MOOT POINT:
“An issue regarded as potentially debatable, but no longer practically applicable. Although the idea may still be worth debating and exploring academically, and such discussion may be useful for addressing similar issues in the future, the idea has been rendered irrelevant for the present issue.”
_____________________________________________

A guy bursts into your home screaming insults and obscenities and starts stabbing your family members with a big knife.

AT THIS MOMENT:

Would you spend time wondering whether he just found the knife on the ground or if he bought it at a store?

Would you stop and ponder whether he’s trying to kill your family because he’s really evil, or if he’s mentally ill, or maybe even being paid by someone?

How much time would you spend thinking about how weird his clothes looked, or if he sounded funny as he screamed obscenities? Would you stand and laugh at him? Try to understand what he was really saying?

FUCK NO!!! You’d do whatever you could to save your family and wouldn’t stop until he was subdued or dead.

The cops can figure out later whether he got the knife at Home Depot or Lowes or if somebody put him up to it.

Court Psychiatrists can worry about why he did it.

And you wouldn’t waste time critiquing his wardrobe or deciphering his mad ravings.

THEREFORE

Don’t waste time right now wondering/debating if COVID-19 occurred naturally or if it was made in a lab.

It doesn’t matter anymore whether Trump is REALLY an asset of Russia, or a mobster, or crazy/stupid/demented/immoral/misunderstood. We’re way past that point.

Stop trying to decipher his crazy bullshit. Total waste of time.

And who cares how fat and funny he looks in his shitty suits, or his ridiculous orange make up and fucked up hair? We can laugh about that when we’re all safe again.

Those are all MOOT POINTS.

RIGHT NOW WE JUST HAVE TO STOP HIM AND DO WHAT WE CAN TO SAVE OUR COUNTRY.

Focus on that. We can talk it out to infinity once this is over.
