The Way the World Actually Is
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex interrelated organism
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex interrelated organism
The same problem arises in medicine
Because the body is a very complexly interrelated organism
And if you look at the body in a superficial way
You may see there's something wrong with it
Here's chicken pox, and the spots that itch
You might say, "Well, spots are there, cut 'em off."
So you kill thе bug
Well, then you find you've got rеal problems
Because you have to introduce some bugs to kill the bug
It's like bringing rabbits into Australia
And that starts going all over the place and getting out of hand
Then you think, "Now, wait a minute
It wasn't the bugs in the blood
There are bugs all over the place
What was wrong with this person that his blood system
Suddenly became vulnerable to those particular bugs?"
His resistance wasn't up
Therefore, what you should have given was not an antibiotic
But vitamins
Okay, so we're gonna build up his resistance
But resistance for what?
You may build up resistance to this
And this and this class of bugs
But then there's another one that loves that situation
It comes right in
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex interrelated organism
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex interrelated organism
See, we always look at the human being medically
In bits and pieces
Because we have heart specialists
Lung specialists, bone specialists, nerve specialists
And so on
And so on
They each see the human being from their point of view
There are a few generalists
But they realize the human body's so complicated
That no one mind can understand it
And furthermore, supposing we do succeed in healing
All these people of their diseases
What do we then do about the population problem?
I mean, we've stopped cholera, the black bubonic plague
We're getting the better of tuberculosis
We may fix cancer and heart disease
Then what will people die of?
Well, they'll just go on living
With the enormous quantities of us
Then we have to fix this birth thing
Pills for everyone
Then we find what are the effects
The side effects, of those pills?
What are the psychological effects upon men
And women of not breeding children in the usual way?
We don't know
We don't know
We don't know
We don't know
We don't know
We don't know
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex interrelated organism
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex interrelated organism
Wise men say
Only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Is an enormously complex interrelated organism
The way the world actually is
Is an enormously complex interrelated organism
The same problem arises in medicine
