An Angle on Covid.

It struck me today that for most of human history, human beings have had two things the other animals don’t – art and philosophy. And then we created a third, and employed our by now very complex and very clever communication skills and called it technology.

Maybe that’s where we went wrong, because it encouraged the growing – albeit unspoken – delusion that we are capable of controlling everything.

Meanwhile, good old Mother Nature stayed at home, quietly humming in that self-satisfied way she has, finding new ways to kill us.
