       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack Covid isn't a threat to humanity.

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack Yeah? What's the alternative?  What's your plan to avoid ever-greater dependence on technology in lieu of natural immunity?

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack No, this is the central point: what is the point of "ending the pandemic?"  What is your goal there?  Obviously, if there was no cost to it, it'd be the thing to do.  But you've outlined costs, including killing me, and imprisoning millions in their homes and making people wear diapers on their faces for.. well, basically forever.  So: it's on you to explain why that would be worthwhile.  What's the point?  Why should we do that?

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack It's just cope.  You want to deal with the problems of technology with still more techology, because the alternative is heinous.  It's understandable, but it's cope.  There's no end-game path to the technological solution other than transhumanism.  We're already sufficiently "advanced" technologically where the concept of human dignity is a farce.  You want to double down in hopes that your non-existent offspring may somehow save it by some means you can't describe.  There's nothing there, however.  Life is red in tooth and claw, and trying to make everything "fair" and considering "all life equally valid" is just bullshit.  If anything is going to make mankind extinct, it's certainly tech, outside of a comet strike or whatever.

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack >The point is, if this disease is left to continue, there will be billions if not trillions of lives lost to it.  We can stop that carnage NOW if we choose.I doubt it, but in any case I choose.  Now make the argument against me.

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack Better than transhumanism, but there's another option: full technological collapse.

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack Which is my point: you can't really expain your position.  There's no reason to think it'd beneficial to the spcecies; quite the opposite.  You're emotionally motivated.

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack BTW, have you ever had pets?  In my experience, pets get sick as often as I do or less. Yet, in my media consumption, people I follow get sick something like 5-10x as often as I do.  Imagine if pets got sick two or three times a year.  Pathetic.  The reason they don't is pretty obvious, IMO.

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack But you're simultaneously ok with every human being so weak they can't survive at all without all manner of technological innovations, which certainly is worse than the consequences of one novel virus.

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack Bro, you admit that covid wouldn't kill humanity.  Your "solution" is to make mankind dependent on man-made "solutions" to covid and everything else.  What's your point?

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack But those "solutions" matter of factly make mankine dependent on technology.  For example: imagine tomorrow there was an EMP event.  If the tech that you champion was cut off, your whole point is moot.  You're either a liar, or you're delusional regarding your position.  You want tech to solve mankind's problems. That's just an accurate description of your position.

       @jeffcliff @Beomus @BowsacNoodle @dytha @johndolph @lonelyranger @nordtrack You stubbornly keep missing the point.  I think you shouldn't smoke.  Not because smoking is bad per se, but because smoking has bad outcomes.  All of your points are dependent upon outcomes only relevant to the current technological society.   They're fist-order responses that don't make any sense in any other context, and in fact can't be defended, unless we assume some kind of transhuman future.

       @jeffcliff @nordtrack @dytha @johndolph @BowsacNoodle @Beomus @lonelyranger But you haven't said what matters.  What do you mean "what works?"What works for what?  As I've pointed out, your idea of "what works" seems to be advancing a humanity that can't survive being downwind of an open bag of peanuts.

       @dytha @jeffcliff @nordtrack @johndolph @BowsacNoodle @Beomus @lonelyranger >The uniformed officers entered half an hour later. They wore visored hoods over their heads, and approached him warily. They pinned his arms, and gave him a swift, painless injection that ended his life, and the threat of infection, in five minutes.Nice reference.

       @7666 Just the 20 seconds is more than making me sorry for any poor choices I've made.
