And the body is not part of the mind's environment?

Why is that relevant?

People aren't hungry while they're eating? I just got done eating some shrimp. I'm still hungry. You're very plainly wrong.

There is no distinction between hardware and software. We are physical beings. Are you claiming that thought has no connection to physical reality?

Also, the hunger urges that lead to obesity were adaptive in an earlier environment where food was more scarce, and not our current environment, where food is abundant.

Pychology is formed by psysiology and chemistry.

Ah, but there is evolutionary advantage to eating when food is available. For much of our evolutionary history availability of food was not certain. Those individuals who did not eat when the opportunity arose did not live very long. Our current environment of food abundance is relatively rare, historically.

Yes, but those who adapted best to their environment had a greater probability of passing their genes on to the next generation.

While I agree in general with Miller about carbs, if he really understood he'd know that kicking them isn't completely about will power. Once you're eating them regularly the biological drive to continue eating them is immense, and there is very little social reinforcement to stop. (Just the opposite, in fact.)

"At this point, I'm wondering why Kellog ever hooked up with Liber8, since he appears to be a pure capitalist shark. I guess he was just a sociopath who found Liber8 useful, but you have to wonder why they ever wanted him on the team."

This is funny. All of the reviews I've seen have been either, "I loved the first half, hated the second half" or "I hated the first half, loved the second half."

You mean solving it by having a lot of nuclear power? Yes, yes they have.

Some AI researchers think that our need to keep a mental model of other human's behavior is what led to our intelligence in the first place. So doing this with robots may just lead to them to developing sentience.

The bombing was part of the timeline because Kagame went back and sacrificed himself.

Personally I wouldn't give Soylent a try because I eat a ketogenic diet: low carb high fat. And what I find particularly annoying about the Soylent supporters is that they think there is one "perfect" and "complete" form on nutrition for everyone. In my experience, especially with eating keto and how much I have…

Cardiovascular effects have been fine, at least in my own case. My systolic has lowered from 135 to 115 for the first time since I've been recording my BP. (About 25 years.)

To make that statement you must ignore all of the links to studies in the article.

Thanks for writing this article. The science, though sparse at the moment, is compelling and I have personal experience with this diet change having benefits beyond weight loss. My systolic blood pressure has decreased from hanging around 135 to 115 in the months since eating ketogenic.

Sorry, I meant to say, "...a philosophical connection..."

I was at the Dallas screening last night and afterwards Carruth answered questions. He said he felt odd talking about the movie afterwards and I agree with his feelings in this. Both of his films have been about characters in overwhelming circumstances that end up being beyond their ability to understand or…
