That's true for all perks: if all firms offered the same perk, that becomes the new floor. But this does not stop companies from offering perks.

OP was the one to mention scientific research, not me. They effectively wrote "science? Policy? Ha! Prohibition was bad." Am I wrong to want to continue the discussion?

Sorry, I gleaned that from what you wrote: "even if we met every single climate target climate change is going to happen without humans anyways." You then pointed out that the sun is getting hotter, and qualified that with "l

Way too many gun control activists think that guns are the sole reason for deaths, not realizing that people are going to die regardless if we want them to or not, guns just speed it up. The speed of change is the entire problem. And if you

What is science? Can you not apply it to artifacts whose inner workings are hidden? As as aside, I was surprised at the repeated misspelling of GPT-4 and take it as a heuristic that this comment was likely written by a real human :)

Interesting, can you share any further reading? A quick Google turns up surprisingly little evidence-based guidance. For what it's worth, I found this Cleveland Clinic general-audience (non-peer-reviewed) article that concludes "t
