Silicon Kansas
One of Berenson's commenters asks how we refute the "But Science Says" crap.

Well, there's no rebutting in a modern Robust Debate. Robust Debates are always auctions to bid up the killcount. This has been going on for a long time.

But if we imagine a real debate where arguments can be answered by arguments, and people are attempting to learn from discussion:

The rebuttal is super-simple. Any idea or proposal that pops up out of nowhere and claims to solve a problem is NOT SCIENCE. The lockdown DID NOT COME from public health professionals. It came from China where it was used for a POLITICAL purpose, and it is a classic tactic of WAR, not HEALTH. A state of siege is fully familiar to soldiers and military historians. It's an efficient way to kill a territory or city without wasting bullets and bombs.

Real science, especially the ACTIVE side of science, has NOTHING TO DO with ideas or theories or models. Public health belongs to the active side of science, which means it's ENGINEERING.

Previous generations understood that real science proceeds by gradual trial and error. I think Silicon Valley has twisted and flipped our understanding. We've been conditioned to think that anything NEW and UNPRECEDENTED and DESTRUCTIVE is science, and anything OLD and BORING and PRODUCTIVE is denialism.

Terms like Creative Destruction and Innovative Disruption are the weapons of this flip. Both are simply false. Destruction is destruction, whether you call it creative or not. Disruption is disruption, whether you call it innovative or not.

The states dominated by Silicon Valley are the hardest and most murderous holocausters.

The test case for this correlation is Kansas. The other plains states carried on the 'frontier spirit', which means simply MYOB. Modularity. Let people do what they want in their own bodies or houses or fences, until they try to rob you or kill you. From Wyoming to Texas, most of them held back the holocaust. Kansas clamped down early and long.

Kansas started out with more NYC globalism than the others, as I've described often. The Eastern founders were EXACT ANCESTORS of today's Silicon Valley types. Vegan sexless IPO scammers, genocidal pacifists. The NYC spirit waned as real agriculture came to dominate, but the recent growth in Kansas has been in the new** hi-tech corridor from Manhattan to Lawrence to Overland Park. The current governpersonindividual is clearly all Silicon Valley, all Woke.

** Not coincidentally, the same as the old NYC corridor. The NYC colonizers came up the Mississippi, then west on the Missouri, then west on the Kaw until the steamboats ran aground, depositing settlements along the Kaw. The western end of navigation was the junction of Wildcat and Kaw, which is where the original townsite of Polistra was placed.
