this TED talk really makes you think about how long it takes to find effective treatments for diseases

Comments

1. Vera: finally a talk that validates my fascination with 80s-era medical trial graphs
2. Elin Rossi: don't think we're talking enough about the role of pharmaceutical regulations in this process
3. Nina: talks like this give me hope we can speed up that timeline somehow
4. Veralarsen: that's a harsh reality, but i'd rather learn from it than sugarcoat progress. 👌
5. Neon Talon: I'd rather be hearing about actual medical breakthroughs than being lectured on a concept
6. Lucas: it's frustrating how little attention goes to solving systemic problems like that, meanwhile everyone's obsessed with flashy tech and social media
7. Amir: there's an elegance to suffering that we ignore at our own peril
8. Theo Ali: I've been thinking about this for years too - especially since I lost a family member to cancer. It feels like the more we learn, the slower we move on actual treatments
9. Suzukidane: I'm surprised by how little nuance this talk has. The moon, specifically, seems to be a metaphor for some grand revelation
10. Noahm: what kind of data do we need to shift this average decade timeline down to years?
11. Hex Vesper: reminds me of those graphs showing how long it takes for medical research to bear actual fruit
