| Mutation is natural tool for evolution into harmonisation 突变是和谐化演进的途径 |
for unknown reasons, spread incomplete and biased information,
common people become worried about:
(C) Mutation of Infectious Agent
Mutation is not exclusive to infectious agents.
It is a natural property of all biological beings on Earth.
It is a function for biological beings to evolve
to harmonise with the biosphere.
There are biological beings which mutate
much quicker than others.
This usually happens with more primitive and lower realm beings
-- because these lower beings are more susceptible
to hostility of the new environment,
and they need to keep shuffling the ways
they interact with the adverse environment
in order to harmonise and survive.
When new strain of infectious agent emerges,
they are "clumsy and reckless"
creating chaos and even death in the community.
But we know such chaos and death, as mentioned in previous posts,
can be mitigated, by boosting our own immunity, hygiene practices and keeping a distance.
The only goal of the infectious agent is to survive,
it's counter-intuitive for an infectious agent to kill it's host quickly.
Because once the host is killed quickly,
they will not be able spread to other new individuals and extinct.
The infectious agent once found out that it's too "reckless" (ie too virulent)
it will mutate to tone down
to eventually cause less severe symptoms or even no death.
Therefore mutation is important
for these infectious agent to blend into our society.
We know from previous post that
their blending into our society helps us
to improve our immunity
to face other infectious agent in future.
However, modern medicine takes a different view
on the emergence of infectious agents.
Modern doctors and scientists harp heavily on
killing, terminating, removing the infectious agent.
During such a hostile process,
the infectious agent could only respond
by mutating into more virulent strains.
The more artificial intervention is exerted,
the higher the resistance the infectious agent will gain.
Infectious agent's mutation towards hostility
can be easily solved by stopping artificial interventions
and practice the 'mantra' of:
1. immunity boosting
2. exposure reduction
When we face the infectious agent
in panic and with fear,
we buy into modern narrative that
the infectious agent is our enemy.
We will then adopt hostile measures
against the infectious agent,
whirling into a spiral-down viscous cycle.
Mutation is not anything to fear about.
What is truly concerning is
human being's intention towards the infectious agent:
A. Terminating the infectious agent?
Or
B. Accepting it in sensible intensity of exposure, with boosted immunity
If it is (A) ,
the infectious agent will mutate to defend and to resist,
and eventually will become more virulent.
If it is (B),
there is no driving force to mutate into higher virulence.
Instead, human acceptance will drive it to mutate
towards low virulence, high contagiousness,
to establish its existence in our biosphere.
It is know that throughout human evolution,
we have accepted so many of these infectious agents
into our body, even deep down to DNA level,
that they are now 8% of human genetic material!
These infectious agents successfully incorporated into our DNA
so that they get to propagate with human,
every time, our cell divides
-- interestingly these infectious agents
often have to offer some kind of beneficial gain of function
to incorporate into our DNA
(which will be too elaborate to mention here)
The (B) scenario
is the exact opposite of modern narrative
that infectious agents are our enemies.
As mentioned in previous posts,
we should instead see them as
our new colleagues at the work place.
They are here for a good purpose.
But in the beginning,
we need to keep a sensible distance
(to prevent being harmed severely)
and deal with them with well-wishing tactics,
before both parties compromise and agree on
a mutually beneficial collaborative protocol.
Hope these few posts so far have offered
some empowering knowledge and clarity
to face the self-inflict illusion of infectious disease crisis.

在目前的非常时代，
不知为何，主流媒体不断散播片面偏面资讯的当儿，
公众开始担心：
(C) 感染病原的突变
突变不是感染病原独有的。
那是地球上所有生物的自然特质。
突变是生物用来演进的功能，
以和谐地融入生物圈。
有些生物
尤其是原始低等生物的突变率
会比别的来得高。
--这是因为这些低等生物应对
新环境的威胁时，来得脆弱，
而必须不停地变换方法，来应对环境的苛刻
才能和谐地融入生存。
当新的菌株刚浮出时，
它们一般会显得比较“笨拙”，
在社群里制造混乱和伤亡。
不过我们知道，像先前叙述，这些混乱伤亡
是可以通过自我免疫提升、卫生习惯和隔离手法，
得到缓冲的。
感染病原唯一目标就只是求存而已；
把患主快速致死，并不符合病原取向。
因为如果病原快速把患主置之死地，
病原就会和患主玉石俱焚，没办法散播到其他个体，而绝种。
当病原发觉自己太笨拙（杀伤力太强）
自然就会演进
直至不产生严重症状和死亡。
所以说，对于病原渐进融入社会，
突变是很重要的，
先前叙述过，病原的社会融入
能让我们提升免疫能力
帮助我们将来抵抗别的病原。
现代医学却用另一个角度看待
新病原的浮现
现代医生与科学家强力主张
彻底杀灭，使致病原绝种。
在这种强势敌对的手法
只会让病原演进得更加凶悍。
非自然干预手法用得越甚
病原就越变越顽强。
病原对抗性的突变
可以很容易地解决的。
关键在于停止使用非自然干预法
和：
1. 提升自我免疫
2. 减缓与病原的接触
如果我们以恐慌恐惧面对病原
那么就很容易被误导
把病原看成是对敌，
然后施于强悍赶尽杀绝之策，
最后双方卷入每况愈下的恶性循环。
突变根本不可怕。
我们该关注的是
人类对待病原的意向:
A. 赶尽杀绝?
还是
B. 用适当的接触程度和增进免疫，来接受病原？
如果是 (A) ,
病原就会越变越固执
越有杀伤力。
如果是 (B),
病原就没有动力突变成更具杀伤力。
反而，会演进成低杀伤力-高传染力的菌株。
这样才能跟人类相处于同一个生物圈里。
人类进化史上，
我们其实接纳了不少像这样的感染病原，
甚至把它们融入了躯体和DNA里头。
时下的人类遗传物质里估计融入了8%的病原基因！
这些病原成功地嵌入人类DNA，
为的是能和人类同寿，
跟随每一次的人类细胞分裂而流传下去。
--有趣的是，这些病原都得给人类带来新增功能提升
才能换取人类DNA里头的一个座位
（有碍于篇幅，就不再展开解释）
(B) 处境
恰好跟时下认为病原是敌对的言论
唱反调。
先前说过，我们应该把病原看作是职场上的新同事。
他们加入公司是有一定的功用的。
起初，我们应该跟新同事保持恰当的距离
（避免摩擦受伤），
然后用祝福的心和他们打交道，
直至双方磨合达致双赢合作模式。
希望这数则文章
能赋予有用的知识和清晰感
破除我们自己招感的迷雾，
看穿这个不切实的感染病危机。
盼慈光普照,
其铫
