Join the Discord: https://discord.com/invite/dannyjones A plague weapon that makes infected people want to socialize, spreads before anyone notices, and fools doctors trying to diagnose it sounds like a nightmare. Wendy Orent challenges that scenario when Danny Jones brings it up from memory. She calls it science fiction and explains why she has not seen evidence that the proposed weapon would work. The discussion distinguishes documented interest in biological weapons from the much more elaborate capabilities attributed to an engineered plague. Danny presses her on whether changing the disease could delay a response and make an attack more destructive. Orent's objection centers on the costs of changing an organism that has evolved over a long period. She argues that some modifications can put altered strains at a disadvantage against natural strains, weakening the improvements a weapons program wants to preserve. She also revisits a disturbing account from a Russian source she later came to distrust. Although she included the account in her book, she says she cannot verify whether it was true or whether the proposed mechanism would work. Her skepticism leaves room for uncertainty about what researchers have attempted. She explicitly declines to claim that nobody anywhere has tried to create such a pathogen. The conversation also examines the difference between civilian and military programs in the former Soviet biological weapons system. Orent describes military laboratories whose work remains opaque to her and warns against filling that gap with confident speculation. Danny asks about deployment and the limits of international oversight, while Orent weighs the practical weaknesses of biological weapons and the role of containment. Plague is already dangerous in her account. The disagreement concerns what evidence supports the extra capabilities in the doomsday scenario, and whether the attempt to make a more elaborate weapon would actually achieve its intended effect.
