Shortening your period of observation so that the effects have not occurred yet does not mean it’s “mitigated”.

And your philosophy of your own mortality is just as reductive, because humans have been trying to survive since time immemorial and do not actively work on their deaths unless in an unhealthy mental state.

Seems like a more important problem, then, the part where people inevitably die. I mean compared to having some plastic in their heads.

I mean, what are we really going to do about it? So much chaos in the world, I don't think many are focusing on keeping plastics out of our body. No one's championing it.
