I half expect a very scary Black Mirror episode where a militant vegan faction devises a way to spread prions throughout the meat supply chain on a timed release so it hits everywhere at once. Only for the blowback to somehow far exceed their worst dystopian nightmares.
Is there a way to somehow pack chemical or electrical energy into these highly favorable stable endpoint configurations, and release it?
- techrat 6y agoIt wouldn't be a black mirror episode unless these militants were able to record the memory of each of the animals before they were slaughtered, record that into the prions to have people experience the entire lifetime of an animal raised for slaughter with every bite... before succumbing to vCJD, of course.
- yourapostasy 6y agoThe producers need to add you to the writing staff, brilliant twist. Prions are scary grey goo-reminding nastiness. I've sometimes wondered if they aren't the answer to the Fermi Paradox.
