I cannot go throughout my day without needing my allergy medication. Does that mean from a pure biological/evolutionary standpoint, I am a flawed specimen not meant to survive?

E.g., in caveman days, I’d be weeded out for one reason or another

Not necessarily. Might not have developed that allergy in the first place due to a more primitive living environment.

I suppose you’d be weeded out in cavemen times but so would people who need glasses. I wouldn’t worry about it too much... beta male

Evolutionarily, in true survival of the fittest, you are less likely to survive. Probably not dying too early, but an allergy would be a handicap to pass on your genes.

Mind you, everything I've written applies dramatically more to Stephen Hawking. Take that as you will.

I’m flawed right with you, on multiple daily allergy medications. I’ve had this exact same thought, would I have survived beyond 5 if I was born 100, 500, 1,000 years ago? I don’t know. I do know allergies have become pandemic in this modern overly clean world, but odds are I high anyone of us would have died from infection at an early age. Wow it’s turned deep.

Instead of clubbing each other to death nowadays we just outspend each other

Speaking of cavemen, have you ever tried paleo? Not trying to get you to drink the koolaid, but when I did the diet my allergies were much, much better. Almost to the point where I didn’t need allergy meds during pollen season.

Agree with this and believe in it! I think it’s not so much sugar, paleo or keto. It’s the fact that mass produced grains are so bad for us (humans and pets included) and causes inflammation

Lmao glad I’m not the only one who thinks about this. Thanks for the sanity check, squad

I’m also concerned about more states piling onto BlockFi and turning them into a bitconnect or cred or something. Unlikely i know but curious about folks thoughts.
