  • I think it could be dangerous given the limited scientific literacy of the general public.

    I can imagine a slew of issues where people treat it like fat/calories and assume lower is “better”, or where other people think it’s like a vitamin and high is “better”.

    I think 95% of people wouldn’t look, but that last 5% would be a mix of people that use it to their benefit as you suggest and people that misuse it as I cynically assume.











  • Oh, he 100% is. Not what he says with his words, but what he says with his dead eyes and propped up smile. He’s not chasing a dream, he’s running away from a nightmare of fame that has left him a hollow yet addicted for the high of fame that is no longer achievable. He is a man who shot for the moon and, instead of landing among the stars, found himself stranded on the cold, lifeless rock, drifting along forever, alone, exactly where he said he wanted to be.

    I don’t like the idea of polyamory. It feels wrong to me. But when it’s consenting adults (or parties of mutual age in teens), there’s no argument against it.

    That’s a big problem with people: not being able to reconcile their feelings with rationality. My feelings are irrelevant to how other people conduct their lives when it doesn’t affect anyone else. I think that’s a key component in having an open mind: to challenge your own feelings, to say, “I don’t like it, and that feeling is objectively wrong. I need to actively check my behavior so I don’t impose that feeling on others.”

    It’s fine to have those feelings and good to acknowledge them, but you still have to think it all the way through.
