Medicine

    • Posted by po1ntdext3r on May 8th, 2007

I think that anyone that tries to understand medicine is way over their head.
Was having a discussion about morality and trying to understand people.

Medics and Psychologist use the whole physiology, evidence-based medicine, clinical reasoning and wide range of tools to understand people.
Religious figures and philosophers use their literature, reasoning and logic to gather insight.
Mathematicians, economist and physicist use models to ‘replicate’ reality.

In my lifetime, I do not think I will ever understand it all but we do try and strive for a generalisation and simplistics but yet elegant model of life.
That said, I am fascinated by the psychology of Iago and Othello. This pair have the greatest contrast and yet they so simply reflect a reality in text.

Perhaps there is no answer to this question of life and yet the need for an answer drives us all to discover the meaning to life.
I tried to google it.. not much but at least it is not 42.
