the western, rockefeller school of medicine, is failing;
Nothing is so permanent as a temporary government program—Milton Friedman
Recently, a noteworthy exampls of this principle came to my attention after I learned all of the online dating apps had switched from formats that allowed people to find suitable long-term partners to ones that prevented people from matching, because if someone found a good match, they would stop paying for the service. Once one company figured this out, they bought out all competitors and shifted them to this predatory model as well (and all the profound consequences it entails).1,2,3,4,5,6
Note: because online dating has now become so bad, the companies that monopolized the market are starting to lose a lot of users and money, signaling there may be a chance for this cycle to reset itself.1
This article will focus on how that principle applies to medicine and why I believe beyond greed, complacency also plays a central role in the continual recurrence of this dynamic across societies.
