    There are two kinds of parasites:

    1. A smart parasite keeps its host alive. It limits the substance it leeches, prioritizing long term survival over short term satisfaction.
    2. A dumb parasite takes as much as it can. Even if it causes the host to die, and the parasite to die with it.

    Of course - “smart” and “dumb” are used liberally here. The organism itself is not intelligent, and neither is the process who designed it. At least - that’s how it works in nature.
