I’m a doctor. My job exists because nature hates you, and we can do better.
I have to hold my tongue when patients tell me they don’t want vaccines because they “want to do it naturally.” Fuck nature. Nature made polio, and polio paralyzes children. Nature can kiss my ass.
Nature also made us too fucking stupid to realize we don’t have massive viral issues because vaccines work.
“I don’t want no vaccine! I want to get natural immunity, then I’ll be protected!”
That’s called “getting the disease,” dumbass…
Nature also made our kickass brains which we use to create these amazing things.
Those same idiots drive home in a car to an air conditioned home. What’s “natural” about any of that?
Yep, tool use evolved pretty early in animals (some insects and fish can use tools,) though of course humans have gone a step further and use tools to make other, better tools.
The smallpox vaccine was developed in 1796, nearly a century before the first phone and a good 20 years before the first bicycles. The tech in COVID-19 vaccines was discovered 20 years before the first iPhone, but people act like it was invented yesterday.
Nature also gives us clean air, water, climate, timber, soil, food, pollination, beautiful wilderness and wildlife. Maybe not all bad.
turns 50
Dammit, nature, you suck; I’m supposed to be dead. And I sacrificed so many children to you!
That’s why she chose to keep you alive.
Become one with the woods. Take the lost children. Achieve immortality.
Is that David Frum, speechwriter to the Bush Jr administration? Writer of speeches about the axis of evil? Writer of speeches to whip up frenzy for an invasion of Iraq? An invasion based on lies? That David Frum?
Nature wants you to live to 50. Anything less than that is brought to you by Blackwater
but he made an epic science quip!!!
You could just as easily say nature wants empathy, cooperation and collective action. Also that tool use that Mr Frum seems so fond of, nature wants that too.
But of course the nature doesn’t want, it just is.
Me when I hear there’s a way to get the articles without paying money
Me years later when the hospital calls saying a red-eyed raven came demanding its due.
Totally lost as to what you mean here
You can use sci-hub to get almost any scientific article for free. But is it really free?
Also, context as per the comic panels used : https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/loss
All of this of course following the hypothesis that you must sacrifice your children to read Nature, as per the original meme.
I was totally at loss
I was referencing loss :D But thanks for the explanations
nature doesn’t want for anything
nature is everything
TIL I did not have to sacrifice my child to read Nature. You live you learn right?
Yar, har, fiddle-dee-dee
You are a pirate!
not everyone gets to
As for what The Lancet wants from you, here’s a hint: Scottish Golden Age of Medicine
I hate when people manipulate me so obviously. I feel insulted. It’s like intellectual groping

I think things would be a lot better if it was still that way
