'Covid-19 an enemy which graphed every thought process mankind possesses'

New Delhi, June 20 Human behaviour is usually oriented to two basic objectives: Comprehending a situation and then predicting the outcome while relying on that comprehension.

"Predicting life has been compelling and a linear thought. It might have been simpler when we would have been productive by adding gains and outcomes. But then, we directed all the thoughts and models towards multiplying the outcomes. The cost of this zest became high, though, we continuously tried to offset that.

"There have been indicators from all around that we must revisit life, which we ignored. Then came Covid-19, an enemy which graphed every thought process mankind possesses, all the reactions we might have and developed an algorithm of its own, It hit us hard, which compels us to think that life is the most valuable thing," says Vinay Sharma, a Professor in the Department of Management Studies at IIT-Roorkee, the lead author of "Stop Predicting Revisit Life, Lessons from Covid-19"
