True, but as we remove various forms of risks and prolong life, for sure there will be a point in the future where our 200-year-living descendants will say: why were those idiots actively, massively and collectively poisoning themselves?
- stevejb 3y agoProbably not. They’ll understand it was the best we could do at the time, just like we understand that about our ancestors.
- oblio 3y agoIn a world where a decent amount of people are teetotalers, your explanation strikes me as optimistic :-)
- stevejb 3y agoI don't understand. Are you saying it is good that people are teetotalers and that is an example of doing your best?
- oblio 3y agoYeah, since there are multiple studies that show that alcohol in any quantity is bad for you. People are (slowly) poisoning themselves as replacement for therapy or lack of a support network.
