Modern medicine, big Pharma and meat based diets are orthogonal to each other. Modern medicine has saved hundreds of millions of lives, while alternative medicine is leading people astray and ruining lives every day.
Sorry for the harsh words, but I've seen the damage, and I am tired of how alternative medicine is handled with silk gloves and shown infinite respect, in the name of being open minded.
- good_vibes 10y agoA, you're wrong. Diet, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals are very interconnected. Also, adding pollution and climate change in there as well when you count land/water use and greenhouse gases produced by factory farming. Add advertising and lobbying in there as well, it's so effective you still think you're right. B, the original comment was focused on taking what works from both and leaving the rest behind. You're making the same mistake as a billion other people...clinging to the paradigm you are currently in thinking there is nothing beyond it. C, I'm tired of people thinking they are smart because they used the word 'orthogonal' and say things like 'sorry for the harsh words bro', which doesn't apply in this context and this is a pretty typical reddit/HN thread. Do you have any original insights into any of this or are you just gonna drop more vocab words and 'harsh words'?
