One can modify one's definition of Life so that a sufficiently sophisticated toaster is alive, or one can try to build a sufficiently sophisticated toaster, until our currently accepted definition of Life applies to it.
If Fairness equals same opportunities, then that implies it would only be "fair" (Fairness) to have a Eugenics program, resulting in every child born being of identically high IQ and other character traits, physical abilities, health and talents.
I am not arguing in favor or against Eugenics - just making an observation.
The way forward is sturdier masks that last "forever", with removable filters that can be sterilized in boiling water, exposure to the UVC in sunlight, drenching in household bleach or thorough washing with water and detergent.
This is exactly the way the Czech Republic is going, with several companies now churning out such masks and the government being the bigger buyer. Stockpiling billions of expiration-sensitive disposable masks is more expensive, compared to pre-distributing one reusable mask to every citizen.
But they give no scientific arguments for that. They simply voice an ill-argued opinion that basically amounts to that they do not BELIEVE in IgM antibodies for Bb s.l., even though the test objectively does show them in a large number of people diagnosed and treated for Borreliosis.
You're right about the quacks and the delusions. I have auto-immune issues after a Bb infection and after three years of high-dosed Doxycycline I still tested positive for IgM (active infection). Tested by a German state-accredited reference lab. I'm self employed and never asked for disability money, never kept going to doctors to try to solve the issue. I now have CFS and Rheumatoid Arthritis and when I stop taking Doxycycline (I try that all the time, I hate taking pills), I get severe neurological problems, such as incontinence and my breathing stops all the time and many other symptoms such as extreme tachycardia in rest, aggression etc. Something is wrong. Does Doxycycline manage my CNS inflammation or are there still spirochetes?
It explains the Ether (EPOLA, Electron-Positron Lattice) and states the many proofs for that, as well as explains many hitherto unexplained physics phenomena such as Mass Inertia, the speed of light c, Gravity and the Pauli Exclusion Principle.
You'd think the concept of "Ether" is debunked but after reading the book you'll be convinced it is real.
