I mean it, too - someone could make a hefty bundle with a graphic novel on this. I'm floating the idea - someone should take up the idea. (Send me 1% of the proceeds.
)
But, Stonehart, there's no sense to be frightened to death. It is what it is.
The puzzle is why it has been allowed to just 'run it's course'. Which is what it looks like they are doing. It's surreal. Seems like something the Paracast could start focussing on - stir up some dust with this one. Shine a light on. An idea. (And publish that graphic novel!)
Okay, now you ready for one of my stories? It's about radiation. About 7 or 8 years ago I was hiking with some people in the mountains. One couple began sharing that both of them had been afflicted with cancer and had undergone chemo. They were cancer survivors and they felt they had been 're-shaped' at profound physical levels by the whole process - I hope I am conveying their ideas and feelings correctly. Anyway, they then went further - and this was the first time I had heard of this idea (but have subsequently heard it suggested a handful of times) - that they felt that they had undergone a 'mutation' of a kind and that this would make them resistant to the increased radiation that would be on the earth in the future. It's one of those 'woo' idea that get everyone's hackles up on this site - but I don't see it that way.
The idea of radiation increasing substantially has been around for a few decades. The suggested mechanism for that increase has shifted and not been consistent - but the idea of the increase has been consistent. Ideas are important. IMO they don't come from 'nothing'. Historically, if you watch how things and events come to be there are foreshadowings - and there have been consistent foreshadowings of this idea that radiations is going to increase to such high levels that humanity is going to change somehow, 'mutate'.
Life is very resilient - very persistent. I don't float this idea to foster complacency - but it's the questioner in me, the part of me that likes to play with the possibilities. What don't we know? What don't we understand? What will this challenge - and all the other challenges (fomented by humanity or not) that are gathering across the planet - what will this cause to be born? Like the plague during the Middle Ages - something came of that time of chaos and confusion. Something will come of this, too. I wonder what it will be.
