New diet villain just dropped. Believe or disbelieve this specific one, "fat" or even "polyunsaturated fat" increasingly looks like a failure as a natural category. Only finer-grained concepts like "linoleic acid" are useful for carving reality at the joints.
@sailor_sega_saturn@TinyTimmyTokyo My BIL seems to believe that if we invent immortality it will immediately usher in utopia where everyone lives forever. I said no way, even if turns out the secret is a pill that costs ME 5c to manufacture, it’s going to cost YOU everything you earn forever to BUY. True immortality will simply amplify existing inequality a billion percent.

@Salty @sailor_sega_saturn @TinyTimmyTokyo Right up until the secret gets liberated and one gets buried in concrete for trying to hide it, anyway.
No guarantees of any utopia anyway though.
