“If you want to break down a body from the outside, you can do it in three ways. One: overwhelm it with something really powerful. Two: weaken its defences by giving it nothing to fight against, like washing all germs away, for a generation.

The third is sort of what Al-Qaeda tried with 9-11 or what we did with some of the covid lockdowns.”

“My audience is the future of my nation and my species. Their reaction to death, and the beauty of this bird, will not leave my mind, even as I deliver some standard lecture on genetics for the next forty-fice minutes.”
