I believe it’s in this podcast where you talk about the mentor that thought you how to critically think. I’m interested in that 👀 Mostly because of my corporate job, but also to maintain as a life skill. Could we continue talking about it?

As a 23 year old I felt called out at minute 26-27. I have considered to "get covid" so I may free my mind of it. However, as you further talk about solidarity, that's what's driven most of my choices as when I have the opportunity to go out, along with the strong recommendations of my corporate job to stay at home. In Monterrey, Mexico, masks are mandated if you're outside, but inside businesses they "allow" people to walk freely without one. I find those decisions, by those who are in power, counter effective. By looking that the general public is careless, to my taste, with COVID situations, I decided to support the vulnerable population by not not going out and potentially spreading the virus. I feel very tempted to go back to places I feel "required", like a gym. As an early bird, I can be in and out of one before 7AM, avoiding congestions. Where I'm getting at, people appears to be unconsciously aiming for a herd immunity. I disagree with that choice, had we taken better steps to flatten the curve. Now we're too far on the curve to try and flatten it, thus I'm thinking to "go forward with the herd" in a conscient state of mind. Utilizing a mask and social distancing, disinfecting surfaces and avoiding contact if not necessary. PS, I would love to give feedback more often but typing is not what I prefer doing in my spare time, I hope I explain myself.
