The Best of all Possible Collateral Damage and the Best Absurd Policies Possible
... "those who have asserted all is well talk nonsense; they ought to have said that all is for the best" ...
"Observe that noses were made to wear spectacles, and so we have spectacles. Legs were visibly instituted to be breeched, and we have breeches. Stones were formed to be quarried and to build castles; and My Lord has a very noble castle; the greatest Baron in the province should have the best house; and as pigs were made to be eaten, we eat pork all year round; consequently, those who have asserted all is well talk nonsense; they ought to have said that all is for the best."
Voltaire: Candide, Ch.1
Those words from Candide came to mind when I read Toby Young’s short account of the consequences of lockdowns in the Daily Sceptic this morning. Perhaps they wouldn’t have come to mind had I not a few minutes earlier had a glance at how somebody, in a discussion thread, was trying to brush it all off, explaining we could not have done otherwise.
Of course we couldn’t have. For just like Pangloss says in Candide, the world we live in is the best of all possible worlds, and thus it follows that the collateral damage from our idiotic policies must be the best of all possible collateral damage and our policies the best idiotic ones possible.
Our decisions to sacrifice those in need in order to serve our absurd obsession with following procedures we knew all along wouldn't work, and would be extremely harmful, are the best of all such sacrifices possible, and our absurd obsession certainly the best of all such available.
The harm done the best harm possible.
Right?
The Best of all Possible Collateral Damage and the Best Absurd Policies Possible
In the States, the CDC has flipped to pretend they’re sincere that mistakes were made, sooo much they didn’t know but from which they’ve now learned. There is ostensibly going to be some sort of revamping which, IMO simply means they’ll do it all faster, harder & more cruelly for the next phony, manufactured “public health crisis”.
Interesting perspective thanks. If we have done the best possible harm maybe the growing of headless fetuses then isn't such a bad idea - especially for our brainless leaders.
Maybe gender confused kids and brainless embryos is their best possible harm?
