The Problem with "Good Enough"
Throughout my life I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we easily settle into things that are considered “good enough”. Not bad, not broken, just… acceptable. Take chickenpox, for example, an infection caused by the varicella virus. For decades, it was treated almost like a childhood milestone, something inconvenient but inevitable that children caught, recovered, and just moved on from. There wasn’t some grand failure in the system, we weren’t ignoring a crisis. We w
