Thank you for reading and analyzing that fallacy-ridden rubbish from Arkmedic. I had started on it but didn't have your fortitude! A whole bunch of "Covid dissidents" have been coming out as virus pushers, e.g. Engler.

The closing sentence is the key to understand why we fall for all sorts of twisted stories, incomplete expressions, vague promises, understatements or plain lies. It goes for everything, from a primary school to nationwide elections, from family secrets to corporate fraud, from self-delusion to fake CVs.

The contents is irrelevant. WE are the driving force behind the lie mechanism. We even bleach our souls to pass lies as greater good.

By analogy: (theoretically) the virus is irrelevant, the terrain determines the outcome - according to some. Or the other way round, according to others.

It really doesn’t matter. What truly matters is that we are ready to extreme lengths to deceive others and equally ready to deceive ourselves. It will always be a losing game. Maybe it’s a great time to ponder about this all and change the underlying mental corruption.
