It still amazes me how enthusiastically Westerners embraced the wearing and enforcement of face coverings in public.
The authorities just had to say 'Science' instead of 'Allah' and people fell into line.
Even when it makes NO sense, they want you to comply and not question.
If people would just admit these bizarre face mask rituals are primarily about obedience, tribal signalling and conflict avoidance, rather than science, I would respect it more.
I can appreciate and respect religious adherence, even if I don't share the exact same beliefs. 😃
I've had several occasions in different cities where I've been asked/demanded to wear a mask despite nobody being within 20 metres of me... Sometimes outside.
Imagine thinking this behaviour is about science. Or the bizarre restaurant entry rituals y'all do. 😂
I've never seen more weird and irrational human behaviour at any other point in my life.
Sometimes I feel like I'm an explorer, amongst a new emergent species, trying to work out their behaviours and social dynamics. It's very strange.
"It's different when we do it! This is Science!" 🤬😡🤬
