> Parasites are not always a bad thing, it is found in areas where people end up with SOME parasites in their systems, allergic reactions to things reduces. But parasites also means a body can be damaged, starved of vital nutrients. So now it becomes, are these microscopic creatures vital to the survival of the species, or should it be systematically removed from their biology, vaccinated into oblivion, and therefore freeing them from constant, voracious, hunger?

Deathworlders are generally terrible at long-term planning. Most of their history contains _ample_ evidence of this statement. Forgoing long-term public health in favour of short term excitement, political gain, or fiscal profit is a popular one. Then of course, there's the hardy perennial war against their worst enemy - themselves.

So when the Thranityr got news of the parasite that _caused_ the Vorax appetite, there was an immediate argument about what to do about it.

There was the faction for tradition - which included the Vorax tradition of eating their dead. Which, incidentally, was how the parasites got passed along in the first place. There was the faction for a cure, citing the potential for peace between the species henceforth. Which the traditionalists decried as siding with weakness. A third faction - told to shut up by the other two - offered to let willing volunteers try the cure, and then standing back to watch what happened next.

A corollary to the general rule of Deathworlders being terrible at long-term planning, is that those few who _have_ a rational solution are ignored or put down by the rest.

This, among many other reasons, is why the Human species is considered insane. It was looking like the Thranityr were not very far behind in terms of irrationality.

The more rational minds pulled aside the silenced minority for a hushed talk about doing some science while the other two were still duking it out.

In the meantime, there was cheese.

# Keep up the good work. 👏🎵

Dear beloved Hive creator,

Coding poet [Gudasol](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2WEKrYq0mht0kyFguEcYzi) here to support you sharing your art + life on Hive. 

As a fellow creator, I know how hard it is to get the word out there.

I built [cXc.world](https://linktr.ee/cXc.world) to help creators like us get more support from the blockchain community + beyond. 

Share your music on [cXc.world](https://linktr.ee/cXc.world), and copy the Markdown for a easy post includes embedded players for Spotify, Youtube, Soundcloud.

That way, you can earn HIVE + **stack streams** on centralized platforms, as they do still matter.

Not a music creator? No problem. You can still use [cXc.world](https://linktr.ee/cXc.world) to find + share music you love. 

# What's next?

# Bad news: Saying see you later to Hive! 👋 

We didn't get the needed support to continue cXc.world on Hive, as [our DHF proposal](https://peakd.com/me/proposals/314) lacked votes, but [Good News Everyone] cXc.world will add a Markdown copy button, allowing you to easily share your music + music you find on Hive. 

For now, we're on WAX, with [tools you can use to mint your own Music/Media NFT collection](https://tools.cxc.world).
