Phineas Gage famously did, accidentally.
If something appears blue, it is blue. That’s all color is.
Also, if you took a sufficiently large quantity of air and put it into empty space and shined very bright white through it, it would experience rayleigh scattering—-meaning that air, when you have enough of it and shine a bright enough light through it, is blue.
By that logic the sky is near-Planck length ultraviolet, because if I put a sufficiently large quantity of it immediately beside a supernova it goes way past blue.
Color is a property something has under certain conditions, it is not a property of what that something is under all conditions.
The sky isn’t blue. It’s transparent. That’s why you can see stars that aren’t blue at night. When struck by sunlight at the right angles it appears blue, but saying it is blue is like saying the ocean is green when a bucket of it clearly isn’t.
tl;dr: you should not be able to read this manifesto, and we’ll ensure that with bad CSS!

I tend to see humans as just another animal species, subject to pressures similar to those of other mammals. Whenever disease comes up it seems like vaccinations are the only factor discussed.
Can anyone here speak to other factors (at a macro scale) that influence human health over large spans of time?
The main factor (at a macro scale) that influences human health over large spans of time is, in fact, large spans of time.
Specifically, no human has yet, or ever will, live long enough to qualify as a large span of time.

Long-term study should come try to climb staircases with me at 51, cause me at 35 sure as hell had things to learn.
The end of US hegemony. Opportunities for gains via insider trading. These people are not and never have been playing chess, you’re watching a game of tic-tac-toe where the first player starts in a corner.

In most cases they are, rather distinctly, Not.
