Masks
"Before we can discuss, can you please put on your mask?" Masks are becoming negotiation tools in the world we are to be socially distant. Soon, we are going to have SI Units for touchy Feely disgust. Trespassing is persecuted! What I have realized is I really don't need to be authentic - without a mask. The risk leads to death. It's the nakedness of my vulnerability I must protect. Does it matter whether we smile at each other anymore? I don't think so! The Alternative we have is to be compliant cogs. Smile to the Camera, and let those who like click a button. Type what you may and let those who want to agree take note. Our social contract are now algorithmic - Nothing personal, strictly business as far as we get to be concerned. Happy Holidays.
