If someone in the laboratory wanted to construct the biggest turd in the punch bowl, we'd start with high neuroticism and conscientiousness, and then max out disagreeableness, extraversion, and closedness to experience. The result would look something like Bill O'Reilly lol

No matter how hard you try to be dispassionate, you analysis makes me dislike leftists even more.

Also, Ozempic seems to work by doing three things. First, it slows gastric emptying. Without surgery. Second, it sends the “I’m full” signal to the brain. Third, it seems to dull the excessive reward some people get from eating, particularly processed junk food. This last is why it shows some promise in treating addiction. It doesn’t increase conscientiousness or willpower; it renders those attributes less necessary. People actually want to eat less. Hence, the moral argument against GLP-1 agonists. Which I don’t personally find compelling.

Fair critique of one throw-away sentence I added in about Ozempic; can you address any of my arguments with something other than "ew you're gross"?

I like your analysis in general. I don’t know if I have any great critique. I’d like to mull it over and read the rest of what you have to say.

I agree that the mechanism of action for Ozempic was tangential to your main analysis.

Wow, crazy that we independently kind of came to the same conclusions :)
