When we figured out that some Diseases come from little living creatures we wash our hands before operating patients and are able to create vaccines, and medicine.
I can come up with more examples like this too, but yes looking into the future is not easy, but much easier when not depressive ;)
- quaintdev 5y agoWith vaccines, we do extensive testing to ensure it does not have side effects and that it does not pose a threat to health of next generation. But I am not so sure if that same analogy can be used with everything else which is not directly impacting human health. Companies invent things, they get greedy and lose the foresight of consequences of their actions. They lobby politicians to defend their own shady practices. The general public ends up paying the price.
