  • If you want to reduce intergenerational conflict, it helps to acknowledge the pain and how society has failed the less privileged.

    As a millenial, you likely had a fairly normal childhood, a privelege many GenZ did not, due to COVID.

    Obviously this isn’t your fault, and older generations have privelege you don’t have. If we want to advance class interests we need to be intersectional, and acknowledge the unique problems that affect some groups more than others.

    You’re seeing the consequences of young people growing up during COVID. It is very, very difficult to unlearn what we were socialized for in our youth.

    For most people who experience this, it literally is too late to change their ways. It’s possible but requires extreme effort and likely years of therapy.

    There’s no amount of well meaning aphorisms older generations can pull out to make this better. It is a public mental health crisis and needs to be treated as such, not treated as individual failure.





  • Without doxing myself, I have expertise in this topic. It’s not a matter of my world view, it’s a matter of science and communication.

    It is very unlikely that human adiposity leads to increased cancer risk directly. It is correlational, not causational. Human adiposity itself, isolated from compounding factors, has a complex relationship with health outcomes, and not at all the linear correlation where more fat = more bad that the mainstream likes to pretend.

    We know that certain foods, particularly animal products, especially cheaper animal products, lead to cancers, heart disease, etc. This is most likely explanation for the results in this study. But yet again we have yet another study uselessly pointing out a correlation which is unhelpful for actually solving public health issues and continues to encourage the passing of the blame to those in society who have the least responsibility for their situation.
