| A New Dark Age for Human Immune Systems? Dear Daily Prophecy Reader, Yesterday we shared the seemingly miraculous story of Taiwan’s near imperviousness to the virus underlying the COVID-19 pandemic. Most epidemiologists, grasping at straws to explain this phenomenon, cited the government’s quick action and superior public health policies as the reason for this minor miracle. Dr. Sunetra Gupta and Jeffrey Tucker of AIER say it was nothing of the kind. They assert that this level of immunity could only be attributed to Information Theory. Let’s explain… This New Technology is about to reach "Critical Mass" Pols Don’t Remember, but Immune Systems Do The reason Taiwan suffered so little from the epidemic was its previous ordeal as the epicenter of the more deadly coronavirus SARS CoV 1 in 2003, when Taiwan led the world in per capita deaths. That experience didn’t train the government officials now claiming credit for mastering COVID, but rather the immune systems of the Taiwanese. Their antibodies and T-cells were ready for COVID, not because of policy choices, but because of biological learning processes. Sunetra Gupta believes the huge growth of the world's population during the twentieth century was largely an effect of globalization imparting similar biological learning processes on human immune systems. For the first time in human history, viruses propagated everywhere. As a result, human immune systems were trained to suppress them. Through the cosmopolitan spread of immune system learning, the world escaped a grim perennial cycle of devastating local plagues and extinctions. From the point of view of information theory, immune systems experienced a learning process comparable to the learning process that produces economic growth. Just as global trade conveyed new technologies and industrial practices to countries around the world, thus fostering competition and spurring growth — the spread of global tourism, immigration, and air traffic educated immune systems everywhere Wealth is knowledge, growth is learning, and money is time. This is my information theory mantra. These rules apply not only to economies everywhere, but also to immune systems and their memories. Globalization is the paramount learning process across the board. |
