Virtue signaling is a good thing. The problem is lack of virtue, not presence of signals.

It’s a 6000 year old tradition.

It’s because they buy the veterinary products as a way to circumvent existing reasonable limits for human use of ivermectin. It’s implicitly against doctors’ recommendations and prescriptions.

Alternatively, they’re buying ego-boosting pills/pastes that feed the fantasy that they’re special/chosen people who are in the know about “secrets hiding in plain sight” like a common antiparasitic drug having incredible curative properties.

Sometimes they kill their kids. It’s not really fair to the kids.

why?

Eternal recurrence

"What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: ‘This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more; and there will be nothing new in it, but every pain and every joy and every thought and sigh and everything unutterably small or great in your life will have to return to you, all in the same succession and sequence—even this spider and this moonlight between the trees, and even this moment and I myself. The eternal hourglass of existence is turned upside down again and again, and you with it, speck of dust!’

“Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: ‘You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.’ If this thought gained possession of you, it would change you as you are or perhaps crush you. The question in each and every thing, ‘Do you desire this once more and innumerable times more?’ would lie upon your actions as the greatest weight. Or how well disposed would you have to become to yourself and to life?”

• Friedrich Nietzsche

The bigotry of low expectations

Ufff… these were not the most advanced societies at the time (not philosophically, not technologically, not culturally, not in any meaningful way):

I need to move to Scandinavia.

Tack!

I would like to see more opinions from the Greenland locals, but I doubt that they want to exchange Denmark with the USA.

Let me introduce you to:

A portal site which lists search results. Each result contains a list of definitions/entries - each from different instances. Editors from different instances can decide to agree with others at multiple levels (granularity), right down to a definition. It would probably be difficult to agree on paragraphs, but not impossible. Search results with a lot of “agreement” are showed at the top of the result list, while those with with no agreement are shown at the bottom.

The agreement dynamics can already be seen in science between journals, articles, authors, even if it’s less structured and formal. There are now search engines that use AI to measure an agreement/disagreement scale between papers (connected by citations).

Obviously, there needs to be some way to validate, track, and mark the “bad faith” instances to push them down or out of the results entirely. And that way has to be based on a combination of expertise and reputation, not on universal vote counts.

Manifest Destiny

Ceaușescu got that notification after his regime imposed a decade of intense austerity while demanding adulation and worship. Debts repaid or not, that was a bad way to go about it. In the current context, there’s a long way down to abject poverty from where any EU countries are now. In terms of his reward, I would point out that he was shuffled off the mortal coil before he could divulge information about his friends, his allies, his partners.
