That's so interesting, professor.
 Long term survival depends on evolution. The common cold used to cull the weak. Those who survived were stronger, and went on to breed the next generation. And so on.
 Darwin.
 Sure. But, you see we short circuited this evolution. We developed drugs that keep those who should have died from dying. We've artificially propped up the weak for over a century.
 So, what's the answer? Eugenics?
 Ugh, not at all. I don't think we should have any choice in who lives and who dies. Humanity can't be trusted with those decisions. people will always find a way to game the system. To capitalize on it. To commodify it.
 Like "big pharma".
 Exactly. An entire industry devoted to keeping sick people artificially alive in order to exploit them. The more pills you take the more money they make. More people overcrowd the planet and more people pollute the world. It's not sustainable.
 You're right it's not. You're kind of a genius.
 I'm just a guy who sees the big picture.
