The first trees would grow 100m straight up without branches. The earth was actually covered by fallen trees for millions of years before the bacteria that break them down evolved.

I mean, I think the issue is most people just don't care, at least not enough to fight for it. Same with most medical issues. Look at what happens when people really care, like a tragedy or something. Generally there's no stops, money comes flowing in, things get approved rapidly, etc.

Personally I think if we genuinely were passionate about fixing something, we do a pretty good job at doing so. Unfortunately, I just don't think enough people care as well as have the resources to address issues like the poor state of healthcare.

Do you have a specific study to cite about wealthy people and executive functioning? I would be very interested on reading more about how executive functioning problems do not affect people with money.

I have come to witness this in my own life. I am a 26 year old male without a profession, unemployed, poor af etc all usual stuff. I can 100% tell stress that has been going on for years is one of the worst things that can happen. Non stressful beneficial things dont even feel good because of stress. Stress is like cancer.

But not in mate selection for the most part

ED: Look, dudes: successful grandchildren and opportunities for breeding are not the same metric. Popping out 40 kids in a trailer in Tennessee is absolutely a valid and effective reproductive strategy, even if they aren't raised by GMA/GPA; it's just not optimal for offspring wellbeing.

Existing precedes well-being and the two are not the same thing. It's ridiculous I have to spell that out in r/science

>all disease comes from some form of bacterial imbalance

We know that not all diseases come from bacterial imbalance. There are, for example, viruses that cause diseases.

But it seems an important topic that it has not yet been used in practical terms. I hope that more studies like this bring tests and treatments.

I also hope that monetary incentives help and not hamper this kind of studies.
