Like I said, the halfway covenant was less than 2 generations after landing, and the character of Puritanism in America was totally different after that point.
933.
by ch4s3 2y ago
I don't disagree, but the descendants of the Puritans stopped being Puritans pretty quickly. The Halfway Covenant was only about 40 years after they landed in Plymouth and there were virtually no Puritans by 1740.

I think you can more readily and correctly connect the American distrust of institutions first to the treatment of the colonists by the British Empire, and later to immigration of people fleeing authoritarian countries. One also cannot dism

Of the 20% of US adults who don't have a level of literacy necessary to be considered "literate", 40+% are from other countries with low levels of literacy.

I think people incorrectly assume that if it had been 100% clear in 1980 that we were on a course to dramatically change the global climate that we could or would have made key technological advances earlier. I personally doubt this and thi

My point about income is that it has doubled in the same way housing prices have. If you inflation adjusted the housing prices they aren’t so out of line with median household income. If your theory about housing prices is building material

You are completely wrong though. There's a large body of work dating back decades pointing to BMR increasing with exercise. [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2204100/ [2] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.go

I don't know why anyone here has the idea that I'm arguing that exercise alone is key for weight loss. I have very clearly only claimed that all else equal increasing exertion will lead to a calorie deficit. > While you're

At a certain weight, walking is the exercise.

Sure, you get more efficient but then you can just run a little faster or find a nice hill. If that’s boring go pick up something heavy. You can endlessly switch up training to find a thing you haven’t gotten used to yet. People act like th

No one is suggesting that you can out run an increasing calorie surplus. You can however keep your diet the same and add two hours of running to your week and lose weight.

You can burn nearly 400 calories running for 30 minutes at a relatively moderate pace.

by ch4s3 2y ago
The idea that exercise doesn’t lead to fat loss is obviously false. If you’re eating a small surplus and increase your exercise volume you will lose weight. Clearly diet is a bigger lever, but plenty of exercises burn a lot of calories. Swi
