![Star Trek The Next Generation scene. Three screenshots, all on the bridge. First pic is Worf, uncomfortably close in on his face and he looks like he's screaming and about to eat your face. His Klingon forehead loaf is extra sharp and ridgey, and his eyes have a sick maniacal twinkle. Closed caption reads, "[WORF YELLING]"
Pic two is still on Worf, only now he's just standing like a chill Klingon guy, and we now see he's talking to someone but we only see them from behind. Closed caption reads, "This is how the Klingon lures a mate."
Third pic is now fully focused on who Worf was talking to, a young Wesley Crusher barely 5 minutes into his own puberty, who is staring awkwardly back at Worf.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:i6ocendj65mmddfndihajsky/bafkreifq62wjv2fvmbuejrti4knze3etlvrdysuip4vo3kic7gxn46j3z4@jpeg)

book clubbing this with a friend who is very deep in the scientistic / materialistic worldview; say a prayer, if you remember, that our reading of it bears good fruit!

As long as we continue to farm animals in confined conditions, where they stew in each other's juices, we will continue to incubate strange and deadly new diseases. Farm-grown diseases have killed many millions.
