I didn't see the Gnews / Dr Yan theory mentioned: COVID19 is part of a long-running CCP bioweapon unrestricted warfare program with benefits such as damaging open Western societies and providing pretexts for anti-dissident crackdo

Neither of those two words include passion, nor does your example. The argument from consensus is particularly weak when not averaged historically across the lives of the present generation, much less historically.

Dislike with passion? There are words for that: hate, despise, disdain, detest. "Darling, I like you with passion." Innocent errors of diction are de minimis; tiptoeing heresy emboldens orthodox bigotry.

Autism is correlated with advanced parental age. Perhaps that improves the evolutionary adaptiveness of a child with a systematizing mindset who will innovate long-term benefits. Consider it. What do old parents imply? Long life expectan

Free speech regimes fail and are replaced by those that censor, because censoring exercises power, whereas free speech exercises none. Thus people attracted to power will find some way to censor, and then to increase censorship. The except

There is no need to be the best, either. Look at an ecosystem. Do organisms need to try to be the "best"? Of course not. Businesses are similar to organisms. They compete in an ecosystem to convert syntropy to entropy.

This answer is facile, but missing: It takes so long to build software because it can. One can't construct a building forever. A novel is published and done. But software can be developed over its useful lifetime. Similar followup:

Unnecessary. If Facebook and Twitter wish to donate their monopoly market share to Alt-Tech, let them. They've already promoted the Trump effect via conservative info virality for years; the logical next step is to make conservatives

No problem. Regarding realness, you might want to compare the number of years it takes to move between socioeconomic classes in America versus the number of years it takes to evolve a distinct race of humans. Unity is a fine sentiment. L

I didn't say arming slaves was good. I said it was the only effective long-term solution to the problem of liberating slaves. The consensus here is anti-slavery, so I accepted that premise. The USA does permit minimum wage workers to

Democracy would require something like Facebook for frequent referendums. The USA and most Western countries (all?) have republics. Sometimes I wonder what functional modern organizations actually use democracy.

Reckless disregard for normal bioethics is likely what created and released novel COVID19 in the first place, and the "fast-tracked" vaccine is the same thing again. Just get a tan instead.
