HIV was/is an early hint at the computational complexity we face in understanding biology.
Not that we should consider in insurmountable nor ungrasp-able. But that we -- or parts of our society and professional institutions -- should lose some of our arrogance.
On the upside, that complexity also harbors enormous opportunity. Just, don't be simplistic about it an let your ignorance take you into disaster.
- phyllostachys 9y agoI'm always amazed at how many doctors I've encountered behave as if their knowledge is the extent of medical practice. I get it though, research is hard to stay on top of and isn't linear to results. Granted, also, that there are lots of doctors who do follow research.
