> millions wat
The current "best case" scenario of your government is 100k-240k dead; less than one order of magnitude is basically nothing in an exponential crisis. 240k to a million is just two doublings.
because you're right and i respect your judgemental ability ;)
Love how the third paragraph starts all positive and reasonable then suddenly segways into "Stop the Coronavirus Corporate Coup" and then an article about how "Hyperbitcoinization" is coming and how the modern economy is going to collapse from inflation.

Hate all you want, you know an American company will probably invent the vaccine.
god bless the us :')
In an alternate reality, Newton did five pull-ups instead of inventing calculus.

Something I just learned about Leibnitz from that Wikipedia article - he was also a pioneer in computing:
"He became one of the most prolific inventors in the field of mechanical calculators. While working on adding automatic multiplication and division to Pascal's calculator, he was the first to describe a pinwheel calculator in 1685 and invented the Leibniz wheel, used in the arithmometer, the first mass-produced mechanical calculator. He also refined the binary number system, which is the foundation of all digital computers."

"Annus mirabilis, the year of wonders, that is the name of this period in which calculus, law of gravitation, the color spectrum, these discoveries changed the world forever." "Let's all become Isaac Newton this month." Those comments come across pretty tone deaf to me. I imagine the person who wrote it doesn't have any young children and enjoys a relatively high degree of privilege.
Depends on how empty or full you think the glass is I suppose. Nothing wrong with encouraging others to be their best version of themselves in a time of crisis. Like I said, people die every day. More are going to die during April. It sucks. Make the most of a bad situation. As an individual, nothing you do can move the needle (besides the social distancing and other guidance), so look inward.
There are approximately 40 million US citizens living in poverty. Try going to their houses and telling them that Isaac Newton invented calculus during the plague, so they should look at this as an opportunity for them to learn a foreign language or program an app. You might want to plan an escape route before you do so, though.

That’s what the post is talking about.
We have…different interpretations of Annus mirabilis, the year of wonders, that is the name of this period in which calculus, law of gravitation, the color spectrum, these discoveries changed the world forever. and Let's all become Isaac Newton this month.

At the time you wrote this comment, approximately 45k people have died as a result of the coronavirus worldwide. Glass is half empty for you then, right?
And the Trump administration's estimates from today are 100,000 to 240,000 deaths in the US alone: https://www.cnbc.com/2020/04/01/coronavirus-could-kill-more-... Several million worldwide seems very possible. People downplaying this for too long is a large part of why it's gotten so bad already. Why worry? There's only 15 cases in the US. Why worry? There's only 15 cases in my state. Why worry? There's only 15 cases…
Anyone would recognize that kind of growth as a breakout success if it were users on an app, but somehow they don't recognize the pattern with a disease.
There’s a lot of comments here focusing on the negative. I think we’re all well aware of the things that aren’t going well. I have empathy for all those impacted by the pandemic, it does suck.
But, forgot glass half empty, go for half full! There are all kinds of opportunities out there (not equality distributed of course), and it is up to you to get creative and leverage those opportunities available to you no matter how mundane they may be. Do it!

...and do all that while spending the majority of your time on alchemy and occult christian mysticism. Then when you emerge from isolation transformed, move to a big city and execute a lot of men. If you can’t do that you’re no Isaac Newton.
I had to search that on Wikipedia. This is referring to the men Newton prosecuted for counterfeit coins as part of his Master of Mint appointment.
It's amazing how people here are managing to find fault in a 3 paragraph long inspirational post. You don't have to do any of this stuff, it's not a mandate, just a person on the internet arguing for something positive.
