Re: Weird things you judge people for?

Thank you! I admit I get a little twitchy-eyed when people say things like "of course we should test all the natural remedies to see if it works and not dismiss them out of hand" because... well, that's what science has been doing all along. That's how we got so many of the medications that are currently on the market. I'm grateful for this, because it means that when I've eaten something that disagrees with me and have the runs, I can swallow a tiny, tasteless, non-addictive tablet of Imodium instead of eating a lump of all-natural opium derived from poppies to try and stop it.

There's still plenty of material for them to test, of course, but people have this weird idea that science and Big Pharmacy don't understand how many useful things can be derived from natural sources. I assume it's because they don't know the history of pharmaceuticals or how they're developed, but it's still kind of funny.

That's what science has been doing, yes. I'm talking about the irritating people I deal with in casual conversation who don't understand science but think they do.
