You touch upon a larger issue.

I wasn't that upset in the first year of the pandemic over the stuff I missed out on, other than normal human emotion of missing things. After all, it's nature. We had no control. No different than having your life turn sideways if a natural disaster hit your area.

But now, at this time of the pandemic, we do have absolute control over our destiny, and can overcome nature. I repeat that again. We turned the tables. We have the control. But absolute morons want to concede that control and give it back to nature. Why? That's why I have such contempt towards the unvaccinated. For once, humans can control nature, and you're ****ing it away.

This is a good point. Maybe one which every space-faring species eventually faces. Insofar as you eliminate other predators you develop the instincts that will cause you to destroy yourselves. Then, insofar as you come to control your environment you develop the technology that will allow you to destroy yourselves.

The only way out of that box is to engineer the instincts out now that you don't need them anymore. So you create civilization. Then it's a race between how quickly you civilize and how quickly you technologize. If civilization wins the stars are yours. If technology wins you leave a smoking crater.

It comes down to kindness / compassion / inclusion vs fear / greed / tribalism. But the latter enjoy all the advantages of violence so the former have to be very, very careful.

Fighting the Nazis is somewhat analogous. How do you deal with the intolerant when you are tolerant, and the vicious when you are gentle?

It's not that you develop the instincts. It's that the instincts you biologically have to discern such dangers to you atrophy.

Life gets too comfortable, too easy, you get lazy, you are no longer exposed to danger and predators every day, and so your instincts that warn you of such, your basic survival instincts and skills, just wither away, generation after generation, until they no longer exist.

I've said it before, our forebears went from one side of this continent to the other with nothing but the stars to guide them. Now we can't find milk in the supermarket.

Except this is YOU NEED ME ON THAT WALL bullsh-t.

Don't buy into this narrative. Bad. Bad rufus! Bad!

I'm not talking about toughness, I'm talking about cruelty.

Did you feel for the doctors and nurses who had to treat the original AIDS patients as well? The problem was very quickly traced to the source and could have been easily prevented, no? Not preventable?

How about the doctors and nurses who treat today's overdose patients? Many of these patients are saved over and over again with narcan? I guess this is not preventable either?

How about the doctors and nurses treating UNvaccinated migrants who show up, aren't tested and then released into YOUR hometown unbeknownst to anyone? Feel sorry for them? Is that exposure not preventable?

Sorry, but can't be throwing stones like this and not look at some easy counter examples.

I'm at the point of my life where I want to and can start taking those dream trips I always wanted to take. And you will appreciate what those trips I want to take are -- Monza, Spa, Le Mans, Singapore, Macau. I don't want to miss out on those because of horribly selfish people. That's where my contempt it.

Remember that the horribly selfish people keeping you from going to Monza were the infected chinese business people in the fashion production world who traveled to Italy in the early days spreading the wuhan virus. This happened directly in Milan. If you want to place blame for not being able to see the Variante Ascari at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza, then at least place it in the proper place.

If you are vaccinated and show the card, I think you can travel to Europe. Get your Lira and go - arrivederci!

I definitely have lots of contempt for anyone who is willfully ignorant of basic science.

So you have contempt for African-Americans? Keep seeing Dumpies, rednecks, in-breds and other undesirables as you say constantly in this thread, being the ONLY ones not getting vaccinated. How do you explain the large percentages of African-americans not getting the jab? YOU are saying they are really dumpies, rednecks, in-breds and undesirables?

YOU are a racist!!

Look Dershowitz is an Epstein loving Trump Humper whose relevance died years ago and is just trying his best to hang on...but watching Goebbels Barbie try and argue with him is just painful.

The best two points in the clip are when she gets all whiny and defensive cause she "didn't go to Harvard!!!1!" and when she is looking off camera cause her producer is telling her to get out of the segment cause she looks like a fool and he isn't towing the line.
 
I saw some stories about places advertising the vaccine "with maximum discretion."

The Right are such cowards.

But this will lead to a great new pina colada song.

When you are a bigger as-shat than Alan Dershowitz you need to reconsider your life trajectory.

We need a Dershowitz and Giuliani Thunderdome.
