Hello all,
?
on a lighter note¡
?
I¡¯ve just read this argument pro vaccination (from the archives) by Roger Rawlings:
?
?
It mentiones seat belts as a comparison. The argument for vaccination is even better than the argument for wearing seat belts, according to Roger.
?
This made me think of a situation, in which a then co-worker of mine, in an anthroposophical organisation, intentionally did not wear his seat belt. I remember being astonished, because I thought the only reason not to wear your seat belt was because you forgot. But he put on the seat belt when there was a police car in sight and afterwards put it off again immediately. Unfortunately I didn¡¯t ask him about it. He was very into anthroposophy - a real believer.
?
So my questions are these: where does this behaviour come from? Does it have a link with anthroposophy? Did Steiner mention seat belts in his lectures (not many cars around back then)? Have some of you seen similar behaviour? If you say the argument for vaccination is better than for seat belts, does that even work on people who believe you should not wear a seat belt for some reason in the first place?
PS: a little search on the internet revealed that there is a broader movement of people not wearing seat belts intentionally, as an anti-government statement (or pro-freedom if you wish).
?
That makes me think: do anthroposophists wear bike helmets? ;-)
?
Just curious (as always),
