Biologist Bret Weinstein's concise perspective — regarding the 'forces' involved in manufacturing humanity's COVID-19 disaster

Explanatory introduction

 

My blog is written for bright, thoughtful people.

 

It assumes a willingness on reader's parts to investigate phenomena, with the intention of seeing beyond propaganda and mind control.

 

Ordinarily, I try to synopsize my points — so as to lessen unnecessary intrusions upon readers' time and patience.

 

However, today, I link to an extended, yet concisely brilliant, take on the disaster that the West's COVID-19 response became.

 

Biologist Bret Weinstein's below-cited replies to interviewer Freddie Sayers' questions are too carefully and intricately constructed for me to dishonor by extracting and summarizing.

 

Part of the lesson in what Weinstein says, is the measured and intellectually penetrating way in which he says it.

The moral? — Causation is not always obvious — and insightful explanations of it matter

 

Views regarding the nature and structure of Malevolence (for instance) depend upon the world experience of the perceiver.

 

I mention this because it constitutes Caitlin Johnstone's core point about Propaganda's grip on most people's minds.

 

Dr. Weinstein, according to his own implied admission, only came to recognize the scope of human intellectual malevolence, when it was directed at his thoughtful criticisms of COVID policy.

 

And still today, he remains cautious about attributing Malignity to the Establishment's disastrous COVID handling.

 

 

Even though, statistically speaking, it would be difficult to generate such an organized wave of unresearched (wildly profitable) tomfoolery to account for the magnitude of the disaster that the developed world's COVID response turned into.

 

 

On an intellectually and systemically pertinent note, I am less reluctant than Weinstein (seems to be) to see Evil lying in the rubble of what happened and continues to occur.

 

This, I hypothesize, is because I was subjected to 'the malign' from early childhood on. Varied occupational experiences afterward continued this exposure.

 

Weinstein's interview with Freddie Sayers is interesting, in part, because it demonstrates what a disadvantage well-meaning — but arguably experientially naive — people are in dealing with Human Malevolence's surprisingly well-developed forces.

 

This is societally important because influential people in our American culture tend to come from, or belong to, economically insulated ranks. What is obvious to those of us in society's Rabble Dregs is not — at least not immediately — apparent to them.

 

I especially prize Weinstein's carefully explained thinking because of his cognitive brilliance's ability to rationally dissect what is happening and to deduce what is, most probably, its causes.

 

And interviewer Sayers ably models the perspectives of the well-intentioned — 'but they meant well' — excuse-making naif.

 

Sayers' questions afford Weinstein the stage to explain (a) how everything turned to shit and (b) what might have been the causes of that literally murderous outcome.

 

In short, Weinstein connects the 'dots' that those of us, who are already accustomed to dealing with The Nasties, unwarrantedly assume should be obvious to anyone.

 

Superbly done. And worth thinking people's time.
