Yes, It’s hmk spamming time
The posts on each idea are going to be quite short. I am running low on time.. Trying to cram finish my assignment for 2511 3 days early (for the first time ever!!1111!one!! (yay))
Human Weakness - Corruption
There's corruption everywhere. Humans are naturally inclined to choose the option which best benefits their self interest. However, this also means that it is easy to get what you want once you have identified what someone else wants. Noone wants a lose lose deal.
It is easy to exploit our natually corruptive tendencies through manipulating human emotions. I.e. Once you have convinced someone that you two have the same motives or interests they are most likely to trust you and do what you want them to do for you.
A big flaw in the idea of communism is expecting us to follow the idealogies behind the ant colony. This structure has a drumroll, that's right! Single point of failure!! DING DING DING
Once one level is corrupt, it is very difficult to fix the system. Even in the capatalist system, people desire money and status, and without doubt, there are always some levels of corruption at play around us.
Human Weekness - Selfishness
mfw I'm still doing last week's one. THATS OK! THE POINT IS THAT I'VE DONE IT RIGHT?
Selfish desires are very closely linked to corruption. In fact, they are probably what instigates corruption. Even if we don't want to, we probably act on our self interest.
Self-interset has the capability to fuel our brain and convince us that desire of corruption are feasible and amicable. It's the actions we take in our own self-interest which lead to corruption.
We all go around saying people are selfish. But is selfish necessarily bad?
Balance in all things.. Sometimes your actions are more aligned with your self-interest, and sometimes you need to take a few steps back to reconsider what is best and how to possibly get the best outcome.
Make a data-breach prediction
So, remember how snapchat was a thing? (Ok maybe it still is but.. IS IT REALLY?)
On snapchat, you can save your photos to a cloud file called 'memories.' Is that secure???
I predict that it will leak into the world, causing a major data breach.
FIRST OF ALL, I can't even predict what I'm eating for the next meal. Sometimes I get in queue 100% sure that I'm going to order NOT nachoes this time, but I end up ordering it anyways.
Bold prediction of the day: My email is secure.
It probably isn't.. the amount of times I've given it away for random things, and the fact that I change the password once every 5 years makes it super insecure. But the real question is, does that change how I interact with gmail? Well, no, because I somehow trust that google and gmail by extension is relatively safe.
HAHA! That's where you're wrong. I can't wait to feel insecure and vulnerable as the end of the term approaches.
This was mentioned in the lecture. In the recent Hong Kong petition with millions of people walking through the streets, there were quite a few people who were injured and had to be registered into the hospital. However, their information was passed onto the police and they were arrested coming out of the hospital.
This is a massive data breach. Essentially the hospital has turned them in and now there is a lack of trust between doctors and patients. This will mean that patients will refuse to give doctors relevant information, doctors will no be able to assist and governments will have citizens without proper medical care. This chain of events all be derived from data breach.
Which brings me to a point. The NSA was literally accused of monitoring US citizens and here is Trump, assuing China of doing the exact same thing. This guy just wants China to die no matter the expense - even if it means sacrificing your own country. #self-interest #corruption
This brings me to the conclusion of my blog post. YOU DONT HAVE TO DO EVERY SINGLE POST they said. "noh."
