Darwin in the Land of Ooze
Paul Ewald gave a talk at TED about how can we make harmful organisms more mild. Today’s pharmaceutical research and products work on fighting evolution of harmful organisms. His suggestions is that this is mostly wrong and that we should instead be identifying ways to make evolution work for us and make it happen. Of course he describes a few studies to prove the point.
I wonder how this applies to other areas of study, like Infosec. While some might see Infosec as a technology problem, it is in fact mostly a human problem in the end of the day.
