Hypothesis Discovery

The pandemic situation is turning our personal lives into corporate ones.   To enter into personal contracts, we have to become like a miniature version of a corporation.  To be able to sign anything, we need to maintain a good subscription relationship with the providers of the tools that make the signature possible, even if we want a contract for someone to walk our dog.

As with the door lock where the fully expected response is to clean up the corrosion and to remember to check the batteries more often, the body's response to the vaccine is to clean up the noxious stuff and be more prompt about cleaning it up in the future.   Missing from our expectations of the vaccine response is the analog of my immediate decision to replace the entire lock.

In this blog site, I frequently discussion my own fantasy government that I called a dedomenocracy.   One key feature of this government is that instead of asking the population to democratically choose policy, it asks the population to demographically define how to measure the greater good.  When some future crisis occurs, what does the population prioritizes and what is the population willing to sacrifice.   In such a government, I can not imagine that we would agree to sacrifice our younger people (and especially not our young women) for the benefit elderly peopla (and especially not old men).   We do not live in a dedomenocracy.

The entire scenario reminds me of stories of ancient civilizations sacrificing the lives of young women to appease the gods into granting good fortunes for the greater good. The vaccination program may turn out to be the modern equivalent of this sacrifice, but we will do it on mass-production scale.

There is a need for another network for the rest of the population.   I would call it the Internet of Trash.  Instead of the pretentiousness of publishing something, we would discard ideas into the Internet of Trash.   The trash becomes available for others to poke through, but this is trash.   One should not be offended by something someone threw out as trash.  If they think is it valuable, they can publish it themselves, similar to how people offer their findings on eBay.  I just want an Internet that will take my trash.
