Reminded me of the Hacker News thread "A Planet of Parasites and the Problem with God" : https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38897960 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38897960 Gotta book mark the article as it's an interesting take on how the world runs. From the article: "Is There Any Meaning to This Shit Show? Optimists generally feel a strong need to believe in a benevolent universe. Hey, I get it. The idea that we live in a universe that is pitiless and meaningless [...] is a bitter pill to swallow. It would be so much nicer to believe that we live in a benevolent universe, looking out for us and helping us along. But how can one believe in a benevolent universe that contains such extreme, pervasive, gratuitous violence, predation, and suffering?"
