I had related thoughts about this yesterday while mowing. (I was so lost in thought that I forgot I was mowing.) Is cannibalism related to parasites? I mean, what would drive people to want to eat other people? Sure, I can see that statistically that some people might want to eat other people, but the problem seems more pervasive than that. Perhaps there is a driver? Well, in shrimp at least, cannibalism is related to parasitic infection.
It makes me wonder that through the centuries were human sacrifice, cannibalism, etc. all driven by parasitic infection. It also makes me wonder why Trump would recommend the vaccine. Perhaps it has anti-parasitic properties?
Also, what might these parasites do to the thinking processes of humans? Are there that many naturally occurring sociopaths? Like moths to a flame, are sociopaths drawn to positions of power? Likely. They see people as puppets. But how could there possibly be so many naturally-occurring sociopaths? Perhaps it is the parasites?
I like your StarGate idea. I have thought about this before as well.
I don't know about parasites, but on a similar note I remember reading something about how a human has to be starving for a very long time and the majority of it's brain would have to shut down for the brain to consider eating another human. This was talked about in a stranded people on a ship type of scenario.
Been saying this a long time.
The 'diseases' aren't what we think. They are parasitic. They have consciousneses that take over the host mind.
The worst of them you get from consuming human.
Star Gate SG-1 was true. The Goauld.
If you remove the parasites (symbiotes) the host dies.
Unless certain chemicals are consumed.
