[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's stupid to burn public trust for arbitrary guidelines that have no basis in science.   It was stupid to shut down a reasonable theory when all we had were theories anyway.

All this destroyed trust in institutions and frayed the public cohesion.  [/quote]

Please explain how speculating on the origins of the virus helped Americans in spring of 2020.
Did if affect developing treatments?
Did it help us getting a handle on testing and tracing? [/quote]

Is there some rule that you can only think about one thing at a time?  Do you frequently shut down thoughts or conversation that doesn't address the objective an inch from your face?

People process information differently. Present minded people are task-oriented, practical, solve the immediate problem types.  The past can't be changed so it doesn't matter and the future has too many variables for them.

Past-oriented people are methodical,  relentless,  detail-oriented and dig into all the facts to understand why something occurred.  If you don't understand history,  you are doomed to repeat it.

Future oriented people are good at speculation of current situations and imagining possible outcomes of different paths.

There is value to all approaches.   There is no reason we couldn't both investigate amd speculate about the origin of the virus that upended our society AND have people focused on the practical tasks of developing treatments. [/quote]
