There are a handful of vaccines, so not much diversity. Like any species, the virus has a hive mind, or morphic field, that learns as it goes. The hundreds of millions of hosts with the same vaccine offers ideal training conditions for the virus. With those numbers, the virus is likely to find many successful mutations. The problem isn’t just that the mutations survive, it’s that all mutation

Things have changed drastically in a month. Hubby got the rona when it was kind of rare. What I think all of the fuss is about is better models. They know where the curve is headed before it gets there. It’s why they’ve been been beating the drum hard. Today’s national case count is 25% of the January peak and climbing fast. The virus could mutate around the vaccines, making them a feel-

I heard of this human sacrifice business in 1990 from a non-member. I would chalk it up to urban legend. The only way it would make sense is if some very wealthy non-Mormons paid serious bribes to rent the space for their rituals, but that doesn’t mean Mormons are doing sacrifices. It just means looking the other way for money, which would be a Mormon thing.

We went from “Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country” to “You should be ashamed to be white”. I have to admit I didn’t see that coming. I find the new totalitarianism rather chilling. Are we being prepared for a global China? Is Washington’s resistance to China merely political theater while we become them? Or is our mass psychosis more organ

I’m not a conservative, but this is some extreme straw manning. Conservatives may be crazy, but they’re not stupid. It’s this kind of underestimation that led to Trump. But politics aside, faith isn’t necessarily a fool’s paradise. I mean it probably is for a lot of people, but not for everyone. Just some fool’s opinion.

Good point. The church lies about a lot, such as the First Vision (never happened), Golden plates (a ruse by Joseph), the Book of Abraham (absolute BS according to real Egyptologists), and the persecution of the Saints (Mormons always started it).

None of Joseph’s contemporaries remembered him either telling of a vision or being persecuted because of it. It’s like someone saying their dog ate their homework when none of their friends have ever seen their dog. Joseph couldn’t keep his stories straight and in fact the first vision’s stated date was before the Smith family moved onto their farm. That’s how pathological liars roll

I was just thinking about this. The modern era is different from the pre-enlightenment world and its notion of ‘truth’. Religious truths are conveyed in stories. I think that was long understood. The pied piper and the naked emperor never existed either, but their stories illustrate important truths. They do so better than any historical example because the story is specifically tailored to t
