IMO prions are like a IRL glitch. It seems like a bug without any direction, intentions whatsoever.

SoylentBlake@lemm.ee 2 months agoThat’s pretty foul. I have some sympathy for the patrons if that’s the case. Nowhere that I read was cannibalism mentioned. I’d argue arresting those involved if that’s the truth. Prions are fucking deadly serious and survive outside the body, after a person dies, and until picked up by something else. And they’ll hop species too. The literal embodiment of the dark world, just pure evil anti-life. There’s a proper analogy in some video game somewhere that I’m not finding at the moment…idk. it’s like, imagine every prion is a burnt out crystal on an LCD screen. Once there’s enough out there…it’s game over.

Prions are extremely scary but rare. In the event they start becoming more widespread, there’s no reason to think we couldn’t invent treatments for the condition. Whether by specifically targeting the misfolded proteins, or by removing the vulnerable protein from the body

Man I like your optimism, I do. I hope you’re right. Actually I hope you never need to be proven right 👍
