Humanity has a basket of intractable problems we have to deal with, and it's interesting to me to see how whatever our obsessions du era are, those are the ones we use to conceptualize and tackle the problems. Medicine and disease are so big with us now--everything is seen in terms of disease! Even fundamental problems like depression and loneliness.
I don't think that's a bad thing; I think our fundamental problems can probably do with tackling from any number of different perspectives or disciplines. It's just weird/interesting to see it happen.
