Too true. I’ve come to particularly dislike the way we design computing devices and interfaces. They ruin our bodies and require exceptions to accommodate people with different capabilities. And to afford those accommodations is a privilege many do not have access to.

The best thing we can do is spend less time in front of them.

While I think this is great advice, the author of the article lost all credibility as soon as he mentioned a chiropractor


Same here - how they are allowed to continue to be a trade is beyond me. My friend is a neurosurgeon and has more than a few stories about times she's had to fix or more often, mitigate, damage done by chiropractors. But at the same time, nothing is done about other quacks like supplements, homeopathy, etc...


Be careful, if you get too close to supporting medical regulations and evidence-based medicine, you will awaken the crowd who thinks vaccines are poison and quacks should be allowed to sell ivermectin for every ailment. Surely Tim Ferris should be allowed to sell supplements because the free market is absolutely perfect (unless a member of the free market is deciding to enforce masks as a condition of entry or something).


I don't want to ban things like homeopathy and chiropractors but I have seen them attached to government hospitals in the UK. Chiropractic treatment should not be funded by the public.
