Every normalcy shift adds 1-10 hists, so we’re average about 15 hists per months right now, by my histometer. But it’s made in China and I think the CCP compromised it to underreport hist measures.

The re-opening is failing abysmally everywhere in the US. The rest of the world is not much better. The Chinese are either lying about the number of deaths, or the accumulating costs of keeping it low.

The cute shit is done. Mask porn season is done. Inspiring stories of clever hacks and adaptations fall flat now. We’re in the Valley now.

This is going to get a lot worse before it gets completely unbearable. The protests and riots weren’t taking over from the pandemic, they were the first outbreak of second-order consequences. Expect many more. There’s a second order effects case curve that needs flattening.

You’ve learned social distancing. Welcome to level 2: historical distancing. De-escalating the rate of hists by picking your battles carefully. Everything will seem more worth fighting over right now, but fighting all the fights at once is the definition of collapse.

Hobbesian conditions are not everybody vs everybody. That’s always true in some limited way. Honbesyy it am conditions = every fight being fought at the same time. Judgment day. All reckonings at once.

If we go down chances are we’ll take everyone else down with us. The US gave the rest of the world 19 rings of power which are what is keeping them going. The One Ring powers the rest and is headed to Mount Doom. Which is a bad thing in the non-LOtR world. twitter.com/noisysun/statu

Not to fear-monger but the world isn’t afraid enough of this. It’s not bravery to be unafraid because you’re underestimating a threat.

To what extent does the average person fail to realise how bad things can get? I guess those who read books about the Hobbesian state of life in 14th century France then are more aware than most :P
How much does this collective ignorance harm societal decision making?
