> If the secret society system was a dominant selective force in evolving and maintaining antibiotics in the preantibiotic era, then changes in the magnitude, frequency, and diversity of antibiotics after 1940 would likely have caused a consequent shift away from a production-resistance balance in favor of a resistance-dominated evolutionary strategy. So if bacteria in nature use antibiotics for signalling and to filter surrounding bacteria, rather than for warfare, it's not reasonable to expect humans to stop using antibiotics as warfare against dangerous pathogens (though using it to make animals grow faster is another story). What's the takeaway from this hypothesis?
