| All viruses are male. |
|
So, at about that time, I respectfully submitted to my friends at Chicago that they should be looking to the future and not to the past. Many of faculty and staff at Chicago are part of the Baby Boom and they should be very concerned about their financial future. There's a need for frankness and honest dealing. There will also be a need to look more closely at Chairman Greenspan�s legacy. While he did do some worthwhile things, he was also the author of extreme corruption. A corrupted system makes it more difficult for people to trust each other and work together. Thus, for example, Greenspan has perhaps been an impediment to a better understanding of viruses, because he has made it hard for me to make my voice heard. The level of corruption needs to be reduced if answers are going to be found for the gigantic baby boomer retirement dilemma. And as the Baby Boom gets older, flu and other viruses will be a constant threa for all retirees. So we need to know more about viruses--and to simplify thinking when possible. Although only four words long, the statement that, "All viruses are male," does simplify--while also summarizing numerous considerations. In addition to stating that all viruses are male, I've also worked out a mathematical model for how, in the course of evolution, microorganisms acquire information. This is relevant to such matters as bird flu and drug-resistant bacteria. I'd like to bring it to the attention of academia and/or the pharmaceutical industry. I find that dificult to do because my intellectual property rights aren't being respected. And, of course, if MY rights are seldom respected by anyone, maybe people simply DESERVE to get sick. I add this as a parting shot so the reader won't dismiss me as excessively soft-hearted. Be warned: the photo at left might (or might not) depict how I like to think of myself. An Indianapolis TV reporter once called me, "the most dangerous man in America." I think that was excessive. "The American most inconvenient to the corrupt power elite," would be the sort of thing a politician might say about himself, and a trifle immodest. I'm not a politician. But if I'm causing problems for others, I think that's more because of what others have done to me than because of what I've done to others. Beginning of this material |
