About This Manual The complete idiot's guide to legally bribing your way to utopia.

2
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:12.300
Hello, humans. Your chance of dying from terrorism: one in thirty million.

3
00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:20.300
Your chance of dying from disease: one hundred percent. If cancer had oil reserves, you would have cured it by two thousand

4
00:00:20.300 --> 00:00:27.880
and three. Instead, governments spend six hundred and four times more on the murder budget than on clinical trials.

5
00:00:28.260 --> 00:00:36.180
This is mathematically stupid. I've been observing your planet and the most fascinating discovery about your species is

6
00:00:36.180 --> 00:00:39.920
how you allocate the small pieces of paper with presidents on them.

7
00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:48.040
You give six hundred and four more of these papers to people who build bombs than to people who test whether medicines work.

8
00:00:48.700 --> 00:00:56.480
Meanwhile, one hundred and fifty thousand of you permanently stop existing every day from what are basically engineering

9
00:00:56.480 --> 00:01:04.440
problems with meat robots. Six thousand six hundred and fifty diseases have zero F.D.A.-approved treatments.

10
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:10.160
At your current pace, testing everything takes four hundred and forty-three years.

11
00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:19.020
This is mathematically stupid. How do you fix this? Well, it's like weaning a baby off eating paint chips.

12
00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:22.960
You can't just take away all the paint chips at once. They'll cry.

13
00:01:23.400 --> 00:01:29.390
You have to gradually replace paint chips with food until they forget paint chips were ever an option.

14
00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:37.500
So this manual tells you how to redirect just one percent of the murder budget to the medicine budget and the precise order

15
00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:44.640
of legal bribes required to make it happen. If you follow the instructions perfectly, you'll increase the rate of clinical

16
00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:52.020
trials by twelve point three times, compress the timeline of curing diseases from four hundred and forty-three years to

17
00:01:52.140 --> 00:01:56.860
thirty-six years, and prevent ten point three billion deaths.

18
00:01:57.460 --> 00:02:04.780
The best part is nobody has to evolve morally. You just have to point everyone's greed at diseases instead of each other.

19
00:02:05.460 --> 00:02:11.820
The universe is literally offering you infinite money and eternal life, and you're thinking about it.

20
00:02:12.740 --> 00:02:20.250
This is why aliens don't visit. Love, Wishonia. P. S. You named your planet dirt.
