Nowhere near solving cancer, but hey we got TikTok and Facebook and crypto and AI swarms and endless porn and gambling, and an increasingly radical, divided, depressed, and anxious humanity.

What does solving cancer mean? Stopping any and all mutations from happening? Seems like a pretty tall order.

I guess being able to scan each and every cell for the cancerous mutation is also a possible solution, but also a tall order.

		I'll assume you're asking in good faith. You don't have to prevent mutations or scan every cell in the human body to "solve" cancer. You can: - make detection easier and cheaper (e.g. with less invasive biopsies) - make treatment easier and cheaper (e.g. more precise targeted treatments, making chemo a last resort instead of the only option) Among other things. There's even emerging research that certain types of cancers could be "vaccinated" against: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-02612-3

		It means being able to stop any uncontrolled cell replication.
