Fashions are the only induced epidemics, proving that epidemics can be induced by tradesmen. — © George Bernard Shaw
Fashions are the only induced epidemics, proving that epidemics can be induced by tradesmen.
Fashions, after all, are only induced epidemics.
Fashions are induced epidemics.
Natural epidemics can be extremely large. Intentionally caused epidemics, bioterrorism, would be the largest of all.
There are epidemics of nobleness as well as epidemics of disease.
With epidemics, people have been standing on the shore, waiting for the gusher to hit the ocean. But to prevent epidemics, you have to look at the various little sources that feed into the river.
Starting epidemics requires concentrating resources on a few key area. The Law of the Few says that Connectors, Mavens, and Salesman are responsible for starting word-of-mouth epidemics, which means that if you are interested in starting a word-of-mouth epidemic , your resources ought to be solely concentrated on these three groups. No one else matters.
Environmental degradation is an iatrogenic disease induced by economic physicians who treat the basic malady of unlimited wants by prescribing unlimited growth.... Yet one certainly does not cure a treatment-induced disease by increasing the treatment dosage.
The first kiss ideally signals rapture, exchange of hearts, and imminent marriage. Otherwise it is a kiss that lies. All very crude and nonsensical, and yet it is the staple myth of hundreds of comics called 'Sweethearts,' 'Romantic Secrets' and so forth. The state induced by the kiss is actually self-induced, of course, for few lips are so gifted with electric and psychedelic possibilities.
Experiment is fundamentally only induced observation.
One of the epidemics in our industry is the abuse of power.
Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics.
Without effective human intervention, epidemics and pandemics typically end only when the virus or bacteria has infected every available host and all have either died or become immune to the disease.
Epidemics of "bad" voice can kill your reputation overnight.
The Law of the Few... says that one critical factor in epidemics is the nature of the messenger.
There are exceptional people out there who are capable of starting epidemics. All you have to do is find them.
As many glaciers are melting and icy tundras are decaying, there's an unprecedented amount of woolly mammoth material that's becoming dislodged from the ice. Not just mammoth, but all kinds of fossils from the past. What occurred to me was, had anyone tried to pinpoint the first case of human-induced extinction? What was the first time we as species pushed another one to oblivion? I would argue that's probably going to be one of the defining moral problems of the century, human-induced extinction. And I really wanted to know, when did we first cross that barrier?
