Since I've been writing this blog, I've stumbled over a couple succinct kernels of "truth". One of my favorites is that nature muddles along--and that's the best any person can do, too. I don't mean, by the way, muddling along is the limit of what we can do because we're flawed, I mean muddling is superior to modeled "perfection".
Currently, there's a documentary circulating the alt-media about Judy Milkovitz, who attacks Dr. Corona Fauci's character. She tussled with him early in her career while they were researching the AIDS. In the documentary, she's portrayed as the archetypal "persecuted whistleblower", which might partially be true, but it also seems like she just got caught up in some bureaucratic bullshit, nastiness at her lab research job. It seems like the people who work in virology and immunology are prone to psychopathy, or are extreme weirdo personality types.
Nobody is an "archetype". Her attempt to conform to that role, or the attempt of the documentary to portray her purely in that role is a lie. That doesn't mean the rest of what she says is false, by the way.
It's really quite weird that people have built-in idealism, distortion of reality as the default way to understand the world. It's why all our politicians are cretins, and why we have no accurate history.
