When you wish you had a crys­tal ball, or not.

I lis­te­ned to this while wri­ting this post, try it while you read :o)

This post is the thir­teenth of a series of fif­teen posts about free­dom during the COVID-19 cri­sis. These posts must be read in order, star­ting with the 6th post would make abso­lu­te­ly no sense to the rea­der. Enjoy rea­ding and above all, enjoy reflecting.

Given that fear is the main moti­va­tor of iner­tia or irra­tio­nal beha­viour, that risk gene­rates fear, that cou­rage is some­thing that deve­lops, but also that dete­rio­rates over time, indi­vi­dual free­dom has it tough. It takes effort, some­thing we don’t like to do. The easy option is iner­tia. If nothing else moves, it streng­thens us in the short term. Even abso­lute auto­no­my seems inter­es­ting, but here is some news: The world was crea­ted not on indi­vi­duals wor­king in paral­lel, but on indi­vi­duals wor­king in series. Inter­de­pen­dence is the mother of free­dom. What a paradox!

Here’s the rea­son why real poli­ti­cians are so care­ful about chan­ging things. Eve­ry change must come in its own time. A change may see the contra­ry hap­pen a few decades later if the cus­toms have chan­ged. Howe­ver, if we try a change that does not match up with the popu­la­tion, beware of the back­lash, it could cost you your head (figu­ra­ti­ve­ly). So this is an explo­sive cock­tail, an invi­sible ene­my, an infil­tra­tion of our ranks without the car­rier even kno­wing it, a fra­gile health and eco­no­mic system.

To be conti­nued tomorrow…
