So medicine 1.0 was medicine through all of human history, basically until the end of the 19th century. And so for the longest period of, you know, for hundreds of thousands of years, whatever we thought of as medicine, this 1.0 system, wasn't a scientific thing, right?

It was ideas that were based on beliefs that we had at the time that I think were understandable given that we didn't have a scientific process. So it meant that diseases were believed to result from the gods or from bad humors or from these sorts of ideas. And therefore, the treatments were usually pretty ineffective.

You know, it wouldn't be uncommon for them to bloodlet people if someone had a fever or to bore a hole in your head if you had a headache. I mean, things that we would look back at today and say, that's crazy. Well, yes, but they didn't know any better, and that was medicine 1.0. And, you know, people lived pretty awful lives today.

I think if anybody's feeling sorry for themselves, which I think we're all prone to, myself included, we should just remind ourselves that we weren't born a thousand years ago. How lucky to just be alive today.

If you're still feeling sorry for yourselves, how lucky if you're listening to this and you live in the United States or you live in some part of the world where you have the freedom we have. Now, You think about how people just died all the time, right? They died of infectious diseases. There was probably a 30% chance that a woman was going to die during her lifetime giving birth.

Just astonishing hardship. All of this changes about 140 years ago with a handful of seminal improvements. One is a real codification of a scientific method. Remember, science is a process. So I really get frustrated when I hear... People talk about science as a thing. It's not a thing. It's a process. It's a way of thinking.

It's a way of making observations, taking guesses as to what it is that is accounting for the observation, designing a hypothesis that can be tested in an experiment. conducting an experiment and measuring the results of the experiment against what would have been predicted by the hypothesis and then, if necessary, revising the hypothesis and coming up with better and better theories. That's it.
