It appears that Rick Bright is advocating a federal surveillance system to pre-emptively identify disease outbreaks.
Interesting. If HCQ had worked, it would’ve saved thousands of lives, but it would’ve undermined Rick Bright’s current efforts to distribute vaccines & set up “global genomic surveillance”.
These are the types of people who wield power in our society.

Normalize using the term “oriental despotism” to describe the goals of our ruling class
The use of the “racist” smear to shoot down this term is itself a component of oriental despotism
Apparently there is a book on this subject, written by a Frankfurt School author, which describes “Oriental Despotism” as a top-down totalitarian system of bureaucratic control that contrasts with the Western system of decentralized power & competing interest groups.
Why did Jeffrey Epstein fund Martin Nowak, a game theorist & evolutionary biologist who taught how to make people cooperate in the face of global challenges like climate change?
Why did the Sackler-funded Peter Daszak, the chief suspect in the Wuhan lab leak, focus on the relationship between evolutionary viral dynamics and “climate impact”?
Kinda reminds me of Jacques Attalli’s quote that “a major pandemic would raise awareness of the need for altruism, at least self-interested. History teaches us that humanity only evolves significantly when it is truly afraid”
People will look to escape the totalitarian Great Res3t via the only means available to them — decentralized cryptocurrencies which don’t need middlemen or violence to secure.
There will be states which seek to attract this capital with crypto-friendly regulatory environments.
When states look to attract rather than oppress, they will be better places to live in and gain new (based/productive) immigrants & capital.
This process will create a more positive incentive structure between the rulers and ruled.
Imagine not caring about the Middle East’s tribal rivalries
I demand the freedom to not give a fuck about the E Mediterranean, unless it’s supporting Assad, the only ruler in the Middle East I like.
Cringe:
+Palestine (BLM tactics)
+Israel (“anxiety injuries”)
+Hezbollah (defeated ISIS but weird vibes, make ineffectual threats)
+Sunni Wahhabists
+Iran (great civilization but whine and can’t run their economy)
