In some respects, it seems rather redundant to differentiate today's covidians from neo-racist wokes, technocratic authoritarians, or even just nihilists from any group possessing intolerant puritan-like manners of thought, throughout history. Some might even call them apaths.

In all likelihood, this is an eternal problem, an archetypal problem, a bimodally dependent path of rationalization for which a consciousness believing itself to be biologically dependent must continuously make a choice. 

Though this may be an eternal problem, it still needs an interface through which to be dealt with, and context to be understood as a structure developed with its own characteristic progression.

Just as the core components of an operating system are that which deal with primary CPU registers that hold what we might believe to hold a value, one could, without context, believe that the value is nothing but a mess of information, lacking temporal/functional chronology and hierarchical placement. Without such context, the same value is itself burdensome and blinding, rather than helpful and insightful. It could even be compared to a particular toanl structure resonating in timespace, and its requiring harmonic context, or even surrounding material context, to give it remarkable meaning and purpose in place of that which might otherwise be perceived as resonating in a static form - a resonance which, on its own, vibrates as an unnerving and menacing cacophony wreaking havoc on the senses.
