If you apply alcohol to your body, at high concentration, very localised, to disinfect some wound .. that may be useful, healthy, lifesaving even.

Mm, I'd say your claim is only true at a first glance. You pass your AI a question: "Hey please from this complex topic and tell me is A better for me or B?" Sounds good. But AI actually adds more complexity to an already too complex environment for humans to make good decisions. Who trained the model? With what data did they train the model? ...

Makes me relax a bit. Makes me think that we're thankfully still a few years away from robots performing most manual jobs, where precision on millimetre scale (but not the repetitive kind) and attention to detail and knowledge of material properties (think a construction worker who applies sealant or glue and needs to later scrape off excess) is needed to actually do valuable work.

Not disagreeing .. but do people in hot climates who's bodies (I assume) rarely need to generate heat (through brown fat) even have much brown fat? Shouldn't cancer rates then be higher in hotter climates? -- I've been thinking for a while that there are certain healthy but mildly unpleasant body states that our rich modern societies has mostly taken away: - cold - fasting - exercise

Well, you can put some of the blame on voters, but not all. Elections mostly are a theatre to make the system appear somewhat more legit to the naïve. There are power structures/networks that are more important, for what the outcomes of the political process are, than elections.

What makes you confident that they won't at some point pull an executive order #...., outlawing private ownership?
