Like the railroad system is only somewhat less complex than the healthcare system but it offers a vastly more rewarding nerdgramming API. Build/collect models, learn to identify all the types of equipment, learn the history, etc. This pathway is much less fun for healthcare.

I assume there’s at least a few healthcare nerds who build model hospitals, put pill photos in albums, and read insurance policies for “fun” but I doubt it’s a huge hobbyist subculture like railroads. If there’s a fun hobby there (not quantified self) I’m not seeing it

By the law of variation and nerdtular selection, such systems will only grow uglier and less comprehensible over time. If you want to keep a system comprehensible and explainable as it evolves, maybe make it nerd-outable early on. Of course you usually want the opposite.

Being unseen like a state. So ugly nobody wants to look at it. Fully illegible.

A complex system can only be properly nerdified when it stops evolving fast. It’s a sort of live embalming process. Or living taxidermy.
