ecosophia | Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 145

We are now in the third year of these open posts. As the phrase "died suddenly" repeats in the mass media like a mantra, statistics for work days lost to illness and all-cause mortality mount up in heavily vaccinated nations, and more and more ugly facts about the official response to Covid spill out into public, we are entering what may well turn out to be the most difficult period of the Covid disaster -- the phase in which denial rises in lockstep with the death rate, and a great many people try not to admit what has been done to them by the people and institutions they trusted. It could get ugly, folks.

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.

3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religions, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

This may not seem initially relevant, but has anyone noticed people's spelling and grammar has become significantly worse in the past few years?

What I've particularly noticed are preposition errors - that's words like "before", "behind", "above". They are often missing or the wrong ones used.

And also the missing of transition words, like "the", "and", "although" and "because", or sometimes the word is duplicated, like "the the".

What's interesting is that these are the errors that small children make when learning to talk - they miss out the prepositions or get them wrong/get them in the wrong places.

This is particularly surprising given that prerty much all computers have a spellchecker, including phones.

This forum seems relatively immune, but my colleagues' spelling is now awful, and news articles are even worse - if anything, it's evidence the articles are not actually AI-written, as I'd expect the spelling to be better!

Where I'm going with this is that I think people's brains have literally been damaged in an indirectly measurable way over the past few years (I won't speculateon the cause) - look up the areas of the brain associated with language and writing, then look up what other functions those areas of the brain have...

Has anyone noticed how people seem to have lost their sense of humour as well?

In my world, yes, I have noticed that. People seem to be on a very superificial level for the most part. Abstract and nuanced thought, out to lunch and on vacation. I'm still mostly surrounded by Kool-Aid drinkers, given my family situation for the moment.

Me, and on the Internet, not at all. Plenty of humor out there. Lots of memes. And I read Jeff Childers' Coffee & Covid on Substack, it always makes me laugh out loud at least several times. I don't always agree with everything he says, though, by the way. But I read it almost every day. One of the many things, in addition to coming to this forum, that keeps me sane.

>> Where I'm going with this is that I think people's brains have literally been damaged in an indirectly measurable way over the past few years (I won't speculate on the cause)

I agree, and I am going to speculate - I think at least some of the damage is chemical and pharmaceutical.

Steve Kirsch had a post on his blog with some statistics related to that - I didn't post it here because it touched on the gender identity issue, and I don't want to open that can of worms here.

The point is, when we talk about people being vaccine damaged, that damage is not just physical - it is sometimes psychological and mental, maybe spiritual. I possibly include myself in that camp - not from covid vaccines since I avoided them, but from previous shots. The older I get the more I think I have odd gaps in my awareness that other people seem to have - that in some ways I'm something of a freak, and I mean that in a descriptive rather than pejorative sense.

I was at a local bookstore picking up some crossword magazines, and there were two young people in line in front me, I'd guess somewhere between mid teen and mid twenties. There was something about them that frightened me - not because of dress or hair or any external ornament, but something about their eyes, the look on their faces, their general feel, that gave me a chill. There is something in the feel of an ordinary person that just wasn't there - something was missing.

Downtown in a big city fifteen or so years ago I suddently thought, 'I wonder if I've seen a clone.' A few seconds later a guy walked past me on the sidewalk and he didn't exactly give me a chill but something was really 'off' - enough for me to notice it.

Assessing writing skills is actually a common way to check for dementia. The parts of the brain that handle it are usually damaged earlier in the disease than other parts of the brain. More generally, if you know what to look for, there is a lot of evidence that a lot of people are brain damaged to some extent or other...

Despite proof reading this twice, I just noticed I've made 2 typos! 😄

That's what I get for writing this on my phone...

My boss exhibited (and complained of) "brain fog" after his shots. He is incapable of composing even the simplest of emails without errors. Lately, he has an unfortunate tendency to leave out the word 'not', turning "we do not agree with this" into "we agree with this". I try to proof read anything official he writes before it goes up the chain, but I am not always successful.

He started working for us in 2020, so I haven't had a lot of opportunity to observe his writing pre and post shots, but for sure it didn't help.

Hoo boy. You've stumbled across something that may have some esoteric roots. Like strange energies from space. I was wondering when anyone else would notice this.

Not really, no. As a copy editor, I find we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of Cod.

lol

I too am a thinner in the hands of an angry Cod. Which is really awful when you realize that cod have no hands.

these puns just rite themselves.

I notice my own typing skills have declined lately. But I assume that like the new joint pain in the location of old fractures, it's just aging.
