Well, you made it to the fourth part about bed bugs, and we're going to start off talking a little bit about insecticides, though that's not truly my expertise.

I've learned a few things about insecticides over the years.

Though on a related topic, I will state I know a thing or two about evolution. So let's start there. Evolution can happen

over thousands and millions of years, but it is always, always occurring. And when selection

pressures become intense, some aspects of evolution move rather quickly.

So now we're starting to see headlines and newspapers and in scientific journals, let's say,

bedbugs are evolving thicker exoskeletons to help them resist widely used insecticides.

Now remember that selection and evolution, they're neither good or bad things.

It's just a thing. And what evolution does is it gives you as a species upgrades, you know,

a 2.0, 3.0, whatever is really needed for the current environment to compete. Natural selection

allows the best able to survive an environment to live and then pass down its genes. And

is done without a consciousness, which can be tough for a species built and motivated by fiction like our species to accept.

So I'll get back to explaining that.

But on a practical level, a deer might not like that a mountain lion has become a stealth

predator, but the mountain line loves any advantage it has.

So again, it is not that natural selection and evolution is good or bad.

You know, it may be good for the mound line, bad for the deer. We can give multiple examples

throughout multiple species on how it affects its own species and then the one that may be

predator or prey. Getting back to fiction, believing we are designed by someone or something,

it takes less thought and proof and is easier to accept.

And it's amazing how many people, including some religious positions,

such as in my town, are willing to believe against all evidence
