Make us go to Galt's Gulch? I think bubbling society is the future. We need to aim for this. But not physical barriers, electronic. IE your phone tells you if this is a pro or anti expert cafe. Where to sit on public transport, even what path to walk. At an extreme, ideally this time last year when experts told people to not wear masks, those who chose to not believe them would within our internal world become like an Asian country and have kept it at bay while the society around us burned. Bubbles don't interact at all. But that's fantasy with the current structure. That said, although I don't want to associate with people who believe in experts, but I also know the alternative might not be better, I would lose a lot of friends. Bubbling will make people chose between ideals and reality.

"Experts" didn't really tell people not to wear masks. A small number of political bodies did, but the scientific consensus was pretty clear right from the start. In fact, even those who said not to wear masks argued it from the point of view that those masks should be allocated to medical workers because of a shortage, not that they didn't work.

  That's where we disagree, that's not the reality I lived and that's a fundamental part of my belief system. I do agree to the physical separation you talked about, but it's simply not possible. Seasteading costs are so high you/I won't be able to pick our friends. I do think the way forward is intermixed lives where we could share roads for instance but never connect. I think that's possible in the future. But as yet we can't even achieve it electronically, case in point :)
