The world has a new 00 now, and his name is 19, Covid 19 or as I like to call him 0019.
This new agent has, like his predecessors, a license to kill, and he doesn't care who his victims are or where they're from.
0019 is much more effective than the rest of the 00's and even 007. It took him less than two months to shut down the entire world. No planes, trains, cars or even people can move around freely when he 's around. Unlike 007, no one knows who he really is, there is a picture, but that too is inconclusive.

All around the world governments are trying very hard to get rid of him or at the very least find something that can stand up to him or even slow him down.

A main difference from 007 has been found, which is his affection to older women (or men), instead of the usual 00's style. This discovery convinced few world leaders to look at these "targets" as expendable. By doing so they thought it will help them deal with rest of us faster. But 0019 as we mentioned before doesn't care who he hurts, so... he's now killing people of all ages.
It also seems that 0019 is killing aimlessly but when looking carefully at his destruction path one can notice that what he really aims for, is to domesticate us animals, a fact that will cause a few raised eyebrows with those who believe in conspiracy theories.

Whatever his aim is, I think we better stay off his path if possible. Maybe some time home, apart from the rest of society and especially apart from nature is all we need to get our humanity back.

Anti virus

2020 and it seems we are living in a futuristic, apocalyptic film. The Corona virus, the new villein and threat to humanity (at least for now), is as we all know, basically flew.
But flew or not, I am waiting to for the first zombie to pop up. I believe that till the first one appears, there is no real reason to get paranoid. Especially for us Israelis, which are used to many things that try to kill us on a daily basis, so one more is not that threatening.
Plus, we have Check-point, which will probably provide the world with its first anti virus for zombies, or at least for the Corona virus or Covid-19 as it is now called.
Think of this:
Zombies usually come in groups (you can see them coming), and walk pretty slow. In addition, you can use a shotgun and fire straight to their faces it usually does the trick. So even if there is no anti virus yet you most probably be fine. But still, self isolation will do the job as well.

So... I will leave you with this famous quote: "For god's  sake, stop that whining!"

A negative positive

Diversity or Politics? You be the judge...

Is prevention the answer

Well is it? Is it the fact that their parents had unprotected sex or that we keep choosing to be led by the "insane". And if these "leaders" wouldn't have been born at all, would we have chosen better or worst? If a "crazy" leader is not elected, is he still a "crazy"?  

When everbody is going bananas...

Trend is a trend is a trend

Second life

I have realized that everybody sees themselves as a brand and we all go through life building and maintaining it.
It started of course way before Facebook. The first form of "media" we decided to use in order to build our brand and differentiate it from other ones was, of course, our body. We started tattooing our brand equity through self-expression (a medium that proved to be as harmful as successful).
Then as time passed we embraced technology as a form of advertising. We began buying things that made us feel better, younger, more successful or simply different. We got better cars, better phones, more expensive jewelry etc.
Along came social networks and things became ever more intense. We started building two separate brands. Our online brand and offline one. We used our online life to take our brand even further, and opened it to an international market in order to make it go viral.
The problem began when our online brand surpassed our offline one, and even worst, we started believing our campaigns even though we knew it's just advertising and isn't portraying a real product. But what can we do? We can't go back, we will all be branded liars and fakers.
So some of us tried getting off the grid or at least purchasing less media and published fewer campaigns.
Lucky for us, the web may keep everything stored and has a great memory, but it also has a very short attention span.
And in the end, I believe a good and honest brand will survive almost anything you through at it.

Look and listen :-)
