Humanity is one because Truth is one. Reason unites us. Deliberate in good faith even with madmen and tyrants… and the Good will follow.

It appears that Sanjeev did not bother trying to understand the ontological foundations of my moral argument against vaccine mandates. By denying the objective distinction between Right and Wrong actions (which is the domain of morality and ethics) he implicitly invalidates his own position, which is also moral/ethical insofar as it asserts what ought to be the ‘correct/valid/true’ distinction between right and wrong actions (a judgment implicit in the generalised concept of “costs” vs “benefits”). https://t.iss.one/sanjeevsabhlok/11300
“The Australian Human Rights Commission is examining the human rights impacts of Australia’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a chance for you to tell your story about what happened to you.” Until AHRC will acknowledge that the right to life was violated by vaccine mandates and publicly apologise for their failure to exercise jurisdiction when it mattered the most, they lack any moral or professional credibility. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/email-to-australian-human-rights

Hitchens's razor ("what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence") is a paradox (Hitchen’s paradox), since it is asserted without evidence. A rational refutation of any claim made without evidence must be supported by evidence, which is of course available. A consistent razor could be formulated as follows: any claim of knowledge asserted without evidence is false (and must be rejected) because it violates the law of non-contradiction (and thus negates itself). https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/derivation-of-the-principle-of-sufficient-reason-from-the-law-of-non-contradiction

Governments: ‘we need more soldiers to kill one another and any non-combatants standing in the way’ in patriotically motivated defence of their local branches of our global banking cartel.
It is a folly to assume that doctors, activists or politicians who show sympathy or express agreement with your concerns have Your best interest at heart instead of Theirs. It is also a folly to assume that their idea of self interest is aligned with yours.

Public officials are, in general, not personally liable for causing harm if they acted within their authority and bad faith cannot be proven (i.e. intending to cause harm). This makes artificial intelligence, algorithms and incompetence such effective covers for systemic corruption. The system is evidently designed for systemic corruption.

Vaccine mandates discriminate against the innate biological characteristics of the human race, on global scale, and as such constitute the greatest crime against humanity ever attempted, targeting all of humanity.. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/discrimination-on-the-basis-of-vaccination

Hospitals imposing mask mandates on patients are in effect refusing to provide medical care to humans in their natural, innate state; patients are required to performatively denounce their innate constitution as a kind of illness, denounce their breath as a defect.

The pursuit of decolonisation is at best meaningless, at worst self-defeating, a tribal vanity project. We are all human, and to be ‘colonised’ by other humans does not change the fact that both the ‘colonised’ and the ‘coloniser’ are still human, rational beings who possess the capacity to deliberate and generate common meaning. Colonisation brings us together, transgresses the tribal boundaries, challenges our inconsistent cultural conditionings, and relativises insular traditions, compelling both the colonisers and the colonised to deliberate, to come to terms, and thus to affirm our common humanity as the sole source of meaning.

Perpetual expansion is not an essential feature of capitalism but of the banking system based on credit, in which interest can be paid only by means of more credit.

No progress was made against vaccine mandates in general. The legal and political debate was carefully limited by the ‘medical freedom movement’ to “does not prevent transmission and is not effective” and other Covid specific technicalities, which does nothing against future mandates that are bound to take coercion to the next level, fast and hard. People are now used to pandemic messaging, to compliance and to peer enforcement.

The Covid event made it clear that human rights conventions and legislation give no protection against fundamental rights abuses but are used solely to justify human rights violations. ‘We have to deface you, lock you down, medicate you without consent, discriminate against your innate constitution, even kill some of you… to protect others from the risk of illness. We are also entitled to kill as many children as necessary to destroy military targets nearby.’

The right to life does not entail the right to be saved from dying, let alone saved from the risk of dying, but only not to be intentionally deprived of life. It does not entail protection from the acts of nature but from the acts of governments and corporations.

No anti-vaccine-mandate politician in Australia dared or saw fit to ask the following two questions at the Senate Estimates. Why not?

Dear Senator,

I would like you to ask the Minister for Employment and Workplace Relations the following questions at the Estimates:

1. Do you acknowledge that vaccines occasionally kill people?

2. If yes, do you acknowledge that when an employee is required to receive Covid vaccination as a condition of employment, that employee is in effect required to participate in a work-related activity where a percentage of employees are expected to die as a result of their mandatory participation?

Still spreading lies under the guise of criticism.

One way to neutralise the right to life is to inflate it to include health or safety, which is related to Everything, and is therefore nothing in particular. It makes the object of the right indiscernible and thus open to legally unconstrained determinations and substitutions by the ruling power.

Conspiracy theorists implicitly legitimise the political theatre as Reality (with scripted exceptions), and are therefore part of the show, actors on the same stage. Their job is to provide the mass audience with an ‘independent’ confirmation that, for the most part, they are witnessing unscripted reality rather than just political theatre. It would be absurd to ‘debunk’ theatre as theatre, unless the aim is to convince the audience that they are witnessing ‘raw reality’, that there is no stage, no actors, no show, no script. For this to be possible every pivotal story must contain glaring inconsistencies; counterintuitively, only the inconsistencies, the gaffes, the slip-ups make the theatre feel like reality, but you can never be sure where the show ends and reality begins, making your experience hyper-real and creating a layer of psychological dependency on the scriptwriters. https://michaelkowalik.substack.com/p/a-modern-dictators-guide-to-counterinsurgency

There is too much at stake for shareholders and the corporate board of mega-corporations to allow some ‘hip’ CEO to make important decisions. On the other hand, the American mindset does not tolerate astringent accountants, soulless lawyers and ruthless executives, nor can it grasp that a corporation could be managed by a collective; it fantasises of a charismatic hero, a quirky genius at the helm of the corporation that creates the cool products they go into debt to buy. From the marketing perspective it makes perfect sense, indeed a commercial necessity, to hire an actor to play the role of the CEO/hero/genius to mediate the will of the Board and do all the acrobatics at product release events. All business is showbusiness.
