If the options are between being me with some help from hundreds of thousands of scientists with the backing of society, or being froghorse. I’ll choose the former.
It’s insane takes like this that make the least capable of us doubt getting help.
Do you eat food? Do you drive over bridges? Do you go to the hospital to get your bones set? Use electricity to heat or cool your home? Fortified food so you don’t die from goiter or scurvy?
Congrats, you’re relying on completely unnatural things to help you get through life easier. There is ZERO difference between the former and medications. Entire industries are built around them.
Unfortunately, people like froghorse are nothing new and they probably won’t be going anywhere. They are the manifestation of societal ennui and lack of empathy. They prefer their false reality over the one we’re forced to share with them.
The relevant medical science is obscured behind a veil of esoterica and complexity
Just because you cannot understand something does not make it false lmfao.
Complex things are complex. Some of them cannot be dumbed down. It’s the entire, literal point, to civilization. Specialization.
And of all the things you want to complain about not knowing, is medications? So many of the metabolic pathways are heavily described and detailed. Very little of it requires intricate knowledge of biomechanica or biochemistry.
The rest of it is LITERALLY missing link versions of what people classically know about evolution. We know
A >>>> G
That doesn’t mean magic happens between B, C, D, E, and F. It means biology is fucking stupid because evolution at it’s core is based on entropy lol. It takes forever to learn why and what stupid mechanics do what.

I’d say there’s a big difference.
The relevant medical science is obscured behind a veil of esoterica and complexity (not to mention patent law). That other stuff, not so much.
Thus in the case of the former we are forced to rely upon an inscrutable priesthood.
Whereas the latter, not so much.

Wow, good point
Thanks.
