Dara O'Briain: Science doesn't know everything

Guest: StupidAmerican (1589 days ago)

"un-stupid" You didn't really type that did you? When you're a bit less of a moron, you may then judge others, including Americans. Stupid.

Un-stupid would mean that he isn't stupid (if it were and actual words) you ******* twit! Playing with words means using actual words in away that is unconventional. It doesn't mean to make up words that aren't actual words on the fly because you are to ignorant to know what word to use. Even slang words have an original point of origin to actual words. Poetry, song, essays and the like are a good example of using words expressively. Expression of thought is perfect when you actually know how to think and if you know how to use the language you're accustomed to. . You have never had an original thought in your life and shows. You are basically borderline illiterate and you are indeed a moron.

I've watched this several times, and it is pretty funny, but O'Briain is wrong about a few things. First of all, reductionist, symptom-treating medicine is NOT working overall. Humans are complex organisms, living in complex environments, and current research is demonstrating the interplay among many factors. Second, attempting to isolate the 'one' effective ingredient from an herbal cure often negates the subtle interplay of the compounds in the plant, which might be impacting more than one system in the body. Last, here is an overweight comedian giving scientific/medical advice. Toothyist indeed.

Reductionist medicine not working? Tell that to my appendix, if you can find it. Secondly " subtle interplay" really means a random bunch of toxins and compounds that the plant needed to function. What are the odds that there are more than one beneficial substance in a herb that affects exactly the condition you want to treat? What are the odds that there are more than two working together? SLIM. And those two are what researchers verify in reductive experiments that gives us medicine in predictable doses as opposed to "Have a cuppa"

Also most things in herbs that worked as medicine aren't in fact from the plant but some bacteria or fungus in the plant that kills other micro organisms. Normally they live symbiotically with the plants and keep them healthy and safe from harmful micro-organisms. Its these that the researchers tend to focus on trying to find.

"First of all, reductionist, symptom-treating medicine is NOT working overall" Except for that part where the average human can expect to live nearly 30 years longer today than they could have 100 years ago. Aside from that, modern medicine is not working at all.

By definition "symptom-treating medicines" are distinct from cure-the-bug-you've-got medicines. As for the subtle interplay (did you really, deep down, want to say magic?) you seem to be unaware that double blind tests can be applied to compounds be they organic, inorganic, pure element or mixture. The tests don't stop working because you added some mint.
