My argument is that challenging yourself is healthy, and that applies to both physical and mental activities. I suspect the difference may lie in what we consider "good health". Being challenging also doesn't imply an activit

A negative externality is the cost borne by parties unrelated to the transaction. In this debate, that party is the environment. I'm confused by your usage of the term. According to your argument, buying organic food is worse for the e
