cancer doesn't fail on any moral level. It simply is.
a misfolded protein is the most efficient structure a protein can be in.
there are billions of dollars being churned around in running for congress, and they're getting a salary of like, 200k a year. good luck running for congress without representing some very deep pockets.
I don't judge cancer. It's just efficient at growth, very efficient, and in a way that is unhelpful.
I don't think the system is evil, i think it needs treatment.
Yeah, almost all of what hexaglycogen wrote is true and well said, but the system can be evil at the same time as all of that. We can say that its evil because of the harm that it causes and the cruelty of its effects, but we likewise have to call cancer evil for the same reasons. The claim of course is that the system (like cancer) is not evil because it has no conscious intent, it just is, an amoral thing devoid of consciousness doing what it does. But even though that's true on the whole, the capitalist system unlike cancer is made of components where many of them are beings with intent, conscious human individuals aware of the harm they do, in other words: evil people. The system selects for them, rewarding sociopathy, embedding itself with that evil even if as a system it has no awareness. In my book, that makes it more than fair to call the system itself evil.
