OK, well, I am going to speak my mind again... I think Bret's words (old standard stuff really) are a lot of gibberish about things we can't see and cannot know scientifically. These are piles of cartoons accumulated by scientists doing crude measurements, building careers. I would say that we should get back to basics: mortality, incidence of disease (poor health), conditions imposed on individuals, harmful treatments, exploitation, dominance... The body and its organ systems are too complex to be reduced to a sequence involving select molecular reactions and specific cellular attacks. We understand much about biological stress from a systems perspective and they want us to adopt recipes and stories about molecules instead. Consider reading this, to open new doors: https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202412.0480/v1 Don't get trapped repeating and spinning stories rather than going to basics and thinking grounded in hard facts. Do not let yourself become educated away from common sense. https://bird.makeup/@newstart_2024/1866860447141351664
