  • It’s just not the entire story. Ozempic/wegovy changes the way you feel about food.

    I used to always want to eat a lot. And if there was candy on the table within my sight, like 80% of my mental focus would be on that candy, no matter how hard I tried to focus on something else.

    Now it’s more like, meh I guess I could take a piece of candy, and then I get lost in talking and forget to actually put it in my mouth until half an hour later.

    It is definitely not just appetite suppression. I used to overeat a lot, even after feeling quite a lot of pain from beeing stuffed, I would keep eating. Now I forget to eat, if I don’t have people around me going to lunch.

    The soothing, rewarding pleasure of swallowing sugar, fat or salty food I used to need to feel good is just gone most of the time.

    To some degree it feels like I have been set free.










  • Det er en anden måde at sige at sammenhængen er så tydelig, at de er overbevist om at det er luftforurening der skader hjernen.

    Men uden faktisk at bevise biologisk hvordan specifikke stoffer skader specifikke hjernceller helt konkret, så kan statistikken aldrig bruges som et endelig bevis.

    Det er meget normalt med korrelations studier, de kan aldrig bevise en egentlig kausalitet. Men hvis korrelationen er overordentlig tydelig, og der virker logisk at sammenhængen skulle være der, så er det sandsynliggjort tilstrækkeligt til at man bør handle på det.

    Ergo, det er noget vi bør handle efter, fordi indicierne er så overbevisende.




  • Individuals choosing not to have kids should pay an extra tax that should go to the ones having children.

    Choosing not to have children is a perfecly acceptable individual choice, but the consequence is that you become a net negative for the economy.

    Taking on the burden of child-raising is an essential task that is net positive for the economy, which has been way underappreciated for too long.
