Who are you, to preside as an authority to chastise and admonish?
> Does anyone without the unique tools of IQ and GDP think that lead poisoning is good for a country?
Pretty obvious that nutrition and food are powerful forces for intellect, and the aggregation of powerful intellect at scale is a powerful economy. Regardless of jargon, a well-fed, unpoisoned populace thinks cleary.
- coldtea 12y ago>Who are you, to preside as an authority to chastise and admonish? I'm a commenter on Hacker News. Who said that only some higher "presiding authority" has the right to "chastise and admonish" rude behavior and name-calling on HN and the internet in general? >Pretty obvious that nutrition and food are powerful forces for intellect, and the aggregation of powerful intellect at scale is a powerful economy. Regardless of jargon, a well-fed, unpoisoned populace thinks cleary. Pretty obvious to me that there are far more obvious reasons for wanting a well-fed, non-poisoned populace that to get "a powerful intellect" and a "powerful economy". Basic humanism and compassion for one.
