Any further posts from you here will go ignored.6ix, yesterday you wrote: "I don't deny that the virus they call Covid-19 exists. It just hasn't directly killed a single person yet." http://fireflyfans.net/mthread.aspx?bid=18&tid=63571&mid=1131747#1131747 6ix, if you truly believe Covid-19 hasn't "directly" killed a single person (not sure why you added the superfluous word "directly") then everything you have written about Covid-19 finally makes sense. Crazy sense, but logical. I can now see why you've been such a retard about Covid-19 and vaccines and passports for a year. Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: How loaded is that statement? I don't know or care to know Nugent's thoughts on the issue. I don't deny that the virus they call Covid-19 exists. It just hasn't directly killed a single person yet. I'm going to bet that's Nugent's position too, and if that's the case and he ultimately doesn't die from it (which he won't) than this is a complete non story. But the media lies about everything and half the country is full of people who just love eating those shit sandwiches.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Medical vs Environmental Deaths The first thought experiment considers causes of death of two different kinds, and at first glance it may appear to be an entirely outrageous question to ask: If the 1.8 million deaths globally attributed to the SARS-CoV2 coronavirus in 2020 required and continue to require extreme measures, why do the 1.4 million global road fatalities every year not require anything but tiny incremental actions? What principle of action warrants immediate extreme action with significant unpredictable side effects in the case of (say) lockdowns, but no action at all in the case of the most deadly environmental health risks? Or to put this another way, why do medical causes of death utterly overshadow environmental health causes of death? Should they? If so, what principle is it that informs us that environmental causes of death don’t matter, while medical causes of death require action, even in cases with severe health (and mental health) consequences? Lung cancer could be substituted for the novel coronavirus, as it causes 2 million deaths annually and this prompts a variety of interventions in most nations; air pollution could be substituted for cars; it contributes to the deaths of some 7 million people... although cars are, of course, a major contributor to this.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Covid-19 appears perfectly engineered to destroy the houses of sand built by populist leaders. Narendra Modi poured scorn on experts and scientists who warned his country faced a "tsunami" of infection. Now the Indian Prime Minister is being harshly criticized for premature triumphalism amid a terrible surge that has people dying in the streets. Former US President Donald Trump's denialism appears to have cost tens of thousands of lives. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro fueled a disaster by rejecting Covid-19 countermeasures in favor of crank cures. UK PM Boris Johnson paid a heavy personal and political price for ignoring the threat of the pandemic early on. The pandemic is guaranteed to expose leaders who undermine truth, create alternative realities, ostracize experts and scientists and refuse to take precautions to keep the public safe. Earlier this month for instance, Modi boasted of huge rally crowds ahead of elections in West Bengal. His hubris in the face of the virus recalls Trump's refusal to give up rallies last year at which he boasted the virus was being driven out -- even as his crowds contributed to a building wave of lethal infections that winter. www.cnn.com/2021/04/26/world/meanwhile-in-america-populism/index.html The Joss Whedon script for Serenity, where Wash lives, is Serenity-190pages.pdf at www.mediafire.com/folder/1uwh75oa407q8/Firefly

Is solid." - Adelai Niska I think Niska tortures/kills to maintain his fierce reputation. If he was gentle, instead, his employees and contractors, such as the crew of Serenity, would steal from him, cutting into his profits. Niska didn't include in his calculations the cost of retaliation when he goes too far at maintaining his reputation. If Niska had been more magnanimous, by releasing Mal and Wash rather than just Wash, Niska could have avoided some unnecessary expenses and deaths.

Quote:Originally posted by 6ixStringJack: Half as many people die every single year from Tuberculosis as the fake Covid numbers claim to have taken in more than the last 12 months, and TB and its complications are the single cause of death that aren't just "borrowing" from other death pools. Smeed's law says that Americans don't give a single shit about that one because only about 500 of those deaths happen here.

Quote:Like my cat, I often simply do what I want to do. I am then not using an ability that only persons have. We know that there are reasons for acting, and that some reasons are better or stronger than others. One of the main subjects of this book is a set of questions about what we have reason to do. I shall discuss several theories. Some of these are moral theories, others are theories about rationality.

I agree on the moronic part. A moron is a moron is a moron. Morals, however, are subjective in many cases. Let me point you to part of that quote: "It is good to kill the babies especially. I am not thinking of this war but of the next one, 20 years from now. The next time the Germans start a war and we have to fight them, those babies will be the soldiers.” The UK has NOT been at war with Germany since 1945, so it was completely amoral to kill babies in preparation for a war that didn't happen. Derek Parfit put a bullet into the brain of people who mindlessly chirp "Morals, however, are subjective in many cases." Mammals and most every human will only have subjective feelings to guide them (and their subjectivity sure as hell shows in how ineffectively they live, work and die) but if you are a tiny bit smarter than a house cat or more mindful than the average person, you will have Parfit to show you that what feels right isn't notably right. https://libgen.unblockit.onl/search.php?req=Derek+Parfit Quote:Like my cat, I often simply do what I want to do.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.
