Christian Drosten's predecessor at Berlin Charité, the virologist Detlev Krüger, sends an open letter to the chancellor, cultural and educational ministers, demanding a return to normality in schools and an end to the mass-testing of school children.

There has been hidden opposition throughout academia and the bureaucracy this whole time, and they will begin to push back now, from multiple different angles, as Omicron threatens to bring the whole containment edifice to the ground.

If the narrative and policy collapse continues to gain momentum, it will soon outpace any countermeasures from journalists and politicians, and the hardest-line containment advocates will find themselves isolated, supporting ridiculous and universally loathed policies.
Insufferable morons like @Karl_Lauterbach would be well advised to get out in front of this and reverse course on containment right now.

We must recognise that the allegedly learned classes – at least the ones in senior positions – have totally lost their minds about Corona and no longer have any clear understanding of what is actually happening. They believe truly absurd things.
Beneath them are public health bureaucrats and advisors who are either lying to them constantly or trying gently to steer them back to some rough simulacrum of the true state of things. It is hard to know, how so many of them took such a wrong turn ...
... but clearly the best explanation for ongoing policy failures throughout the Eurozone and also in the US, is this kind of complete confusion about very basic disease statistics. It is like Afghanistan ...

Complex human institutions, which have eschewed rigid hierarchy for consensus-based administration, are characteristic of western society. They have many idiosyncrasies, among them the inability to pursue any kind of complex strategy.

eugyppius.substack.com/p/errors-force…
Institutions that have succumbed to committee government have tendencies instead of strategies. Western Corona policies reflect the diffuse, profoundly demobilised attitude of the institutions that sustain them. We might call these 'tendential' rather than strategic regimes.
The aims of consensus-based administrative governments are not hidden. They cannot be, because the high degree of self-coordination these institutions demand. Thus their aims are always both painfully overt and shamelessly simple, to the point of seeming stupid.

Liberal democracy has given us pointless wind turbines on every horizon, mass immigration, the World Economic Forum, femael suffrage, Corona lockdowns, and the EU. Herewith, a thread on why liberal democracy is so bad.
Political power has a will of its own. It wants a single locus. Liberal democracy is premised on the idea that you can divide power among the people, place it in different regime silos (the judiciary, the parliament), and keep it fragmented.
In practice this just means that power in liberal democratic systems accrues over time to suboptimal, dysfunctional, illegible, unknown organisations and systems - the bureaucratic institutions.

Will probably regret this thred later, but mainly I tweet about things I am thinking about. I am sincerely grateful for all of my Substack readers, and yet the phenomenon of angry unsubscribers has since November become a source of amusement to me.
There are first of all those I am least patient with, namely the lot who accuse me of being a grifter. I don’t know what to say here: It takes a lot of time and effort to write these pieces, and most are free anyway.
Then there are the lot who say I write too much. That was mainly in November, when I had a lot of momentum and I resolved to poast nearly every day, and with a few early mornings/ late nights almost managed it.

Bad metaphor. A better one: in an effort to stop all football fouls, players are screened prior to matches for biomarkers predictive of red cards, and preemptively excluded on that basis. The system excludes so many players, matches become mostly impossible. …
Those few that still go ahead see just as many red cards as before. Defenders of the system respond to their failure by asserting that there would be *even more* red cards without their dumb screening system.
Then they switch tactics and say players can be exempt from screening if they just take foul-preventing injections prior to matches. These injure an unknown number of players but also don’t have any measurable effect on fouls.

rare strategy poast:

1) Critical (& investigative) journalism is dead. Everything put out by major broadcast & print media is low-effort narcicissm poasting masterminded by uni interns & racially/ sexually obsessed lunatics. Stop being mad about this. It is opportunity.
2) Longer form journalism is a field almost entirely open to us. There is no competition, people want to know what is happening, they want to have comment sections where they can discuss this insanity, and their heretofore trusted newspapers feed them nothing but agitprop garbage
3) I think Substack is interesting platform we should explore & consider colonising. The email subscriber lists make our accounts resilient to banning. Look at successful Substack authors: Many of them are writing precisely in areas ignored or sidelined by our broken press.
