I need to stop using my deductive reasoning power for evil

A colleague was telling me about a video chat session he hosts on the weekends. The team talk about conspiracy facts and fallacies and facts. He was telling me about the federal govt’s involvement in illegal body part harvesting.

“And that’s not all,” he continued, as his thought train gathered steam, “last weekend we featured people whose family members were held hostage by the medical field during the Covid pandemic lockdowns.”

He started getting more animated. “The stories were horrifying. People were given medication against their will while they were sleeping. Many died while the pharmacological companies made money off the doses. And even for those who weren’t given medication, they were put on respirators knowing they didn’t offer help. They died for nothing.”

I tied the threads together.

“And how many who died unnecessarily were organ donors?”

I could see the thought train detailing.

“Ah! I hadn’t even thought of that!”

I nodded my head. “Things don’t happen by accident. Maybe you’ve another topic for a future session?”
