History repeating - 1920s


In The Great Depression hundreds of millions of people suffered real deprivation. Their minds and behaviours were catastrophically affected by this serious situation.

In desperation the masses sought leadership forward and they got Franco, Mussulini and Hitler.
Their values were slowly morphed along the way, and Fascism took hold in a most dangerous way along with Nationalism.

Hitler destroyed the unions and the socialists, and took particular aim at The Jews and forward communism. National socialism was a ploy and not Democratic Socialism.

In the world today, many commentators have used immigration to describe the growth in nationalism throughout the world. When Trump was elected as The Republican candidate it was said, “Damage done”. Recently Anthony Albanese in Australia, indicated that poorer voters were not happy with what “they have” in their minds, which is their perception. The people affected amount to hundreds of millions of people in the free world, that can relate to the difference.

What is it really ?

It’s big like the big part of an iceberg under the water, and on top are the “triggers”. Trump, Brexit and Nationalism are all triggers, for the  root cause I believe is a perceived deprivation by the masses, similar to last century in The Great Depression.

To this extent is history actually repeating  ?

Quantum computers and A.I.

The Quantum computer should enter a serious phase by year 2025. Simply put commercial and much more powerful units will be available by that time, and that is a bit of time considering the speed at which they are developing. If I have a normal computer that has 10,000 transitors for example only, to double the power I add another 10,000 transitors. In a Quantum computer if I had 10,000 qbits, and I added another 10,000 qbits, the power would go up by 2^10,000; that’s gigantic !. The “Good, the Bad and the Ugly”: Two thirds of our universe we will begin to see, and that will immediately impact on science like chemistry, where calculations so small will be able to be done for the first time. Medicine and bio-chemistry, material science, solid state physics are others. Artificial intelligence can machine learn one task well, in fact very well. A robot machine may do the washing but not the dishes. Multi-tasking not yet by some distance but, with Quantum computers an unknow...

COVID-19

 Covid-19 as at August 2020 has spread globally awaiting a vaccine by December 2020. However whilst mutating to many virulent forms, Covid can also after many months mutate to a much milder form. A much milder form of Covid-19 may in fact become dominant over the existing and much more dangerous strains.  It would take another lengthy period of months before the dominant milder strain of the virus spreads  This could mean by June 2021 the virus will become like a normal flu, explaining how the 1918 pandemic slowly died out without a vaccine.
