Response to Asha Gilbert’s News Article Entitled, “What is the Nipah Virus and Why is it More Deadly than COVID? A Virus Expert Explains”
Dear all,
Asha Gilbert wrote a news article for USA Today entitled, “What is the Nipah Virus and Why is it More Deadly than COVID? A Virus Expert Explains“.
I found this article extremely disturbing and not because the Nipah Virus is more deadly than COVID. I find it disturbing because Asha is trying to alarm people unnecessarily. This is what is annoying about many news articles. They try to make it seem like the news content is more important than it really is.
There are many viruses that are more deadly than COVID but there is a sweet spot where COVID happens to be where it has allowed itself to be infecting people worldwide.
This exact same news article could be written but replaced with the word “Ebola” instead – and others too. Ebola does not transmit like COVID and is far more deadly than COVID. There are many factors that come into play that do not involve how deadly it is, in terms of how rampant and how infectious a virus is on a worldwide scale.
Ebola is not everywhere because of how deadly it is. A virus can be at a disadvantage if it is too deadly in terms of how it goes from host to host.
Let’s not freak out.
These opinions are mine and do not represent any entity I am affiliated with.

Are search engines biased?
Absolutely.
I am not going to put examples in because search results change all of the time. Check it out for yourself. The best examples of showing biased results is asking the following:
Ask Microsoft Bing which engine is better: Ecosia or Startpage?
Do the same with Google.
The guts behind Ecosia is Bing. The guts behind Startpage is Google. You will find more positive articles about Google (Startpage) from Google and you will find more positive articles about Bing (Ecosia) from Bing.
I find it hilarious. The reason Google and Bing care is because when search engines use another major search engine they have to pay to do so. You can do simple searches without payment with Python but to do so on a mass scale, you would be blocked and need to pay them.

Thoughts about our own articles
Of course our articles are the best. End of story. No contest. If you ever want biased information, ask the person who did it that way.
Why are science news’ articles’ titles so hyperbolic?
When you are scrolling on your phone or on your computer and come across some article with a ridiculous title or an ellipsis, they are trying to get you to click on their content. It is annoying to me. I purposefully will not click on content that is just straightforward and without a title which contains a cliffhanger. Good heavens. Perhaps I should have written the title of this post as the following to get more clicks on my content:
“Why are science news’…”
I guess there might be middle ground it appears in this regard, right!? 🙂

What happens if you iframe the same webpage?
You would think if you iframed the same webpage, it would display itself perhaps an infinite number of times and your computer would blow up. It does not. It was kind of like having a Y2K moment – PTSD. lol.
A response to “Pythagoras: His Lives and the Legacy of a Rational Universe” by Kitty Ferguson
I read the book entitled “Pythagoras: His Lives and the Legacy of a Rational Universe” by Kitty Ferguson. Well – I should say about 75% of it. I have been painstakingly prodding myself to finish it. I consider myself a science-loving person and I love math so I figured I should learn more about Pythagoras. I enjoyed learning many things in the book but the fact of the matter is that the most of it is just drab, to be blunt. Let me summarize everything I learned that I enjoyed learning. I enjoyed learning that we aren’t really sure that Pythagoras developed the Pythagorean theorem and it may have been re-discovered independently at different points in history. I enjoyed learning that we don’t know a lot about Pythagoras and their are different schools of thought as to who he was, which is alluded to within the title – “His Lives”. Another meaning behind “His Lives” could be that Pythagoras supposedly taught that he was continually being reincarnated. I enjoyed learning about the Pythagorean “cult”. I enjoyed learning about who they were and what they believed in and how they were perceived as by their peers. For example, they were made fun of by others as being essentially derelicts and as pious, yet pompous people. I learned that Pythagoras had the most bizarre diet I have ever heard of – even more extreme than Jainism, in my personal opinion. I have, who I consider, a friend who belongs to the Jainism religion and I very much have enjoyed learning about his religion. I respect all walks of life. I think it is wonderful when someone believes something and acts accordingly.
I liked learning about how beans killed Pythagoras. Well, it was an indirect killing because Pythagoras respects bean plants and didn’t want to trample the bean field while trying to escape some people who were trying to capture Pythagoras and kill him… so beans killed Pythagoras. I enjoyed learning about how people were chosen to be the philosophers’ pupils – a lot of their decision making was based on the candidates’ behavior, attitude, and physical capabilities. I enjoyed learning about how the Pythagoreans’ group was split in two which were known as the ones who did the thinking and the ones who just memorized the concepts in more of a rote manner.
I also enjoyed learning about how music played such an integral role in their scientific minds. I enjoyed learning a bit about their culture. I also enjoyed learning about how Pythagoras’ teachings affected the incredibly famous philosophers who came thereafter, such as Aristotle, Plato, and Socrates.
That is about all I enjoyed… I decided today to not finish it. I don’t usually stop reading books but I just can’t go on. I am sure there are many people out there who would feel differently and would surely enjoy the book, however. All of the book was simply just not for me. Thank you for teaching me a lot, Kitty. I am sure you would be a fascinating person to meet! She has met with some brilliant minds (i.e., Stephen Hawking) and she has written a great deal of wonderful literature.
