Cochineal has been replaced almost entirely by synthetic dyes, but it continues to be used principally as a colouring agent in cosmetics and beverages.

i was gonna head what i wrote with something like, "yeah well this planet is guaranteed to die off and i cant stop it, etc. sometime it is bound to. my real focus is: ..."

maybe. whenever and however i die, my hope is i don't die corrupted. like turning-in my family to save myself, or becoming corrupt like whoever 'them' might nessicarilly mean at that time. i was told that virtue, family, possessions.. in that order we ought keep. it's my virtue/karma that dictates what happens in 50 odd years from now, not a global mafia. im sure though they would like to see me corrupt, have a bad rebirth,, maybe in the seemingly infinite iterations the Dharma allows Samsara-ing to interact, these global mafia people could be underrulers feeding what is scraps before they die and have a life like a very dense rock floating in space. im Buddhist. im not a great Buddhist but the cosmology, the whole bit, makes really good sense. (e, what i meant to say is these sort of people might experience another life of incessant&indiscriminate feeding on some of which they could have encountered before. i believe we can come into contact with those we had contact with before in lives before. its early and this Is the heady-est topic i think i can discuss)

and this philosophy, the cabal people, (((those))) people know very well. this is why they use "intellect" to manifest their destiny and rely on us to drive our own nails in our coffin. because when it actually happens, they dont want to be the culprit. instead rather they are a tempter and exposing contact to pleasure, fear, lust, ill-will, greed. this is why they have strict rules on governance of respective articles in their own culture(family values, banking rules, etc)

It's a way around their plans so..sure. Why not?
