this used to tank my mental health so bad, just constantly feeling guilty cause im not working and achieving shit like my peers, but then i realized that it's all bullshit and you can just enjoy your life instead

dont get me wrong, self-improvement is important, but hustle culture is toxic as fuck and makes people feel like shit about themselves. some people dont give a shit about careers and ambitions and just want to vibe

    Another disease caused by civilization. We didn’t used to eat so much sugar and starch allowing tons of diseases to spread.

        That's true, but the cause of type 1 diabetes is still unknown, and it could be linked to some epigenetic or environmental aspect of civilization. We don't know for sure how prevalent the disease was before prehistory.

          Exactly my point. I doubt we tons of people with insulin issues for 200k years and they were dying from unregulated blood sugar levels.

              That’s not really any proof that it existed in Humans pre civilization. And having a diet based solely around corn I’m sure exasperates the problem.

                It's autoimmine it has nothing to do with diet. The burden of proof is on you to show that it's caused by some aspect of modern society.

                  Yes diet over many generations changes overall health. It’s not that drastic of an idea that major changes in diet would cause major changes in type 1 Diabetes.
