Inject Yourself with Disinfectant

Thank you, Donald for that bit of advice. I’ll just pop round to the chemist and get some!
Well, of course most sane thinking people would have been incredulous at that bit of advice and dismissed it out of hand. And that is dangerous.
The fact is that although the advice is, on the face of it absurd, we need to look a little bit beyond; by simply dismissing it, we may miss something.
Trump has in fact given us a universally understood platform on which to base what I hope is reasonably intelligent discussion based on logic.
We are all individuals; we all think differently (see first part of my J&B post).
Nature not only enables us to think independently, it actually Forces us to do so. That means there may be those in the population at large who have made up their own minds independently, to follow Trump’s lead whatever he may say. Hence an immediate rebuttal of his view had to be made.
So, apart from the “blind followers” who or what else would follow Trump? The logic of a computer.
And this is the point: we have (or will have) the software tools available to us that enable us to commit to logic any concept we have in mind provided that concept is achievable in the real world.
I’ll try relating what we all know in this forum to what we’re currently experiencing with Covid19.
There is a huge range of knowledge behind the posts in this Forum. They are, of course directed at X Sharp, and behind each post is a person.
I know, too, that there is a broad range of experience and “knowledge outside programming” residing in the brains of those here. How do I know? Well, I’ve read the posts. And that has taken TIME.
Time is the common denominator whether programming or disease/infection spreading through the body. There is huge read-across from software development to a way of finding some way of alleviating the worst effects of Covid19.
Somehow, we need to co-ordinate the relevant knowledge that resides in the individual mind.
For example, it seems likely that disease progresses in the same way as a running application follows a number of non-deterministic paths (under user control) leading to a final deterministic path to achieve the required objective.
We need the knowledge to devise a system which controls interdisciplinary thinking, which I am sure resides here.
We need the breadth knowledge within broad range of disciplines which may reside here.
The fact is any system must cater for any input idea including our Donald’s.
