Moral Bioenhancement - Quareness Series 174th "Lecture".
It's 2025...the year of the tipping point?
The covid19 pandemic of the last few years had brought many medical ethics issues to the forefront, including the notion of giving people collectivism-promoting "morality pills". Some people in declining to wear masks or take vaccines (or even doubting "climate change") had been seen as lacking "moral qualities" and had forced the ethical question of how to induce those who are noncooperative to get on board with doing what's best for the public good. Thus did morality come to be redefined as a collectivist mindset of credulity and compliance.
Over time it came to be seen that this problem of the defectors could be solved by "moral enhancement". And in line with the notion of beefing up one's immune system by getting vaccinated, people could take a substance (e.g. psilocybin or oxytocin) to boost their cooperative, pro-social behaviour. But what if the sceptics wouldn't "take the blue pill"?
This dilemma could eventually be resolved by making such moral enhancement compulsory or even administering it secretly (e.g. via the public water supply). Such an approach could be "justified" with wide public support on the basis of weighing against other values e.g. does the good of covertly dosing the public with a drug that would change people’s behaviour outweigh individuals’ autonomy to choose whether to participate? Should this be perceived as too heavy handed, a more "comfortable" approach might lie in presenting small individual losses as justified in the name of collective well-being...mass vaccination being a well-documented example of what we might term "collective easy rescue".
We've now reached the point where those medical ethicists, world changers and disinformation fighters appear to have grown so self-absorbed and self-righteous that they think their way of thinking is the only right way and consider any deviation from their mindset to be antisocial, divisive and subversive. In their "safe" world, freedom is dangerous, truth is misinformation, favouring personal liberty instead of their "welfarism" is selfish and immoral and needs to be dealt with (if necessary through covert action). And their opponents need to be silenced and/or "enhanced" to induce compliance and lower critical thinking.
How did we get here?
Back in 2022 the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario Canada seemingly recommended that all doctors might consider psychiatric medication for their unvaccinated patients in stating - "It is important that physicians work with their patients to manage anxieties related to the vaccine and not enable avoidance behaviour. For example, for extreme fear of needles (trypanophobia) or other cases of serious concern, responsible use of prescription medications and/or referral to psychotherapy may be available options. Overall, physicians have a responsibility to allow their patients to be properly informed about vaccines and not have those anxieties empowered by an exemption."
Such concerns led on to even more absurd "guidelines" that misinformation perpetuated by the anti-vaccination movement may be the root cause of more deaths and side effects from any vaccine. A mini review of published literature had been conducted and found that mental stress clearly causes vasoconstriction and arterial constriction of the blood vessels. Therefore, if subjects were panicked, concerned, stressed or scared of the vaccination, their arteries would constrict and become smaller in and around the time of receiving the vaccine. This biological mechanism (the constriction of veins, arteries and vessels under mental stress) is the most likely cause for where there had been blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, dizziness, fainting, blurred vision, loss of smell and taste that may have been experienced shortly after vaccine administration. The extreme mental stress of the patient could most likely be attributed to the fear mongering and scare tactics used by various anti-vaccination groups.
As a cynical comedian might have put it - “The psychiatric diagnosis has been issued. Prepare your buttocks for the injection. And while you are at it, please note that, according to your carbon tracker, you’ve eaten too much meat this month, and too few insects. And if you have any objections to the carbon tracker, we’ll adjust your psychiatric diagnosis.”
See the new normal becoming "reality"...
The ultimate goal of every ideology...
Just the way it is.
See "consensus reality" manufactured by
Constant repetition of official narratives
As unquestionable axiomatic facts.
For the rulers what really matters is
Whether we follow their orders with
Conforming behaviour and thinking.
Though the weather may improve
And the scenery outside change,
The destination stays the same.
Lost on the road to totalitarianism,
The only question is whether
We're normal or deviant.
