Am very glad a covid vaccine has a real chance.
“Little bottle of hope” for saving humans and creating prosperity for more (groan, yes, more humans are needed now eh).
That being said, I am actually very bitter going back to the new-normal, with a lot of skepticism.
Seed of the Lemon
The root of my problem is that the new-normal is just the old-abnormal and that pre-covid life was not that great anyway we were just pretending it was.
We were always already living on the edge of collapse: environmental, economic, war, societal, or technological.
It could be just the human condition of suffering manifesting as our numbers increase.
Or perhaps it is because external life is like a series of repressed moments to money, time, social embarrassment and pain.
Will life go back to normal? Not in my opinion, because human life was never normal. It is completely out of sync with the nature.
The only thing normal will be: moving on to the next self-made, human-made, mind-made problem.
Questions
Does the fact the vaccine uses nano-tech bother anyone? Shouldn’t it?
How is its use justified without a pandemic?
What if it creates a super-super bug or mutates?
What if COVID-19 is really a super bug already?
What is plan-B if a vaccine does not help?
Does global population and sustainability bother any one? Why do we not talk about it?
Does the vaccine have an effect on the environment? What scenarios would play out to mitigate any?
How much will it cost? Does it have inequality implications (only the rich get it)?
Does the political timing of the vaccine bother anyone (could it have been sooner than a democratic nominee elected in US)?
Going Forward
Nanotechnology is still a technology we know nothing about in the human body.
The general public has a history of being ignorant to the consequence of their actions in the face of immediate need.
Nano technology has greater potential to destroy than the atomic bomb, yet greater potential for the benefits of humanity than the digital revolution.
A full-fledged nano-society will polarize the heaven and hell duality or inequality but will be to powerful to sustain any conflict.
So I worry about opening pandora’s box while there is so much unconsciousness.
Conclusion
- Nano-tech is not to be taken lightly at all.
- I still don’t trust the US, corporations, or any other collective ego driven by profit.
- Normal life sucks whether its new-normal, new-new-normal or just abnormal.
- Pandemics, super bugs, global population and un-sustainability will continue.
- The only way is the hard way with unconscious people.
