Anons, those who have been involved here from the start, or fairly near to the start, will have been self-selected. We arrived and chose to engage. We brought skills and experiences and raw talents and predisipositions. We formed a community of sorts around truth seeking and fact finding. It was ruthless and productive and bone-rattling challenging.

And much good has come from what we have done, here yes, but also beyond. There is a reason we came here. You and I.

And then Q.

Think of a sort of social-psychic immunity to certain social and pyschological pathogens. Yes, this is endemic here and in other places we've struggled/flourished/worked.

The hard fact that we are alone but we are not alone, is not always a comfort. And now we who have chosen to know will be entrusted with the kernel of civilization. We will be like the Irish monks who kept Christianity enflamed and safeguarded it for the future of humanity. You need not be a Christian to understand this analogy.

Whether we would have chosen this or not, whether we could have done something to prevent it or not, we are at the entrance to the chasm. Nothing will stop this. People have to be shown. Most cannot stomache it and will switch off and possibly collapse into their own demise. Some will continue but without an attachment to reality. And many, many, many will peek at the truth and turn away, marked, harmed, traumitized, and rendered feeble and pliable.

That leaves some of us. Each will not how we will fare until we walk through the hazards and accept what is so as to come through the other side, possibly. Some of us will not make it. We are solidiers in the most basic sense. And this is a war in the minds.

The only way to test your immunity, such as it may be, is to breathe and live. Some will choose to know. Pray that enough of us will also choose to live and breathe, because it will take a critical mass for civilization to survive this.
