How do you know?

Is that true?

I’m not seeing it.

I’m not seeing where the confidence comes from, to announce that. How do people know such things? Where do they get them?

Why would we be “addicted” to our fear?

Really, why? What’s the reward that creates the addiction?

Why would we “fall in love with” our fear? Fear is nasty, so why would we fall in love with it?

I had a charismatic Comparative Literature teacher at university a few centuries ago who did this kind of thing regularly – informed us that professed motives were fake and the actual ones were something less idealistic and more selfish: sex or sadism or greed and the like. At some point I noticed that it was a pattern, and got bored with it, despite the charisma.

This nonsense is like that. It’s a silly show-offy empty bit of shtick. Oh you think people are genuinely concerned about the virus? Hahaha you are so naïve no of course they’re not, they’re lining their pockets, or they’re polishing up their CVs, or they’re addicted.

And you know that how, O genius of the tweeterverse? Your insight was bestowed on you by what tooth fairy?

It’s sad to see someone who used to be intelligent fall down this storm drain.
