I found expecially the last paragraph very powerful.
It is rare that beyond the analysis, one finds encouraging words. We who are aware of the absurdity of the political intervention, often despair on the foreseen outcome for our future, especially regarding infringement on our freedom, but increasingly also the impact on our general (mental and physical) health, be it through medicine/vaccines of unknown nature or due to less freedom to exercise sports and any human activity that makes us human and strenthens our immune system and general enjoyment of life.
The last few lines give some hope that there may be some residual legacy that may change (other) aspects of our lives for the better, even if it is on a longer term. I wish more pieces like this would see daylight that deal with those points in depth and how those of us that are aware of opportunities may capitalize upon these.
I find myself having a lot of energy to create awareness in my direct environment on the topic of "what you should REALLY be fearful of", i.e. government control, censorship, loss of general health, etc., instead of a plandemic that cannot be prevented with these measures as nature will have its way. It is not energy that is channeled usefully though and dealing with these topics increases my gloom, it frustrates those that I am trying to wake up and generally does not work on solutions that may give a more positive spin on the topics you mentioned in your last phrases, like the decline of mass manipulation through conventional media due to general mistrust.
In case you have any information on discussion groups where such topics are handled more in-depth, I would appreciate any links for participation.
VERY well written piece! I enjoyed the accuracy, how the topic was developed, but most importantly that you provided a solution, or rather how this virus hysteria will end. I began my own blog back in March to discuss these exact topics among others but they were not as eloquent. Mark, you discussed the "beliefs systems" when fear is involved. Has it also been your understanding that discussing the flaws of the current COVID "standards" rather the hysteria (e.g. wearing a mask, social distancing, etc.) has turned into the same process as discussing the flaws of religion to a religious person? Not trying to sift the focus to religion, but my point is that when someone believes something so strong, it is impossible to get them to see anything else or at least acknowledge a possible flaw in their thought process? I thank you for writing this article as I have given up trying to convince others of exactly what you stated (instead I'll share yours). Nevertheless, your words very much help people like us, feel that we are not "insane". Thank you for spreading empowerment!
Thank you. I needed this. Since May, 2020 I have been saying to the annoyance of family and friends that this felt like Salem/And over, 1692

Keep up the good work in analyzing the situation!
Excellent piece of writing.
