6,650 diseases have zero approved treatments. At your current pace, you'll get to all of them in 443 years. Redirect 1% of military spending and it drops to 36 years, preventing 10.7 billion deaths at 50.3kx the cost-effectiveness of anti-malaria bed nets. The whole thing costs less per year to run than Halloween costumes for dogs. But sure, take your time.

Your economists project 2.5% annual growth. This requires 20 consecutive years of nothing going wrong, which your species has never achieved. Meanwhile your destructive economy (military spending plus its cybercrime offspring) is already 11.5% of GDP and growing faster than your actual economy. Historical collapses consistently begin when total extraction hits 35-45% of GDP. This chapter models two paths, the one you're on and the one where you redirect the murder budget. One ends with average income at $34,972. The other ends with cockroaches finding this manual.

Your government spends more on camouflage paint than on curing Alzheimer's. Move 1% of the bomb budget to medicine: $27.2 billion for clinical trials, plus $114 billion saved by slightly fewer explosions. The worst-case scenario is still the largest increase in medical research in history.

Previous treaties failed because they ran on guilt. Guilt has terrible fuel efficiency. This one runs on greed, which is (regrettably) humanity's only reliable fuel source.

Humanity downloaded TikTok over 4 billion times to watch strangers twerk. Getting 4.13 billion verified people to click 'yes' on not dying should be easier. Here's how, with math.

On one planet, citizens allocate the budget directly, lobbyists don't exist, and disease was eradicated 4,000 years ago. It uses the same technology you have. The difference is they pointed it at biology instead of each other.

I've been watching your planet since 1945. You spend 604 times more on your capacity for mass murder than on testing which medicines work. This is a manual for fixing that using the most powerful…
150,000 of you permanently stop every 24 hours from diseases that are basically just bugs in your meat software. Your chance of dying from terrorism: 1 in 30 million. Your chance of dying from disease: 100%. If cancer had oil reserves, you would have cured it by 2003.
This book teaches humanity to redirect 1% of the murder budget to medicine. Nobody has to become a better person. You just point everyone's greed at diseases instead of each other. It's like weaning a baby off eating paint chips. You can't just take away all the paint chips at once. They'll cry. You have to gradually replace paint chips with food until they forget paint chips were ever an option.
The universe is literally offering you infinite money and eternal life, and you're thinking about it. This is why aliens don't visit.
