RE: A rant about the ability to know certain things, specifically in regard to the origin of the recent virus.

in #writing5 years ago

It is true that we often speak in a matter of fact way and overgeneralize situations, especially when they fit into our own belief system. Perspective bias. Our brains are full of biases. In the case of the virus, I don't think that anyone knows for certain where it originated. At best we can only make an educated guess so it is kind of silly to say matter of factly that one situation is impossible or stupid to think about or question while another is absolutely correct. That's like the age old superiority complex in humans, believing that our ideas are superior to others. Silly.

I don't know where this virus came from personally. My brain has gone to all sorts of possibilities though. In the end I personally think it's probably just a naturally occurring mutation. Situations where people or animals are over crowded and under stress are essentially breeding grounds for viruses. Low immune system functioning and easy/fast transmission. But again I don't actually know and am open to any idea.
