Comments like yours restore my hope in HN whenever I start feeling like the community is being taken over by people whose thought processes are flirting on the edge of lunacy.
Imagine someone saying some diseases shouldn't be cured. I'm sure the millions of people all over the world who right now are suffering heart-rending pain from those "shouldn't be cured" diseases would be just thrilled to read the parent comment.
Jeez!
You are obviously having a knee-jerk reaction, because I am questioning the very core of society which is the very thing making you comfortable. I am just trying to have a reasonable discussion.
Now, there are PLENTY of ways of solving diseases without science. Many diseases are caused by our modern western diet, being sedentary, living in large cities, and being lumps all day whose only purpose is to further more technology.
Perhaps it would be a better idea to solve diseases by dismantling this system and thereby making us more healthy so that we don't NEED science as much?
The problem is, science has convinced you that disease is just natural and that you need it to solve everything.
Again, I am advocating for a healthier lifestyle AWAY from technology, which is certainly possible, instead of relying on technology to solve the very health problems that are created by technology.
Why not both?
