The Answer to the Question, "How Many Boats"? in The Great Wave of Kanagawa
I hope you will think about how you did.
Two days ago your long range memory was measured (if you had seen it before).
Yesterday measured your attention to detail.
The answer is three. Three boats are in the picture One in the back in front of Mount Fuji, one at the bottom, almost in the center and one on the left about half way up. The swell in the center left only obscures the third boat, It does not obscure the second boat at all. The people who chose two might have thought the two at the bottom were the same boat . But you can clearly see the front of both boats. The lines don’t match up either as Duchess pointed out. Not a single person who participated in the two polls on twitter got this right, the second poll with the picture right in front of them.
I hope everyone will remember this little test in two ways as it might apply to What we went through the last 4 years. First, don’t forget what was done to us and who did it. Second, pay attention to the details like I asked you to do with the picture when someone tries to pull one over on you. When people engage in revisionist history, call them out. If you hear a doctor in your community, for example, say he knew all along that lockdowns wouldn’t work, don’t just nod. Ask him, “How did you know?” If he can’t give you an airtight explanation, he’s trying to act smart now when he really didn’t know. If he convinces you he knew beforehand and why, ask him, “What did you do about it? I can tell you almost no one knew lockdowns couldn’t work before they were tried. Even Scott Atlas and Steven Hatfill said they didn’t know whether or not they would help slow the spread, i.e. flatten the curve , “so they were worth a try”. You needed to drill down on the physics of it to really know for sure.
Don’t let people get away with loose comments about how we let them do this to us during Covid. If you think this was the last time we will allow ourselves to be abused like that, think again. What do you think Climate change is and all the stupid policies enacted to take away our treasure such as Biden’s plan to stop selling internal combustion engines by 2035 or whenever. We’ve spent 4 trillion dollars on climate change so far and we haven’t lowered the CO2 in the atmosphere one bit, not that
it would have done a damn thing about temperature. I think I debunked that a few posts ago. Pay attention to the little details they try to slide past you
What I won't let people get away with about the plandemic is that it was a moral pop quiz, not a scientific one. If your doctor tells you "I didn't know," then he's telling you that it wasn't data he lacked, but a moral compass. It doesn't matter whether lockdowns were 100% effective and the virus was 100% fatal. Same for slave muzzles and injections. Efficacy is irrelevant. IFR and CFR are irrelevant. It's not necessary to know science. It's necessary to know what's required morally, and that's everyone's responsibility, including doctors'. Morally, the only thing that matters is the individual's right to judge for himself whether there's a threat and how to mitigate it. No one has the right to make those decisions for him.
It used to be universally recognized that it was unethical for a physician to diagnose a patient without examining him in person. You couldn't call your doctor and ask what to do about your headache without being told that it might be an incipient aneurism or a stroke or stress, but that he couldn't advise you without an office visit. If that's unethical, what is it when agenda-driven bureaucrats in Geneva order everyone in the world into a one-size-fits-all reaction? To concede that someone else has the right to tell you what to do about your health is to concede that you have no rights at all. To maintain that bureaucrats or even doctors have that right is to maintain that we're all rightless serfs--and oh, look: Here we are.
Thank you, Dr.
I am stunned that Dr Atlas did not know that Lockdowns do not work. That has been in the literature as canon for more than a hundred years! 40 years ago, it was addressed in my bacteriology and immunology classes. I'm just stunned he took a "let's see" position! Common sense plus supposedly having more medical knowledge and training
