But then there's "Ben R. Rich, brilliant scientist, and aeronautical engineer. He designed a stealth fighter-plane that flew undetected by radar and served as the second director of Lockheed Martin’s top-secret Skunk Works program. " During a 1993 Alumni Speech at UCLA, Rich stated: “We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects and it would take an Act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity…Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do.” At the end of the speech, Rich said, “We now have the technology to take ET home.”

The US might be seen as one of the most advanced countries, and yet we see intractable political problems - - intractable insofar as humanism is in no position to even work towards changing their causes. Really, Humanism is a dodge from the responsibility of fighting to stop the evildoers. Were the Resistance fighters Humanists? Your reference to the Borg is well taken in my opinion.

The principles of triage are based on survivability and don't take into account how the patients came to be in need. From the perspective that does consider the outrageousness of their behavior, the principles of triage seem unfair. The anti-vax conduct is so offensive that it does invite the proposition of denying care altogether. Anti-vaxxers that recklessly threaten others with death plainly exhibit depraved indifference, a felony in many jurisdictions. If our society functioned properly, anti-vaxxers would be charged and sentenced accordingly. However, the GQP has chosen to politicize this issue as a stepping stone to approved violence and civil war. The democrats don't really have the power nor balls to stop them.

The weird beliefs can become a dangerous hazard, as was all too clear on Jan 6. But consider the impact of Maga cultists on Covid mortality and the economic knee-capping that comes with it. And, their paranoia supports, oddly enough, a support for fascism. Yes, they are an existential threat to us and the species.

"the Right has continued to act with dignity, collegiality and propriety." "Yes, Obama was “articulate” and “polished” but in no way was he in the least bit “dignified,” “collegial” or “proper.”" "The Left has been engaged in a war against America since the rise of the Children of the ‘60s. " So that makes it OK to embrace a traitor who has been proven to have conspired with Putin to rig the 2016 election? Sorry, but that makes the GQP traitors, every one, in my book.
