Margaret Anna Alice on bad cattitude

[Margaret Anna Alice]

So sorry, Birdingmom. I hope it helps in some way. I wish I could offer advice, but as you can see from my repeated failures, I haven’t yet figured out how to crack the impenetrable Covidian programming.

[Birdingmom]

I think for him, it started long before covid - an unwillingness to learn from others/being unteachable.

I wouldn't label your attempts as failures b/c you don't know the end result for those who read your essays. See yourself as a gardener: they are seeds planted, others water and someone else may reap the harvest. 😺❤️

Ah, good point. Indeed, that close-minded intolerance has been sown in the culture for a long time, achieving peak fanaticism during Trump’s presidency and perfectly conditioning people for their Covidian programming.

I like the gardening metaphor—that’s a positive way to look at it :-)

[Birdingmom]

Brilliant observation about the connection between TDS and conditioning for covid! He's been checking the boxes for awhile now.

To Birdingmom's well made point, you broadcast the seeds, some may be eaten but some may bear fruit after they travel

I think there's a widespread reluctance to acknowledge that they've been conned, to ineptly paraphrase Mr Twain's observation.

As with the shrink and the light bulb, first they really have to want to change...
