PDN Introduction.

CV06. Linguistics: Another attempt at creating a word to mold how events are perceived and interpreted. With all the conspiracy demics, the possibility of parademic being an acceptable term for human behavior in the context of existential biocalamity drops. Casedemic: the Latest Covid-19 Conspiracy Theory to Downplay the Severity of the Pandemic. Antivaccine activists and pandemic minimizers Del Bigtree and Joe Mercola are promoting the myth of the “casedemic” that claims that the massive increase in Covid-19 cases being reported is an artifact of increased PCR testing and false positives due to too sensitive a threshold to the test. As they have done for vaccines and vaccine-preventable diseases many times before, they are vastly simplifying and exaggerating a scientific controversy to cast doubt on the scope and deadliness of the pandemic. ADDED Nevada Doctor’s Selfie Used to Claim Covid-19 Is a Hoax.

CV20. Communication: Here's How to Fight Back Against Anti Maskers, Climate Deniers and Anti Vaxxers, According to Scientists. The shift to online science communication from conventional news platforms has been going on for a while. There is a need for credible and accurate science reporting because the miscommunication of science in the media is causing lasting damage to the public's understanding of science.

CV27. Learning: Virtual Charter Schools Are Booming, Despite a Checkered Reputation.

For profit virtual charter schools have been dogged by complaints of low student performance, fraud and waste. Still, many are seeing a pandemic induced enrollment surge. ^CV11.

Read This First, Glossary

-1. Social Contagion, Exacerbate Biocalamities, Spread

-1. Social Contagion is the analogue of viral transmission with social behaviors that are transmitted by contact via observation or information. In the case of biocalamities the tendency is to exacerbate the health and environmental calamitous acceleration.

            -A. Like its pathogen counterpart, social pernicious ideas don’t spontaneously appear fully formed, but evolve bradyoccult until circumstances arise that allow deleterious acceleration. The potential can exist for centuries, have occasional outbreaks and long periods of dormancy, or be accepted for normal for centuries resisting recognition that the eventual total consequences will be detrimental to the very system that maintains it. Social contagions such as disinformation, antivax, anti lockdown can make what is a relatively mild pandemic that could be easily contained and controlled into an effective biological weapon.

            -B. Though there are indications social contagions can be cured, if recognized, they are apparently very persistent, adaptable and resistant to developing immunity. The synergistic combination of social and viral contagions exacerbate the impact of both, with negative parademic behaviors. The Covid-19 Pandemic Is a Lesson in Social Contagion, Too.

            -C. The tendency is to focus on negative social contagions, which are reported furthering its spread. There are likely good contagions, just as there are beneficial microbes. This difference however becomes confused as both benign and threatening social contagions view the other as a threat, i.e. othering the opposite as evil. There’s a Social Pathogen Stalking the World That’s as Deadly as Covid-19.

CV06. Linguistics: WHO: Countries with Falling Covid-19 Numbers Still Need to Be Vigilant. Vigilant however is not the same as prevention. There may be intense monitoring and surveillance for cases, but by the time those cases are found there are likely to be four other cases that are not yet located, and which will have time to infected four more each. In fact in a storm like CV troughs usually indicate a following peak. A Precarious Point: Covid Cases Surge in Canada's Prairies after Relaxed Approach.

PDN Introduction.

CV06. Linguistics: ICU Nurse's Take on 'How it Started ...' Meme Goes Viral Video.

CV12. Personal, Relationships: Today is Thanksgiving and we are having a very small Turkey dinner of just our social bubble. My daughter can up, but she has been self isolated for weeks and is very careful about protecting herself when she does goes out. Last year her behavior would have been considered anti social. One of my step kids was going to come out with his girl friend to introduce her to his mom. The two of them took the precaution of self isolation for two weeks, and she had quit her job before this as here place of employment was not taking appropriate measures. Unfortunately even though in all likelihood they could drive here with out exposure they decided it would not be worth even that small risk. That was his own decision, not influenced by my paranoid perspective but just watching the news to include misleading sources as he has learned that doing the opposite of what they say is a good practice. 201123-CV01.

