i'm curious, why would it? is (or was) there something to encourage the Earth to develop "antibodies", like evolutionary pressure for living organisms?
- egfx 7y agoYes in an interesting way, I can see how bats with very sensitive echolocation can be reading cues from the earth, exchanging stress signals and becoming stronger viral reservoirs.
- uryga 7y agosorry but idg how are bats relevant to the kind of planet-scale immunity you mentioned
- egfx 7y agoIf you think about it bats like a very specific set of parameters in their environment. If this is off balance due to pollution or electric pollution then the bats can get stressed and in essence be taking cues from the earth that things are off balance. The earth is using the bat as an incubator of the antibodies to resolve this issue.
