Thanks for the link El G – a very good series of interviews with a very insightful man, which is very hard to come by in the “sickcare” industry. Our society has definitely reified behaviors, addictions, economic decisions, etc. into compartments defined mostly by genetics and “inherent” traits, while ignoring the plethora of complex, inter-related environmental influences that are involved. Of course, that is the most convenient way for the status quo to manage perceptions and marginalize/ignore radical policy changes that may benefit large portions of the population.
