I've always wondered about why medical science tends away from 'mechanical' solutions - i.e. physically damaging tumors/other problems in lieu of deep & detailed understanding of the biological process and attempting to interrupt that. Feels to me like pure science over problem solving - but that's my bias as an engineer.

Reply to what does this sub think of Elon Musk by [deleted]
There is way more technology and raw science out there that can revolutionise capital intensive industries but established industry prefers incremental change.
Musk isn't so much important to developing science & technology but he brings an ability to operationalise science and technology into real world applications in a way that traditional corporate innovation just can't do.

This is great, but I did have a chuckle at the size of that arm delicately holding one little strawberry

So, if the USA is going to tax them, do they get representation too?
