Skill Issues | MIT Admissions
I guess the best way I have to express this is actually through a line from Adventure Time. There’s a scene in which Jake, the older brother (who… also happens to be a very elastic dog) assures the main character, Finn, that “sucking at something is the first step to being really good at something”

The defiant notion that we would forever overcome nature has given way to pride of a different kind: increasingly we celebrate our ability to bend without breaking, to adapt as gracefully as possible to a natural world whose temper we’ve come to respect.

scientists have figured out how to genetically modify microbes so they secrete custom molecules, kind of like changing a line of code in a computer program to produce a different result

Every act of communication is an act of tremendous courage in which we give ourselves over to two parallel possibilities: the possibility of planting into another mind a seed sprouted in ours and watching it blossom into a breathtaking flower of mutual understanding; and the possibility of being wholly misunderstood, reduced to a withering weed.

The tool could go into optometrist offices and health-care clinics to screen more people, who could be referred to a neurologist for specialized care if needed. Potentially, it could replace costly brain scans.
