“I think someone broke into my house!”

“Are you a Ring customer?”

“No!?”

Nobody beats a bacterial or viral infection by arguing it to death

My increasingly convinced take: fascism & demagoguery generally are a communications-based phenomenon in a systems context. It strongly resembles spread of communicable disease.

It's a response to collapse of former mental world models, at societal scale. That triggers an informational overload ... from a loss of formerly-effective filters.

Comment Poem 1

In the in between hours
Neither night nor day
A beauty born in a cocoon
spun for two to transform
A butterfly ghost can appear
Now, long flown away.

Robert Wertzler - 2019
