Sunday September 15, 2008 Smart people--particularly those employed in some sort of a "security company"--will not hesitate to ask smiling indulgently, "How do you know there are aliens? Have you seen one?" Now, the problem with those smart people is, they are never sufficiently smart. The right answer to the last question above should be, "How do you think they look like? They might look exactly like you or I." THE KEYBOARD PARADOX You may think Mr. Ee is a bit strange individual, but that is only in the way he speaks. We met with him few days ago. While talking about History, Physics, and alien Civilizations, we presented him one of our PCs--the finest one we had, our pride, the COROLLARY THEOREMS Slave XVIII. Soon, it became obvious Mr. Ee was both computer and PC illiterate. Well, sort of. Particularly shocking to Mr. Ee was the fact that all keyboard buttons were colored black. He kept on asking why would someone design abut 100 buttons in the same color. We couldn't provide a sound enough answer. Indeed, if the keyboard buttons were colored in bright colors of red, white, blue, green, purple, orange and so on, the keyboard would be far more easy to use, more appealing to the users/customers, and it would show a lot higher level of intelligent IT design. The paradox comes from the fact the IT industry is the most developed one on our planet today. Note that the competition to sell the IT products is the fiercest one ever; still, for about 20 long years, nobody ever thought of coloring the keyboard buttons in bright, appealing colors. Why? The IT companies struggled and struggle to employ the topnotch professionals, the cream of creams, yet their results are so conservatively lousy. How is that possible? Each button on our greatly abused keyboards is shouting loud and clear, "COLOR ME BRIGHTLY", but nobody hears. Each dull colored keyboard button is a good business chance lost, only the "smart" IT CEOs are far too busy cashing in ... And all this is going on the same since the very beginning! Now, if we consider the corollary of the theory, that reality is never what it appears to be, then things may start making some colorful sense ... THE DAY THE BEES ARE DYING The bees are dying in N. America, and in Europe. We kill them. We kill them with most of the money that are donated irrationally to the "cancer research" propaganda. As things are now, the hell ceased being paved with good intentions: it is paved with sheer stupidity. About 40% of the existing bee population ten years ago is extinct today: billions of innocent, hard working, tiny little creatures. Of course, the "scientists" are investigating the cause, only they look at exactly all the wrong places. Fairly soon they are going to come up with some genetically engineered bees to fix "the problem"! The honey bees are dying due to the genetically engineered plants we "implement" in our food. Over 90% of all agricultural products we eat in N. America and in Europe are genetically engineered. Luckily, the human body is able to "take that" for a while longer; however, please have no doubts we also are going to be very, very sick in ten or twenty years form now. As for our children, and the children of our children ... whatever. The Global Picture in News this week is, tiny or apparently insignificant details are extremely important in monitoring and analyzing the state of our actual--or "real" if you prefer--Civilization. |
