"Hitherto, man has been the man of the future in embryo, so to speak - all the forces for development in that direction can be found in him; and because the forces are prodigious, for the modern individual, the more he determines the future, the more he will suffer. This is the deepest view of suffering: the forces for development get in each other's way.

"We must not be deceived by the isolation of the individual - in truth, some tendency deeper than these individuals continuously runs through them. The individual may feel isolated, but that part of the process serves as the most powerful spur towards the most distant aims: it is his pursuit of his own happiness that tempers these forces and gives them coherence so that they do not destroy each other."

- §686, The Will to Power, Friedrich Nietzsche

@sim a certain amount of loneliness and isolation is necessary for individuals, i.e. those for whom conformity to the culture that surrounds them is not enough.

if you try to define your social relationships on those terms it's always going to be something of a vicious circle

@tri@digitalcourage.social @jwildeboer is argue there's more evidence for damage caused by the vaccines than damage caused by long covid, particularly amongst children

@jwildeboer might have something to do with the myocarditis and the fact that healthy children have little to fear from covid

@frankie No article (though a google search will come up with plenty). Its the new redflag law whereby background checks can no intrusively review your psychiatric history and reject your access to guns based on that.

Essentially if you are having psychological issues under no circumstances would you want to actually seek help now as it would get your flagged and you may not be able to exercise your right to gun ownership.

the main point I've heard is that the bodies were recent, not bloated as one would expect to them to be after several days of occupation

with little else to go on, the time line doesn't add up
