The Extended Phenotype(Richard Dawkins)

 The rabies virus drives even non-carnivorous animals to bite viciously, and some people have been bitten by fruit-eating bats that usually do no harm.

In addition to biting, which is a surefire way to spread viruses that use saliva, 'fidgeting' also plays a role in spreading the virus more efficiently.

I think the rabies virus ultimately forces its normal host to bite in order to increase its population.

In some ways, I think it may be part of manipulating its host in order to reproduce.

I think that all living things on Earth (viruses, bacteria, plants, animals, etc.) ultimately do things to increase their population in order to survive.

Cold viruses also induce their hosts to cough or sneeze, causing them to transmit the virus to other hosts through droplets, and bacteria such as typhoid and dysentery cause infection when other animals or humans drink the infected water that is infected with the host's excrement.

In the case of plants, they reproduce with other organisms through wind, water, insects, etc. (carriers).

Viruses and bacteria also increase their population through water, insects, animals, etc. (carriers and hosts).

We may have another thought that we live for the reproduction of bacteria and viruses.

Humans live all over the world, move quickly, and spread very quickly through airplanes.

That's why when the coronavirus broke out, unlike in the past, the entire world was infected rapidly.

Now, bacteria and viruses can live more actively, but this is largely offset by human cleanliness.

Colds can also be sufficiently prevented by washing your hands and wearing masks.

At that time, in Korea, where mask wearing was enforced, the number of cold patients decreased rapidly.

If you don't want to become a carrier of various bacteria or viruses, I think it's a good idea to pay attention to your own hygiene.

God delusion(Dawkins, Richard)

  1. It is the role of science to let us know the facts. Mystics rejoice in riddles and wish for them to remain mysterious. Scientists rejoice in riddles for a different reason: they give them something to do. mobile e-book: 320p In the past, humans practiced totemism, animism, and shamanism, offering sacrifices to improve the weather, performing rain rituals, or, as in the legend of mantou from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms where twenty head-shaped buns were offered to a river god to calm its waters, taking various measures to appease the wrath of gods through sacrifice. However, because science has developed, modern humans can now predict, to some extent, why weather phenomena like the rainy season and typhoons occur and where they will strike. We can even induce rain through artificial rain technology. Thus, when we are ignorant of the facts, things may seem miraculous and be seen as the work of gods, but once we know the facts, we can understand them. It seems that humani...

Parenting from the Inside Out(Daniel J. Siegel, Mary Hartzell)

  1. Let's Reflect on Ourselves "When you pay attention to your own experiences when you get angry at your child's behavior, you begin to realize how much your reactions have interfered with an ideal relationship with your children." (e-book p. 70) There are moments when I get particularly angry at a specific behavior of my child. I ask myself, "Why does this action make me so angry?" and "Why am I reacting so sensitively?" I reflect on whether I, too, received negative feedback for the same behavior in the past. By contemplating my anger and looking back at my past, I come to understand the root cause of my sensitivity to that particular action. I realize that my specific reactions are also responses stemming from past experiences. Therefore, to change my behavior, I must first acknowledge the origin of my reaction and then consider how to change. Through this process, I can restore my bond with my child and achieve deep self-reflection. My ingr...

Mindset: The New Psychology of Success(Carol S. Dweck)

  1. Life Is Yours "It is your chosen perspective that determines whether you can become the person you want to be and realize the value of your life." Mobile e-book: 27p Even when faced with the same situation, everyone reacts differently. I believe that life's outcomes are ultimately determined by our own choices. I think our current state is a result of our past choices. For instance, writing this book review is a consequence of my past decision to read the book. And my improving writing skills (though still lacking) are a combination of past writing experiences before starting the blog, plus the experience of writing more and more since starting the blog. This has led to the current result where I can now quickly write a book review in 1-2 hours (and marking important lines while reading helps reduce time spent on quotes). Similarly, your current state is a product of your accumulated past experiences, efforts, and trials and errors. No one is good from the start. Wha...
