I had a dream last night, that I was and old man… If you’ve been following me for a while…you probably got the idea that I’m quite obsessed with balanced liberty. I do not buy the idea that human’s do not have free will, but I do believe that to if you want to free yourself of anything it requires effort. So far I’ve been mostly concerned with the outside forces that constrain our freedoms like governments, manipulative people or tricky businesses. Yet I just realized that there’s another force that slowly constrains us with every passing day - our aging body. I’ve known and cared for many old people, but knowing something doesn’t mean you understand it. Somehow my dream helped me to understand that feeling of being old and it felt like having shackles all over your body. You mind feels young, you still want to have fun, explore and have fun or fight for something important, but you tame your emotions because your body cannot handle it anymore. Death seems like a liberation at this stage, but you won’t get to experience it. There must be another way and I think it is called medicine. Just because I’m not trained as a doctor does not mean I cannot contribute to medical science. I must put EFFORT to learn more about aging and look for ways to keep the body young longer. Best part is that everyone in the world is my ally in this struggle, we all want to fight aging. What can we do? So here’s a Ted talk given by young doctor telling about the major problem that medical doctors are facing and this problem HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MEDICAL SCIENCE! And I’m sure you’ve noticed it too that whenever you go to doctor he acts more like a secretary - filling up bunch of forms. It’s ridiculous?! Imagine if firefighter had to fill up dozens of forms to take one person out of the fire, people would never be saved. And yet we allow lawyers, insurance companies and government beuracrats to turn our hospitals into paper swamps. We use elaborate software to watch stupid videos, play games and do all kind of nonsense… why don’t we use it to save lives?! I feel like there must be a team of software developers at every major hospital analyzing doctors tasks and automating all of the routine. We must save doctors from beuracrats so they can save us from aging. https://youtu.be/Kykj3k2wBXg
