Goodbye? I wasn't trying to be rude. I was just trying to explain why I (apparently) misinterpreted the title of your book.

Ironically, you're implying that it's those of us who are Covid conscious that are in a cult!

That rings true. However, the members of the cult are not themselves liars; they're in denial.

Sorry if I made an unjustified leap there. But isn't it encouraged by the presence of the word "lying" in the title?

Since you clearly don't think it's due to denial and/or incompetence, what do you think is the motivation?

You're working with the wrong philosophy of language. Check out Charles Taylor's The Language Animal (2016).

In what sense do I base my argument on being "an anesthetic"? I don't understand. And who, and in what positions, do you think I failed to talk with? Jewish historians? Pro Hamas protestors? I don't follow.

We’re Getting Antisemitism Wrong
And it’s undermining our fight against it

While I very much appreciate your efforts, this post ultimately serves only to feed antisemitism. Here's why: open.substack.com/pub/charlesb...
Good for them. Aristotelians are right that, rather than "means," we should more often than not speak of "towards-the-ends."

Answer: the vehicle's speed limit should adjust depending on what the GPS indicates it is. But even before GPS, they could've at least set it at 120. They didn't for the same reason they've been denying the realities of Covid: bullshit.
