The government through their puppets at the NIH, FDA and CDC don't want you to know this.
You don't need to "eat certain foods" to protect your teeth and gums, horseshit propagated by the agricultural lobby.
There's one-magic-trick: Fluoride.
Get it while it's legal to import.

Just landed in London, if you:
a) loosely know me in the online world
b) live here
c) want to hang out
Ping me (email preferred)

Turns out open internet, free speech and access to information is an engine for democracy.
But asymmetrically armed loyalist military with disdain for the population and obedience to the leader kinda trumps that (heh)
The dystopian memes are peak though.

They didn't have much in the way of theories, they just did stuff.
And by-en-large we are no better at genetic engineering or breeding than they were, in spite of the breadth of theories we have.
The Romans were considerably worse, in spite of the theories they held.
Why?

The best genetic engineers were various South American civilizations.
They arguably got to the population size they got on gene-tech alone.
Selectively irradiating crops for variations, experimenting with soil biome, carefully control seed collection.

Not really.
They had some ability to breed animals, as well as graft and select plants.
But the farmers (read: proto bioengineers) doing this were by-en-large Lamarckism who believed nature, without man's guidance, to be random.

Greek and Romans understood physics and biology much like we did.
Romans had religious metaphysics that explained natural selection and evolution, similar to Alfred R W & Darwin's theories.
See: De rerum natura
Were they good biologists ?

There's something like "religious metaphysics" that people create when a phenomenon seems 2/3:
a. Scary
b. Important
c. Strange
What are good examples of religious metaphysics ?

I for one am on the fence, but then again, I'm poor, I don't have entire star systems of delighted worshipers to funnel pleasure from.
Then again, that just strikes me as kinda excessive and it bad taste, where does the extravagance end?

It's the year 4000 and a species of delighted and joyous humans have colonized the stars.
They flutter between worlds, their laughter echoing across the cosmos, their joy boundless and pure.
Now, one might say, what's the purpose of keeping all of these humans around?

I think it boils down to trickle-down obfuscation:

But a mediocre programmer will charge you a fair bit to build a simple phone app.
That’s not because mediocre programmers are harder to find than geniuses, but because the former activities are all fun, while the latter can be quite boring.
W does the market tolerate it ?

Essentially all views I held at age 21 are, in hindsight, comically wrong.
But there's one belief that was both true and pivotal to how I built my understanding of the world:

Even if we managed to double the progress of 10,000 years:
• Less than a dozen humans would make it to 120
• None would make it to 130.
This is the exponential effect aging has upon death.
No sleep pattern or supplement or surgery changes it.

Linux fails gracefully. Seldom causing a crash, almost never causing invisible bugs or data corruption.
A similar approach was taken with Facebook, WhatsApp, Bitcoin and Notion.
More importantly, with GCC, LLVM and even with software powering rockets and nuclear power plants.

Unit testing is one of the most damaging practices in software development.
It's a crutch for faulty thinking and lack of understanding.
Why are there no standardized testing practices in the world's most complex piece of software?
