Because if we all think it's a threat, we don't have to put our head in the sand and ostrich.
If we're all just looking for it and we can identify it,
Early warnings of threats save lives, livestock, animals.
The early warning signal is the most important aspect of defending against future emerging threats.
And if we develop that technology, we'll be safer.
Ethical people.
And that's a huge problem in science.
I mean, I could talk forever about that.
They're not teaching ethics to people like me.
Well, I've started to, and I'm not sure how it's been received.
I published it on, on Substack.
