The fundamental problem is that we have chosen to use a free market mechanism for a condition that is not voluntarily acquired. No one chooses to get sick. Why then should we provide choice for its solution? Can you imagine the same solutio

Agree. I think this is the result of scale. As organizations grow, the left hand stops knowing what the right hand is doing.Work becomes focussed on 'surviving and advancing within the workplace' rather than the original mission o

Humans and our ancient immune system are not evolved for living in the hives we call cities. Cycling (and the constraints of this transportation mode)will lead to a healthier, more robust, more productive civilization if we design for it. C

As a physician, I can see that the 'corporatization' of healthcare has been a bad thing for patients. Unlike most other services whose use is discretionary, people do not choose to get sick. Healthcare is more like a police, fire

I remember in 5th grade we were taught ‘current events’. We learned about newspapers, that the ‘most important news’ was in the right hand column, where the index was in a newspaper, where the editorials were, its various parts… I remember

so we just have to inject stem cells into the area where there are a lot of damaged nerve cells without nuclei and have these cells fuse with the damaged remnants. Just throw some PEG in there with the stem cells?

This too will be weaponized. How? Capture a North Korean official, put one of these in his brain and siphon off all the juicy intel. Capture a narco trafficker. ditto. Capture a terrorist. ditto. Have we made the world better? It seems tha

If you compress something so much that its nuclei want to fuse, it must become very dense. At the core of this compression, density is intense. Unlike a thermonuclear weapon where the compression is transient, there is no release from this
