Pervasive error means politics corrupts everything it can. Politics cannot corrupt virology. It can corrupt public policy. Its virology is science. Its public policy is…weird. For this virus, there is no way our experts could rethink that public policy in time. Either we get lucky, or the virus is replicating in America within a few weeks. The proper attitude is just to observe the tragedy as it happens—if it happens. How can we act? We have not even started to learn to observe—much less plan. And the best plans are long. History is pure because no one can act on the past. Present history is hard because one can. Or so it often seems; but this is hardly ever so. Before we can even begin to observe the world around us, we must develop the ability to read the present as immutable, like the past. Only those who have mastered this art, which now and for the foreseeable future is no one, can consider suspending it. This remains true even in the moment of a likely tragedy.

Globalism is certainly brought under newfound doubt with this present crisis. Globalism trusts to an absurd degree in stable international relations that it cybernetically guarantees through its own network of neoliberal trade agreements and transnationally distributed supply chains. Yet there is almost a geometric flaw to this premise, as if it runs up against the laws of space and time. Expand the surface area of supply chains, increase the odds of something happening in between to disrupt them, multiply assumptions about distributions and logistics. Overcomplicate because it is best for corporate bottom lines in times where there are no shocks, but in the advent of a shock, experience a crumpling and contraction of severe proportions because those loose bonds of international trust are immediately voided as nations, like individuals, retreat inward. A compact, self-stable autarky would not have to worry about the crisis' impacts beyond its borders, multiplying its risk profile substantially.
Autarky is considered a bad word even when for instance America, back when it produced everything it needed, enjoyed economic power of transcendent levels and the average worker was far more prosperous. Now China, virally compromised and a political rival, produces 90% of its supply of ingredients for antibiotics.

We are poisoned by sycophantic economists who work for the very globalist banking order they claim to empirically describe with lies that there are no feasible alternatives.

retarded take. some long hair looks good but for any hair to look good it requires a certain level of maintenance and care. if you think looking good is a normie conformist thing, you're an incel nerd

btw, he doesn't have 'long' hair, he has nerd hair. spotting the difference is pretty simple, see if you can figure it out

way to competely miss the point of my post. you're a bit slow so I'll rephrase. long hair can be attractive (whether it is more attractive than short hair is irrelelvant) but there is a difference between attractive long hair (like Brad Pitt's or Matt Mcconaughey's) and overgrown nerd hair, like OPs, pic related and yours

btw you don't look like brad pitt, you are ugly and have unkept greasy hair.
