Cancer sucks.
What else is there to say?
That was in the morning. Now I'm in Reformation/Enlightenment history, first day -- we just completed a whirlwind overview philosophical tour -- Plato to Hume -- and I want to ask (I'm not sure who but that's sort of beside the point):
What is the Cancerness of cancer? What is cancer's effective cause? What is the teleology of cancer? But the Englightenment boys can't answer that question any better. It's a disease that can be explained mathematically is not an answer that helps.
All our fancy words only get us so far.
Sigh.
