re: #71 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

That’s what I liked about World War Z (the novel, not the movie) I am not much of a zombie fan, but the story is less about zombies than about humanity’s inability to deal with an existential crisis: first we ignore it, then we deny it, then the governments take clandestine steps to contain it (while still denying it to avoid panic) which then fail or even work the opposite of their intended effect, then megapanic sets in, then finally, after countless unneccesary losses and sacrifices, we finally figure out how to contain things.

Don’t forget that in-between the denial and the (ultimately futile) efforts to contain it is the gaslighting stage (“The virus is a form of rabies/flu and can be treated with Phalanx/Ivermectin!”).
