AmericanKulak says
I wouldn't even put "and" in that.
I see their motives. Money and power - at the expense of public health, public trust, the economy, and everything else.
Truly an epic crime against humanity by Bourla, Fauci, Collins, Daszak, Gates, and many others.
They will all hang for this if there is any justice, but our justice system looks corrupt now too.
they just distrust your policy solutions to the science and your motives behind ths policies

People can request you to trust them on the merits, but if they demand you trust them without examination, then fuck them. They are whoring science as a magic talisman for the superstitiously beguiled. It does work in the short run. I guess they think nobody will last long enough to find out.

They have Chinese electronics that have bolts and metal weights passively added to make them seem weighty and substantial when they may have just an ultralight mass produced circuit.

The thing people always get wrong is that places like Vermont or Copenhagen—idyllic ethnostates where people leave pies out for strangers and the currency is old timey "put it on my tab, Sam" type ledgers—are great for the people who have lived there for many generations, and yes, the descendants of those people are responsible for allowing them to be destroyed, but you cannot recreate such places from scratch.
They take years of organic cohesion based on highly communal, Tall Poppy Syndrome-type principles that grind down bad behavior via a panopticon of grandmothers and aunts. Attempting to build them from scratch is what happened during the New Age Movement in California—it ends in geodesic domes, group sex rites, and megalomaniacal cult leaders, not "low trust societies." Just look at all the attempts at "network states"—all are clearly headed towards weird techno-cult status.
To build true high trust societies requires centuries of hardcore religion, anti-market cooperation, and the pressure of outside forces attempting to constantly take your sh*t (a la natives or imperialists). And even then, what do you end up with? A bunch of great great grandchildren so bored that they either leave to become urban sodomites or stick around and demand that local resources be dedicated entirely to empowering distant foreigners to move in.

I don't trust:
Doctors,
Scientists,
Women,
Mainstream Media.
Dentists,
Orthodontists,
Musicians,
Adolescent children,
Bosses,
CEO's
CFO's
Divisional Heads,
That's enough for now . . .

We are often told to “trust the science,” but the science of trust is to earn it; you can’t force people to trust you.
2. In recent years, however, little has been done to earn the public’s trust. For starters, there is no THE science as science is a developing thing. What’s more, to claim “the science is settled” is strange as science as a topic is about constant study.
How can it be settled?
3/ Besides, if you have the numbers, show it. Why do you need to ask for people to trust it? Furthermore, many people “trust” “the” science, but they just distrust your policy solutions to the science and your motives behind ths policies that you want to impose on the public.
4/ Lack of trust-building has been ongoing during the COVID-19 outbreak. For starters, how many times have you seen @ScottGottliebMD referred to in media only or mainly with the impartial-sounding title of “Former FDA Commissioner” without being told that he is on Pfizer’s board?
5/ I don’t mind Scott earning a living and selling books from his past work, but when media - the alleged anchors of truth - propagandize you on such basic stuff, how do you want the public to “trust”? I know that some shows/articles also add that Scott is on Pfizer’s board,
6/ but it’s not on all TV appearances and news articles, and his former work is mostly in the lead. As a “Former FDA Commissioner” you assume that he has different interests or obligations than as a board member of a C19 producer but you keep getting his former tittle, mostly.
