Are you some kind of remote-sensing doctor that can tell someone is "very ill" based on... probably your desire to dismiss his views. As if it had any relevance. He said that he was "back to my regular self", other than

Why is eating your tentacle useful when "stressed"? Eating your tentacle is a net negative in "calories" long term, and there is probably the opportunity cost of not having said tentacle (for some time?) I guess maybe th
