  1. Yeah let's abolish all medicine. Individual freedom is only granted to you by the existence of a collective in the first place. If you're willing to let it all burn to the ground, then there will be no freedom anyway.
  2. I did not order this red herring, sir. People are free to go around ignoring their own health as long as it doesn't hurt other people. Viruses hurt other people. This is the argument. Sure, maybe if people were more healthy, it would lead to a marginally higher overall resistance against COVID-19, thus it would technically hurt less people, but which lane are you then choosing?: increased COVID-19 fatalities or decreased COVID-19 fatalities?
  3. The problem is that this doesn't sell.
  4. I actually think people have the right to be unhealthy as long as it doesn't hurt OTHER PEOPLE in immediately obvious ways. However, that was just a rhetorical device to point out a fatal flaw in your argument. Maybe read it in context with the following paragraph.
  5. Align yourself with nature and become a broccoli. Turn yourself into ashes now!
  6. Let me point your libertarian fire hose back at you: should people not be free to be unhealthy? Now, let's say there existed a highly contagious disease that did not just make people unhealthy themselves but OTHER PEOPLE AS WELL if they didn't "address those issues". Does this not threaten the individual rights of all people? Do people not have the right to live healthy lives without being imposed a health risk from others against their will? See how this freedom shit is not a one-way street?
  7. and it does matter to people, so you're whole naturalistic tirade is a fugazi.
  8. Is the vaccine a natural phenomena? Please.
  9. Oh so you're saying you're above survival? Why do you eat in the morning? Yes, please run for president with that slogan. Very appealing! Then manifest a fucking spaceship and beam our asses off this stupid rock.
  10. On nature's terms, why should humans deserve to live and viruses deserve to die? There is no such promise. That is only the narcissism of the human condition.
  11. Even if you respected nature, COVID-19 would still kill your dumb ass. To think otherwise would be extremely arrogant, entitled and self-centered.
  12. Reality is not anthropocentric and evolution is a rivalrous game. That is nature. Reality doesn't care whether humans exist or viruses exist. It only cares about the integrity of the whole. Lmao. I'm so done.
  13. Death, disease and suffering is completely natural. Nature is not on Team Human. Nature is completely neutral and unbiased. If you let the virus win, then the virus wins.
  14. Just one problem: look at Sadhguru. Maybe it's because you're not actually selfless yet.
  15. Only if we half-ass the vaccinations. He even specifically said it: "imperfect vaccination can enhance the transmission of virulent pathogens".
  16. You have to view global pandemics like COVID-19 like a cancer. If it isn't stopped in the early stages, it could eventually doom the entire system. I keep talking about the possibility of it spawning more lethal variants who are just as much if not more contagious, and while I have no idea of the actual probability of such an event, just the mere possibility of it should scare the shit out of you. Even so, such a scenario is only the worst case. There are many other ways that could make everything go to shit.
  17. It's Mount Kailash – a holy mountain That's Sadhguru sitting there btw.
  18. Real dictator: kill as many people as possible. Covid dictator: kill as few people as possible. ?
  19. The process of overcoming the fear of standing up for yourself and overcoming the fear of dogs is the same.
  20. Sounds like it's not much of a choice. Dogs are everywhere.
  21. Reminds me of the Ford Pinto scandal in the 1970s. Ford found out that it would be more profitable to design cars with fuel tanks that increased the chances of irreversible damage in an eventual rear-crash by a fiery explosion. This is because the cost of a brand new car was lower than the cost of spare parts and repairman labour. However, this plan would of course increase the amount of lethal car accidents. https://www.hotcars.com/biggest-automotive-scandals/ In this case, business was indeed destroyed over car accidents
