Lots of drugs that have 51/49 brexit success rations classed as wild successes like brexit. Althought that metaphor will be lost on literalists. Some drugs do work but so do some natuaral remedies. Ginko Biloba is good when combined with Ginseng. But Big Pharma using its clout to shut down trade in natural remedies. Not using its clout to shut down the sugar industry is it?
OK, now I see what your problem is. What would you substitute for "profit motive"? With God out of the picture, who's there to take care of us and pursue the cause of justice? Not that this isn't a derail from something (simulation) that was already a derail when you started it. Attention deficit, much?
Nah, not necessarily. But your last derail has been comprehensively shown to be pure shit. Time to move on, eh?
I'm OK with the profit motive at the individual level, glorious to be wealthy. Things like Big Pharma should be regulated and embedded within the state apparatus since they will not invest in cures outside a spartan few that brings them easy monies. I'm very much a two systems one state proponent in regards what actually works these days to produce economic growth etc. I am not and have not been a communist for a long time however.
Is our world a simulation? If so, you can blame the simulators for Big Pharma. Better yet, you could just go back to bed and quit trying to pretend to be thinking about anything specific. This is all going to end up in another pointless thread of yours if you keep it up.
