The idea that people who take significant Covid precautions must be introverts is offensive as hell.
It’s ableist as hell. Performers, Organizers, the biggest extroverts in the world were forced to give up careers because other people wouldn’t mask. We do it because we still can’t afford COVID.

Ich vermute, ein alte, weiße Männer und Frauen finden es super, wenn Informationen über für sie selbst nervige Leute per Knopfdruck automatisiert zusammengeführt und schick visuell dargestellt werden können und die Polizei will das eh.

Because we get asked a lot.
The Technological Republic, in brief.
1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation.
2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible.
3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed.
6. National service should be a universal duty.
We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost.
7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commi

8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive.
9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret.
10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed.
11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice.

12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.l. is set to begin.
13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect.
But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet.
14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren
— have never known a world war.
15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese

Ein Softwareunternehmen ruft öffentlich zur Errichtung einer neuen Weltordnung auf, garniert mit Positionen, die man nur rechtsextrem nennen kann.

Diese Software hat in deutschen Behörden NICHTS verloren.

Meinst du, dass vielleicht auch deswegen die Bundestagswahl vorgezogen wurde? Damit den Bürgern nicht klar wird, dass der Abbau der Demokratie ein Vorbild hat?

Babies with COVID-19 develop more serious disease than those with RSV, US data reveal

Es gibt kein danach. Die Pandemie läuft auch ohne Medienberichte und temporäre Schutzmaßnahmen weiter. Neugeborene und Kinder sind auch weiterhin die am meisten hospitalisierte Bevölkerungsgruppe. Reinfektionen fördern die Entstehung von chronischen Krankheiten und Long Covid bei Ki+Ju.

"These findings are highly concerning. The accepted definition of a rare disease is one case in 2000 people. The NZHS Long Covid prevalence is more than a hundred times greater than this. Hence, Long Covid is a burden that needs its own health-service resources."

Nachdem das mit Covid so super funktioniert hat und alle jetzt einfach mehr, länger und nicht selten für immer krank sind, wird die Taktik eben auch sonst durchgezogen. Man muss nur die richtigen Experten fragen und nicht die Falschen! /s

Ich fordere eine Debatte über die Nutzung der Spahn bestellten Masken im Gesundheitswesen. Angestellte werden mehr krank, weil eine Pandemie ignoriert wird und der Arbeitsschutz miserabel ist. Das Wissen um luftübertragene Krankheiten existiert, nur nicht in den entsprechenden Leitlinien.

Claims and ideas which happen to favour the ruling class don't dominate public life by accident. They're paid for by oligarchs and corporations then promoted by media outlets other oligarchs and corporations own. Once they've been drummed into our ears enough, they're internalised as "common sense".

Einerseits ist das irgendwo eine Klassenfrage, andererseits auch etwas, was man lernen kann. Nehme auch an, dass viele Menschen vielleicht innerlich nicht so komplex sind, wie z. B. ich und den entstandenen Raum mit anderem füllen können, während ich einfach schon froh bin, wenn ich meine Ruhe hab.

Gehört tatsächlich für viele dazu. Hilft auch, sich nach außen hin interessant zu machen und bietet einen guten Einstieg und Füller für Gespräche. Ich verreise wenig, früher aus Geldgründen, heute auch Klima, Tourismusfolgen, Covid und werde mittlerweile fast nie gefragt, wie mein Urlaub war 🤷‍♀️

Naja, wer in einer laufenden Pandemie, lediglich der Notstand wurde beendet, den Arbeitsschutz nicht verbessert, der sorgt eben dafür dass krank arbeiten gegangen wird. Aber hey, Hauptsache ihr könnt wieder ohne Maske einkaufen gehen etc. und dürft dabei alle anstecken. Prioritäten – so wichtig!
