    So, the real elephant in the room is that for the average worker, they are more productive (ie, working much harder) and under much, much more financial stress… which effects epigenetics

    and… people are having children later in life, leading to children with more genetic defects (the average person has about 7 genetic defects, some people have more, some fewer)

    in the 1950s, a man could work at a factory with a high school diploma, own a house, support a family, and have a wife as a full-time assistant at home

    now both parents have to work, if there even are children, there may or may not be a house, and many are just single. people are under huge amounts of stress, and all of it effects epigenetics including via weaker bonds within families

    bodies interpret stress as either “uh oh, i’m going to get kicked out of my tribe and will have to forage and hunt on my own and may die” or “there may be a famine soon”

    the fact that the vitamin levels of food has gone down is a real thing, bodies remember things like that, and can be aware of the decrease, and start to prepare for famines

    TLDR captialism without proper government regulation of externalities is making people fat along with higher populations and decreased vitamin levels in food due to over-farming

      A comment on lemmy. Never need to read it, it will always have the same conclusion “capitalism bad”. No matter the topic.

      TL;DR of lemmy: capitalism bad, now you don’t need to open the app at all.

        Or you could read the full statement: “Capitalism without proper government regulation.” But that’s a lot of words, I get it.

          To be honest I’m getting tired of electing people who promise to provide those rules only to watch the Capitalists get the green light to exploit us further.

            That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

            He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

            He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

              That’s opening Pandora’s box. We could end up with a White Christian Ethnostate as easily as we could get an Oligarchy or Market Socialism.

      Let me guess… These people with fewer genetic defects are superior?
