Ebola and The White Guilt -- Stefan Molyneux

Stefan Molyneux is irritated - a scathing look at the rampant incompetence - including claims of racism - which have infected the mainstream conversation and hampered action to contain the Ebola outbreak.




This is exactly my own thoughts on the issue as well. The fear mongering about the virus itself, the doomsday mutation scenario, is silly. The path to meaningful mutation is not likely. I rolled my eyes at the concern for mankind's inability to deal with it.

What I did find troubling was our ruler's inability to deal with it. The bureaucrats have poisoned the incentives to deal with this issue to the point where all the agencies helped spread infection more than they've prevented it.

The next obvious step will be a heavy handed outburst of fevered fumbling to look like they are in control, mobilizing for show as much as out of ignorance. They made the mistake of pushing the usual scare mongering that so often sends us rushing into their clutching hands. Normally, such things keep people enthralled. However, if there is an actual problem they are failing to address in a way they can't keep quiet, then they've only stirred up people to look at them while they fail to solve the problem.
