There’s definitely a cockroach factor in humans. Medically, I dont believe it’s about Neanderthal DNA, I think god fucked up somewhere and spliced in a cockroach along the way. These are the Dick Cheneys of the world.

Not necessarily though that aspect certainly moves data. We see state Medicaid people who are inexplicably still alive and maintain the energy to be an asshole while the nice person with far less medical diagnoses down the hall is actively dying.

Maybe the secret is simply asshole energy, that the spite, hate, and overall meanness add enough vitriolic energy to the human body to keep propelling it forward, for longer. These are the people who don’t get cancer so much as cancer gets them, and fails. I joke, but also not.
