12. Which is precisely the problem.

Sun Jan 9, 2022, 02:42 AM

Jan 2022

Am I the only person who thinks there is something fundamentally wrong with a species where more than half of them have a chronic condition? And over a quarter have multiple?

As wonderful as modern medicine is, it's keeping alive people who not so very long ago would not have survived. And a lot of them are reproducing. We are not doing ourselves a favor overall. Yeah, individually, I'm glad I'm alive, I'm glad lots of others I know are alive, but in the long run it may not be for the best.
