Current Events > Allergies and asthma are why the brain is F-tier honestly.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Literally wtf man. Just tell my airways to stop being such little barnacles by being overly-dramatic because a speck of dust touched its walls. Like, duddeeee. Do you really think swelling up, muscles tightening, and an abundance of mucus is the appropriate response to this? You know you'll die if you don't stop this! You will DIE!!!!

Bro, it's like, an ant is found inside a building so the government decides to nuke the entire city to get rid of it. Come on bro! Like man, stop! Are you really telling me that our brain is the pinnacle of brains?

Btw, my lungs/airways are D- tier for sure.

You're not wrong, lol.

Like, as powerful as the brain is, you'd think we would have some sort of manual shut-off function. Like, DANGER, DANGER, INTRUDER DETECTED. GO INTO OVERHAUL. And when you start sneezing, coughing, wheezing, you can consciously go "Oh, I'm okay. Stop." and the allergic response turns off.

Liver is S-tier, obviously.

Humans can't be trusted with their own survival though.

brain doesn't control the innate immune system. all the symptoms you described are activated locally by immune cells in place, outside the control of the central nervous system.

It is because of modern society. These people wouldn't survive without drugs and extra support, so their issues are not selected against by evolution

I say this as a bipolar person who refuses to have kids because of this

allergies make me believe in the devil

That would be a miracle for my quality of life... and my wallet.

Asthma ain't cheap, man! I used to hate the word asthma itself as if it was an external rival of mine. Really, it's just my body being dumb and not understanding that it's doing self-harm. It's just one of the exploits of our system I guess.
