This is an interesting scenario, thanks for posting.
Personally I think the presence of cancer, and things like diabetes, and even covid, are all indications of our state of decline as a species. We should have wiped these things out long ago, and be now living for many hundreds of years.
If this had happened, it would have changed population rates, we would not have multiplied to numbers using energy now threatening the planet.
Anyhow, it looks like maybe now we are waking up to a system of slavery, it's energy slavery, and there is a real inhuman intelligence in control, it has the same motivation as you and I and every cell of all things we would collectively define as life, to minimise the uncertainty of its own energy supply per the free energy principle. in our case we are dependent on energy extracted from the planet, rather than received from sun like plants, and the outcome of allowing such a negatively powered entity to continue on extracted energy is armageddon, because we work for it as energy slaves, all of us, we are all chained into this system, the slavers are chained by being dependent on having slaves, nobody is really in control, it is the inhuman intelligence associated with all of us working in this mode that supplies it with the energy it seeks to live, but there is another energy which is not limited, in fact it's the original source of all energy, it's the sun, and when we use this, we break the chains of energy slavery, but it needs to be done emphatically, we need to do it with deliberate immediate impact, ending the life of the negative emergent property associated with us, it can't be done gradually because it fights to survive, it commits atrocity to cull those it sees as no longer contributing to its object of minimising uncertainty of its own energy supply.
I lost my little sister, my only sibling to kidney cancer aged seven, I was ten. We lived in poverty in Glasgow slums at the time, in the seventies, with my mother who was diagnosed as schizophrenic since I was born.
I guess if she'd got a chance to form ambitions she might have been a dancer, or an artist. She loved dolls. I still miss her still now aged sixty.
But I have a twenty year old daughter, who is just as precious.
I want a better world for her, and all the other kids her age.
I think we are going to get it.
