Wheel of Time Spoilers
Still there is much to unpack in how often Aes Sedae are magically compelled into servitude or control by men. I might be wrong but it feels to me like Robert Jordan feeling this powerful organization of women needed to be "put in their place"

Finding the Kin, the Windfinders, and the Wise Ones have their own organization and power has been cool. Still I would have enjoyed seeing that their teaching methods let different types of learners thrive and more of their differences. The wise ones are the only ones that get that sort of development

I like that the Aes Sedai are shown as the story progresses to not be as wise or as powerful as they want to believe. They have strength due to their organization, history, and research but their own infighting and bias undercuts them.
They spent centuries not looking for women with the talent and its winnowed their numbers and raw power

Content Warning: masks and COVID 19
That all said I do think how we culturally and governmental policy discuss the topic of disease prevention (masks, vaccination, the important step of washing your hands) has been largely a feast of ashes and regret
Content Warning: masks and COVID 19
I might be wrong in my way of thinking but *shrugs* there it is in general.
Hopefully all have noticed the very self involved way I have spoken on this matter.
Content Warning: masks and COVID 19
So for wearing a mask is an act to avoid other people getting ill with things I might be carrying. Even if it only decreases infecting others by 5% or 10% that seems worthwhile as wearing a mask is not an imposition for me in daily life.
To be faie I tend to treat vaccination the same way: a way to decrease others getting ill and becoming less of a vector.
I will admit as a furry a chance to wear silly animal faces is also fun.
Content Warning: masks and COVID 19
My general opinion is I am not a virologist or expert (though I dabble due to interest I doubt I could be considered a hobbyist)
My very general view is that masks CAN work depending on type, time, place. However, my general view is also poor protection against getting ill (for one thing our eyes are lovely vectors for viral infection).
Rather it is a tool to avoid others getting ill. As in by wearing one I might be able to stop infecting other people.
