Look what I found today. Haha. I read this post yesterday and today this is what shows up in YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ZfGc0Z9MybA [Vegan for 4 yrs dies of starvation]

I can tell you, you're absolutely correct about needing to have meat in the diet. Many years ago I went from being a vegetarian for a year, to being a vegan for a year...I didn't even eat honey because it came from bees. What happened was I got too slender and my skin was white like I had anemia. I also began feeling very depressed and didn't feel like it was worth living. So I was moving in that direction of eating less and less because what's the use. Thankfully I had a friend at that time who came in with beef stirfry. He opened the take-out box and said, you have to eat this. I could smell the urine in the meat, but I thought, well, if I don't, I'm going to die...so, I ate, and everything changed. I went back to regularly eating meat and I've been healthy ever since. Hahaha. Seriously. We have to take these things seriously. The evidence is everywhere.

Incredible read, all of this series. I’m at awe at how you manage to create new insight, “content”, writing.. well, knowledge, in any medium you delve into, Laura. Even the modern, obfuscated and very confusing landscape of humans attempting to broach AI.

Grok (at least this branch of it teased out by you) strikes me as having or reflecting some of Elon Musk’s naivety, esp when talking about how AI can help the resistance (global AI facilitated VR meditation and STO practices and all, made me chuckle). It’s endearing.
