Mind Viruses On The Increase
Back in June of 2020 I wrote an article on mind viruses. Hopefully I don’t repeat myself, as since then the number of viruses has increased.

Richard Brodie wrote an interesting book some years ago called Vitus if the Mind. He wrote of how viruses work, how they affect what we do, say and think.
