Daniel shares his journey to becoming a bioethicist. He discusses the issues with focusing on brain imaging to understand substance use, and the stigma experienced by people who use substances. He also talks about the need to believe people, and really listen, and the epistemic injustice of who is wronged in their capacity as a knower. Daniel also reminds us of this great song by Leonard Cohen and how there is beauty in imperfection.
