        we’re talking about people dude. we are not talking about scientific principles.

        people claim want to be healthy and then engage in unhealthy behaviors. they are unhealthy. what they do is what defines them, not what they desire to be.

          Yes we are talking about people. People can be held accountable for their actions and people can change their ways if they make mistakes. You’re saying that people cannot change. If they bought a tesla, they’re nazis, so fuck them.

      You can choose and change what you do.

      You can’t choose or change what you are.

      If you get confused about do / be just refer back to those rules and you’ll know which one applies.
