Mysterious chronic illnesses tend to be hard to fix. If controlling human physiology were as easy as controlling software-based systems, some people would be able to stay alive indefinitely.
I agree they are hard to fix, but a lot of nerdy interests tend to also be hard (and that seems to be part of the attraction). So this doesn’t seem like a differentiating factor.
They are hard to fix, but you quickly realize that they’re all one-off problems and whatever solution you come up with for one person isn’t going to work for anyone else.
If you can even find a solution.
The problems are too hard, the feedback is too weak, and the solutions never generalize. All of those are the opposite of what I’d prefer out of my problems.
