My partner is playing through the new Genshin update and there's a line that sounds very long covid coded
Vichama: That's good to hear. (Cough.) Strange... My body, it's... Chasca: Once Abyssal corrosion enters the body, a portion will fuse itself to your internal organs. Even though Alex possesses powers of purification, the corrosion can never fully be eradicated.

This seems pretty damning to me
From the linked Chris Hedges post: The whistling sound, audible on the video moments before the explosion, appears to comes from the high velocity of a missile. This sound gives it away. No Palestinian rocket makes this noise. And then there is the speed of the missile. Palestinian rockets are slow and lumbering, clearly visible as they arch in the sky and then tumble in free fall towards their targets. They do not strike with precision or travel at close to supersonic speed. They are incapable of killing hundreds of people. The Israeli military dropped “roof knocking” rockets with no warheads on the hospital in the days leading up to the Oct. 17 strike, the familiar warning given by Israel to evacuate buildings, according to al-Ahli hospital officials. Hospital officials also said they had received calls from Israel saying “we warned you to evacuate twice.” Israel has demanded that all hospitals in northern Gaza be evacuated.

From Jeff Jacoby via Boston Globe: A common thread to those cognitions is that they lead us to see the world as a place with an intentional design, created by someone or something. Young children, for example, tend to believe that even trivial aspects of the natural world were created with purpose, according to a series of studies by Boston University psychologist Deborah Keleman, PhD. If you ask children why a group of rocks are pointy, for example, they say something like, "It's so that animals won't sit on them and break them." If you ask them why rivers exist, they say it's so we can go fishing.

Well there you have it -- according to Marc Andreessen, I am deeply immoral and inflicting enormous unnecessary suffering on today's world
From Marc Andreessen's The Techno-Optimist Manifesto: Our enemy is the Precautionary Principle, which would have prevented virtually all progress since man first harnessed fire. The Precautionary Principle was invented to prevent the large-scale deployment of civilian nuclear power, perhaps the most catastrophic mistake in Western society in my lifetime. The Precautionary Principle continues to inflict enormous unnecessary suffering on our world today. It is deeply immoral, and we must jettison it with extreme prejudice.
