The commitment is very big, my comment is very small.
Whatever exists needs to be challenged continuously to keep existing. Any naive attempt to suppress all adversity forever will backfire.
- hmate9 10y agoOk, so you would rather Zuck not spend his money trying to cure diseases?
- unknown_apostle 10y agoNo, but the sanguinary headline made me imagine a future where all biological stressors have actually been eradicated. Our species would be at its weakest. I guess I was briefly taking the donator's unicorn propaganda literally. Sorry.
