As we watch this pandemic spread and we watch also the reaction to the pandemic from different governments, from different organizations, we are seeing a true symbolism happens moment.

And often symbolism also happens in a world where symbolism seems to have been forgotten.

And because it is forgotten, there actually might be a tendency to go into extremes

and to manifest the extremes of different aspects of symbolism.

So one of the questions that has been coming up has been the question of borders,

the question of purity, the question of exchange, in terms of the economy and in terms of dealing

with other people, and trying to find the balance between the two. So we're going to look a little bit

once again at the symbolism of these different terms and try to understand how it is we can

avoid falling into excesses.

This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world.

And so we have all accepted, it seems that all the governments of the world and all the different societies seem to have accepted that the solution to this problem is to emphasize borders.

It is to create borders at every levels of reality and especially at the personal level.

Now, when you see how people are emphasizing, a lot of people have

wondered why is it that people who are more left-leaning in their politics are seeing to be

emphasizing more the personal border, that is, self-isolating, whereas people who are more right-leaning seem to not want to emphasize that so much

and rather emphasize creating a border at the state level or at different communal levels.

Now, this is not that difficult to understand. Now, if you are someone who is pro-state or pro-globalization or pro-

as the left-leaning people in politics tend to be, then you realize even intuitively, without

necessarily thinking about it, that there is a danger of clamping down

at different levels of identity.

And you don't want that because you want the state, you want the government level to be

the strongest.
