We’re Just A Confused Species In An Awkward Transition Phase

By Caitlin Johnstone: Really, when it comes right down to it, things are a mess because humans are in a very awkward and confusing stage in our development as a species.

Our giant brains evolved faster than we could adjust to, and now we’re these scared little apex predators stumbling around the earth with massive prefrontal cortices overlaying a bunch of deep primordial conditioning. A rapidly developed capacity for language and abstract thought strapped on top of a fear response that our distant evolutionary ancestors developed to help them run away from long-extinct monsters with big sharp teeth.

This sudden change has left us in a transition stage where we haven’t yet gotten the hang of the immense power which now erupts from within our skulls and gives us the ability to shape our world to our will. Like how the ancient mammalian ancestors of whales probably looked awkward when they first began reentering the sea, before they got the hang of swimming and their nostrils moved to a location more conducive to breathing in the water.

It’s left us at this weird, uncomfortable stage where we have the intelligence to do amazing things, but haven’t yet developed the wisdom to use this newfound capacity in a harmonious way.

More Cases Of The Monkeypox Confirmed As This Sickening Plague Continues To Spread Among UK Gays

“We are particularly urging fudge packers to be aware of any unusual rashes or lesions and to contact a sexual health service without delay.”

By Michael Snyder: It is just 24 hours later, and the number of confirmed cases in the UK has more than doubled.  I told you that I would be keeping an eye on this story, and there have been some alarming new developments.  When I wrote about the monkeypox outbreak in the UK yesterday [story below], there were three confirmed cases. Now there are seven, and authorities can’t explain why it is spreading. This is a disease that is not supposed to spread from person to person easily, but apparently some human to human transmission has been happening in these new cases.

According to UK authorities, the four new confirmed cases are all “gay or bisexual men” and none of them have recently been to Africa…

Four more people have been diagnosed with monkeypox in the UK, bringing the total number of cases in the latest outbreak to seven.

The Battle For Control Of Your Mind

The new symbol of totalitarian repression is “not a boot, but an algorithm in the cloud: emotionless, impervious to appeal, silently shaping the biomass"

Authored by Aaron Kheriaty: In his classic dystopian novel 1984, George Orwell famously wrote, “If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” This striking image served as a potent symbol for totalitarianism in the 20th Century. But as Caylan Ford recently observed, with the advent of digital health passports in the emerging biomedical security state, the new symbol of totalitarian repression is “not a boot, but an algorithm in the cloud: emotionless, impervious to appeal, silently shaping the biomass.”

These new digital surveillance and control mechanisms will be no less oppressive for being virtual rather than physical. Contact tracing apps, for example, have proliferated with at least 120 different apps in used in 71 different states, and 60 other digital contact-tracing measures have been used across 38 countries. There is currently no evidence that contact tracing apps or other methods of digital surveillance have helped to slow the spread of covid; but as with so many of our pandemic policies, this does not seem to have deterred their use.

The UK NHS's Most Serious (And Avoidable) Errors Of 2021

The most frequently seen malpractice in this stretch of time was surgery being performed on the wrong part of the body...

By Tyler Durden: If you’re about to go under the knife, you’d like to think that you will be in safe hands. And while you almost certainly are, with millions of operations being correctly performed each year in England alone, as Statista's Anna Fleck details below, doctors and nurses still slip up in a small number of cases.

According to new data released by the UK’s National Health Service, a total of 379 medical malpractices called ‘Never Events’ were recorded between April 1, 2021, and February 28, 2022.

The term is defined by the service as “serious, largely preventable patient safety incidents that should not occur if healthcare providers have implemented existing national guidance or safety recommendations.”
