New Zealand

By | August 10, 2020

Increasing noise and global problems
Decreasing global cooperation and trust
We live in a world where
One tweet can shake the political and economical environment
in the world
Who can you trust?
So much chaos
So many people yelling “pay attention to me!”
“ME. ME. ME. I am right! You are wrong! I know better! I have three PHDs!I have gazillion dollars! LISTEN to me!”

Under the tragic pandemic,
People losing lives,
Political powers are doing the same dance
Nothing new.
Elections looming.
How can I manipulate more people to vote for me?
How can I be rich and take advantage of a pandemic?
Nothing new.
But,
Computing powers, the sheer volume of data collected through surveillance and the deep understanding of brain science,
Make it possible for
A machine, to control us, easily.
A machine knows our desires better than we do
Our dirty little secrets
The machine knows
All.

Can you imagine what politicians would do with such a machine?
Do you think they won’t use it on you?

For, what seems like a fight for pandemic cure,
Is a fight for political and economical power.
And the fight just started.

We think things will be better once a cure or vaccine is out.
Will some Americans take a foreign vaccine or medication?
Which company is going to be licensed to produce and sell the vaccine and medication?
Who gets the medication first?

Oh. Good luck to all.

On the other side of the world,
New Zealand has zero* Covid-19 cases
Kids are going to school

* I woke up with news reporting New Zealand has discovered one community case.
Stay safe everyone.

Now, your turn, any thoughts? I care to know.
