It seems that health care professionals don't have a nuanced problem solving attitude. They make a diagnosis, see how this diagnosis fits into a preconceived treatment bin, then just solve from that position without understanding what's different, what's unique to each case. And, in their defense, they probably just don't have the time for that extra work. That's where I see technology as most useful....how to automate and make more efficient the redundant parts so professionals can concentrate on the important, unique parts to each patient's diagnosis.

I definitely disagreed with the implication of generalized naivety among "tech" folk regarding the arts and humanities. It all depends on the circles you run in. I studied Latin and Ancient Greek for a long time and then I got into tech. My experience includes a number of tech people who have studied art history extensively across a wide range of traditions and I also know folks in tech who were linguists in their previous lives.

I would also argue, though, that an honest appreciative and humanistic approach to art and its place in our lives is to the NYC art scene as a loving physical relationship is to porn and hookers and this story seemed more concerned with the "scene" than actual art itself.
