The meek won’t be inheriting the earth any time soon

COVID-19’s effects on media (and on the national Zeitgeist) are reminiscent of those of 9/11. The media have gone into full hero-worship mode, and the professions hailed as heroic are precisely the professions whose vetting process is basically hazing—the military, the police, the firefighters, the doctors and the nurses. Put another way, shit hitting fans in dramatic world-changing ways is the diametric opposite of Jesus’ prophecy about the meek inheriting the earth.
