Not alcohol consumption, necessarily. The benefit is cited most ofter for red wine specifically, which indicates the active ingredient is something else. 10 000 years of recorded human experience only tells you that minimal alcohol consum

The (mostly) factual world is a tough place to live in. No convenient simplistic arguments that everyone can understand, for starters.

> American voting is under-informed and has low turn out, but at least the few percentage of electorate that vote actually care. I think politics among the US electorate is exactly analogous to bikeshed discussions on a mailing list.

Your induction bureaucracy might take half an hour. The process hopefully takes a bit longer, a week or so.

The effects of LSD, the substance, certainly have. The substance itself does not cause an "overdose" and the same is true of cannabis (at least for any ingestible amount), but it would be disingenuous to claim they have not caused deaths.

Interesting! How much do you exercise in general? Carbs obviously pack a lot of calories and I have empirically observed that in mostly sedentary people cutting carbs seems generally more effective than dropping fat intake (hence the succ

Sure, many non-technical founders can pick up enough to put together some kind of a prototype. Some will not be able to, simply lacking the disposition. No harm trying if it does not detract from other necessary tasks.
