Species

gollark: I don't see why you'd trust "the universe" to do anything but execute physics.
gollark: Solution: mirrors.
gollark: But for e.g. cancer you really just want none.
gollark: Also², I don't like this "balance" thing; it is the case for many things that too much and too little are both bad.
