We keep hearing about Kuru. I think it's a real possibility.
And then I ask… Given that the cannibalism was widely practiced among this set, surely it was common knowledge that kuru was a risk. Which then makes me ask… Do they partake KNOWING that they may be afflicted? And that they are given "off market drugs" to keep the disease at bay. Keeps them all on a leash. When [they] want to get rid of someone, [they] just cut you off from your medicine. You never make it to trial. We see so many sickly Cabal faces, lately.
Anyhow, just speculating.
