Social Network Analysis to Help Infected Chimps-What About Humans?

Social network analysis technique may be used to help prevent disease communication among chimps. Obviously some will note that social network analysis among humans may be used for evil as well as good.

Criminal networks may use social network to enfilade prey. Predatory capitalists may use social network analysis to identify easy pickins and political organs may use social network analysis to package the right disinformation with on-time delivery to the right e-mail address or social network user.

Chimps and humans have many similarities obviously. Each have five fingers and toes, like bananas and are ethically challenged. Humans at least have recognition of original sin although some evos are trying to erase that notion.

Chimps may not benefit from social networking sites as some humans do.That is chimps may not enjoy twittering although I doubt that an experiment to determine that has yet taken place. Chimps are more immune from the downside of social networks as well as the good. Social networks on the Internet can help for a kind of popular intellectual gridlock through the ubiquitous mass communication of ideas. Ideas can be disseminated quickly of course, and the power and intertial development of wrong or of a limited false alternative range of ideas can prevent the development of creative thought and good ideas through displacement.
