How much wit does a soul need? Mother wit enough? Covid is a mockery of religious faith and unwittingly dynamite for the Western foundation of science. Our civilization parodies itself. I doubt Quicksilver Messenger Service was on radio in NZ but it was a Bay Area band that hit big. One of my favorites songs by them --https://youtu.be/5LPPE-k4IDM

Just had a listen.

Unfamiliar, even to my husband who likes to know about these things.

Speaking personally I like the look of the band members.

Do you mean "dynamite" in that it has blown the credibility of science, or "dynamite" that it's given science a big booster, a shot in the arm so to speak?

Foundation. Masses won't change but politics might.

A friend says that he believes that science will save the world.

I will have a beer with him and see if I can prod him a bit.

Too much parody my friend.

Have you heard the joke about the inventors of the mRNA clotshots getting a No bell prize.

But, wait wasn't that what the Mal one invented?

Could cause a bit of a hullabaloo.

MARCEL- n every way, wisdom, in so far as it does not reduce itself to

mere sagacious counsel, tends to appear as something wholly

irreducible to knowledge - if not to knowledge in general, at any rate to

the knowledge which is expressed in empirical science. In fact it

seems that the more the sciences tend towards specialization, the

harder it becomes to find a link between them and that kind of intuitive

knowledge, a knowledge which is perhaps in same ways close to Art,

the art of living, which still deserves the venerable name of wisdom.

Things emerge rather as if each particular science, taken alone,

tended to barricade itself against the temptation felt by every layman

to encroach on human existence - and here I take the word

"existenee" in its contemporary meaning, whether it entails explicit

normative evaluations or not.

[A good example might be drawn here from medicine. Still at

the end of the nineteenth century and in the first years of this century,

a doctor, a medical man, was usually considered as a man whose

advice even outside the body state (physical condition) could be

valuable. One felt that the doctor had a certain survey of life which

enabled him to be wise. But so far as medicine has split into

specializations, this is no more the case. One would not usually think

that a cardiologist, for instance, a specialist of the heart or another

organ, kidney's if you like, would be entitled·to give wise adviee as to

the conduct of life. This of course may happen, but what I mean is that

connection between medical knowledge and wisdom which still

existed 50 years ago, now exists no Ionger. And this, I think, is an

important fact.]

BOMBSHELL: A report from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has revealed that a staggering 120,000 American children “DIED SUDDENLY” following the rollout of the mRNA Covid jabs.https://twitter.com/Resist_05/status/1709074838646931480?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1709074838646931480%7Ctwgr%5E6e7453dc8bb4e8483658292cbe32d07d4bd26169%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.godlikeproductions.com%2Fforum1%2Fmessage5538755%2Fpg1

Bombshell for sure.

They don't call it a shot for no reason.

A lot of parents need a big wise-up.

How much are parents being paid to put their child in these clotshot cocktail trials.

Beware the grim reaper's white coated mask

Empathetic angelic caring face

Why the blue gloves you fondly ask

Tis the blues for the human race
