Something To Consider - All Living Things
Huge funds go to scientific research for "cures" for what ail humans - usually symptoms not causes. Most of this research and conclusions appear to be driven with profit motives.
Now we could go to a doctor and get the latest treatment or medications. How about a bee, an ant or a lion? It has no doctor to go to. So many species have become extinct in the last hundred years because of human behavior. Now our main pollinator, the bee, is disappearing at an alarming pace. It pollinates the foods we and other living things need to survive. If all the bees are gone in 20 years or so we could face starvation and then civil chaos. All our knowledge, advancements and studies will mean nothing if we are not around.
Is it time to rethink how the research funds should be spent? Perhaps restructuring how we personally and collectively function might be a start. It's possible that huge industries may have to be reshaped at enormous costs and job losses. The alternative could be far worse.
