@instablog9ja The saddest part is that it’s our people who aid the irresponsibilities of government. It baffles me how people could defend irresponsibilities and failures.
@jon_d_doe Even though most of his message off me, I was most disgusted with the aspect of her asking him to take a loan from his family to finance her Master!!! No no no……….
If she enter that US lasan, s’o pe otilor
A common misconception among Science and Technology people is the idea that they determine the fate of humanity and they run the world.
Actually, the world is entirely ruled and dominated by those who understand the Humanities. It is not those who use test tubes and operate EUV machines that chart the course of history. It is those who understand and wield the levers of Economics, Money, Business, Politics, War, History, Government, Sociology, Marketing, Media and Anthropology.
It is because Humanities are infinitely more important than Science that all major Pharmaceutical companies - which purportedly exist to cure diseases and save lives - have a spreadsheet where they compare the potential financial revenues from any new medicine to the anticipated financial costs from compensation for injury and death resulting from it, and the decision to launch the drug into the market or not depends on how big the difference between both numbers is.
The white-lab-coat Science Guy may have taken a Hippocratic oath to save every life when he can and to do no harm, but the black suit Business Guy who is a shareholder in the company that pays Science Guy's salary, has no such concerns and sees human lives as numbers on a spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, Lab-coat Guy is little more than an employee. A tool. Whatever Business Guy or Politics guy or Government guy wants him to do is what he will do. So Lab-coat Guy will use his lifesaving knowledge of medical science to develop bioweapons for Government Guy.
He will accept funding from Racist Politics Guy to write research papers claiming that Black women feel less pain than white women during childbirth, and shouldn't be given anaesthetic.
Business Guy who pays his salary will instruct him to use 200 innocent children in Kano as nonconsenting subjects in a medical trial where 11 of them die and half of the remaining end up with life-changing injuries - and he will do everything he is asked.
During a pandemic. Business guy will lobby his friend Government Guy for expedited permission to market an unfinished vaccine, and then make Lab-coat guy push out that experimental vaccine to millions of people without knowing anything about its side effects or contraindications.
Government Guy will then make a law that Lab-Coat Guy's friend Tech Guy who owns the social media platform where people complain about the vaccine must label anything that threatens Business Guy's interests as "vaccine misinformation" and restrict their accounts.
If thousands of people end up dead or disabled as a result, and Government Guy can no longer help, Business Guy's good friends Legal Guy, Journalist Guy, Money Guy, and PR & Marketing Guy will be drafted in to save the day so that Lab-Coat Guy can go back to working on whatever next he is asked to.
The world is ruled the Humanities, not by Science.
Do with this information whatever you see fit.
