Witches VS Patriarchy

But using as little energy as possible and consuming as much of it as possible, all else equal, is LITERALLY the natural order. That’s our evolutionary programming. We rely on our big brains to achieve more complex instrumental goals.

OP’s reasoning is sound, because it suggests that certain choices are made out of ignorance and are therefore not rational (i.e., “not natural”).

Ultimately, more information leads to MORE diet and exercise, whereas more information leads to LESS “trad” lifestyle.

This is a gross comment. Posting "people don't always choose what's good for them" under a post about women arguing that the trad wife lifestyle shouldn't be forced on them, reads as though you're defending forcing that lifestyle onto women if it's "good for them."

Eta: the fact that the person I'm replying to has been active on the fediverse since my reply but chosen not to refute my point makes me think I was right about the point they were trying to make.

huh? food companies put addictive sugar/fat/salt combinations in everything now. our brains didn't evolve for this - like nobody thinks that a cup of granola + milk is like half your daily calorie intake - that's why people are obese - not because they can't "choose" to be healthy..

The obesity rate is high and increasing because the environment humans exist in changed. We aren't fundamentally different biologically than we were 100 years ago. Our food system very much is different from then.

Pretend we're talking about slavery and see if you'd still feel the same response is valid criticism.
