We're putting masks on children, forcing people to accept poorly-tested medical treatments, and now considering implementing discriminatory health certificates.
As little as a couple of years ago, such measures seemed more at home in an an Issac Asimov short story. But it's worth it right? We are trying to stop a virus from killing the elderly and vulnerable in society. We don't have a choice.
Or do we? How did we get to this level of fear over the big blue and red ball ?

Are you a law abiding citizen?
I'm sure you think you are. But what if I told you, I don't even believe you should be? Do you really follow the letter of the law? And if not, what truly governs our behavior?
Let's challenge the narrative!
What do you think of when you hear terms like "anti-scientific" or "science denier"?
Maybe you think about those terrible people who refuse to wear masks in a pandemic, or a tin-foil hat wearing "climate change skeptic", one of those awful people who refuses to acknowledge facts and endangers people in the process.
But is it fair to call people who question science "anti-scientific"?
Science, at it's very core, is based in skepticism. The core principles of reproducibility, falsifiability and peer review are based in the notion that any scientific finding may be incorrect.
Let's challenge the narrative.
How much does fear of future loss drive you? Fear of losing respect... of losing your job... your house... your health... your freedom...
Your belief in the likelihood of these potentialities is determined by the stories you tell yourself, or the stories you accept that are offered to you by others. And when those stories are given to you by people in authority, you are even more likely to accept them.
But... Do you see the inherent danger here?
