Hey! Things have been going pretty good! I've just been busy trying to keep up with the home life lately :) How are things going with you?
Yes she actually said that, and I agree if it is complete strangers it's best to meet in a public place. In this case we met at a mutual friends house and we got to know each other a little and she was expressive that she liked me, so it came as a bit of a shocker to hear that.
Although I agree about the public places thing, when it comes to meeting people online these days we have tools now like facetime video chats and can spend quite a bit of time chatting on a video before ever meeting, which is a pretty good format to get to know someone because you're both in the comfort and safety of your home. I've had a pretty high level of success with getting women to come over for dinner, but then again all of those successful dating experiences turned out to be failures in the end so maybe I should try it a different way.. lol
I actually think these events are intended to make us think that even people we know are potentially murderous. If someone is a bit off, we will avoid them and perhaps even turn them in via red flag laws. We are being turned against each other, by ridiculous means, not the least of which is political.
Our brains are not hardwired to be operational on a global social network, because we instinctively only engage with a couple hundred people maximum for a lifetime if we are to be in our natural setting.
This is important to consider, because our brains cannot really compute millions of other people in a way that is logical, we tend to macro focus down to the natural constructs of how our brain operates for large numbers.
In our natural element, a murderer on the loose equates to the small tribe of people being in danger, but twenty miles away could be another tribe and all is well with no threat level present at all.
In this unnatural global social system we equate the danger to being a neighbor, a coworker, a relative, etc.. when the danger is not realistic and not present.
It's a way to create mass psychosis and delusion, and it's very effective unfortunately.
