And understandably, to some extent, if you have this worldwide deadly plague, it's going to go where the leakiest hole is.

So you really got to kind of get everyone on board.

But to the vehemence with which we're told, we know what we're doing.

This is the way to solve it.

If you don't do it, you are causing mass death.

That I think fed in very heavily to people's enormous sense of skepticism toward establishment sources.

It's a strong, strong quote.

Camus brings me to tears.

And it's funny because I reread The Myth of Sisyphus, which I'd been recommending to people.

I'm like, this book is not good.

But he's got his ethos is my favorite of all the philosophers.

He says- All I maintain is that on this earth, there are plagues and there are victims, and it's up to us so far as possible not to join forces with the plagues.

And why I have that as the introductory quote to the book is,

I think morality and ethics are very, very complicated subjects.

There's lots of gray areas where you don't know which way to choose.

But at a base level, he has another quote that's ascribed to him.

He never actually said, but something about, you know, is the duty of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.

If you are, we should do whatever we can not to have blood on our hands, not to be murderers, not to want death.

And

that in and of itself is a big pill for a lot of people to swallow.
