this is a wild thing to say in the modern era but is it weird that i've become like, disillusioned with our ability to treat disease
like maybe i'm totally off base but i get the impression that we can't actually do anything, we can only trick the body into helping itself. so like, every time i think about a disease we don't know how to treat, i think "what if our bodies just don't have it in them? like what if there's just not a mechanism by which this could be stopped"
