    I'm after a really shitty night and waiting for a doctor in hospital.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're feeling better soon.

As for the rest of your comment, it had me grinning, not because there was anything funny about the subject (quite the contrary) but because you somehow incorporated the news headlines of the week (the Brock Turner case and the mass murders in Florida) into your one comment about a scientific discovery that hasn't happened yet. That's quite a wide range of topics.

    I get that. But there are also assumptions in your theory: that somehow today you can be forced to undergo something like that.

This is true, and neither of us can know which of the assumptions we hold will happen in the future.

This just goes to show that on one of your worst nights, you're more optimistic about humankind than I am on one of my best. I hope that you're more right about it than I am. I'm just skeptical that you are in this case.
