I just had a dream…939G…

I just had a dream…939G was leaving for Japan. An old Japanese dude showed * the various traditional dresses that * can buy and wear on * first day in the country. And just like that, I said goodbye 2 times. No response.
And I think that was it.
Dream over.

Steel work!

I am sincerely focused on learning at least 10% of this highly detailed task that I’m working on. I’m coming from a strong structural background on reinforced concrete stuff but I’m quickly astonished at how much dedication these guys are doing seeing the intense precision work they have drawn/ modeled so far.
Also, I was greatly flattered at StM’s approval that I should be recognized at each sheet that I’ve worked on. StM’s is a great guy. I’ve heard so many praises on his work and legacy in the companies that he’s worked on.
Right now…really fired up to get this bridge done by the 2nd quarter of 2020.
…
Covid-19 says hi by the way.

….
hahaha!

the majority is always wrong

The majority is always wrong.

How do we judge success in the fight against Covid-19? Do we just delay the long term effects and want to see our numbers to a decent level and watch our charts reflect the flattening curve?

Even before my country’s president issued a soft quarantine last March 12… Even before my company decided to limit its business operations and go Work From Home…Even before 20 years when I was in college, reading books about humanities, existentialism, metaphysics in our library not directly related to my BS Architecture course…I was already having thoughts of world scenarios like the current one we’re going through.

Social Distancing, proper hygiene, travel restrictions, quarantines, self-isolations, etc.
Many countries took on this pandemic with a variety of action plans/ policies but I really think that each should have studied it deeper and deeper. The only problem on that “studied” thing was the urgency of the matter. Time is of the essence. Well, at least to match with their chosen policies anyway.

Groupthink phenomena is almost always dangerous.

IMHO…

We need to protect a certain number/part of societies (e.g. The Elderly-who have less capability to defend against viruses taking note of their many-many maintenance medicines reacting to it, The Young kids who have underdeveloped antibodies)

I think in between those parts, they should be the ones to “actually ride it”.

I think the term “fighting” does misled us to the meaning of the term. At the moment, does the human race know of the enemy? I mean, fighting someone in the simplest sense is like battling/ struggling against a tangible enemy. Something understandable/ knowable. In time we will get closer to a solution that will deal with the virus problem. I mean, can we just be honest to ourselves and take this one maybe as just another mystery. Maybe another mystery that may unfold in months/ years to come.

I’m not even going to delve into the virus’ supposed origins.

OK…so

Can we just let it pass. I say, Let it pass.
Use Herd Immunity logic to ride through it.
If a certain minority gets “successful” with the immunity it would be need really need strong political wills to get more than half the population to act as the natural herd to give true reason to the logic. If people can close their eyes, choose between protecting their parents vs protecting the nation, and still agree to the logic, then it may well work in modern times.

In a democracy, how long can you keep a lock down. How long can you tell you people to stay home?

How long can you lock people up in a democracy ? People will get tired of it. People will become impatient.
In a democracy where mini economies judge life’s qualities by the day.

Unless you tinker with people’s freedoms, you would be giving people reason to react against your policies. The new policies being implemented are not carefully studied so the bad effects of it will always come to a point that you wouldn’t have the correct solutions. Almost always, this will surely lead to long term negative effects.

Political strength is needed to endure whatever decisions they chose.

Waiting for a vaccine would take too long as only a small number of people are capable to study it. Giving people false hopes of a surefire vaccine may backfire.

Waiting for a research and development, I think wouldn’t work on an impatient modern society.
It wouldn’t work in a impatient modern democracy. A democracy so used to quick solutions.

5 years ago, Bill Gates was on a stage warning attendees of a conference that the world is not ready for the next major pandemic. I think his talk was mainly to strike awareness on the recent epidemics of SARS, Ebola, Vika, MERS-Cov viruses.

Although I always believe in my own logic that the majority would always be wrong at any one point in time of a certain situation, I’m pretty confident that as a member of the minority I may also be in the wrong too.

I think that life was really designed to be incomprehensible at times. A certain kind of mystery may help humanity a loooong way. Maybe learn from it???
