X versus Y

Facebook
I am approaching this entry philosophically, as opposed to politically. I am Canadian, anyway. I am a theologian and philosopher of religion and do not pretend to be otherwise.

This in regards to COVID-19, as I sit here, healthy, but in isolation.

In the United States, President Trump wants the US economy 'opened up' by Easter.

Every scientific and medical expert I have viewed on CNN, FOX, CBC, Global, CTV, either does not agree or at least takes a more cautious approach in regards to date setting.

I also am viewing some of the data on statistical websites.

The approach from President Trump and some conservatives is to emphasize the economy, business, promotion and the need to avoid an economic recession or even depression (X) over scientific and medical data and concerns of the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic (Y).

There is definitely a philosophical tension present, but at this point, I side more with the scientific and medical data and concerns with the spread of COVID-19 pandemic (Y). I do, however, reason that (X) is also very important, as an economic depression, especially, is very problematic.

This is also an example of emphasizing one type of intelligence and knowledge over another; economic (X) versus scientific (Y), for example, and vice-versa.

Many people favour types of intelligence and knowledge over other types and this is key in held to worldviews and opinions.

Facebook has in error blocked my second Blogger website, Satire Und Theology from posting entries on my Facebook business page, Russell Norman Murray, PhD. Facebook falsely claims I violated community standards with a recent entry where Kenneth Copeland is on a YouTube video stating...

Quote: The Devil's tryin' to give me the flu

Further, the Blogger entry and the associated Facebook entry contained the following comments from me:

Presumptive theology in regards to God, Satanic beings and humanity, and making money in the process.

Obviously, my entry was not supporting Kenneth Copeland's claim.

I will double post my Satire Und Theology entries (here) until Facebook fixes this mistake on their part, in order for my work to appear on my Facebook business page. I have reported this Facebook error to Facebook thrice now. I have not yet received any reply.
