The Daily Skeptic might be asking an interesting set of questions (don’t see much declaration in the passage) except that these are questions you would ask of some entity that screwed up unintentionally. Even allowing for some mass formation, I am really hesitant to offer this opportunity to spin to exculpatory answers to people who were ‘just doing their job’— an excuse that failed at Nuremberg. We have longstanding norms of science that have simply been breech by depraved hearts that have nothing to do with technology. That’s like saying the crimes tried after WW2 were the result of various “fascinations” with new technological and propaganda methods of population control and mass murder. Denial of early treatment and use of Remdesivir in light of the trial evidence is enough to charge murder in some degree. On a spiritual note I would share an interesting bit of guidance I came across reading Meditations on the Tarot — which is a heavyweight on every page so I may never come to the end. All the cards except one card invite meditation — but the reader is advised not to meditate on the card concerned with “fascination” with evil. Why? Because there is no bottom. Fascination with evil we do not understand is a bottomless pursuit. I’m not talking about fear based mass formation or even run of the mill early childhood stunting that produced sociopaths (relationship downregulators). I’m taking about setting out to kill hundreds of millions and creating a variety of tools and methods to do that. When they start popping up with - we enjoyed killing the useless eaters and our inferiors — then you’re getting closer to the truth. Start asking them why they leapt over the norms of science and public health safeguards when it was obvious there was only a harm story in evidence. In the end, evil is a thing unto itself, and cannot be fathomed, but can be named.

There is great wisdom in this:

Wow! Root of evil, great wisdom, Hermetic tradition in Christianity-- where else can one find such a conversation in the middle of a plandemic? May I offer a bit of sobornost from the late N.Berdyaev: "dark meonic freedom" is the pre-'good and evil' Origin of Creation. In scientific (rather than philosophical) terms we're talking about 'initial conditions. 'Me on' versus 'ouk on' were Platonic categories of non-Being or Nothingness. Paul Tillich disclosed those categories as relative versus absolute nonBeing respectively. 'Dark' refers to 'as yet undisclosed' --not yet good or evil. Berdyaev advocates that all creativity e.g. mRNA is either in the relative direction of the Originator's intent or Absolutely not. It is a fine e.g. "fascinating" distinction. [ http://www.berdyaev.com/berdiaev/berd_lib/1930_349.html ] Interesting problem definition: How to maintain BOTH free creativity AND relative Being.

We're also talking about mRNA gene therapy technology as an instance of Augustine's Eighth Day of Creation (unless you're a literal six-dayer).

I advocate against a zero=sum Origin.
