Just reminding
Just reminding myself again of the BIG QUESTION, trying to stay connected to the baseline or ground point. Metrology.
1. A group of countries joining forces to kill OTHER COUNTRIES happens all the time. Usually for physical greed, in recent centuries for "religion" or "ideology".
2. One country deciding to kill part of its own people is much less common, but happens with some regularity. Lincoln in 1860, Stalin in 1930, Hitler in 1940, Mao in 1950, Pol Pot in 1970, Idi Amin in 1980.
3. The current monstrosity is unique in history. Never before have NEARLY ALL COUNTRIES decided AT THE SAME MOMENT to kill MOST OF THEIR OWN PEOPLE.
4. How did this happen? What was the vector of contagion? Epstein? China? Aliens?
