    unless cell cultured meats come in a big way or there is a drastic reduction for demand of meat, overuse of antibiotics in the meat industry will continue which will just keep driving antibiotic resistance in bacteria even further. I don’t really have faith in governments to regulate this (doing so would basically kill factory farming) so relying on new treatments is all I can suggest.

    Demagoguery, something that Socrates critiqued as a product of democratic systems.

    Socrates imagined an election between a doctor and a candy store owner. The doctor would tell the populace what they didn’t want to hear.
    As Socrates described it, the candy store owner would say of the physician that he works many evils on you. He hurts you, gives you bitter potions, tells you not to eat and drink whatever you like. What fun is that? The candy store owner, however, would offer sweets and tasty things. He would appeal to what people wanted, not what they needed. He would provide easy and popular answers to all their difficult problems

    unfortunately we have too many candy store politicians across the globe.
