Modern Man

-
Modern society live in a fantasy world of computer games, moving pictures, and social media. The idioms of the language and allusions are taken from popular culture in these media. They do not live in reality. They mistake social media and moving pictures for reality. If Marx was alive today he would said that this is the masses's opiate. Modern Man is saturated with chemicals. Its side effects some known but most unknown. Some in the form of colouring, preservative, flavouring, or sweetener. Others in the form of medicines and cleaning agents. Everything is artificial and synthetic, from the food to the light. Who knows what effects there are on our development, our minds, our hormones, our behaviour, and our well-being. Modern Man mistakes snark and sarcasm for wisdom, wealth and pleasure for accomplishment, hedonism for success, and consensus for righteousness. Many do not hold an original thought or have an doubt or skepticism as they appeal to authority and appeal to the majority. Modern Man does not seek the Truth or Righteousness, he only seeks his own selfish desires and satisfactions. Yet he seeks moral authority and to be called virtuous but being too lazy to sacrifice, he thens merely signal it.

If you run them like how you run infrastructure you might end up putting more into repairs and losing more through machine breakdowns that causes delays and backlog of cases.      Human resources are the one that requires the most down time because the longer you work them the more mistakes they make and in the end you spend more time cleaning up mistakes than clearing the backlog. The most they should be worked is 12 hours and that is pushing it.     So if you have 2 scope rooms they have to be running 24 hours a day except for cleaning and maintenance. 3 endoscopy systems to be shared between the two rooms, each one only on for 16 hours a

If Professor Neil Ferguson were fired from the Imperial College

So Professor Neil Ferguson has  resigned but here now lies an opportunity for Malaysia; if he were to be fired we would do well to hire him on the cheap for a year or two let him rehabilitate and redeem himself, write a few papers with us, and after his time in purgatory he can go back to a cushy job, which he will, in the United Kingdom but by then we would have learned his kungfu and modelling skills.
