> The "ideal body" is actually healthier now than it was 20 years ago.
So you agree that the 'ideal body' does not necessarily mean it's 'heathier' and because the 'ideal' changes through time.

Because feeling hungry stops when you eat? Presumably your body was taught this when you were a child.
An unconscious zombie might eat but it would be eating human brains. Generally Cannibalism, especially of neural tissue, can lead to prion disease.
The part that separates us from the animals as far as I am aware is language.
Here are people that were not raised by humans, they seem to have an inability to adapt to human society if they develop past a certain age without reintegration with humans:

I believe Chomsky attributes recursion as a fundamental part of our language:

And some science suggests the first humans to develop recursive language were twins and their parents couldn't really understand them:

Feelings (emotions not sensory like touch or sight) are experienced are they not? Not the other way around. As in you observe your feelings; not you tell yourself what to feel.
So what's the problem again?

I wish instead of just waving a wand around saying 'because physics' the author would bother to explain more clearly what their problem with physics here is.

This is fantastic news! I wasn't aware that this vaccine was out. Hopefully many people will benefit from this.

Then what about everyone else trying to get in through the Mexican border?
"Now, folks like the guy in this story are not “refugees” by the technical definition; . They’re either asylum-seekers, which is a technically different thing, or they’re people who just try to move to escape a bad situation back home. But to me this is a distinction without a difference; "
So can be said for a lot of people wanting to come to the U.S. to make a living.
Personally making immigration affordable and efficient to meet the demand is a possible direction we could go (I think it would reduce harm) but that isn't the one we've gone down so far.

Fukushima happened and that was how Germany decided to respond.

It's just a conveniention as far as I am aware. Similar one is applied to comics.

So if your peers have a nice fat ass that the boys all like to oggle at while walking between classes and you're stuck with a skinny thigh gapping flapjack white girl tush you bet your ass you're gonna start eating some cheese berders.
The feeling of wanting to fit in is constant for teens. What 'fitting in' looks like changes over time.
What's desired has changed over time in my life alone. Booty is a great example. I grew up with mostly white women in media shaming themselves and asking if their dress made their ass look fat while also trying to get boob implants.
Nowadays booty is WAAAAY more prominent and desired and those old tired jokes about their ass looking fat a hell of a lot less common.

I'm just saying how it is in the U.S. in practice.
Regardless ending nuclear power in Germany is a popular enough position that Merkel was re-elected. Probably not just on that issue but she listened to what her people wanted and she kept getting elected because of it (as far as I know; I'm not German).

In the U.S. I expect my Representative to act in the interest of what will get them re-elected.
I am not too familiar with the ins-and-outs of Germany's politcal system though it appears to be a popular position.

Um fusion being close to being viable, which your link is supporting, doesn't mean it's close enough to help us this century with regarding climate change (which is what your link is about), which isn't what I said it would do. I apologize if I worded it a way that you felt implied that.
South Korea I understand is investing heavily here[1]. If I'm not mistaken so is China. Too bad we (Western society) can't work with Iran on this as well.
However, please consider when we talk about changing our sources of energy over, that what will work has to work within costs and regulatory conditions.
If I'm not mistaken it can take around 20 years for an experienced nuclear capable nation to get a reactor up and running from initial phase of saying yes you can build a reactor.
Solar is outpacing that.[2] Which your link also supports.
"The pattern of power supply is changing. The massive take-up of solar power by households means we have now permanently shifted from the old model of large power stations to one where supply is distributed around the network. "
Fission (by itself) is not solving climate change this century either.
Additionally I think fission powered cargo ships would be a great option to reduce carbon emissions too. Since the U.S. Navy is very experienced with nuclear powered vessels and Russia has that nuclear powered icebreaker, I think it's technology possible.
Unfortunately setting up a regularity system for that is likely completely unrealistic though I'm happy to be wrong here.

Because the German citizens voted for it.
On an individual to individual basis we might recognize bad content meant to feed off of our base emotional instincts versus content meant for accuracy and to inform.
However collectively it appears there's more of us that rather get sucked into the rage content than try for objective or accurate reporting.
This mirrors the transition of television News from not needed to be profitable to needing to be profitable. Look at the success of cable news.
