I’m upvoting you not because I’m a fan of Huberman. I listened to half an episode and it didn’t grab me. I’m upvoting because you’re asking sincere questions and so far (only 2 responses) you haven’t gotten an answer.

I thought Sabra was a nickname for an Israeli person?

They only want to blow up the children they’re aiming at.

You don’t know the circumstances under which she had kids. I understand your point that they didn’t ask to be born, but if that’s the case are they just going to be bitter freeloaders to punish her?

I can understand your point given the state of things, but I think the point always deserves a caveat, which is that the parasitism and destruction isn’t equally distributed. The majority of people on earth consume at a relatively sustainable rate, and there’s no reason they deserve to be wiped out. Unfortunately they’re increasingly forced to rely on the destructive minority for their basic needs.

Also not saying whether it’s true or not, but I have a similar reaction to imagery like headless babies, human shields, heads on spikes, etc.

Tangentially related: I read somewhere that Mexico doesn’t invest much in cutting-edge military technology, because their geographic location means they would easily overpower South America, or easily be overpowered by the US. Or maybe that’s not very much related at all…

While I believe all drugs would be safer if they were legalized and regulated, I think your criteria for what constitutes a drug are arbitrary. MDMA has the potential to heal trauma, but it also has the potential to make people do or say things they regret later. Likewise, meth and heroin have a high potential for personal harm, but some people are able to use them safely for long periods of time. I don’t think it’s useful to debate what is and isn’t a drug.

UBI wouldn’t aim to get rid of billionaires since they would also receive payments. But it would help get rid of poverty, no?

I think about that reality often. How could you ever trust a human again?
