Weight and Motivation loss
Hello people, this is the Mad Scientist Supreme, talking today about motivation. Now, most people have motivation to do at least the minimum, and some people have the motivation to do a lot. The world changers, the people that really change the world, people that don't like the world as it is and try to make it new. Well, that's the innovators, that's what's the most important people. But now we have something called Ozempic, and a few other drugs in the similar vein, that take away your desire to eat more. They don't make you, there's not speed that burns off the calories that you eat, it makes you satisfied. Well, that part of your brain... It makes you satisfied. If you're satisfied, then you're not unsatisfied with how the world is, and out there trying to change it. As these drugs become more popular, you may well see the rate of innovation in the world go down. As these drugs go more popular around the world, those people that are our greatest innovators tend to also be, well, fat. Steve Jobs was thin, but Steve Wozniak, which was the intellectual behind the actual progress of Apple, he was the guy that actually did the work. He wasn't the cheerleader, Jobs was like a conductor of an orchestra. But the best bass player in the orchestra was Wozniak. And Wozniak was fat. He wanted more. He had that drive. Well, if you look back through history, there's a lot of people like that. They tend to also drink excessively. But you eat excessively because you have desire, you have drive. And if we're taking away that drive, especially from Americans, well, that's not good. Especially in a country like America. Now, these weight loss drugs are being marketed, almost exclusively to Americans, by other countries. So, even though that drug, I think it was developed in Norway, almost no one in Norway is on it. And yet, millions of, well, hundreds of thousands of Americans are, and well, may be into the millions very soon. That's a very good profit for them. But the hub of innovation in America may be crippled without us realizing it. So, I think some research needs to be done. On if this, these class of drugs decrease the motivation of the people taking them to make the world different, to make the world a better place. If we're sacrificing our future, in our future innovation, for, well, weight loss, we should be looking at a different way of weight loss. We need to change that. So, that's my little cautionary tale for today. Our psychology is being changed by a drug, and it may well have very negative effects for the nation as a whole. Thank you very much for listening.
