The Geek's Raven
[An excerpt, with thanks to Marcus Bales]

Once upon a midnight dreary,
fingers cramped and vision bleary,
System manuals piled high and wasted paper on the floor,
Longing for the warmth of bedsheets,
Still I sat there, doing spreadsheets:
Having reached the bottom line,
I took a floppy from the drawer.
Typing with a steady hand, I then invoked the SAVE command
But got instead a reprimand: it read "Abort, Retry, Ignore".

COVID is Good!!

COVID is, actually, a great blessing in disguise. Great plagues frequently are. They shake things up, they make people think, they upend the status quo, they eliminate corruption. We can see, in real time here, the utter and absolute incompetence and corruption of the scientific community and the health care industry as a whole. They have feet of clay, they lie systematically, they pretend to understand things they have no actual comprehension of whatsoever, and they make a fortune doing so. They are snake oil salesmen, and are genuinely proud of it, as a group. And now, this is perfectly obvious, to almost everyone. As a result, we can, possibly expect some constructive change in the near future. Some meaningful science for a change, instead of mere bureaucratic corruption. Remember, the Black Death was, effectively the best thing that happened to Europe in a thousand years. It triggered the Renaissance, and the birth of modern science. God Bless COVID!!
