    It’s societal cancer, imagine an organism that allows a few cells to monopolize most of the nutrients. You’d cut it out to save the host, but this has metastasized. The immune system has been reprogrammed to defend the cancer.

      Growth for the sake of growth is cancer. That’s what it is. It destroys bodies and societies alike.

      To keep within biology: the host dies and others with the same vulnerability. The ones immune to this survive and gobble up what remains of the previous hosts. Everybody stands around wondering how this could’ve happened.
