Cracks
If our system can allow mistakes of this magnitude to occur honestly, then there is without a doubt more than enough room for cheating.
Joe Versus The Volcano
Lockdowns. Masks. More lockdowns. More masks. It’s the modern equivalent of throwing virgins into the volcano to appease the rain god.
Blood Calculus
It’s all about math, really. I call it “blood calculus”…the implicit or explicit process of balancing lives lost against the various things which make modern life possible. The reality is that our modern life (and let’s face it…all life) is not possible without a certain amount of death factored in.
