I Lack Faith In Humanity For some years now, I have been less and less interested in...

"If you have to be persuaded, reminded, pressured, lied to, incentivized, coerced, bullied, socially shamed, guilt-tripped, threatened, punished and criminalized … If all of this is considered necessary to gain your compliance — you can be absolutely certain that what is being promoted is not in your best interest.” -Ian Watson-

"Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive." -C.S. Lewis-

You lack faith in yourself. Humanity is evolving as always. It's up to you to learn to adapt to your environment. Be the change you want to be in this society. It can better if you try. 🙂

I can see why your family would shun you. You're insufferable.

I don't see how any educated person could see anything but a terrible future for humans with the path they are on.
It's depressing as hell that I can't relate to anyone anymore. I find everyone just so incredibly disgusting.

You mentioned antibiotic resistence. Another thing I just learned from a top vaccine maker CEO the other day is vaccine resistence. Even if you don't count all the risks and problems with vaccines, you can form vaccine resistence to the adjuvants which is why they are constantly changing them up (which I'm pretty sure is resposible for a lot of allergies and immuno problems). This is one reason you can never have a covid vaccine. It's like having to get the flu shot every year. You would have to take a vaccine to each mutation of covid and continually take more vaccines. It's really not the long term solution.
And since people are so fking stupid to not use common sense and good hygiene, the only way out right now is millions of deaths until it works it's way through the system. Eventually covid will fade away but people are making it much much much worse than it should be because they are so selfish greedy, stupid and a dozen other terms as you were alluding to.

I worry about how society is heading. My small grandson is going to grow up in a world that is unsafe, ungovernable and unforgiving.

I was reading this morning about how a factory supervisor was hacked to death by two teenagers who tried to decapitae him with a samurai sword, and his wife when confronted with the killers in court, who were 18 and 16 years old, questioned, "How on earth have we come to this?"

Whatever held society together these past decades has began to unwind due to greed, ignorance, selfishness and violence. I believe society is hanging on a cliff edge, we know what needs to be done. Emissions can be reduced, inequalities levelled, environmenal degradation reversed and economies diversified. But as human beings, as in these youths who care nothing for the preciousness of life, show what the future holds.

The medical field is showing that young people can die from the corona virus too! 😯 Yes, 😔 morals, integrity, and respect for other peoples differences is disappearing. Maybe that's why this is happening, it's a time for reflection about what's really important to some of us.💕💙 I don't mind not being around lots of people at all. 🙂

You're in luck. Completely setting aside and forgetting the current health crisis, the internet makes it absolutely possible not to socialize with others.

For today's movie suggestion, I offer. "The Net" with Sandra Bullock
