Linear perspective was "invented" in 1415 and codified in a 1450 book, at which point the concept started to spread but still wasn't widely understood. A lot of the paintings in this article have extremely wonky perspective a

It's a skillset that gives you a very different way of perceiving the world. I find it difficult to describe but "feeling the form" feels close to my experience while drawing. When I haven't drawn in a while and I pick u

I'm convinced that that correlation has more to do with most of society functioning on a morning-oriented schedule. Night owls are often chronically sleep deprived and prevented from working during their peak hours. Anecdotally I do kn

It took me a long time to accept that I wasn't going to grow out of my night owl tendencies (or at least I haven't yet, in my 30s). So much conventional wisdom about health, productivity, and even diet begins with "early to b

It's not that "everything's your fault" though. It's that improving your life is your own responsibility, regardless of whose fault your circumstances are, because nobody else cares as much about your life as you do

Ah so this is one of those things where neither of you were really right or wrong. If you'd grown up in New England you'd have known that the "right" behavior was to turn the shower on and warm it up before you got in. H

This is such an interesting point. When people have something to lose they turn inwards with the goal of protecting what they have. There's something to be said about how people can connect when nobody has resources to guard. Maybe thi

They say that smell is deeply linked to memory and books often have a particular smell too, whether it's from the paper or the ink or whatever. I wonder if that plays into it as well? I was going to say someone should study this but it

Could not agree more. I also find that I don't retain information that I read on a screen but I retain information from print media quite well. I've started to wonder if memory relies heavily on additional senses, like touch, and

Oh I definitely believe you on that. I haven't taken semaglutide myself but from what I've read it seems to increase satiety by slowing digestion, which is why it has nausea as a side effect, and I can't imagine that that&#x2

I don't usually plan what I'm cooking that far in advance so it's not practical for me personally and there's really not much difference between dried beans and canned unless you're buying the ones with sugar or you

I read the whole thing but I disagree with their conclusions re: processed foods. I'm more inclined to believe that processed foods promote overeating and override satiety cues in a way that adds up over time, as found in this very int

I'm very fascinated by the idea that part of the issue with ultra-processed foods is that the calories are more bioavailable due to the lack of fiber and protein.

I love that series by Slime Mold Time Mold but I don't entirely agree with their conclusions. Sure, Doritos and Twinkies existed before 1980, but anybody who's been alive since the 60s or 70s can tell you that the food environment

Hmm...must be something else in the environment then. I lost weight effortlessly while living in Europe but I always assumed that was due to being cut off from processed foods and food items with unnecessary additives. It's nearly impo

Do you often cook with ingredients like canned beans or canned diced tomatoes or premade stock? Do you buy any kind of grocery store bread, including the "fresh" stuff from the bakery section? All of these things usually contain a

It's funny hearing people debate this topic on HN where the community skews heavily male. The vast majority of women have experienced both of these states of mind and in fact do so on a monthly basis. Three weeks out of the month I get

I've had the same experience and I agree. It's deeply ingrained but it's not hardwired so it can be changed, it just requires going against the grain in almost every area of your life in order to avoid being impacted by the m

Is it?! Maybe I need to order some tomato sauce from Australia. I miss ketchup, I just want it to taste like salt/vinegar/tomato like it used to before I noticed the sugar.

I only let myself eat junk food in a situation where I'm comfortable going way overboard because it's somehow self-limiting without requiring much willpower on my part. I can't keep it in my house for regular consumption beca

Also addiction is not defined by unethical or illegal behavior - it's about continuing to do something even when you know you're harming yourself by doing it (and even when you actively want to stop). People go to great lengths fo

Maybe not for you but I find it immensely difficult (see my reply to your other comment) and I doubt I'm alone in that.

I am the opposite - my eating habits are drastically different between the two. I find it very easy to eat reasonable amounts of healthy, whole foods and stop eating when I'm full. I find it virtually impossible to self-regulate my con

Once you start eating them it's difficult to stop because they override normal satiety mechanisms. Foods like Doritos are quite literally engineered for maximum pleasure (dopamine) and minimum satiety. I'm sober now and I've

No, I don't agree. We have evidence to suggest that a large number of normal weight people have poor metabolic health, likely due to diet: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30484738/ Not sure about the drugs, partic

The first time I tried ketchup after strictly avoiding added sugars for several weeks was a WILD experience. It tasted sweeter than maple syrup. I used to douse my food in ketchup and now I can't even eat it on fries because it's

The point is that certain diets are more likely to prevent non-overweight individuals from remaining non-overweight. Example study where participants ate two different diets, one highly processed and one less processed, that were matched fo

Also there is plenty of tasty food that isn't hyperpalatable. Those foods are more difficult to overeat because they're very filling. The problem with hyperpalatable junk food is that it's both especially pleasurable to eat a

I don't think this is regressive. He's suggesting that people will gain the weight back when they go off of the drug and their appetite returns, which is a legitimate concern given that we don't know if it's safe for peo
