Early on in our current era of apologism, there was a narrative that masks were detrimental to social interaction because folk couldn't see one another smile.
This despite the fact that a true smile is in the eyes, not the lips.
Now we're at stage where the narrative is that masks prevent identification by the #FifthEstate.
This despite the fact that, once again, identity is found more in the eyes than in the mouth, the nose or the chin.
Almost as if being seen was always about how we see.
