I had a convo with someone I've known forever... they said
"Yeah, it's sad people died of covid, but whatever, there's too many people on the plant anyway".
Then goes on to say something about their kids & grandchildren being fully vax'ed"
It was really difficult to come up with a response (that would be heard) I just said "imaging saying that to the three little kids and their Mom that lost their Dad over a false covid test, who was terrified, sedated and killed on a vent"
There was no response, I don't know if it got through... I avoid being around them now.
Each of you gets close - this is bigger as far as a paradigm.
There are psychologically 2 types of minds:
Convergent Thinkers:
It generally means the ability to give the "correct" answer to standard questions that do not require significant creativity, for instance in most tasks in school and on standardized multiple-choice tests for intelligence.
Divergent Thinkers:
Divergent thinking is a thought process or method used to generate creative ideas by exploring many possible solutions. It typically occurs in a spontaneous, free-flowing, "non-linear" manner, such that many ideas are generated in an emergent cognitive fashion. Many possible solutions are explored in a short amount of time, and unexpected connections are drawn. Following divergent thinking, ideas and information are organized and structured using convergent thinking, which follows a particular set of logical steps to arrive at one solution, which in some cases is a "correct" solution.
This isn’t a hard set. It’s done through Operant Conditioning:
Operant conditioning (or instrumental conditioning) is a form of learning in which an individual's behavior is modified by its consequences
& Applied use of the Skinnerian Method:
The work of Skinner was rooted in a view that classical conditioning was far too simplistic to be a complete explanation of complex human behavior. He believed that the best way to understand behavior is to look at the causes of an action and its consequences. He called this approach operant conditioning.
So the idea is Educators and Society itself rewards Convergence - Not Divergence. Divergence is a risk for the bold thinking. For us.
They are. I'm hoping they find their way. It's pretty out of character-- unless it's me and I never saw that ruthless side. But I'm usually pretty good at spotting haters and liars.
should've said: "imagine if that was you who died and i was the one laughing and saying what you just said about you, and in front of your wife & kids"
You spoke what was on your mind while being respectful, it is the most you can do for people who do not want to listen. It is entirely up to them if they have an honest, open mind or not.
For what it's worth, I think you did the right thing!

It's exactly this! And I'm now being held off at arms length by them.
Just short meaningless conversations/texts. It's the beginning of the ghosting process I think.
I’m with you on this, sadly.
They must be a really close Friend to say something like that to you. That’s not a thought I’d share with anyone if I had it.
People who share that kind of thought are cloaked in self-righteousness, and have no clue how they sound to others.
Very likely. That or they also think you share similar opinions. And/or they’re really dumb.

maybe the stress of everything brought out the darker side..... hopefully its just a momentary lapse.

They'd say 'when it's time to go for me to go; I'm fine with that (I'm sure they def will not be when it's their time). They've said that before.
But if something happens to their beautiful grandkids.... they will not be able to deal with it. They are so deluded and brainwashed.
So sad & disturbing from someone I've known for decades as kind & caring.

My first reaction was "F You'" and to pull over & leave them on the side of the road. Lol.... I paused and sent up a Emergency prayer...
Ya know the paintings with Jesus' hand on Trumps shoulder? The one for me would have His hand over my mouth. 😂
Ok that's funny🐸
Other people need to die in order to save the planet, not anyone related to him. Got it.
Is that guy you know Klaus Schwab or Bill Gates?
