Counterpoint: I hate this stuff. I hate this subject, I hate the topic, I hate the field. None of it is ‘cool’ to me. I deeply resent everything I’ve been made to ‘know’ about it, every sloppy lazy log-linear-regression-based social science paper I’ve read, every ‘CDC guidance’.https://twitter.com/politicalmath/status/1379320073228148743 …

I don’t very much care about the virus beyond a few basic facts which were ascertainable as early as Feb20, and never have. It is nothing but an imposition on me & mine because of policies I consider misguided and morally illegitimate, fully outside of the social contract.

Everything since, for over a year, that I’ve been made to ‘know’ or ‘learn about’ because of this ‘cool stuff’, has only been under duress and out of desperation and impotent despair for the future of my children growing up under evil authoritarian policies I despise.

The despair is ultimately impotent cuz the policies aren’t based on actual science, aren’t open to logical rebuttal, rational counterargument. They are based on the power of mass movements & delusions, of witch hunts & sacrificial rituals. ‘Knowing’ has got nothing to do with it
