Work is crazy busy.
I still need to figure out how to take some time off.
Thinking about the state of the world, I reached a disturbing realization the other day — that the COVID-19 remediations will work as well as the solutions to fight climate change.
There is no accountability for politicians whose solutions don’t work. It used to be assumed that they’d just lose at the ballot box, then go away.
Now, they’re absolutely destroying people’s lives.
It’s not enough to just end cops’ qualified immunity; end sovereign immunity.
If you do something that hurts someone else, you’re responsible. Even if there’s a fancy title in front of your name.
Is groupthink dangerous?
At one time, I probably would have said, “yes,” but I wonder if it matters at this point.
Whatever you think, whether it’s groupthink or not, doesn’t matter to matter to most people.
If you adhere to the “correct” groupthink, you’re okay. If you subscribe to the wrong ideas, whether or not there’s a lot of people who agree with you, you’ve made yourself a target.
Senator Paul is one of the few people who’s challenging the wisdom of various measures, and the totes-doesn’t-do-evil company’s video site suspends his site..
He’s a Senator.
For him, adhering to the popular opinion, groupthink, he wouldn’t have been suspended.
So it doesn’t matter. See: CloudFlare.
