RE: Keeping people sick is the profitable business model.

Ever since there have been companies that produce more than is needed for their own needs, there have been efforts to expand this "more". The birth of the mass market at the beginning of industrialisation is not difficult to understand from my point of view. Everything that can be produced in masses and huge quantities was and is produced.

Since everything can be marketed economically as long as a device or production facility is provided for it, it is merely a matter of creating newer and ever cheaper production possibilities for more and more customers in order to be able to "serve" the insane number of billions of people.

From my point of view, it is maybe already in the past that matter in masses can be further developed as a market. The trend is towards "anti-matter" (LOL), rather than inventing things that attract a huge market with fewer and fewer material properties or in such small quantities that you can basically go on endlessly with them.

A perhaps crazy idea to this would be to basically give a "medicine" or "injections" that has no effect at all, except for a mental one. Since there is not only substance but also faith in every active ingredient, the effects differ, depending on the person and the state of mind. It is impossible to ever find out what makes a substance powerful or powerless in its effects, because the proportion of mental, psychological or spiritual state cannot be measured quantitatively. So the question ultimately always remains unanswered as to what it is that helps or kills one.

No doctor, no pathologist, if he is honest, can really say with certainty what kills a person. Even less can anyone say what has made a seriously ill person healthy, especially if they have decided against, for example, conventional medical treatment. It is the exceptions that are interesting to investigate. Which, if they developed from exceptions to the rule, would herald a whole new game.

I doubt everything by now. I think the effect of what you take as medicine and think you depend on is way overestimated. You basically don't have any other experiments at hand either, where, for example, people recovering from heart attacks or strokes don't swallow pills. Something like that would probably be considered unethical. The very fact that one would admit to one's family doctor that one is not taking the prescribed medication would raise eyebrows, to say the least.

Imagine, if the medicines of the future contained only water. LOL. Since it's probably way too costly to put all the other stuff in it, of which you have to put a really heavy effort into making it to begin with.

Still, there are other forces opposing this, such as hospitals that are growing like small towns and still need real patients. Like so many other forces that you can't even name them all....

P.S. nice movie screenshot, by the way - LOL :)
