Add set of people with office jobs that regularly lift.

I am pretty sure this is an excellent example of "perfect is the enemy of good".

Sometimes you just have to get shit done and compromises are necessary. Again, alignment is not necessarily about lining things up perfectly.

I mean, if someone really wants you dead you're as good as dead. That's just Joe Shmo able to walk down to a Sporting Goods store and buy a gun.

Almost like, anything that is handled by the inhuman money sucking parasites that caused the mess that is our irreversibly corrupt and cancerous system turns out to also be, corrupt and and actually cause cancer. 'BUT THEY SAID THE GOOD THING' ok yeah thats called marketing, and NPC like to believe it cos its easier.

Causation is a difficult thing for even humans to comprehend. If it wasn't such a challenge we would have a whole lot less confusion and debate on many many things.

We don't really know since it's never happened yet since we invented electricity.

It's most likely not going to be that big a deal.

Maybe shut down flights for a few days/weeks? Maybe some minor temporary issues with satellites.

The next big solar flare, now that's going to cause some problems. The one in 1859 would shut down half the globe if it happened now.

I didn't say that I agree this might go wrong. It's mentioned in the article that it's not even a guarantee that supplementing iron would solve the issue. All of these solutions are still being developed but the facts remain that the trend is not promising.

Have a read of 'The Adam and Eve Story' by Chan Thomas if you want.

Just stop burning shit. All of these things are half-measures. Stop trying to “fix” dirty combustion and instead go to solutions that don’t need dirty combustion. Solar, wind, nuclear, geo, hydro, battery power, and hydrogen are all going to be exponentially better than swapping the fuel.

The only thing that is affected is that the magnetic North and geographic North will not align anymore, so a magnetic compass will not be as useful anymore, as direction of the North will depend on geographic location. There is no effect on the Earth rotation or any other physical effects.

I don't think there will be serious day-to-day effects, most navigational systems use some version of GPS, which aligns through satellites rather than magnetic compass. Weakening of the magnetic field itself may be harmful as it protects the surface of the Earth from charged particles coming from the Sun, such as those created by solar eruptions. These can sometimes disrupt electrical systems on the surface, but their magnitude is rarely sufficient to cause real concern.

There are thousands of pole shifts through history and nothing bad happened. I don't think it's something to be really concerned about.

They basically say we're the ones who lowered the iron level. You don't think that might go wrong?

I use trolly problems as an example because it’s un-nuanced, straightforward, and still yields huge differences in supposedly objective systems of ethics. If objective systems can’t agree on something as basic as that - whether the scenario is common in real life or not - how are we supposed to find objectively ethical solutions for even the most slightly nuanced questions in the world?

Even your “we should all agree sexually abusing children is bad” has issues with it. On the surface, yeah no duh people shouldn’t sexually abuse children, but start digging even a little bit and you start to see cracks in the statement. What constitutes a “child”? What constitutes “abuse”? Ancient Greek philosophers had sex with young boys as young as 13 on the regular and thought it was ethical as long as both consented. Was that child abuse? Age of consent in Germany is 14 - in parts of Japan it’s 20. Whose legal framework is correct and why?

If the basis of your ethics is “legal consensus” you’re going to have a hell of a time trying to consolidate a global ethical framework.

What if you loaf a lot at work but run to the office and lift regularly? You could always sew on an extra pair of nuts when you get too old. The study may be great but this is article is vague and dum.

No reason it can't be both? People with a higher testosterone baseline might feel dissatisfied more quickly by a sedentary job that lowers their testosterone levels.

Hopefully if crispr becomes mainstream or easily accessible, it won't matter that much. I'll be banking my sperm at the age of 35, in the event that my future 50 year old self may have dna-damaged sperm or something sue to age as some allege. Then, crispr can iron out the details.

Why does anyone insist on believing in worm holes? Like we're really living in some silly space exploration game? You fly a spacecraft into a cosmic lens like that and it gets crushed down to the size of an atom and everyone dies a gruesome death. I'm sorry I love space, but it's just not a convenient place.
