The Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi pops to mind which is said to acknowledge the three realities that nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect. But that brings up the very obvious question, is impermanance itself impermanent? If nothing is finished does that mean we are finished with things being finished? A more difficult question is perfection. If nothing lasts, nothing is finished, and nothing is perfect, isn't that in some sense perfectly imperfect?
Japanese aesthetics give me the headache.

"The voice of intelligence is drowned out by the roar of fear. It is ignored by the voice of desire. It is contradicted by the voice of shame. It is biased by hate and extinguished by anger. Most of all it is silenced by ignorance." - Karl A. Menninger
"Our medically controlled Health Boards cook up fake epidemics, create panics for profit, such as the ones in Kansas City in 1921, Pittsburgh in 1924, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington in 1925. An effort was also made to create a panic in New York in 1925, but due to the open fight against it by the New York Evening Graphic, the Commissioner of Health called it off." - Herbert Shelton, late 1920s
"We need to increase public understanding of the need for medical countermeasures such as a pan-coronavirus vaccine. A key driver is the media and the economics will follow the hype. We need to use that hype to our advantage to get to the real issues. Investors will respond if they see profit at the end of the process." - Peter Daszak, Eco-Health Alliance (Published February 12th 2016)
