The trick is to keep that going in the longterm. I did manage to lose that amount of weight in the same amount of time as well, but ended up gaining it back in under 5 years, which I hear is the fate of most people who lose weight.
There's a nice substack I found that is precisely about this problem and wider variations of it, that is, the problem of figuring out numbers that actually tell you something about the universe:
I love The Darkness that Comes Before, where this observation is explored and exploited, in case you have not read it.
You think there are "vast secret legions of domestic terrorists flashing one another the OK sign in shadowy parking lots behind Bass Pro Shops experiencing “temporary” inflation"?
alt-right Yeah. I think the woke are done. No one actually likes or agrees with them, it's all just preference falsification.
1. Conservatives and even Trump supporters don't want that. 2. Thanks for pushing normal people even further to the right.
The state of discourse online is such because of the Culture War, and the Culture War predates Trump, and possibly caused Trump to be elected in the first place. The current phase of the Culture War began with universities getting creative with their definitions of "bigotry", "white supremacy", "racism", and "sexism". The worldview promulgated there eventually percolated to the mainstream and is a massive driver of the ongoing cultural conflict.
If I'm in a meeting and stop someone from ruling out a potential candidate because of skin color, did I harm their culture?
How could you possibly know the candidate is being ruled out for skin color?
As far as I can tell, unconscious bias has fallen victim to the replication crisis.
