Flour is used to make food not stick to cooking and preparation surfaces, therefore lots of raw flour is eaten intentionally on the outside of baked goods (bread, pizzas etc).

The thing is they dont care about you anymore. They have moved firmly into the SME market which is why they are making decisions which dont really affect company purchase policies, but really upset personal users.

Sorry I dont agree with this analysis. There is no need to try to read between the lines of Socrates intentions here when there is very specific passages which state them: > And so the man proposes the penalty of death. > So I propose

Can you please point me to the text where Socrates chooses death over exhile? I have read Apology of Socrates in its entirety[0] and a few text analysis and I can find no evidence of this. It seems to me that Socrates suggested a fine[1],

Sorry I meant generally pre the last period of the 20th century, not the actual hard end. IMO you are right in saying it began in the 80s.

I really like the positivity of your post. This is an attitude I hope more of us (myself included) can adopt going forward in the world of tech we are creating around us.

Yes I like the idea that we need to go back about 50 years to really see the root of this. IMO it is visual media in general which is causing these issues (TV/Games/Social Media) which started probably in the 70s.

I see your point, but I dont agree with your metaphors at all. Governments around thwe world have had to tax sugary products to save people from themselves. You make it sound like there isnt currently an obesity epidemic because adults know

You are correct, we had social media 20 years ago. What we did not have was advertising revenue based addiction generating algorithms manipulating the minds of the entire worlds population.
