What If? With Brian J.

What if the world government overreaction to the current unpleasantness is designed not so much to flatten the current ICU-utilization curve but is instead designed to acclimate people to living in confined spaces and communicating on video screens because They know an asteroid is going to strike Earth in 2024, and They want people prepared to live life on the generation-ship Teslarks that will carry most of humanity to the stars before the asteroid strike?

You read too much science fiction, Brian J. you might say.

But I really don’t read all that much science fiction at all! But when I do, it’s from before the modern era, where the themes are more about current goodthink shibboleths rather than the fate of Humanity, which contains a lot of badthinkers.

UPDATE: Friar spreads a conspiracy theory.
