As we are heading into wildfire season, I'm probably going to need to pin this. I fully & completely understand the PM2.5/10 & VOC risks of wildfire smoke. I fully and completely understand that VOC's are not dramatically reduced by non gas-phase filtration. I also fully and.

is justifiable (or even more frighteningly required) or that's spreading disease is good for us. It's all forms of dealing with uncomfortable fundamental truths.

It's one of the strange gifts of engaging with absurdity. It can strip away pretense and show you how certain dynamics operate in a distilled form. When the reasoning is obviously broken. Whether that is believing that water can cure disease, that destroying our biosphere.

At a fundamental level this is all just ways to deal with the cognitive dissonance of the fundamental truth. Some of it is organic and some of it is deliberate and planned by bad actors, but all of it preys upon our need to resolve that cognitive dissonance.

There are many things like this now. A topic begins with a fundamental uncomfortable truth and then what follows is just a series of really quite bizarre justifications to obfuscate that truth.

All of these things are forms of coping with situations through the dissemination of disinformation. Anyway, quite a profound moment for me.

But the fundamental truth is that we are killing our biosphere by using them. Once you accept that fundamental truth the rest of it is meaningless & just floods of bizarre things to justify it. The exact same thing is true of ignoring the harms of the spread of covid.

they are destroying our biosphere. The only way we know that can support not only our species but life in general on this planet. That's the fundamental truth. Often we fall into traps talking about other things economics, who is worse than who, etc.

The reason why this conversation was so enlightening was that it made a light bulb go off in my head. This is fundamentally the same thing that goes on with fossil fuels and even the denial of the harms of the spread of covid. The fundamental truth of fossil fuels are that.

They had elaborate ways to avoid that significant fact. Literally hundreds of screenshots of snippets of pseudoscience studies that they would flood the conversation with when I tried to highlight the fact that they believe that drinking water can cure disease.

I had a pretty interesting exchange on another site the other day that really helps me to position things right now. This exchange was with a homeopath who believes that drinking water that has touched some substance can produce a medically significant impact.

I know I shouldn't be still gob struck, but I have to admit there are still times of lucidity where I'm shocked that the most powerful country on the planet has a sex offender, felon & general notorious lowlife scum as it's leader.
