I wholeheartedly agree. If you want to depress yourself further, think about how much potential for good we squander on the web in terms of medical information.

I wholeheartedly agree. If you want to depress yourself further, think about how much potential for good we squander on the web in terms of medical information. If we had designed the internet differently (eg: with considerations for privacy, authenticity, verifiability) we could pool resources and have millions of people report on medications, treatments, nutrition, etc. If a regular person uses the web we actually have today to do their own health research, they're playing dice with their life.
