I did not downvote you, but I want to respond to your question instead of taking the approach of weaponizing hn votes to simply suppress perspectives I disagree with, and I'd encourage my pro-crypto friends to do the same. We have to t

I think that mindset is held by most people, most of the time. But not all people at all times. If you're in that mindset, however, the mindset itself may taint your perception of how often others are in the same mindset, which I sus

The study you linked to defines the "high fat diet" as 55 % fat/25 % saturated fat/27 % carbohydrate. Besides the fact that these figures add up to 107%, 27% of a 2000 kcal/d diet is 540 calories. At 4 calories per
