It is very naive to think that the collective endgoal of humanity is to have super health when right now the only goal is which super power will dominate over the others, killing everyone who stands on their way
Not just right now - it was probably always that way. At one point those nations needed STEM e.g. engineers to win those (cultural) wars, while now we are gearing up to use robots and AI instead.
Even so, I think the loss of antibiotics is more of a short sighted side effect. It could need a century of development to overcome, but it is more profitable to sell pain relief right now so… it’s a problem for a future generation to have to deal with, so long as I get mine now, seems to be the way of thinking.
If the endgoal of humanity is for everyone to live happily and healthy why don’t they start right now by decommercializing the health sector? Why health research and provision are commercial?
