Do you think Obama should win the election?
If no, fuck you.
If yes, fuck you.

Excellent question. I often wonder if keeping my kids away from sugar will also mean they won't grow as tall as their peer group, because of this IGF-1 issue. It's one reason why I'm not more strict than I am. But there's no reason to restrict all carbs if your kids don't have a weight problem. Keeping sugar consumption low and the more obvious processed, refined grains seems like a reasonable compromise.

Since I'm ytknows, can I have my old position of #2 on the modlist back?

This is a huge question. I think one problem is that we live in a world where we pay a lot of attention to this literature. Most MDs and researchers do not, and so they still see this as a fringe movement. The people they have been taught to respect see it as a fringe movement, and so it goes. I've recently been reading a great book on cognitive dissonance -- "Mistakes Were Made but Not By Me." I highly recommend it

Would you rather fight 10 horse sized niggers or 100 nigger sized horses?

Interesting question. If we could consume honey as quickly and easily as we could processed sugar it might have similar effects and it might not because the viscosity might slow down the digestion and so ameliorate the effects on liver metabolism, insulin secretion and sensitivity, etc. (Assuming, of course, that processed sugar itself has those effects.) But because of the form honey comes in, it makes it exceedingly difficult to consume in quantity. You can't use it to sweeten cold drinks, for instance, and while people use it in hot tea, it doesn't seem to work in coffee. So one way or the other, are consumption of honey is limited by the form it comes in and this would be one reason why it would always be less harmful than processes sugar (assuming, again, that processed sugar is as harmful as I think it is.)

So basically, what you are saying, is that bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks?

One argument I've been making over and over again is that this isn't about getting everyone to eat meat.

Could you elaborate more on how marijuana has absolutely no bad side effects and how it makes you a smarter, better-looking person?

Re food reward, I just don't find it a meaningful hypothesis, as I've written in my blog. As for leptin, I think it plays an important role and I'll bet (takers?) that it responds to the carbohydrate content of the diet, just as insulin does. Whether leptin is leading insulin is an interesting question. I doubt it, but I could be wrong. And I do think, as I've argued, that obesity can be understood, just as type 2 diabetes can, as an insulin signaling issue. Adding leptin to it might inform the understanding, but I don't know whether it's necessary. Now I'm off to a late lunch. Thanks everybody, gt

Thanks. Made my day, as are all the good questions.

Are you actually a planetologist, or some other kind of astronomer or astrophysicist?

In answer to your question, I don't know yet, but I bet that if Cristin Couzens, my collaborator doesn't, she will soon.

How does it feel to be you?
Any insight would be welcomed. Thank you so much for gracing us with your presence, by the way. The entire reddit universe has been clamoring for this for quite some time.

If it turns out that I'm wrong, I'll have to admit it and move on -- maybe get a job selling shoes (I did that in high school for a few months). The key is making sure the experiments are done correctly and as i've noted in earlier questions, this is a tricky business.

How do you feel about the planet in the Alpha Centauri system? How soon will we oppress its natives?

Thank you for doing an AMA! I have quite a few questions to ask, but I don't want to monopolize your time, so feel free to only answer the ones you want to.
1. What do you dislike/like most about being famous in America? How is it different than being famous in Circlejerk?
2. What's one American celebrity you wish you could meet?
3. Does it bother you that everyone pronounces "upvotes to the left" wrong?
4. What's something you wish Americans would understand about Circlejerk?
5. Since you recently cameoed in DJ friendzone's "So Brave" is there any other music videos that you really wish you could be in?
6. Alternatively, who's someone you want to cameo in one of your music videos?
7. There's been some discussion about the first time you appeared on Ellen. When you asked to introduce yourself was it because you weren't sure if it was alright, or were you upset with Ellen's introduction (while you were off stage)?
8. What's your favourite parody of Reddit? Do you like the amount of parodies that are being produced, or do you wish people would stop?
9. Circlejerk is known for being very 'manufactured'. Trainees are picked when they're very young, and spend a huge amount of time in training. How do you think this affects the end result of the music in Circlejerk versus America? Is American pop music any less 'manufactured'? Do you think that you have an advantage or disadvantage being your own songwriter/producer?
10. Who's one of your favourite musicians?
11. Do you like cats?
Again, thank you for taking the time to answer questions. I'm sure you know how many people are interested in what you have to say.

You're breaking the first rule.
•Make parodies of the reddit hivemind.
Sorry, but do you think you're above the law? This isn't a parody at all. Reported.
Can I give this question to my seven-year-old and get back to you? I like it. I think Monty Python would have liked it. But I still think it needs his intellect to work on it more than mine.
Sorry, but your*
Just a pet peeve of mine (I have OCD).

Hey other "cool kid" mods, any objection to me re-banning this chump?
I think of us can return to metabolic health and some of us can't, and how long it takes will differ vastly between individuals as well. The only way to find out is to self-experiment.
