    Can you translate this "constrained vision" into a more practical application? How would dealing with the presence of STDs in a society look like using this constrained vision? How does is it differ from an unconstrained vision?

    In my experience scientists like jokes that contain a little inside information and are a little self-deprecating.

    Compare and contrast with:

    car salesmen

    preachers

    lawyers

    CEOs (Oops, those are car salesmen with a Harvard degree, evangelical fervor, and a good lawyer.)
