“The further you stray from the
natural, the more diligent you need to be about understanding the consequences.”
That’s a useful personal maxim I arrived at over the years.
The reason: Nature has had eons
to work through the mechanics of interaction. Nature uses its own slow
mechanisms to weed out the dangerous, balanced against a universe of… well…
everything. It’s not perfect. But it has a major leg up on humanity in this
regard.
I’ve found it holds true in most
matters of business modeling. I assert it holds doubly true in matters that are
themselves more primal and central, such as nutrition.
