It's high carb?
And why is that a problem? You seem to be implying that a low-carb diet is The Only True Way which looks doubtful.
If you are trying to go on a cut i.e. want a six pack
The claim was about "health-conscious" people, not body-image-conscious.

Because of the negative effects it has on your insulin response, leading to pancreas fatigue and type 2 diabetes.

I was under the impression that a low body fat percentage was healthier. Perhaps I'm wrong. I must admit my beliefs are influenced by aesthetics. I'd bet on low abdominal fat been the optimal via a low-ish carb diet.
Occasionally even health-conscious people eat stuff like pizza
What's wrong with healthy people (in particular, gluten-tolerant) eating pizza?
It's high carb? It gives me heartburn (probably gluten intolerance?). If you are trying to go on a cut i.e. want a six pack it's a bad idea.
Is it meaningful to say something is only deterministic from the point of view of an observer?
I've wondered about that. Someone should try writing an iPad app that a toddler can play with to have their brain bombarded by math, and see if that leads to math coming as naturally to them as language. I doubt it would work but it might be worth trying.
I think this book maybe of some interest to you Chris. It was the text book recommend for a CogSci class I did, dealing with how cognitive systems develop in response to their environment.
Politics? I don't understand how.
Also, above comment should in no way be taken as criticism of GEB. It's great. It's just that that's pretty much all he has to his credit.
I mean people want to tear chunks out of it for status reasons... ...I think.
To be fair, Hoftstadter is basically a one-trick pony, in that he published one academically-relevant book and then more or less jumped straight to Professor Emeritus in all but name, publishing very little and interacting with academia even less.
Just wishing I had read GEB sooner. Reading it now and it seems to be getting ruined by politics.
Oh, did I? I'm sorry to hear that it hasn't turned out to be helpful. It sounds like you are serious about getting the help you need though. Identifying the problem is obviously one of the most important steps to the solution. :) Good luck, friend!
I should really ring the GP today.
But I'm also assuming you know very little about debate tactics, is that correct? If so, the sentence I quoted seems to imply you seem to think you should be able to handle quite a wide range of things on the fly.
Nnnoo, it implies I thought I should be able to handle a wide range of events inside a public conversation (about religion) on the fly. This is a tiny slice of human endeavor.
I probably wouldn't say something similar nowadays, and I worry whether that might be due to decrease of energy rather than calibration of confidence.
Thinking is metabolically expensive I guess(?)
er...what? I do not understand.
Aw shit seg fault :D

We know that low-carb is effective at losing weight. The jury is still out on whether low-carb is healthy in the long term.
Similarly, while it is clear that being obese is unhealthy, I don't think that there is any evidence to show that being very thin (having low body fat %) is healthier than being normal.
Depends on what you mean by normal?
