Bazumba computer put on cancer case

I've been stumping for ameriKa and the rest of the "first world" to quit blowing trillions on war, which produces only death and misery, and apply them to healing, fixing, building, and restitution to the System's real victims. (Had this conversation today with my new music student, a GE engineer.)

How about this news?

IBM puts supercomputer to work on cancer

AFP - IBM is putting its Watson supercomputer to work fighting cancer, in what is described as the first commercial program of its kind to use "big data" to help patients with the disease......
 
"The first commercial" attempt to rally trainloads of cancer research data and parse from it how to banish the disease, huh? Is that another way of saying "Business has been doing marvelous and wonderful things to keep us roundly satiated, but hasn't heretofore gotten around to applying its all to cancer prevention" -- ?

Don't tell me cancer is suddenly a higher priority than fighting TERR'ISM. What will we do if, say, the last $10 allocated for this project would have otherwise have been put to the military budget -- and for want of just $10 more for the mortar shell that would have ended the whole conflict, victory is lost?

Ratings-wise, it begs the question of whether the War is losing its market share of prime time TV viewers to something as icky-poo as a wasting disease reality show. This would signify bad times for ameriKa, as its mind wanders from the heady excitement of pure entertainment fluff to immediate, transcendent reality.
