On a different note. What I've noticed is a quite astonishing upswing in the quality of everyday life, for now, perhaps even for most.
But yes the ease, the complacency with which people, ultimately, do and think as they are told by 'authority', and quite casually give up basic liberties, put together, I find chilling. I find this "of course" when told we're faced with a plague, uttered in the language of positive science but without imv the basis - evident on these pages - ultimately an unconscious argument to authority. I find the deification of the medics as an annointing of them as high priests, somehow "experts in death", in the same way psychologists are somehow experts in the human soul. More about denial of death than the great job anyone is actually doing - not to say many aren't actually doing good work. But the illusions are easily exploited as a lever for all sorts of dark plans and urges.
