I heard him on a podcast recently. He didn't seem to be pushing Monsanto. Can you please point me to where he does this? I would be rather put off. I hate mono cropping and pretty much everything Monsanto.

It's not about an Oracle. It's that the mentioning of a topic prior to some conclusion generating observation has practically never generated replicable results. Still, these studies make news all the time because they're eas

Blam, that's the podcast I was thinking about, but wow, great digging!

Unfortunately, no. It was a theory put forth by a researcher on a podcast. It makes complete sense to me, but I don't know how you'd even design an experiment for this. Maybe continues glucose monitoring along with identical diets

Yeah, it's definitely possible too. Could be that it affects digestive glycemic index.

Governmental health bodies are very behind on this topic. They used to even claim fasting was terribly unhealthy.

Yes, your body is then running on fat via ketones. I once did a 6 mile hike in (and up) weekend camping trip with just some salt for electrolytes and a pack of hotdogs.

There's a theory that the difference you're seeing is insulin tolerance. In your case, you're fat cells listen to the insulin and you gain weight. In your wife's case, her blood sugar probably runs higher as her fat cell

I do not believe I'm immune to disinformation. This is why I don't think it makes sense for a majority to control a minority or vice versa.

> fact that half the population is dumber than dirt I think you're going a little far there, and the fact that you're using this to justify censorship is pretty ugly.

I have a feeling that even in North America, schooling is just a way to dumb down the public and is essentially anti-revolutionary legislation despite being positioned as a measure to improve education of the populace. Not /s btw, comp

Just read the original paper. This synopsis mostly just reiterates what the original paper says and concurs. I personally don't think we're going to see any collapse as drastic as the models predict. People have been predicting co

Yeah, I knew this was a cheap post. From my post below though... systems thinking and computer models have led to predictions of collapse only slightly more convincing than religious fanatics. Humans are highly adaptable and the power of th

I'm not ignoring it anyway. I do think that monocropping and the like do pose a potential for a collapse. That said systems thinking and computer models have led to predictions of collapse only slightly more convincing than religious f

Nuclear plants produce stable energy unlike solar and wind, and can also be used for desalination. There are a number of benefits to nuclear that make it desirable beyond what solar and wind can do. That said, in an effort to become more se

I'm not sure it's to feel smart or make a facetious argument, but yeah wow. This article is about government coercion--not Twitter moderation. According to the article, the US is the number two requestor of takedowns today.
