The Interesting Things About Viruses That Cannot Be Answered
As it seems, to this day, no one really knows the underlying mechanism of how a viral infection occurs.
It’s true.
The current explanation for viral infection is incomplete. It’s rooted in a paradigm that hasn’t been systematically reviewed for over 120 years.
It goes something like this:
Viruses (despite having no means of locomotion) somehow enter the bloodstream and (despite having no sense organs) are able to detect and identify living cells. Then they must force their way in through the cell membrane (despite having no means of generating the energy to do so), navigate to the nucleus (despite having no means of recognizing it) and then (despite having no method of communication) persuade the cell to dismantle its own internal organs and reassemble them into exact copies of the virus. These replica viruses then again use their energy-less, limbless, senseless powers of movement and navigation to burst out of the cell and go off to carry out further weapon-less attacks on other living cells
It was quite an imaginative hypothesis, considering how little information it was based on, and as further discoveries were made, this largely speculative theory came to look more and more untenable.
What it basically shows you is that there is a gap in the definition for viral infection - the steps of the procession of infection -to which science compensates by anthropomorphism.
“Viruses jump between person to person…”
“If we can kill the virus before it enters the cell we’re gonna conquer this thing…”
“We’ve been in competition with a viruses for thousands of years”
All of that mumbo-jumbo about something that is not even alive.
Over time this lazy approach has created an adverse effect that denies us from digging and find the real, true answers.
If there is no clear and specific formula that underlies how viral infection really works; if we anthropomorphize constantly to compensate for that, it prevents us from finding the real mechanism: A solid foundation from which specific measures can be derived.
Yes, it’s ok to anthropomorphize when we want to explain things to others. Yes, it’s ok to anthropomorphize when we want to illustrate how things work, but when it comes to science - finding the underlying mechanism for observable phenomena - we can’t rely on that.
Science is all about patterns, and patterns have clear, logical formulas that underlie them. Not an abstract explanation.
In other words, just like in mathematics, a formula is a formula. It’s not a quasi written equation supported by anthropomorphism. A computer language code is not complemented with an anthropomorphized explanation, expected to compile the same result. And until one finds the right, conclusive formula, one can never compensate for it by anthropomorphism.
When you don’t have a clear definition, you can’t have accurate methodologies. When you don’t have accurate methodologies, all the derivatives that come out of them cannot be specific, and therefore of value.
That is why we always contend ourselves with homogenized measures that don’t really work (masks, social distancing, lockdowns, quarantines, drugs). They work more as a placebo to cope with the fear of uncertainty that cram our minds, so we can feel we’re in control.
Rather, these have become superstitions with which we cling onto to maintain some emotional equilibrium and mental stability. The irony is that we’re actually in a much worse condition: mentally unstable and emotionally imbalanced.
When you don't have a clear and specific formula for how viral infection ensues, what it does is it creates more havoc in the long run than the actual viral disease that affects the population. So rather than being pinpointed and extremely focused, a “chicken run” is created in which expenditure of resources and energy is expelled into all directions, however in vain, causing a cascade of inefficiencies and counterproductiveness down the line.
They then lead to the destabilization of the life process, which inadvertently sicken more human beings than the actual virus. It’s the fear that molds us to create situations that are far worse than the actual viral associated disease.
So the best approach becomes “let’s use everything we’ve got and hope that the chips fall where we want them to”. It’s like deciding to go on massive war campaigns, invading an entire country to kill one person
Sounds familiar?!
All of this leads to a “pandemic” as we know it: A cumulative effect in which 90% of it, is made by the measures in the form of restrictions, which we have come to identify and hold onto as a response to the abnormal fear in our minds, and 10% that is made by the actual viral-associated disease.
All, because we don’t know how things really work on the foundation level.
Perhaps now one can see why no one knows what’s really going on, but only use all their energy in masking the fact that they don’t know (by anthropomorphizing), so they can maintain their positions of influence and power.
And the rest?!
They too, are caught up in their own fears so they swallow anything hook, line and sinker without any pinch of scrutiny and personal discernment. Therefore, it’s really easy to fool one another and take each other for a ride.
This is our prevalent consciousness in which the blind are leading the blind into a more alienated, fearful and oppressive reality, while all of this could have been prevented if science had done it’s proper job in the first place.
