The Cosmopolitan Globalists get on a Zoom call and ask themselves, “So, what are we doing here?” We also ask why Piero’s friend, a fully-qualified engineer, believes the earth is flat, and we adopt Vivek’s turtle as our mascot—all the way down. Some of you wrote to me yesterday to ask, “Why can’t I listen to the podcast?”
Vivek's former boss who now works for a Hindu nationalist paper must be around 60 years or older. There are way too many educated and internationally experienced people of that age group all around the world who have now joined the new tribalism for Social Media to be the main explanation for this phenomenon. Not that I have a better explanation, but to me it is obvious that it can't be that one.
What good audio editing (moderate, but I think clearing distractions & sharpening the focus). The podcast version of this Zoom conversation turned out better / more engaging than I'd expected! Hat-tips. It's a promising start to the *podcast facet* of the nascent Cosmopolitan Globalist manifestation.
I must make, here, one CORRECTION to a film reference that I made late in the Zoom discussion. I'd referred to "The Social Network." Actually, that title references a 2010 documentary about Facebook (available, e.g., via Amazon). But that's not what I intended to point to. Instead, I was thinking of the new -- and more provocative -- documentary, THE SOCIAL DILEMMA (2020) -- which can be seen, e.g., via Netflix.
Here's a YouTube trailer for that ponderous work.
Highly recommended viewing. Hold onto your dystopian hats.
I have a friend who had an adverse reaction to a flu shot a couple of years ago which was significant enough to report it through the CDC bureaucracy. Her brother just died of COVID in a facility where she was his power of healthcare and she was terrified watching her brother die. Yet, I know, she will not become a NON VAX er. So, what are the precipitating factors, life experiences that bring people to NON VAX?
I am thinking about writing a newsletter and not sending it out to your subscribers? Is it truly incompetence or is it something more subtle, more unconscious within the depths of the psyche. Could it be lack of confidence in the writing of the newsletter? Could it be wanting to incubate the newsletter for a while? Many people write and do not immediately publish. So, I do not think it is merely incompetence.

On the other hand, there are many people who go to WaPo and NY Times as their gold standards even with the missteps the Times has had.

Experimenting with new technology by humans? Why do not so many see the problems of Facebook? I found Claire on Twitter. https://t.co/mkTcG7jGMt?amp=1
