Speechless.

per olalonde, you'll probably find this post a lot more upvotes and survey participant conversions if you "open source" the survey. right now you're basically asking people to support closed/private research.. and not just any people.. you're asking the open source community -- the demographic i'd suppose least likely to respond to a closed survey.

based on the current parameters my participation does not follow.

sure, that's valid. it's also valid to acknowledge that their exists within that group a sub-group of people (albeit small) who DO actually have "the right idea" that WILL actually "pay multiples over the crappy returns the S&P has over the past 10 years", but DOES require going "all in" to achieve.

on the other hand, most people are idiots.

i'd assumed you were trolling, hence the flippant response. i dont think all statements need to be supported with citations. there's a certain amount of knowledge that at some point has to be considered common sense. wiping your ass is one. not fueling your body with trash is another. i can understand your position of frustration at mis-information and pseudo-science, and appreciate a fellow critical thinker, but i do think it's important to choose your battles, and i do not think that this issue is one that's worth discussing much further, considering the overwhelming amount of data out there. vis a vis. et al. lorem ipsum.

did i just get a "citation needed" response to "junkfood is bad for you"?

it boggles the mind.

as it turns out, happy meals are, in fact, a great replacement for breast milk.

it's actually now understood that the balance of sodium to potassium in your diet is what's important, and not necessarily your sodium intake levels alone.

right. lets run a case study. go buy yourself a 50lb bag of sugar, a years supply of multivitamins, and report back in a year with how that worked out for you.
