I think that being lashed to the masts of God and freedom helped people pass through the Covid Straits safely.

Also, living someplace with more physical space; the groupthink was less "tight," for lack of a better word. Being in the Bay Area may have been harmful to Scott Adams, for example. I am guessing that the most densely populated parts of the Soviet Union had the most tattlers and spies, for the same reason. What happened in rural Bavaria was probably closer to normal than what happened in Berlin.

So, I'm not in the 25% but, rather, in the mediocre middle of those who went partway down this particular road of perdition but then wised up. Such is life.

What I wonder is whether all you 25%ers on here feel safe from all potential threats of suggestibility, or do you worry about what will slip past your defences in the future? If you don't worry.....should you?

I wonder if I'm now aware enough to avoid my gullibility in the future, or perhaps have the fortitude to resist my fear?

Mark, you're sort of an End Times curious kind of guy (if I've understood some of your other essays)...what about when the Man of Lawlessness shows up?

This is what COVID did for me, it woke me up to my desperately precarious spiritual state. I repented! But it sure was humbling to see just where I stand within the herd.
