Lets work TOGETHER
Over the last 7 days, a friend of the family lost her battle at age 64 to pancreatic cancer. In the last 2 weeks another family has learned that the brain cancer labeled glioblastoma will not allow her to make it to march. A 4 time cancer survivor, including 2 different lung cancers, picked up a cigarette and began to smoke.
While I write about this horrible, relentless, mutilating disease, names from the 1970s until just a few weeks ago have plagued me. I was drawn to shutting down last night. Unable to focus, unable to function I sat in front of my computer sobbing.
I want to pledge to anyone who reads this that I will chronicle my battle for those of you who can not battle for yourselves. The 17 year old boy who finds his terminally ill aunt in her chair, lungs filling with fluid and asking “do you want me to call someone” (Meaning do you want to live) or Do you want me to not call anyone (Meaning do you want me to let you go)? I am doing this so that someday in the future that question may never need to be asked again.
HELP!
I NEED HELP!
PLEASE GET HELP!
I am starting to realize that we have a pattern of “search and destroy” instead of pre-evaluate and reevaluate before the disease exists. I know this is a vague statement. We will soon come back to it.
Our medicine for anything from the sniffles to the most devastating diseases are seemingly reactionary. Physicians read a patient and react based on short time constraints and huge caseloads imposed by some of the institutions they serve. A gifted physician is not effective if he or she is rushed in and out of patient rooms faster than he can find out how a patient is really doing. Medical Students, assistants and teledoc services are all great… but they don’t give us what we need. Time.
Not to be cheesy and quote Star Trek but I truly believe that ” “TIME IS THE FIRE IN WHICH WE BURN” – Soren
When the diagnosis comes down time is something that we can not burn.
I offer this warm thought, we can give you billions of years to cure your problem over the next 3-5 days while you go home and rest.
Now, you are sitting there asking your self, “What in the holy hell is Weldon talking about?” We are on the forefront of technology that will allow us to accomplish things we simply can not control.
We now can control time AND physics in a construct that is NOT totally as far fetched as my Star Trek Quote.
The Universe was recreated by artificial intelligence in a lab setting. That means we controlled time. We didn’t have to wait 13 billion years for the simulation to catch up. Someone hit the fast forward button and POW! We are in the present day universe. Physics was also created. The planets orbit just like those that we orbit around the sun with. (See: https://www.livescience.com/65832-ai-creates-model-universe-mysteriously.html )
Zoom in!
Sure the view out there looks beautiful. As we zoom in we can see signs of the galaxy we inhabit. No sign of life just yet… but we will hopefully arrive home soon!
We zoom in trillions of times to get to the milky way. We are in there somewhere. We select a random area emanating light we zoom in again.
We as outsiders peering through the window see a star system with a star and planets. The 3rd planet in happens to show green, brown, blue. Its in the “Goldie locks zone”.
Careful now… zoom in slowly and we see orbiting space junk. A curious discovery for a simulation. If you zoom in again you will see evidence of intelligent life. A wall visible from 300 miles out that crosses a large mass of land. Some objects are flying through the sky. Storms and Lightning unlike anything you have ever seen.
Zoom in to the street view!
Living, breathing organisms on grid like streets driving machines. Communicating, moving with purpose and poise. All of the elegance of our own home world outside of this computer screen simulation.
Lets follow the man walking down the street dressed nicely. He enters a cab and goes with his briefcase to his job. Lets fast forward watching Steve. Steve meets Nancy. They get married, have a beautiful family. They all have beautiful souls. Their paths cross paths with this other family, Bev and David. They become best of friends. Another disease we will tackle later takes Dave. Steve, Nancy and Bev continue their lives. They share a love of life and these people completely compliment anyone they come in contact with. Steve is the guy every guy wants to be and all the women want. Nancy was the girl every guy wanted to marry. The life long friendship is tested! Steve gets diagnosed with lung cancer. After being treated and allowing 5 or 6 years to go by Nancy is stricken with Pancreatic cancer. Its 2006-2008 in this world. Even though you watch them fight and fight its clear the battle will be lost. It isn’t that Nancy just died. Steve lost his love, his girl, his everything. A deep depression covers Steve. The teenage kids have some issues dealing with the loss and depression. They start to get into that negative area where drugs and crime play.
Hope is lost for Steve and Nancy. The kids are basket cases. All of the friends are devastated by the news that Nancy is gone.
We continue to follow progress on Steve. Steve develops a cough. “screw it” he says. Ill survive. After 3 weeks he is diagnosed with an aggressive lung cancer and within 8 months Steve meets his Beautiful wife once again. Devastation take over the two boys.
Lets pause.
Its 2010. We have computers and skilled techniques for doing many things to the human body to save it. Numerous NUMEROUS people of high intellect are doing seemingly nothing to stop the disease.
I have a solution to every story just like the one above.
We are in the simulation… I have control over any aspect I need control over so lets rewind to a point where everyone was seemingly healthy.
Here is where the idea ends and life begins.
Lets allow the simulated universe to give Nancy that same cancer. We aren’t planting it. The goal is to run the simulation so we get Nancy 30 million times and 800 times she gets the same pancreatic cancer that she had in reality. NOW lets apply technology and medicine within the confines of the law and ethics base that a normal hospital at the time would approve. The outcome is still poor. Nancy didnt survive those treatments. We allow AI to rewind the simulation to the beginning when the cancer was ACTUALLY detected in real life by a real doctor and run the simulation thousands of times and at extremely high speeds. Lets KILL the artificial Nancy with the wrong treatments, with AI knowing EVERYTHING there is to know about the cancer, location, biopsy etc.
AI is like Doctor House running the universe back and forth by years to find a solution that will get Nancy to her 90s and without terrible long term effects.
HOW? How can we make that work?
We know where we are and we know where we’ve been so we have a general direction of where we are going. Problem is we dont have time to wait for reality to catch up with actuality. We require a simulator to help the oncologists and ethics committees, insurance companies, governing bodies and more to make better guesses on how we can cure Nancy’s cancer.
We now have billions of years in the simulator that we can run science back and forth, allowing it to get smarter. Allowing researchers to pull data from. Allowing DEA to check new drug possibilities. Allowing Ethics professors the glimpse into the future of how and why and should we.
We could have saved Nancy. Nancy passed away in 2010.
Its time we take my theory and draw up something more concrete. We have access to technology that we don’t need to hook up to jeopardy or take on talk shows.
PEOPLE ARE DYING!
We need to take the most powerful computers available and we need to get the best minds in the field of oncology, hemotology, Computer science, theoretical physicist, ethics professors… we need to get a LARGE team involved.
Help me prevent what happened to this wonderful family. Leave a comment below or email weldon@weldonpc.com we need your brain power, your quantum computer power, your insight, your education. Please help!
