RE: Institutional Evil: Why it Will Ultimately Fail, and How to Defeat it.

in #news6 years ago

Do see my reply to @soo.chong163 regarding this topic on this very post. IIRC, when confronted with a drunken knife-wielding belligerent, my response was neither fight nor flight. I remember saying "So, you're gonna stick me because YOU have a big mouth."

I suspect you infer the same responses in others you see in yourself. I reckon that's inaccurate at best. I also know that society is using it's new technological abilities - to surveil, for example - profitably.

This is not gonna happen. It's already mostly happened, and we're still figgerin' out how it changed everything.

Sort:  

in that case you choose "fight", I suppose "go limp" or "play dead" is an option for possums but those are not typical human responses. Standing your ground and responding is a "fight" response even if you didn't start swinging.

You have really never heard of the flight or flight response?

Says the guy who believes there is a worldwide conspiracy to lie about the effectiveness of vaccines.

"... there is a worldwide conspiracy to lie about the effectiveness of vaccines."

Sigh. Is it impossible for you to not twist my words? Safe is not a synonym for effective. Profitable is not a synonym for scientifically superable.

Mocking my assailant is neither synonymous for fighting them.

Lies expose the truth they attempt to conceal when they are themselves exposed. I appreciate the opportunities you offer me to make that exposure facile. Please continue!

my bad, there is a worldwide conspiracy to lie about the safety of vaccines, is that better? To be fair you have often claimed that vaccines are not effective either.
