timely human capacity-Truth Speech
