Right now everyone sensible is staying home and spending extra time online. This means that right now the progressive egregore is working on the messaging problem from the corona virus as if their lives depended on it - because they do. 1/x

This isn’t about the “open borders” that the right critiques. It’s about human travel and trade, which we can’t abolish, only suspend temporarily to prevent spread. Stop trying to get everything to fit your narrative.

My point is that those things have always existed and I don't see them going away. Neither are necessarily essential, but they are now and likely won’t end. Recall that plagues spread across the world in more “traditional” eras too.

With 21st century information technology, plagues shouldn't spread - look at Singapore's web portal for why. The problem is that Americans (rightly) can't trust USG or any democratic government to not abuse them using that capacity.

Sure, the border closures could have been more decisive and vigorous based on the information infrastructure we have, and part of the reason they weren’t is progressivism. But I suspect that the biggest reason was the influence of institutions that rely on globalization.

"Institutions that rely on globalization" don't have a hold on the minds of every decision maker in USG - progressivism does This guy isn't secretly getting an envelope full of cash - he's a sincere religious believer. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/27/opinion/china-wuhan-virus-quarantine.html …

I personally think economic dependencies have more influence than cultural beliefs. More restricted borders would impede the flow of people, but at the same time, border closures are reactive and will always have holes because of economic interdependencies.

Cooperation is a hard problem and cohesion around belief is more powerful than cohesion around making money - as is demonstrated daily by corporations failing to prevent woke employees costing them money through prog virtue signalling.

In most cases it’s a money maker since cultural progressivism is now a norm.

Disney costs themselves billions because their employees would rather get woke points than make money for Disney. Gillette cost itself massive amounts of market cap because the CEO would rather have woke points than money - what's money when you have that much anyway?
