Modern medicine, for keeping me sane. Without aspirin, my TMJ pain would be serious trouble.
You can thank ancient medicine (not modern) for the use of “aspirin” to treat joint pain. Using medicines derived from willow trees and other salicylate-rich plants for pain relief has been around since at least Hippocrates and probably even the Sumerians.

True. I doubt it would be as cheap, safe and effective as it is without modernity, though.
Edited to add: I posted my suggestions in the comments. What are your own suggestions for social business ideas relevant to SI?
Indeed. Even plenty of nonhumans can figure out efficacious medicine from stuff around them.
