It might reflect a dehumanising perspective in people: see nice car -> suddenly attracted to driver.

Yes, although they possibly have more to lose since they can’t millionaire their way out of the consequences coming our way.

We’re already past mild inconveniences. Poeople loosing their homes, land and livelihood for years now.

There is worse than him waiting to take his place, apparently.

An osteopath is usually the best choice.

Great article. It makes so much sense.

There’s a song that I can’t remember the name of and is driving me crazy. It goes: dum da, da dum da da dum da, dum da, da dum da da dum da. Anybody know what that is?

Edit: found it. In case it sounded good to you too It’s Sail Away by Enya.

It seems to be an EU-based study. The design part of the paper doesn’t say which nationalities were studied, although maybe they mention it elsewhere in the document. I’d be interested in this because it’s very much a cultural thing. There are part of the world where vegetarian food is the norm for both men and women.
