There was an article[1] about two gene mutations which cause (a) lose fat, lose muscle, and (b) lose fat, gain muscule. If you could build a selector between these three modes (normal human, (a), (b)), you could solve HALF OF HUMANITY PROBLEMS. For real. That's not a joke. I see a lot of people around whose lifes are crippled by the fact they're not in the body mass which would be most productive/healthy for them. People are losing a decade of life and another decade of productivity due to this. A lot of interpersonal problems are also due to this, more than you can imagine. Half of world's perceived social injustice go away once you fix BMI. We do not even realize the amount of self-humiliation humanity suffers by not being able to control something so fundamental. Disclaimer: My own body weight is normal, though I would perhaps accept additional muscle; but it pains me seeing people who suffer from this every day, people who are better than me in most other respects. 1. https://davidepstein.substack.com/p/the-diy-scientist-and-the-olympian https://davidepstein.substack.com/p/the-diy-scientist-and-th...
