  • Partial agreement. I think that medication for mental illnesses is still essentially in the dark ages, and it’s partially because they were not allowed to use the plants for research to determine what about them was effective, correctly engineer them into a standardised type, and work on the therapies to work best with them.

    The physical point I don’t agree with. In these instances, the effective plants have been researched and their mode of action has (generally) been determined. It is then possible to engineer them into higher and more consistent effectiveness in the human body, than the plants which essentially had an effect by random chance.

    Hearing people younger than me talk about how their bodies are falling apart is surreal. I do basically the bare minimum in terms of nutrition, exercise a bit daily, and I feel basically the same as I did in my 20s. Maybe better even because I’m not underweight.






  • Maths by its nature is a bit abstract, but I think that the primary issue is that it is sequentially learned for the most part in primary and secondary education. If there is ever a point that a student is struggling with a concept and the teacher/parents don’t identify it in time, the student is then faced with not understanding new concepts afterwards, and may just be left behind.

    This is starkly different to other fields a student will be presented, they generally will have multiple topics that are not strictly reliant on parts learned before, and that can be relatively easily co-developed in everyday life.
