Basically, I have found the philosophy of the Law of One and this community valuable in contrast with the do-as-we-now-know-you-must-or-be-doomed philosophy of the Cassiopaean Experiment. The difference in that regard is a main way in which this place has its heart in right place, in my opinion.
There are many "mind viruses" -- self-reinforcing belief systems which use people in a parasitic way to spread to other people, sometimes bringing about mad or stupid things in the process. It's a negative example of meme-complexes, memes being that which is copied, as studied in memetics. Richard Dawkins likes to discuss the Abrahamic religions in terms of such mind viruses. Memes live a life of their own, as information-organisms of sorts, and variations based on religious hopes and fears arise similarly to new viral mutations and strains very often, using already available ingredients in the minds of people to assemble themselves functionally, "click into place", and begin to influence inner and outer behavior.
I speculate that the abstract world of memes is like an interface between human consciousness and higher-density realms and beings. I think the religions of the world provide something along the lines of complicated "software ecosystems", where a lot of stuff always runs in the minds of billions and perhaps links them to abstract beings of a different kind who may or may not have something to do with the emergence of said teachings in 3D.
Some of the ingredients in the latest vaccine-centered scares are old and well-known. "This time", so the sales-pitch for the ideas go, it's really real. Nevermind how the pattern echoes back through history in many old variations. In a way, it's funny that so many viral memes about viral issues are spreading. One standard BS tactic included in what Aaron summarized is this: claims that some ineffable but important part of one's being is at immediate risk (in this case, extra strands of DNA not known to science are mentioned) -- an easy way to motivate.
