A Conversation
How we've lost any semblance of reality in our discussions with each other.
Below is an example of basically how my conversations go on the topic of Covid 19 or vaccines.
There is NO discussion, just a changing of goalposts and finally blind obedience to a distant and anonymous authority.
Me: Hey. I'm not sure I agree.
Him: Then answer this question. What’s green, hangs on the wall, and whistles?
Me: I give up.
Him: A herring.
Me: But a herring isn’t green.
Him: So you can paint it green.
Me: But a herring doesn’t hang on the wall.
Him: Put a nail through it, it hangs on the wall.
Me: But a herring doesn’t whistle!
Him: So What? It doesn’t whistle.
Me: I turn and walk away.
Him: (smiling and jeering in smug victory)
I’m transitioning. Going to try and find community where diversity of opinion exists. I’m going to try. Let me know if you know of such a place, where ideology is not part of the social contract and we truly can be a society of friends. It must exist somewhere out there.
