There are two persons. Both caught by same deadly disease. Doctor told truth to one of them. Now, one knows, and the another one don't knows.
Is this knowledge good ?
I think, knowledge is NOT a good thing.
If you contrary with the statement. then tell me that which particular knowledge you think is good ?
Does anyone remember COVID? This was a deadly pandemic disease and not something more isolated, like having a rare disease. With both medical science and politics still using casino math, their common oracle approach led to many people overreacting, doing more long term harm than good, especially over protecting children from the black box bogeyman. Others handled the oracle news better, and tried to keep life normal and not let black box fear overwhelm them. If science had been able to offer rational knowledge, then we could avoided the irrational pitfalls of black box knowledge.
Personally, I looked at the the short term mortality data after the first 10K deaths. It was clear that those who were most at risk were the elderly, overweight with respiratory and/or heart conditions. Children were practically immune from the beginning. I struck me that maybe this was a Socialist still planned disease, to lower health care costs by eliminating the highest costs demographics.
I decided this pattern would remain and I would take my chances. I did not allow the black box of political fear mongering to dominate my brain, even when I got censored for spreading hope, since logic was on my side. However, the self righteous fear was strong. That must have looked like magic to those who live by the fuzzy dice knowledge from the oracle of the black box. The black box can create fear even when the fear does not apply to you, since the black box places you in the cold darkness of uncertainty, inducing a negative placebo affect in the herd.
One interesting side affect was all the rip off artists, had a field day, exploiting the black box fear, with $billions of tax dollar stolen in plain sight. I wonder if this was all connected?
