If you argue against reality, reality always wins.
My proxy for reality is good data and good science. So I have a leg up over people who use subjective opinion and unexamined assumptions, protected by cognitive dissonance, as their proxy for reality.
Subjective-type people, due to their ego and confirmation biases, are easily led around by the nose by absolutely everything. If they get something right, it's by luck.
You don't know if your health could be better. You are likely comparing yourself to people who do not eat as well. You don't know if you are optimized. You also don't know if the health of the Amish is due to working six times harder than the average person.
Reminds me of a doctor who tells someone there is no cure, when he should be saying "I know of no cure." He makes the mistake of thinking that he knows everything, and that medicine knows everything, and no one anywhere could possibly know any better. Such ignorance results in arrogance. These people do not learn, progress, grow, adapt, or evolve.
You guys should get Monster Trucks and settle it in the Arena!

Again I am on an Amish Organic Farm, eating as well as i ever could.
The health of the farm, the family, its employees and customers just submarines your b/s
Would you like to come for a tour?