The two narratives I’ve noticed are self serving ones claiming more suicide and government should do something, or that suicides are associated with lockdowns.

CV27. Learning: Covid Has Invaded Our Kids’ Pretend Play. Experts Say It’s a Good Thing. She entered her 4 year old son’s pretend doctor’s office one day last April and asked him how she was doing. She was taken aback when he examined her with his toy stethoscope and responded, solemnly, “Not well, you’ve got coronavirus”. A few months later, he started to brainstorm how a Covid-19 vaccine might work, theorizing “that what we needed is a vaccine made of tiny alligators that could be injected into the blood to eat up all the coronavirus,” says Morse, a mother of two in Norfolk. Not all parents who engage in imaginary play with their children are getting diagnosed with Covid-19, or brainstorming outside the box vaccine ideas. But Coronavirus themed play is increasingly common as living with the virus is becoming a long term reality for children. This phenomena has also been observed in wars and disasters.

-1. Mental Templates are the cognitive models behind what motivates a behavior, ideology, action or made object, collectively these make up assemblages 200419-1.1 All. For example A a A A A are all recognizable as the letter “A” which is part of written language, with associated sounds, are expected to be found in certain contexts (books, signs, memes) and encountered in assemblages (libraries, classrooms/ students, bookstores students an), and have symbolic meanings. However H ▲ א Å which have similar appearances, contexts or sound quality are not recognized as being “A”, or can be misinterpreted as “A”.

            -A. Mental Templates can provide an inductive entry into a worldview that helps provide an explanation for behaviors and devices that otherwise are nonsense in a different worldview. Artifacts are one way to begin to understand a worldview. Take a microscope and study all its internal aspects and external connections and one will quickly be exploring history, industry, glass, medicine, science, optics, microbes, commerce, telescopes, infrastructure, applications. These however still doesn’t lead to understanding the way the world in interpreted.

            -B. It is the ideofacts that leads to understanding of interpretation of what is perceived, which leads to templates that are mental, of what people think, which then gives insight into behavior. At one time looking through a microscope one saw animalcules, now one sees germs, pollutants, particulates, voids, fractures and the subatomic. Not only did magnification of this type leads to new technology, industries and sciences, it also caused a change in worldview. However, not all worldviews have reached the same conclusions. The way learn about interpretations are from what people said and wrote, the more informal, raw or misleading the better for gaining insight into the cognitive process involved.

            -C. To gain a glimpse of the different understandings and conclusions one needs to examine assumptions and beliefs via abduction 201025-1F. A person who assumes (trusts what they believe is fact) that all scientists are only intent of making money and refuting religion, is unlikely to accept what is seen in a microscope the same way as someone who is deeply religious, anti capitalist and a chemist.

            -D. There are a number of assumptions that are encountered in parademics when existential biocalamities conflict with some worldviews. One of the most hindering assumptions in parademic is the assumption that just because someone is human that they understand other humans and themselves, not recognizing that their success and/or failure in human interactions may not be due to what they empirically believe.

-2. Even Better Than Being Informed: Satirical News and Media Literacy. Rethinking Journalism: Trust and Participation in a Transformed News Landscape. Audiences’ expectations and perceptions of journalism are currently being shaped by considering three pertinent and interrelated changes in concert: The shifting experiences of public trust in the media; increasing audience involvement in journalism; and a growing public understanding of media techniques. I propose we try to understand the shifting nature of the news landscape not by taking journalism as a starting point, but by looking at journalism through the changing lens of its audience(s). More specifically, the idea of media literacy is a helpful concept we can use to begin deciphering the changing audience/ journalism relationship. This was published in 2012 but IT would not take much effort to create a 2020 version.
