I really love sitting outside at Iconik in the morning to get some writing done, away from my house, and a crying baby I love. Usually, it is no trouble at all to be socially distant from others and comfortably situated so as to focus. Weekends, however, perhaps not such a good time to be there. Sitting beside the door was an unmasked fellow texting. He would ask each person skirting by about whether he should move, and each person would perform a polite smile. A group from California and a group from D.C started chatting in the center of the thoroughfare. "We just moved here from California", one said in code[Д]. Catching on to the code, another responded with, "We just moved here too, from D.C". The D.C. speaker went on to talk about how he is actually now living in New Orleans, but he really loved growing up in D.C. Further, he and his group were touring the National Parks for the next month or so. I have no idea how I could ever broach[Б] the subject and make it clear that the pandemic, for me, means not having friendly or familial support with a newborn at home, having no separation between office and home, a greater health risk to the community I participate in, and countless other severe limitations to the liberties of me, my family and community. I am at a loss for what to do.
[Д] I couldn't help interpreting the anti-quarantine code through the lens of a theory of adaptation. My writing goal for the day was to flesh out a theory-of-adaptation simulation based on criteria EricC sent my way. [Б] How can I assess the risk/reward value of confronting such an individual? A debate seems like a great way to help an individual grasp more tightly to their beliefs. Those individuals that most need to be confronted are those most likely to be vectors for the disease, and so the confrontation itself becomes a health risk. -- Sent from: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
