Great article.
"The way we feel is the way we act"
So true. The virus finally made it to this island where I'm at in Thailand, first time since this whole thing started. Now everyone is full of anxiety and fear. People are distant and cold towards eachother like I've never seen here. The community FB chat has turned into two sides (vaxer and anti-vaxers) just slinging mud. The group is called Koh Phagnan Conscious Community. The name is now comical.
I'm just starting to think fear is the real virus.
It is a Machiavellian process, isn't it? Control groups, by making them fear each other as individuals. Every argument is polarized now, with no room for nuance. It doesn't matter if you are right in one aspect, you are always wrong in countless others. Be wary, every ally is also an enemy.
Sounds like a healthy society...
