ZOMG ‘BLOG

There has been a lot of talk about global epidemics lately, but they all seem to fizzle out. I mean SARS, bird flu, etc. never managed to reach a truly impressive global scale. This may sound like a “good thing” but IT IS NOT. We NEED more global epidemics. The fate of the Earth depends on it!

Epidemics make us stronger. Obviously there are the evolutionary benefits i.e. the stronger humans survive. Of course the more clever microbes will survive this struggle as well so this would seem to be a never-ending stalemate. However, that is only true if you consider a closed reference frame of humans vs. microbes. The actual truth is that this constant struggle makes our whole planet stronger.

When aliens invade it will serve us well to have a planet that contains both mighty disease-resistant humans AND powerful, adaptable infectious microbes. While the diseases may appear to be our foes now, when the time comes they will be our powerful allies! The fact is that in the inevitable future galactic war the most fearsome aliens will be the filthiest ones with the most unstoppable germs. So remember, we must never let our battles with the microbes become too one-sided if we ever hope to become those filthy aliens!

kthxbye.
