One of the things either learning lots of religious theology, or lots of philosophy, or lots of "law" is one learns much of language is actually not language but instead a language game.

We are arguing over things like Culpa, Me Maxima Koopa ( )

Our true obligations may not be about whether we are actually at fault or not at fault, guilty or not guilty, but instead we need to create a "system" where we reduce harm in the first place.

To not make the language games, the enemy of the good.

What Fionwe is trying to do (and you can argue whether he is succeeding or not) is not to demonize Trump but to prove a 1:1 correspondence of how Trump's misinformation hurt people even if that person is a lunatic fool. He is trying to do this to make us more skeptical of Trump's logic and authority for Trump has other prescriptions that may be smart or stupid, but when you are dealing with a Virus that spreads so quickly, and has a 2 week consequence (most patients need Hospitalization day 10 to 14 of the infection) we need to act now with the best information for in 2 weeks it will be too late.

I am not saying Fionwe is doing this artfully, nor am I saying it is his responsibility or my responsibility to solve this problem. In reality someone should tackle trump off screen and read him the riot act even if they will get fired 3 minutes later for something needs to change if we live in a mechanical deterministic universe, like a food processor

Perhaps though this world is Absurd? And if this world is Absurd, maybe Faith is all we have?
