I don't understand the hate.

The guy is experimenting on himself to see how he can improve his health. What is wrong with that?

People eating junk like chips and coke getting triggered because I guy wants to better himself: humans, truly I tell you.

He states it clearly in the article: because many women will use the law against to you try an extort money from you. It's well known that the court is heavily biased towards women in any "man vs women" case.

House and food should be treated completely differently then other non-essential goods like entertainment and electronics.

Destroy housing -> destroy people's future and family creation.

Air b&b is cancer for people trying to start families as it destroys all local affordable housing.

This guy has everything backwards: he doesn't realize it's his insane long wageslave work hours that are the problem, not those extra 3 hours.

Was the Mac team in charge of this again?

We are developers, not mobile casual users: I want the most tools in the smallest amount of space.

I don't wan't 500 pixels of damn padding between menu items.

If the gov't will be in charge of it then it will be shit as all government services are in general.

If there is no profit in it for someone the platform won't improve.

It's the classic "the capitalist owns a restaurant vs the people own a restaurant, but which has better food".

Since mice are not humans the gender of the mice might be irrelevant.

So much nutritional studies have been done on animals and yet we know that different animals react totaly different to eg saturated fats and atherosclerosis.

Animals are a garbage proxy for anything human related.

(Skimmed it quickly)

>> We conclude with recommendations that professional societies in mathematics should sponsor an (international) code of ethics, institutional mission statements for mathematicians and syllabuses for incorporation into mathematics degrees.

Gotta put that subjectivity in mathematics.

Mathematics, as the purest of sciences, cannot have ethics in it. Ethics are a human invention: the laws of the universe have no ethics. They simple "are".

"Put ethics in math" is a veiled way of saying "we will regulate what math is acceptable for you to do and what not".

And since this is an oath this implies you WILL BE PUNISHED FOR BREAKING IT. No more truth, just subjectivity.

The year is 2045: you need to obtain a permission from the European Union Mathematics Ethics Comittee before you are allowed to execute a vector cross product on your CPU in your own code.

Also: medical doctors take the oats. But then the pharma drug rep comes along...

>> Similary cramming meat down our gullets morning day and night is a recent change too.

If we were hunter gatherers who hunted megafauna then we ate TONS of meat in the past, so this is not a difference.

And there are also cultures who do fine without veggies, the Inuit.

OP here. You are free to feed your children with this new experimental food that has never been consumed at any point of human evolution on this planet.

The last time we tried this expriment with novel new foods 10% of USA got diabetes.

Do tell me how your children will end up in 20 years of this kind of food.

Comparing to what? Is capitalism perfect? No.

But compared to the communistic forms of socialism? Do look at what shitshow of living and totalitarian condition were in Yugoslavia, USSR, China under Mao etc...

There is also conflation of "bankers hold all the money" as if that is a thing exclusive to capitalism. Look at communist contries: the leaders ARE RICH! Josip Broz Tito, Mao etc...all communist leaders were rich! It's the same thing: Joe Sixpack didn't own much neither in communism nor capitalism.

But in capitalism you the best of the best atleast have a chance to get somewhere by their own above average ability.

The problem is corruption in capitalism.

Or can we go deeper: the problem is human nature?

If so, is this even solvable?
