I am coming to the belief that the main difference between those who are awake and those who are woke is the ability (or lack thereof) to project a particular course of action into the future and perform a proper risk analysis.
What's the point of being 'allowed' to do 'x' when it compromises your health?
Weren't we always told that our health is the most important thing in the world? 'If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything'
"... to project a particular course of action into the future and perform a proper risk analysis."
If I bump into people I now ask a few questions.
If they travel, they probably have vaxxed. Confirm.
Do you know what is going on Down under?
How about in Canada? UK, France, Isreal?
So far; yes, then blank stares.
People really have no idea of what is going on. Big Tech created confirmation bubbles years ago. Now they are actively removing targeted negative articles. Same with science publications like the Lancet, others are rejected science articles. All that plus the "new varients", people are avoiding the news and really have no idea the state of the world right now.
I am also thinking about lying. "Did you see so and so's down in Melbourne? It is the best version of XYZ I have ever watched. So inspiring." Maybe they would stumble onto the truth after that.
