His arguments are bullshit and i know.first of all opium tea is NOT a mild narcotic and a guarantee that a nice cage with toys does not make the rats go for wather instead of morphine😂. He also used to grow cannabis in his teens.. I bet he is an addict.😉
"Let's look at the condition of our cages" This is a very profound statement. What is the environment we are stuck in? Now 58 years old: Coming out of a childhood of emotional abuse and trauma and emotional neglect into an emotionally abusive and emotionally neglected marriage to a 10 year lull and into a narcissistic marriage of emotional abuse and trauma, seeking to overcome the PTSD, CPTSD, CEN, anxiety, depression, etc., I have found myself seeking ways of escaping the pain and demons that haunt me but have refused to turn to "drugs" but have been looking more and more at natural growing medicines for relief but concerned about the stigma and legal ramifications surrounding them.
Grateful to have found this guy. I quit sugar for a year and it changed my life. Since reintroducing it, I've gained 30 pounds. I'm ready to quit again. One bite and you slip and spiral, so hopefully this is the last time I'll eat the poison.
I kinda hate the fact that Chris calls the people who developed taditional foods "scientists". We have this fetishization of scientists as if they're the smart and good ones, when we have all the evidence that scientists were the ones who corrupted the food supply. What's wrong with being a mother? What's wrong with being a wife? What's wrong with being someone who cares about your family first and foremost? These people did so much for their families, with love and care and SOUL, something that scientists everywhere like to forget. Chris said it himself - you can't be a 'food scientist' and care about health over profit. Science is cold, clinical, concerned with numbers. Science doesn't deal with emotions. You can take the scientific fact that arsenic is toxic and use that knowledge to save lives or to kill people. Everything that is about love, care, community, etc. is not at all scientific, and that's a GOOD thing. Calling those women who cared for their families "scientists"... frankly, I see it as an insult.
I immediately thought of the the twin TV doctor "Chris" when you mentioned cold water.....overcoming depression.... great episode and highly encouraging for a simple solution to this epidemic. Much love. And well done for living out your Hippocratic oath and of course doing service to humanity ❤🎉
Ah ha. I just watched “What is a mind? - with Philip Ball” and I thought this might be where Ball was coming from. The objective evidence supports determinism. There is no free will just because you feel like there ought to be.
Sure particles follow rules and that's fine when you have one or two of them bouncing around a box but what happens when you have trillions of them? What can we predict about complex systems as a whole? I've heard different ideas like Wolfram's computational irreducibility or Philip Ball talking about causal spreading and causal emergence in biology to think this is still an open question. Complexity theory is new. So is information theory. What is the causal role of information and memory in the universe? Don't know. It could be the case that genuine causality is coming in at higher levels in complex systems. If you think about why minds evolved at all, the only answer that makes sense to me is because the mechanical look up table afforded to prokaryotes wasn't sufficient once you had multicellular life needing to navigate a complex environment. You need a neural net that can model reality and process information to help with decision making. Why bother with minds if they don't do anything? What does a physicist mean by the word cause? A lot of them say time is not understood and most of them say time is not fundamental. How does one thing cause another without time? Surely until we know how time works discussions about what causes what in the universe are open? For me there are too many open questions for determinism to undermine free will.
@@Sam-we7zj The wishful thinking of a typical believer in free will. Just hoping free will, will be revealed in what they do not know. You cannot measure it. You do not know when you are exercising it. You are like the climate change denier demanding 100% proof that anthropogenic climate change is happening. The objective evidence overwhelmingly supports determinism. Free will only has subjective intuition. (If free will did exist it would be so limited as to be not worth having). Free will does not exist
This is wrong, you have to criticise the people. British food culture and seeing food as a function and not a social interaction is wrong. So don’t pretend to sugar coat it. This country doesn’t want to know that food is more than a function and yes children need to learn from their parents to cook. Cook yes. And not sandwich with crisps! You go to any supermarket and look at what people buy. It’s garbage.
Excellent point about the relative spending on food and other things, like cars. Until the 1960s food was not cheap. People ate chicken as a great etc? What you eat determines your overall health, so it is worth spending as much as you can on it.
I have inflammation in my both hands fingers. It started when I was 13, now I'm 39. I'm in good shape, no overweight but my fingers are very thick, and time after time my rings are too small for me. I don't have rheumatoid arthritis but my last diagnosis is mild arthritis. Joints aren't dislocated. I would love to take a cold shower every day and swim in the ocean year round. Should I try it or is it bad idea and I should avoid cold water at all? Thank you
So glad I gave up sodas long ago. So glad I don't use artificial sweeteners. So glad I gave up seed oils. So glad I don't eat "fast food." Rarely eat out. I've heard that ultra-processed food is "pre-digested" food.
When you have a social animal , using fire ,creating tools , sewing clothing , collectively hunting and passing this culture on , you have the imaginative mind at work. All of these features do not exhaust the limits of a creative faculty. Extra-survival activities have to absorb the creative instinct as it does not shut off and render the slack jaw entity. And free range imagination will create so called non-survival artifacts and activities that accumulate to formalism and ritual. And then some narcissistic ego driven genius will locally codify these to something like religion and the consequent power base. That Edenic apple makes high percentage ABV cider. And to flog this hypothetic horse to death , it collapses and then starts all over again. As for burial or consumption as means of sympathetic and memorial continuation of a strong bond , well , nomadic cultures can't afford to lug whole rotting corpses around.
I bet if we saw how the UPFs are made. Nobody would wanna eat it. It’s literally lab developed, industrial created substance that taste and look like food.
