“We have these sayings about ‘everything’ being connected. And, as usual, we have this backwards, because, fundamentally, there’s only one being. One thing. One.

So around here, ‘everything’ means living beings. And they are »more than merely connected.

So when something goes sideways in one place, it’s almost always the result of something going wrong in many other places.

Ergo: if you think you can solve that by making a drug to ‘fight’ a virus (that isn’t fighting)… well, you’re fundamentally confused.

You’re looking at a symptom, instead of its origins…

… and our species is famous for this because we simply want to pretend that something bad happened to us… instead of recognizing we’re in the causal position here.”
