Global Happiness 2020 survey shows happiness has receded in many, but not all countries since last year.
China is said to be an authoritarian state, an oppressive regime.
In my opinion, the Western liberals are just as supremacist as the Right when they say the Chinese should get rid of their government and adopt the Western system when the Chinese are happy with things as they are.
Retired Ambassador Chas Freeman says that the Western establishment won't give up hostilities towards China until the Chinese stop being Chinese.
Level of Happiness
Among 29 potential sources of happiness, people across the world are most likely to say they derive “the greatest happiness” from:
Saw in the Greek news this morning that 30 healthcare workers in one hospital tested positive for the virus. Okay, not good. But what makes it even worse is that 11 of the 30 had already been vaccinated with the two doses of the mRNA vaccine.
ReplyDeleteAnd let me just add,
ReplyDeleteMy parents last week both received their first dose of the Pfizer vaccine (next dose in 3 months). I asked the 20-something nurse administering the vaccine if she and the rest of the medical staff there if they had already been vaccinated. You see, I am the curious sort :) Anyways, she said they had, but, and this is what I found very disconcerting, she also said that she had already caught the virus last summer but that she still suffers from the virus's effects: fatigue and shortness of breath. Twentysomething nurse!
And the bloody varients. What an ass that Senator Rand Paul.
"variants"
ReplyDeleteHappiness in Canada = summertime !!!
ReplyDeletevariants = $$$
ReplyDeleteWhat an ass that Senator Rand Paul.
ReplyDeleteLink or details, please?
Thanks, Peter.
ReplyDeleteFunny that a so-called libertarian would not respect his neighbor's property.
3 months sounds long for next Pfizer...
ReplyDeleteYou know it’s funny to watch those two dialoguing like that (Fauci and rand Paul) because neither of them have a science degree... Dialogue like that is really what they have been trained to do
ReplyDeleteMatt, you say the funniest things sometimes.
ReplyDeleteFauci not only finished first in his class at Cornell Medical School (Have you heard of it, Matt?) but also has a long career as a brilliant scientist (Matt, "scientist"). Rand Paul is a medical doctor, too. Though a medical doctor (opthalmologist), Rand Paul also happens to be a bootlicking jerk (to Trump's great satisfaction who no doubt loathes bootlickers like Paul even when said bootlicker is licking Trump's boots.)
I know someone who skipped the usual 3-yr science (pre-med) degree program and went straight to McGill University Med School. Of course, because he, too, was brilliant.
“ I know someone who skipped the usual 3-yr science (pre-med) degree program and went straight to McGill University Med School. ”
ReplyDeleteSCARY!!!!
I know a bunch of dumb people too who have PhDs in Economics from Harvard etc and go all around the place all the time saying “we’re out of money!”...
It’s not the school it’s the methodology they are trained in that is important...
Fauci alway speaking in paradox.... not permissible in Science methodology.. is permissible in the Socratic methodology which he is trained in..
Here:
ReplyDeletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method
“ The Socratic method (also known as method of Elenchus, elenctic method, or Socratic debate) is a form of cooperative argumentative dialogue between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to draw out ideas and underlying presuppositions. ”
That is what they are doing... NEITHER is doing Science....
Here Fauicis degree:

Should be BANNED...
Hers the exchange:

This is a Socratic dialog ... not science...
If it were science there would be no disagreement... both people would simply make adjustment (katharsis)...
Matt, Fauci read out the latest scientific papers/studies to Rand. Rand just refused to listen, instead catering to his crazies (voters).
ReplyDeleteWhen Fauci (infiltered) was on Jimmy Dore, he delivered some straight talk.
ReplyDeleteBut what makes it even worse is that 11 of the 30 had already been vaccinated with the two doses of the mRNA vaccine.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. Now we can wear masks and remain in lockdown for the rest of our lives.
“3 months sounds long for next Pfizer..“
ReplyDeleteThat’s the protocol here.
I figure that when my turn finally comes , they will only have vitamin d tablets for me :(
Rand read studies to Fauci too...
ReplyDeleteThat is how the dialogic /Socratic method works... you go back and forth... eventually cut the baby in half... doesn’t work...
Lockdowns don't work.
ReplyDeleteWhere's the 'back and forth' over that issue?
Socrates is dead.
Elites prefer the Autocratic method; their minions prefer cold hard cash up front.
It wasn’t really a lockdown... there were many exceptions... Socrates is alive and well in policy politics...
ReplyDeleteCheck out the great state of New Mexico... gold standard lockdown.
