RE: The Jabbed Suffer 27% More Cancer Across the Board

"Has this been you?"

I sure hope so!

"...a deeply ingrained standard of self-examination based on morality, right and wrong, cause and effect."

This seems to me wisdom, because acknowledging all our actions are percussions, each one, sourced of our ineffable free will, strikes across the clockwork of the physical universe with specificity, imparting action by our volition. There are things we cannot see, as you above relate, no matter how hard we look, and our choices also impact them, with effects we cannot know, but seek by sound foundation of principle, morality, to move so as to do good thereby.

"I find it very very difficult to trust."

Wise counsel. While I also have sought to act on a foundation of sound moral principles, amongst the unseen things are the free will of our peers, and I observed that people act per their own moral foundations, some to do good, and some to oppose good. I cannot know hearts but only observe acts. I must judge based on acts, and trust sparely, because we are betrayed by the untrustworthy we foolishly trust.

Little has worse consequences than treachery, IME. Misplacing trust is an existential threat to survival, so trust must be assigned with only the most extreme caution.

"...people allowed the world to be destroyed by their own volition."

Some have sought destruction. This is true. What is also true is they are incompetent to wreak enough destruction to destroy the world, which remains whole and vibrant, fecund and fertile, lush and verdant, beneath our feet and at our fingertips. The world is not destroyed. In times of great peril is great opportunity.

I do not believe that most people have sought destruction, but that most people do not have wisdom, and even the most wise can be fooled and betrayed. Fools, which I must judge with extreme care, because I must acknowledge my own foolishness when I do lest I mock myself with pretension to wisdom and understanding I cannot support with factual evidence, are led astray by liars and traitors purposely. I have been led astray, with disastrous consequences. I am such a fool, though not in every way have I been fooled - but I am certainly not wise in every way, and it is certain that any absolute belief I have in my wisdom regarding anything is impossible to base on proof of it. Therefore, standing firmly on sound principle of fact, I must temper my judgement of those I believe have been fooled because I may be the fool instead, though I may have some evidence I have chosen wisely, I cannot have proof. More than once I have had much evidence on which I based my judgement and have learned I was wrong.

I do not mean to trust Campbell, nor do I counsel it. Clearly he has judged he was wrong, and contradicted himself. He has found himself untrustworthy, and so it isn't appropriate to trust him. But that is what I myself do when I find out I am wrong. When an honest man discovers he is wrong, he either ceases to be wrong, or ceases to be honest. I observe Campbell has chosen to change his mind, to cease to be wrong. I cannot say he is honest, but I can observe he acted as an honest man. I do therefore consider his reports with care, and observe his method of meticulous parsing of data, and have lately found his reports forthright and based on sound principles. I can support these reports because of this, and that is all I mean to do here.

"Where i draw the line is continued ignorance in the face of the reality at hand."

I know that I am ignorant of most information that exists, and not only the totality of information that exists (because I cannot know most of it, and this is not ignorance, but nescience), but of most of the information I could know. I am not, nor have I made effort to become, an electrical engineer. I choose to know specific kinds of information, and I do not abandon fields of industry I have chosen to gain understanding of to devote my ability to learn fields that, to gain expertise in, I would have to devote considerable time, effort, and attention to. This is ignorance by definition. I am not nescient of electrical engineering. I am ignorant of it.

I believe it is unwise of people to be ignorant of corruption and malevolence of government, it's agents, and institutions. But I know I am not better than them. I am also ignorant of extremely important and useful information. I understand our free will is truly free, and for this reason community is the human condition, as our various expertise is necessary to create the blessings of civilization, and without our various ignorance we would be unavailed of civilization, limited to such knowledge all could know, chipping rocks and scratching in the dirt.

I observe we can act to do good to our community without trusting our fellows, and that while some act treacherously, most act to do good. Only when such acts to do good are taken despite danger, even at great risk to themselves, can I gain trust those people will do good regardless of cost of doing so. It is a gradual process of building trust, and at any time the support for trust can be eliminated by one contrary example.

Out of this mutual and variable dedication to good deeds civilization has arisen, and only will be maintained and furthered by this process. None of us is a god, with vision into shadows that make us infallible, and humility is the only sound basis for wisdom. That is what makes community essential, creates the blessings of civilization we enjoy, and seek to perpetuate and pass on to our posterity.
