Tim Robbins and the "New Religion" of COVID

The Federalist blog posted something interesting this morning and it comes from a surprising source. 

But first...

From Wikipedia:

Intellectual honesty is an applied method of problem solving, characterised by an unbiased, honest attitude, which can be demonstrated in a number of different ways:

• One's personal beliefs or politics do not interfere with the pursuit of truth;
• Relevant facts and information are not purposefully omitted even when such things may contradict one's hypothesis;
• Facts are presented in an unbiased manner, and not twisted to give misleading impressions or to support one view over another;
• References, or earlier work, are acknowledged where possible, and plagiarism is avoided. 

This morning, I saw an example of intellectual honesty. It was from an interview with actor Tim Robbins by comedian and social commentator Russell Brand concerning how COVID-19 has become a "new religion" embracing forced conformity and censorship.

Robbins has always been a far-leftie in Hollywood, but what he has to say about the "new religion" in the article is a great example of intellectual honesty. There's nothing there that I disagree with.
