Media and Politics weaponized science & ignored nuance. Aquinas provides solutions. [E221]

Rona Started out unifying the globe and political parties around, Thomas Aquinas would say everyone was seeking to “Preserving Life, and Intending the Good”. . . but it wasn’t long before the “SCIENCE” wasn’t settled, and conflicting world views began to collide on a magnitude equal (or greater than) the magnitude of the problem the Globe was, and is, facing. The course of action that was at first “common sense” was vilified in the media and the one world splinted once again into warring faction all arguing their facts, science, and common sense. . . We break down how what could have been a unifying fight turned into even greater political and social fracturing. A few driving factors was:1) Politicizing Data and Science2) Media fear mongering3) Quest for power and controlWe break down how we can begin to weigh the difference of world views and pull back into a harmonious balance the polarized conversations and arguments through breakdown worldview using Aquinas' Four Laws to understand where we SHOULD have nuance in public policy, and where we shouldn't . . . helping those who stand for rugged individualism see how those pushing for centralized control are intending the good. While helping those who support centralized control understand the trade off and arguments being made for individuals taking their own risk assessment.   Links:Operation Warp speed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Warp_Speed#:~:text=According%20to%20the%20Department%20of,to%20accelerate%20the%20development%2C%20manufacturing%2CMayo Clink How to wear Mask: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-mask/art-20485449WHO Risk of mask: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/06/who-updates-guidance-on-masks-heres-what-to-know-now/Do masks harm: https://ratical.org/PandemicParallaxView/MasksAreHarmful-Meehan2020.htmlDo masks work if work properly 65% effective: https://www.ucdavis.edu/coronavirus/news/your-mask-cuts-own-risk-65-percentWhen should we trust the Science: https://www.mitre.org/sites/default/files/publications/pr-21-1187-when-and-how-should-we-trust-the-science_0.pdfDeath & Lockdowns: https://www.city-journal.org/death-and-lockdownsAquinas Four Laws: https://people.wku.edu/jan.garrett/302/aquinlaw.htmUntil next time… Be a purpose seeker, discern the Truth, and own the future.To take more steps to live a focus life to achieve your dreams and fulfill your destiny–get my book Anchored the Discipline to Stop Drifting.  https://amzn.to/2Vwb22nThank you for listening, and as always you can find me at:WhatsApp: +1-202-922-0220LucasSkrobot.comTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lucasskrobotLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucasskrobotInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lucasskrobot ★ Support this podcast ★
