Jordan Peterson šŸ vs CH4

I donā€™t hate.

I just have integrity and those professions donā€™t have it.

Youā€™re being inauthentic. You donā€™t speak with a truthful voiceā€¦ You have forgotten the face of your father.

Iā€™ve always carried an expectation of equality and fairness and when professions sink to the lows that journalism and teaching have, I will as much. The people deserve better than being lied to and treated as fools.

Whoā€™s setting the bar, you?

Whoever sets it, journalists and teachers are experts at lowering it.

Ah lads

No! Youā€™re a scumbag.

Iā€™ve heard of her before. Before JPā€™s breakdown sheā€™d been rising to prominence on the back of his fame, pushing her meat only diet. Malarkey might be right that she canā€™t be following it that seriously because I remember at the time reading an article with an expert saying that if she was serious about it she would start to encounter serious health problems in a few years, which should be round about now.

You can be sure thereā€™s plenty of precedent for it and against it. Not all meat is created equally, thereā€™s some evidence that eating organic grass fed beef has the nutritional profile as a varied diet

Does the daughterā€™s exploits have anything to do with JPs writing?

No idea

I donā€™t think so.

I mean, very few Christians behave like Christians so do we discredit the Bible here or the individuals?

As chance would have it Iā€™ve been learning a little bit about our hunter-gatherer past and why we developed agriculture.

Humanity has spent 95% of its existence as hunter-gatherers and only 5% as farmers. Remarkably the prehistoric hunter-gatherers were much taller than the later farmers and itā€™s only in the past 100 years or so that weā€™ve started to catch up to the height of our hunter-gatherer ancestors.

However, hunter-gatherers did not eat only meat. The men went hunting and the women did the gathering. They probably spent all day at it. The gathered part still constituted a vital part of the diet, although whether it was more or less than half the total diet would depend on the circumstances.

Agriculture developed in the Indus Valley when the Earth was unexpectedly plunged into a major cold snap about 12,000 years ago called the Younger Dryas. Before the Younger Dryas the ladies in the Indus Valley had been gathering nuts from trees and those made up much of the diet. The cold snap killed those trees but in the middle of the crisis one gatherer, presumably a lady, got the idea of making up for that shortfall by planting grains. So the first farmer was almost certainly a woman.

The point is though that meat alone couldnā€™t make up for the decreased foraging during the cold climate. We need more than that.

Also, fruit might be better for us than vegetables. Weā€™ve been gathering and eating fruit for probably 100,000s of years longer than vegetables, which is why we donā€™t need to cook fruit.

I think on TFK we discredit them both.

Thatā€™s a serious load of cod.

Being outed as a racist has been a bitter pill to swallow.

Iā€™ve been thinking about this great post of mine. Maybe I should create a new diet based on the communities of the Indus Valley before the Younger Dryas.
