1. The lounge is for the CodeProject community to discuss things of interest to the community, and as a place for the whole community to participate. It is, first and foremost, a respectful meeting and discussion area for those wishing to discuss the life of a Software developer.
The #1 rule is: Be respectful of others, of the site, and of the community as a whole.
2. Technical discussions are welcome, but if you need specific programming question answered please use Quick Answers[^], or to discussion your programming problem in depth use the programming forums[^]. We encourage technical discussion, but this is a general discussion forum, not a programming Q&A forum. Posts will be moved or deleted if they fit better elsewhere.
3. No sys-admin, networking, "how do I setup XYZ" questions. For those use the SysAdmin[^] or Hardware and Devices[^] forums.
4. No politics (including enviro-politics[^]), no sex, no religion. This is a community for software development. There are plenty of other sites that are far more appropriate for these discussions.
5. Nothing Not Safe For Work, nothing you would not want your wife/husband, your girlfriend/boyfriend, your mother or your kid sister seeing on your screen.
6. Any personal attacks, any spam, any advertising, any trolling, or any abuse of the rules will result in your account being removed.
7. Not everyone's first language is English. Be understanding.
Please respect the community and respect each other. We are of many cultures so remember that. Don't assume others understand you are joking, don't belittle anyone for taking offense or being thin skinned.
We are a community for software developers. Leave the egos at the door.
cheers,

I may have this wrong...
"Let us pursue the ineffable and see if we might not eff it after all." -- Dirk Gently (?)
At least I'm not the only one effing it up:
"Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we might not eff it afterall."
"Let us do the undoable, let us think the unthinkable, let us ponder the ineffable and see if we might not eff it after all."
"... we humans grapple with the ineffable to see if we might not eff it after all. Of course, there is effing, and there is effing. I can't say I believe we honestly have the right to eff the ineffable, no matter how much we want to."

Complex organisms tend to evolve over time into even more complex organisms; with even longer gestation periods.
Simple organisms, like viruses, tend to reproduce faster because they are "simpler". They also tend to devolve into even simpler (and deadlier) strains by lopping off parts during a mutation that encourages even faster reproduction.
As the virus is allowed to reproduce unchecked, the chance of a "bad" mutation increases.

I seriously can't tell if you're talking about COVID (and viruses in general) or humanity as we seem to go down in a downward spiral

I've met a few, seemingly complex organisms devolve into a more simple/stupid state and they seem to reproduce at an alarming rate.

If I get your message right ... You think you should have been harvested long ago?

Technically speaking, a virus is not an organism. It's just a piece of DNA wrapped in a cover that enables it to slip into your cells.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.
