This recent bit of news had me asking myself some rather strange questions, once I accepted (arguendo) one of the hidden premises, namely ensoulment.
Well, I’m back to sort-of normal.
[Warning: Accidents and Horrible Death, not graphic]
After I’ve watched a bunch of videos on youtube of Russian tanks getting variously blown up and shot at, the algorithm appears to have decided I’m a nasty person and has started feeding me all kinds of things that blown up, crashed, and otherwise disastrously killed passengers. This one really caught my eye.
I’m a bit over the moon, if not “at the Lagrange Point” about this.
The US Navy could not tolerate having the British get ahead in the “flinging F-35s overboard” TikTok fad that appears to be emerging, so they did one too. It’s a dangerous fad and people get hurt.
I learned about this because it was mentioned on the Unintended Consequences podcast.
I have added this one to my Recommended Reading List [stderr] – it’s been what’s been occupying my head for the last week, as I’ve been listening to the audiobook on scramble/repeat just because I was so captivated by the material.

The question of where COVID-19 came from is of scientific interest, mostly, but unfortunately it has been politicized and used with racist overtones, e.g.: Trump’s calling it “the Chinese virus.” The worst part of it, to my mind, is that the ‘edgy’ branches of the media are also digging into the story in search of some kind of conspiracy angle, which is going to serve to further fuel less-disciplined conspiracy theories. This shit-show is going to continue for the forseeable future.
