Impatient Conspiracy theorists follow the updates of Q’s counter, which, after warning about the End of the World and Three Days of Darkness, changed the website’s picture again. The current countdown timer portrait belongs to programmer John McAfee, but what does John have to do with the Apocalypse?
McAfee’s biography is generally amazing. Some kind of agent of unknown special services, as if. He went to Belize, where he was arrested on false charges, then released, but his neighbor shot himself. He then fled to Guatemala where he was arrested again. At the end, he was detained in Spain at the request of the United States and found hanged in prison. Moreover, a court in the United States found him guilty in the Belize case.
Nevertheless, the dude was just having a blast.
He wrote an antivirus, sold it to Intel at a profit, then seemed to be an instructor for something. Then he took down the video above because Intel managers turned his antivirus into garbage and even sued so that the antivirus would no longer be named after him.
And it’s okay that John tried to run for the presidential election in 2020, and then threatened that McAfee stated that he would publish information that would expose corruption at the highest level of the CIA, as well as in other American authorities.
“If I am arrested or disappear, more than 31 terabytes of incriminating data will be released to the press,” McAfee promised.
What does John have to do with the Apocalypse?
The answer is most likely simple, but not every fighter against evil has an IQ sufficient to trigger the necessary chain of associations.
To begin with, JeffHK’s video is a highly recommend viewing. This is some Taiwanese or Korean young sailor who figured out to put a webcam on the wheelhouse of his container ship and scroll through the 30-day voyage in 10 minutes.
The sea traffic on rewind is impressive on the video, as if a steamboat is traveling through the city at rush hour. If you imagine how much tankers or cruise liners polute the atmosphere, how much is needed for the production and subsequent disposal of these steamers, then you feel sorry for the planet, which is dying from the current population.
Now let’s ask ourselves: where are all these steamers going? Do the New Jersey plant components travel to San Diego via a round-the-world route? No, the ships go here/from here:
Countries such as Egypt, Nigeria and Ethiopia are shown as scattered, but in general if African countries would be accumulated in a circle, the US population will be like Mars against the background of the Sun in comparison.
At the beginning of the last century, everything was smooth in the world, there were at most 400 million people living in China, and they lived quietly, they did not require refrigerators, which were in need of freon, a terribly harmful compound to the atmosphere, they did not require wheelbarrows and three-room apartments, the production of which requires blast furnaces. In addition, all these billions also need to be fed.
When will planet Earth put an end to all this?
In fact, planet Earth has provided everything as evolution created two other smart words: Quorum Sensing. What is it and what is it eaten with?
In general, every person in the world has the E. coli bacterium in their stomachs, without it we would all die. But if this bacteria begins to multiply uncontrollably, then its carrier will also suffer from diarrhea or something similar. Therefore, the bacterium has a task: on the one hand, to reproduce and maintain the population, on the other, to prevent this reproduction from finishing off the host-carrier.
This problem was solved by evolution which came up with a mechanism called quorum sensing. So, when the E. coli population reaches a certain critical level for the host organism, the bacterium begins to produce special proteins that kill all surrounding bacteria of this species. As soon as unnecessary growth stops, everything returns to normal, everyone goes about their business: the owner eats, and E. coli helps him digest.
A similar mechanism exists in all species, including mammals. So, if squirrels, for example, have a hunger game year when there are few nuts, they suddenly become omnivores and begin to eat each other until the population comes into line with the food supply existing in the forest. And since jellyfish, plankton, and mammals have this mechanism, humans also have it. Sooner or later it should work.
John McAfee spent the first half of his life fighting computer viruses and for the second half of his life he headed the QuorumEx company, which dealt with microbiology, especially quorum in bacteria and other species.
And now McAfee’s face adorns the counter, counting the seconds until the Apocalypse.
