06/27/01 My use of the word understanding in this episode is probably misleading. People really do understand more than they give themselves credit for. There are lots of things in our world that don't make sense or are not very well planned out. Commonly, when confronted by these kinds of things (senseless violence or a bad film, for instance) people will say: "I don't understand." We should have more faith in ourselves and in our ability to analyzie the world we live in. The biologist who talks about tryptophane in this episode was inspired by John Linell's song tryptophane.
