Nope, I'm a poster child for the subject called Philosophy, something you appear to have not bothered to read.

You couldn't be more wrong about me. I've always been liberal. I always vote 'left' too. But unfortunately people insist on using the wrong words, so 'liberal' is now meaningless. People think PC is a synonym for 'left wing' or worse, 'liberal', which is bullshit. PC is a radical sub-group of the so-called 'left'. It's just as stupid to say that dogs are mammals, therefore all mammals are dogs.

The ''author'' is part and parcel, all inclusive of the story.
So this statement is just more conceptual traps.

There are punctuation errors, including missed commas and improper quotation marks. There is also an incorrect noun and verb correlation.
I am blind in respect to spelling errors.

Scientists must remember to exercise care with the decimal point.
The same experts who said that 500,000 will die from coronavirus in England have revised the estimate to 5,000.
Sounds like with all the scientific guessing going on, some genius put the decimal point in the wrong place.
Second-guessers* take note. Fertile ground.
