Shit and science share the same etymological root, believe it or not, which may explain why we're in the shit. Not because of con-science but because of a reduction of conscience, and the bludgeoning of mind. I put Paul Feyerabend up on the bridge for a reason (excuse the pun) for it is reason and science's logic (without feeling) that has caused this pandemic to arise. Science has allowed comfort to enter the fray not knowing that comfort doesn't exist in Nature unless it is borne upon the back of hardship. Even then it is not known as comfort but as restful ecstasy. At any rate, science is the problem and scientists, most of whom slave away at the behest of military and commercial interests, the mindless morons who promote pandemics through encouraging favourable conditions that exploit and violate Nature's ways. One could do a lot worse than read Feyerabend's 'Farewell to Reason' (especially the last chapter where he lets loose) and 'Against Method'. Go on the Feyer..!
