….it’s been a long time since I have posted.
How about this to dip the toe back in (from Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, Abundance):
“But there are still so many mysteries that require fresh breakthroughs. We’ve made disappointingly little progress with many cancers. Complex diseases like Alzheimer’s and schizophrenia elude treatment or even basic comprehension. The cellular process of aging is a deep mystery. We still don’t have effective vaccines for adult tuberculosis or hepatitis C, or vaccine platforms that we can immediately scale up in the event of a new pandemic.”
And the thought this provoked (among many) was wow, any of these would be noble, important breakthroughs and yet, Occupy Mars?
