Now I don't know, but I been told It's hard to run with the weight of gold

Other hand I have heard it said It's just as hard with the weight of lead

The Grateful Dead above (prescient name isn’t it) and Covid below and we walk on clouds on Middle Earth certain in our Kantian arrogance that our rational ability alone holds absolute truth. The Jewish thinker, Irving Greenberg, cites the problem of modernity with its belief in the "secular absolute." He explains how the loss of a sense of transcendence and ultimate values, issued in the modern ethos of decadent thinking and living, contributed directly to the arrival of the Holocaust. Greenberg blames secular humanism and moral relativism for their pretensions of a value-free science and objectivity that "created unparalleled power," but weakened the moral limits of the "secular city." Thus the "Lord of Science and Humanism" was erected idolatrously for the "Lord of History and Revelation," and with devastating consequences. Similar to Berdyaev, Greenberg considers this modern scientifically-based ethos the alternative to a Judaeo-Christian ethic and worldview. Berdyaev explains that this modern scientific ethos has displaced the organic and hierarchical view of life of the Medieval period, which, despite its many problems, maintained (in part) an integral view of humanity in relationship to God and the cosmos.

Spartacus concludes:

“There needs to be a public conversation about synthetic biology and neurotechnology, right now, and there need to be policies enacted that strictly define international and binding limits for its use. If not, then the human beings of the future will inevitably be reduced to engineered products.”

This is not a joke. It is not a drill. Humanity is on the brink of losing what it means to be human. When Klaus Schwab talks about how the Fourth Industrial Revolution is going to change YOU, he means exactly that: chemically, biologically, physically. But, he is only pointing to the mad science practitioners who are advancing synthetic biology in relative anonymity.

Dowd’s 2022 U.S. Vaccine Damage Report4 revealed a sobering glimpse into the true carnage that occurred at the hands of the COVID-19 shot campaign, and its results are striking. 300K Excess Deaths, Millions of Injuries, Billions in Costs

Madhava Setty who writes An Insult to Intuition wrote today regarding attendeding the 23rd World Vaccine Congress in Washington DC. This is what I saw and heard...

General impressions

• The majority of attendees truly believe they are doing the right thing.

• The majority of attendees look no further than recommendations from agencies of public health to guide their opinions. In other words, they fully believe COVID-19mRNA (and other) vaccines are exceedingly safe and have saved millions of lives.

• Beyond members of the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee (VRBPAC) and officers from the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA), few, if any, are aware of vaccine trial and post-marketing observational data around COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy.

• The keynote speakers and expert panel moderators who raised the topic of “vaccine hesitancy” were dismissive of those who managed to avoid vaccination and were openly contemptuous of those who encouraged others to do the same.

• Except for a few instances, the tone of the presentations and round table discussions were collegial. Aside from the pointed questions that Mumper and I were able to pose, there were no open hints that any of the attendees questioned the conventional narratives around the COVID-19 pandemic response.

• One-on-one exchanges revealed encouraging signs that not everyone there has bought the conventional narratives around the pandemic.

• Calls for public-private “partnerships” were a common theme.

Chairman Mao, once upon a time, initiated the Four Pests Campaign as a move toward public hygiene, with the following considered as pests: rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows. Not too much of a reach that the Maoist massification of mankind is a steam roller.

In order to achieve apodicticity and avoid naturalism, Husserl maintains that the philosopher operate from an entirely different standpoint and so must suspend the natural attitude. What is this new standpoint and how is the natural attitude suspended? That will be the phenomenological reduction called Lingering Sanity. https://ko-fi.com/thejournaloflingeringsanity
