Come In Number 19, Your Time Is Up

Anyway, speaking of Corona virus, how come it’s Covid-19 that is spreading like wildfire?

What happened to Covid-1 to Covid-18?

When were they released?

How did each of them do in their trials when released into the open in China. Were the bacteriologists that created them shot for their failures?

Has the creator of Covid-19 been given a nice new big house and a fancy car, or have they been shot because they were too successful?

And moving on, if Covid-19 is this effective, what the hell is Covid-20 going to be like?

And finally, what number is it going to be when it’s the strain that succeeds and kills us all?

Cheerful I know.

All That Glistens

Is worthless. What if that was true? What if, all those millennia ago, those that chose, chose differently?

Instead of “precious” metals being gold, silver and platinum, and “precious” stones such as diamonds, emeralds et al, how about they had gone with something else. So we went with excrement, sand and hair for example. That humans hadn’t turned out to be a race of greedy magpies, attracted to only the shiniest of items. Giving them a value above any other items found on the ground or under it.

Deserts wouldn’t be seen as the harsh environments they are. They would be a hive of activity. All sorts of enterprises would spring up. Tourists would flock to see the vast array of riches spread out in front of them. When going to the beach, there wouldn’t be the constant moaning about sand getting everywhere. Yes, we would still spit out the grains of sand that had found their way into our food and drink, but it wouldn’t be in disgust. It would be in wonder at the value the little grain would hold. Those few grains of sand would be worth something. It could be exchanged for more sandwiches, or a drink, or a journey home, away from the beach and its riches.

Water companies would be paying us to take our waste away instead of charging us for the privilege. Every time we went to the toilet it would make us richer, make us useful, and there would be no inequalities in the supply. Polishing a turd would be the normal.

Hairdressers would pay you to cut your hair, and would be at the top of the food chain. Their skill would be valued. No more looking down noses at them. People would aspire to be hairdressers.

If we were to go back to the start and do this would it have made a difference to how we are now? Probably not. Even with such a change in what we consider valuable, humans have the kind of dangerous nature that would overtake the upside of anything. The big corporations would still arrive and take over. Slavery would happen again. This time all of those not smart enough or quick enough to escape capture would be put into cages and force fed to make the harvests bigger. Humans would be harvested for their waste and hair so that others could get rich off it.

All the money would flow the same way as it does today. Only those not in control would be even worse off, they would have the fate of battery chickens, or intensively farmed cows. Only any use whilst they are producing. The bald would be turfed out to die.

We would end up in the same state, regardless of what was chosen to be valuable. It’s just the natural way for the greedy human race.
