  • Take a bag, fill it with water, and grip it loosely at the top so all your fingers wrap around like a loose fist.

    Now, without turning the bag, use your other hand to empty it by squeezing out the water.

    You get most of it out, but there’s still some in there, even if you squeeze violently and it seems like nothing else can come out.

    Also, for most of human history, if you’ve poisoned yourself ingesting something, chances are the next thing you’re ingesting is still poisoned. It’s only recently we’ve worked out distilled poison and purified water. So, biologically speaking, better to just be sick for a day so you can get to a different water/food source.









  • Humans have hit living things with sticks and rocks since we learned it hurts them more than us. You can’t blame patriarchy or the media for that.

    Hate and fear are inherent to people. But that’s like how we have an inherent appetite for sugar, fat, and salt.

    Love is like exercise. Sometimes kids want to do nothing, sometimes all they want to do it run around. They need to learn that it is good for them and ultimately makes them feel good. Some do on their own, some need to be taught, and some don’t learn it and make a point to avoid it. And the longer you go without doing it, the harder it is to start again.

    We built societies and civilizations on the very idea of being greater than our nature.







  • And that’s exactly why we should be talking about banning HFCS content.

    You know chlorine gas is bad, and that’s just a risk you think people should be allowed to take. But you clearly don’t fully understand just what chlorine gas is or what it does to your body. And that notion that a the ‘risk’ part of ‘health risk’ diminishes its severity is like believing the ‘thoery’ part of gravitational theory means we shouldn’t take that seriously.
