Most people believe whatever they want to believe, and it’s a massive waste of the limited time that is life to try and change their minds. Peanut butter is best in savory applications.

This is a really important lesson to internalize (the first one). In order to change peoples' minds, they have to want to see that they're wrong. I think certain personality types are innately more disposed to the sort of introspection necessary to evaluate one's beliefs and throw out what's wrong. Really it comes down to how much you care about truth. Coming from the hard sciences, it's surprising how far you can get in this world without caring even a tiny little bit about truth in many fields, most of which involve "people" and not "things": politics, sales, marketing.

  This is a really important lesson to internalize (the first one). The second is too! I’m telling you, peanut butter is an amazing savory ingredient! You don’t have to go full Hemingway (peanut butter and onion sandwiches), but at least satay is the way. Peanut butter is especially good when it’s spicy. Plus yes, the other stuff, but I just can’t say enough about peanut butter.

    It's ironic, I actually like peanut butter a lot too and just tried making a smoothie with it yesterday, it worked very well.

    There's a type of Haitian spicy peanut butter, sold under the brand Manba in Montreal. I loved that stuff. https://manba.ca/T31jCjVS/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Box-of-6-800px.jpg https://manba.ca/T31jCjVS/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/Box-of-...

    I love peanut butter and tuna sandwiches. People always look at me like I've got a second head when I tell them about the wonders of peanut butter tuna. They don't understand for some reason. It's basically a poor mans satay tuna.
