Greetings care-worn and fragile, wish I had better news but the 'new normal' takes a considerable while to adjust to. Right now you are content just to be counted among the survivors (even if that is only temporary.)
What will this lesson in fragility teach those in power? While in the thick of it, diseases are frightening departures from the norm yet when viewed through the wider lens of history disease has been a constant threat to all social creatures.
So despite living the last century under the delusion that hygiene and medicine had halted the threat posed by biological agents, what we are currently experiencing is by no means 'new'.
What's 'broken' (besides your mind) you may be wondering? Some of the 'think tanks' have suddenly taken to attacking the 'dismal science' for being what it is, fakery.
Economics and its underpinnings are all predicated on a lie.
Do you know what that falsehood is? [Yes, you do but you have been taught to ignore it so that is what you do!]
All economic theory is based on the absurd notion that humans act 'rationally'.
The reality at work here is humans are gullible in ways that can't be quantified. You have been trained to believe bullshit your entire life (and most of you know it!)
How can this be? You know you are being fed a line and you still go along with it?
Not as 'unseemly' as it appears, is it? It's all about alternatives and the grimness of reality. Life is tough and most of us do whatever it takes to avoid that reality.
You despise me for holding a mirror but you despise what the mirror shows more.
Nothing changes until you change it.
Can't take the grimness out of reality but we can use it to make the most of our time here.
Life AS IT SHOULD BE is much finer than the cowardly avoidance we are forced live by the liars who promise to spare us reality's pain for a price.
How much shit do you have to shovel before you realize there is no pony?
Let the liars shovel their own shit, you have living to get on with!
Happy Friday, Head. I hope that you can do something with your 'new' marching orders.

3 things people hate, cameras, mirrors and the truth. One must be brave to deal with the truth.
