I’m just gonna laser focus on this because I think this is the sentiment that the rest derives from. I don’t think most people are supposed to interpret this. It’s a complex multi-actor system with legal entanglements and public health issues at play. Decisions like this are made by teams of dozens with hundreds of years of collective experience. As a person who delegated through taxes to people with this experience, my job is to hear the advice, not to try to pick flaws towards a predetermined world view.
People haggle more with public health people than they would a roofer and I can damn right guarantee you that 99% of people know way more about roofing than these complex issues. The other 1% work in these government/ngo positions.
- AnimalMuppet 6y agoThe question is, do those on the team of dozens, with hundreds of years of collective experience, also have a predetermined world view? Probably, in at least some cases. Does that influence their decisions? How could I tell? But when you see "anti-lockdown protests are bad, epidemiologically, but anti-police protests are fine", it sure looks like their world view is coloring their decisions, because their decisions look insane.
