Doctor Mike

I mean, they're just all around.

These are people.

These are people that are administering an institution and you're gonna find problems with that.

But the whole idea that you would like, I'm never going to a doctor because I heard about this doctor and he was on the take.

or he was incompetent, or he was faking his degree, or he inappropriately touched a patient or something, so I'm not gonna go to the doctor.

Well, it's nuts.

Why would you do that?

These are people, and people are really, really imperfect.

It's the underlying concept that we're trying to get at

through the imperfect vessel of an institution that's built by people and doing the best that we actually can.

That's how I think about it.

The other thing that I often consider about this is that my dad was a PhD biostat and he was the most brilliant man I knew personally.

He was also deeply, deeply religious.

And I asked him about this early on.

And maybe this will actually, maybe this will be familiar to you.

I grew up in Seattle.

And two years before I was born, Seattle had the World's Fair, which was, and in 1962, I was born in 1964.

In 1962, the World's Fair was there.

And the theme was man in space.

So there's this total science craze all around the world.
