Your brain brings a complete software packet. All you need to do with each piece of software is activate it at the moment of need.

It's too late, Mad. You should have installed antiphilosophy software before you got the bug.

You could try an antismoking script but then again what would life be like for a caffeine addict who has to voluntarily avoid it? Terrible.

Problem solving app. Either I don't have one or it's outdated. I never seem able to solve problems. What's yours like? Can I have a look at your? What features does it have? How much is it? What's its track record like? Etc.

Yes, it did come online many suns ago and I believe, given the right conditions, it still performs well enough.

My concern is mainly, malware (viruses/worms/etc.) and how to protect my mind from them. Any anti-malware software you're familiar with that does it job well?

When you were a baby, you cried to get the attention you needed. Problem solved
When you were a little older, you learned to crawl. Now you could get the things you wanted. Problem solved

Who taught you to open a door you have never seen before? Most people figure out how to do it by themselves, basing their solution on previously learned information.

Most of your development as a human is based on solving the problems you meet in life.

Maybe yours is broken, or they never let you use it. :lol:

Defective Serial Attention Blocker. This would be a great tool to add to your system. It blocks the Serial Attention syndrome caused by software such as farcebook and twatter. Defective Serial Attention, commonly know as "I can't fucking live without my mobile" addiction, has symptoms such as anti-socialness, apathy, and the dire "where is the goddamned outlet" effect that has people running around rooms bent over looking at the wall at knee level.

As for the worms, try a gardeners shop.

You might've hit the nail on the head there. However, my question was, if it's not too much trouble or too close for comfort, about your problem solving app. I'm sure you could give a rough sketch of how you deal with the issues you face without giving away critical trade secrets if that's what you're worried about.

You seem well-read on the psychology of social media and its accomplice, addictive personality. Don't mean to pry but how are you holding up against the constant bombardment of ideas, memes, beliefs, etc. the internet has made possible and that too at scales never before seen?

In short, do you see yourself as a normal person with a brain running only good software, well-protected by the best antivirus program available or are you infected, like I seem to be, and don't know it yet?

Well basically I have a lot of little problems that need solving on a daily basis, and a few bigger ones that take some time to solve.

An example of a little problem would probably have to do with work. Say for instance one of my students does not understand a part of the assignment.
The app starts running and goes through the process;
Define the problem - kid has failed to understand
Find cause of problem(ask questions) - kid does not know where the delete button is on the keyboard
Fix the problem - explain/show the kid where it is located

An example of a big problem would be something like my house. I built it 30 years ago and it has suffered earthquake and hurricane damage as well as adaptions to keep the missus happy and social changes in the area. I still have a lot of work to do and that is when the problems start to appear. Money, time, material all have to be coordinated.
The app starts running and goes through the process;
Define the problem for this week - finish the porch roof extension.
Just needs the roofing sheets lifted and fixed in place.
Preparations needed
Clear schedule from 1:30pm Saturday.
Find helper.
Check materials and tools.
Check weather.
Fix the problem - get up the bloody ladder and put the roof on.

Job requirements. I teach teenagers and if I cannot keep ahead of them I am screwed. I do a lot of reading about these things and I have attended too many seminars and courses about them I could probably give lectures while asleep.

I use the most simple method possible, I ignore all of it. The only social media I use is whatsapp, and that is only for work and close family communications. I have farcebook and twatter, but I only use them as a means to and end. It is easier to access some pages using one of those accounts than creating accounts on that site.

In short, do you see yourself as a normal person with a brain running only good software, well-protected by the best antivirus program available or are you infected, like I seem to be, and don't know it yet? — TheMadFool

What the hell is normal? I doubt that anyone has bad software, unless you count things like aggressive attitudes and risk taking as such. Most people have the same basic set and learn to use it differently or fail to activate it completely.
Malware would be external influences from unaccepted parts of society, peers or the media. Anyone can activate the ignore button if they want to.
