I don't care so much for opinions; they are meant to change. But I do look for patterns that we might avoid suffering. With the scientific issue, it was understanding of statistics and confounders that allowed me to see the patterns of corruption in data.

To the social and political, understanding of some history allow me to see patterns and where they end if not changed.Fostering of selective outrage 2 distract from corruption is 'old-hat' 4 propagandists n has transformed #wokeism a movement meant 2 foster social justice, into one that resembles the raw material of 'cultural revolution' type genocide. This is terrifying.

Those on the left must question whether they are indeed serving compassion and their fellow man and not just their own outrage. Unfortunately I see too much anger and hatred stemming from the left as they are played for profit.

When the Tao is not heard
Virtue is revered

When virtue is lost
Intelligence governs

When ignorance shoves out intelligence
Authority reigns

When authority is inevitably thrown-off
Violence is king

Hermetically Sealed

how many waves
fear fear fear
will you swallow
before you drown
in isolation

avoid the sun
the unavoidable
microscopic

you claim to love diversity
do you really ...
do you understand
it does not end
with the minute

fear fear fear

hide under
your bed
with the dust bunnies
carnivorously fanged
Angora-clad rodents
bubonic or pneumatic
hard to tell
until you sneeze
it's just allergies
really ...

tell that to the masked mob
who know that you know
nothing about science
what's that
you know the difference
between a nanometer
and micrometer ...
how water works
savage

facebook told them
you hate grandma too

I talked to your Nana
she sure is depressed
dying alone and afraid
malnourished on a diet
of prison gruel
her last Christmas
spent in her cell
zoomless

either way
these yarns
needle and knit
a billion-dollar
sweater vest

I'll hermetically
seal
the bill
it's on your tab

you should have spent
more wisely

YOU ... Me
could have
healed
the world
instead

fear fear fear

is now airborne
and the running tally
endless

fear fear fear ... fear fear fear... fear fear fear

From Opiated Lyrics by Gordon Downie ...

Well, the medicine man started seeing red
You think the snake just dreams up the poison in his head
Well, addicted to approval, addicted to the air
It was see if you like it or see you on up there
