THE ADAM BUXTON PODCAST

NOTE

Exploring the Balance of Journalism with Thanos

The discussion revolves around the idea of curing cancer and the potential problems it may create, such as the strain on resources and the complexities of good and bad. The comparison is made to Thanos in Avengers Infinity War, who believes eliminating half of all living creatures will benefit everyone. However, it is noted that we rely on each other more than ever, despite increasing technological separation. The conversation raises questions about the sustainability and consequences of curing cancer. It is acknowledged that while it may be bleak to stop treating cancer, it is important to consider the implications. The discussion is seen as a philosophical thought experiment and not something that should be widely debated on platforms like the BBC.
