前天讀到的知識大融通講到了科學家的問題
科學家的成就可以以下面的一段話來描述
某某某發現了OOO，………。
如果你在科學上沒有獨特的貢獻
無論你多麼博學有素養
在科學界你永遠是一個不足道的小人物。
反之這也可以解釋為什麼有些著名的科學家卻反而是心胸狹窄、見解狹隘的人。
因為科學的發現很多時候的運氣成分。
前天聚餐
長輩提到了友人去看中醫
中醫建議的斷食療法
不吃魚、肉、澱粉類食物
不給癌細胞營養
而身體真的有瘦下來
感覺不錯
昨天跟Danu跟Amm(?，從美國賓州大學附設醫院來)的兩位外籍吃鐵板燒
講到了pseudoscience
我一直以為是念 [swedoˋsaɪəns]
發音錯誤他聽不懂
他說了正確發音 [͵sudoˋsaɪəns]
我說台灣很盛行這些偽科學類的民俗療法
而美國也是
Amm說對阿
That’s what happened to Steve Jobs.
我原本對他沒特別興趣
只是之前媒體強烈報導我還是看了一些
只知道他不想要開刀所以選擇自然療法
查了wiki
Health issues
In October 2003, Jobs was diagnosed with cancer,[179] and in mid-2004, he announced to his employees that he had a cancerous tumor in his pancreas.[180] The prognosis for pancreatic cancer is usually very poor;[181] Jobs stated that he had a rare, far less aggressive type known as islet cell neuroendocrine tumor.[180] Despite his diagnosis, Jobs resisted his doctors’ recommendations for mainstream medical intervention for nine months,[144] instead consuming a special alternative medicine diet in an attempt to thwart the disease. According to Harvard researcher Dr. Ramzi Amir, his choice of alternative treatment “led to an unnecessarily early death”.[179] According to Jobs’s biographer, Walter Isaacson, “for nine months he refused to undergo surgery for his pancreatic cancer – a decision he later regretted as his health declined.”[182] ”Instead, he tried a vegan diet, acupuncture, herbal remedies and other treatments he found online, and even consulted a psychic. He also was influenced by a doctor who ran a clinic that advised juice fasts, bowel cleansings and other unproven approaches, before finally having surgery in July 2004.”[183] He eventually underwent a pancreaticoduodenectomy (or “Whipple procedure”) in July 2004, that appeared to successfully remove the tumor.[184][185][186] Jobs apparently did not receive chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
再次呼應
科學成就不等於科學素養
一手打造Apple的最重要推手、科技史巨人、最偉大的商人之一的Steve Job
不想用正統的醫學
選擇導致他沒有必要的早死的偏方療法
Intel 的Andy Grove對於自己攝護腺癌的處理就不是這種方式
更超越了一般隨意接受正統醫療建議
等級差太多了
