- C. S. Lewis
Please indulge me that somewhat lengthy quote, but I find it very applicable to recent history. Since COVID we seem cursed by those in positions of power who apparently feel they know better for us than we do for ourselves. And they appear quite certain of themselves indeed.
Follow the science! Not that science which clearly states that there are only two genders and that human women have human babies of course. Well established criteria are noxious and foreign to them while concepts rushed and obviously in flux (Do masks make a difference or not? Will the vaccine keep me from getting the disease or not?) are beyond criticism. That's precisely how they try to shove us into a box, treating us like 'infants, imbeciles, and domestic animals'. I suspect, however, like Ernst Blofeld and his cat, they treat their animals with greater respect.
Or are we just, and by just I mean only, animals to them? That's my great fear. Are we nothing more than creatures who might, who must, who can only be, ordered about because they, the faux scientists and very real gender benders, know best, have cornered truth? It is a scary thought. Are they 'omnipotent moral busybodies' whose hubris will not, cannot allow them to consider that they may be wrong? If so, they are exactly the wrong types of people to be in government or the Centers For Disease Control. Or running Facebook and Twitter.
Their very kindness stings with intolerable insult. My dear Mr. Lewis, you certainly do know how turn a phrase.
