1st Eccentric Act? All the money? Destroy it? Why?

Question

Part of a IT-Network Security class I attended a question was asked. The professor whom worked many years with the US-NSA asked this, " what would be the first Eccentric act you would preform if you had access to all the money you could imagine. A man close to me said with confidence in a calm tone, "DESTROY IT" the professor asked him "WHY" with an unusual tone, the man responded with " I don't know why," he then whispered to me, " I just am confident thats what I would do" I am VERY interested in any input (SERIOUS input) because for the next three weeks he had been spending much time with the professor, making him do special assignments that he did not share with anyone, he then left the institute. We were told "he moved back home, to be near his family. I cant get this off my mind for how strange he had been acting before he left...examples being non stop writing while looked away from notebook or computer, unusual emotions, very distant.. My question is this,

comes in two parts, no need to answer all.
1: what would be the effect if incredibly large sums of virtual data ( money ) were destroyed,
2: the response of " Destroy it" what could it mean about his psychological nature
3: what is your opinion on what happened to him?

also, the professor's answer to question was " I would buy new socks to wear everyday"
4: opinion? on his response?

Answer 1

Humbly I will answer the questions:



1. Today we live in a virtual world, there is a trend for the next 20 years, that everything we do will be digitally recorded, an example of the scope of the virtual world may be, nanotechnology. All financial transactions would be made by sophisticated automated systems. This situation creates a hyper world, "quasi" infinite information and data held in reports of large computers, from banking groups, financial, or,Specialized Centers in data storage. May have an important participation of the State, so that these valuable files are preserved and not use bad. If this information is destroyed, for any reason within the probabilities, or conditions, there would be chaos, the virtual world as we know it would collapse. There would be despair, uncertainty, all those corporations, firms, persons with registered assets of all kinds. There would be no historical information on economic transactions (accounting and finance), have been made, that would be fatal. Because there would be no guarantee of anything. From what you have or have ceased to be. Nothing and no one is spared.



.2. "Dead dog rabies is over," Money has become a historical trigger of greed. corrupt practices, and selfishness of human beings. Also increases the desire for more power, whether political or economic. As a result, forces people to bypass anything like: faith, values, common sense, family, etc. Therefore, this response "destroy it " is a stoic solution, but not going to guarantee anything, just to force a temporary change in the behavior of the individual.



3. What might happen to him.?. I cannot guarantee a clear answer, simply, was a student, he drew attention to the professor, for his sincerity and behavior. Many things could be said about this, but we would be speculating, for better or worse, what happened, has been revealing and intriguing.



4. The most important thing is that we have the feet on the ground, not be an avid consumer, be critical to the economic policies that are planned in the country. The society is experiencing a time full of doubts and uncertainties, anxieties and hopes of what can be done. The population, need must socio-economic welfares, and, an adequate socio-cultural development, for a good quality of life. At that point, Governments have an important role



I hope my answers have been consistent and I have not removed from the topic, Understanding what happened with this student, carries many interpretations. This is mine, Ok.

Answer 2

I suppose I might open up a industry. I might have persons dig a gap with a shovel, relocating grime from one spot to an extra. Then I might have them re-fill the identical gap with the identical grime. Why? Because I might find the money for it... and persons want paintings on this economic climate. Just since the task is useless doesnt imply persons wont do it for sales. And isnt THAT the factor? God is aware of what number of guy-hours are wasted on a daily basis besides by way of lazy bastards. If cash was once destroyed, it might motive the importance of the greenback to move up. Supply and insist. Fewer coins bucks, however identical fiscal force. Money might then grow to be tougher and tougher to come back by way of, making it valued at extra. But then spending might scale down and necessarily the economic climate will down flip, stalled, and cash might lose importance once more. Economic steadiness. He, like me, is almost always any individual who doesnt care so much for cash. Im a socialist and a communist of varieties. I suppose in exertions, contribution, and receiving what's had to reside a comfortable satisfying existence. Money doesnt do this. Money makes persons depressing as a rule, its the motive of many issues each social, authorized and fiscal. But I suppose the fellow subsequent to you was once proper. Destroying cash might almost always be probably the most eccentric factor you might do. Why? Because who the hell else might? Your professor didnt effectively reply his possess query... I particularly doubt purchasing new socks everyday is probably the most eccentric factor he might suppose of. Unless he's simply imaginatively poor.

Answer 3

I heard from this student's parents that he was forced to enter a mental hospital for a few weeks, right after a really weird day of assignments with the professor.

Answer 4

2. it means the student is a teen rebel, seeking to draw attention to himself via bold and provocative statements.



3. the student will either grow up, or end up a jobless punk



4. professor is a practical down-to-earth person. I am sure the joke was linked to whatever he was trying to teach you that day.
