We've had knowledge of how to eat better to not get extreme scenarios like obesity and look at the effectiveness of that. Until you have a pill that makes you think better only the motivated will do it, and in this case the motivated could already do it.
- PeterStuer 2y agoYou seem to imply the 'motivated' can not improve. I'd say the motivated often reap the rewards of innovations more so than the average, as they were pushing the boundaries in the first place. Having a dishwasher or a robot vacuum does not make me lazy. It allows me to do more productive things.
- vasco 2y agoI guess I was focusing on the most obvious cases. If a pill makes everyone skinny you'll notice much more that there's no more huge people than that skinny people's body fat went from an average of 13% to 11% or some such. I do agree the motivated have more likelihood to improve, but on a societal level I tend to think first of raising the bottom of the group. I agree with your points.
