It is a little bit out of topic, but I heard so many things... always somehow related to conspiracy theories, for example that cancer would be easy to cure if big pharma would just provide the cheap drugs they hide instead of the expensive stuff we get...
Ok, we have known labs, but no one is saying "it was me" or "I have been working on how to create viruses" or whatever similar, so this would at least require a hidden program, which allows a flow of creative conspiracy thinking.
The truth is that it is much easier to live with the idea that some bad or clumsy man or woman did it, so we would now be on the safe side because clumsy people realized that they have to be careful, and bad people will now be better controlled (or that we could vote for a super strong leader that would control them).
In the Covid thread, there were few links to articles saying that we don't have yet the technology to be able to develop DNA without scars (I mean here without signs allowing to identify the origin of the sequences), and that the virus doesn't have any such scars, so it can't be a man made virus. I've tried to find it back with the search engine of the forum, but didn't find anything.
There is a German philosopher who said that the impact of COVID is difficult for us to conceive because it is the first time since more than one generation that we have a world wide problem without solution. In normal cases, we really had time to handle the problems, and in many cases, the problem disappeared before the discussion was over.
Some people say that with the AGW, we don't have a problem, but a predicament.
Predicaments
A fundamental premise of the work at this site, the book and the blog is that we face predicaments, not problems. Problems have solutions, predicaments do not. When faced with a predicament we can respond and adapt, but we cannot make it go away. It is this way of thinking that lies at the basis of the second theological point, Accept and Adapt.
https://newcityofgod.com/2020/09/02/mission-statement/I believe that this is also true for Covid19. We shouldn't talk about how to continue our living with Covid, but look at what we need to change in order to go forward.
I would go in this direction.
