From Whence The Fine Tuned Universe
The case that the universe is fine-tuned has been made convincingly by many of the giants of physics, including Leonard Mlodinow, Luke Barnes, Geraint Lewis, Leonard Susskind, Robin Collins, Paul Davies, Martin Rees, John Barrow, John Leslie, Alan Guth, Brian Green, Roger Penrose, the late Stephen Hawking, and many others.
However, there are still a small minority of physicists, and cosmologists, perhaps ten percent or so, who have reservations about declaring the universe fine-tuned. Why? Well, Lawrence Krauss, in his book, “A Universe From Nothing”, page 124, tells us there are only two conclusions one can draw concerning the origin of the universe:
One, drawn by Newton himself, and earlier espoused by Galileo and a host of other scientists over the years, was that such order was created by a divine intelligence responsible not only for the universe but also for our own existence and that we human beings were created in her image (and apparently other complex and beautiful beings were not!).
Notice that Krauss is referring to the Biblical God here. The “her” instead of He, is just a bit of sarcasm on his part. But the “in her image” is a definite reference to the God of the Bible. (Genesis 1:27)
Whether they realize it or not that, that is the primary reason that those who still deny the very obvious fine-tuning of the universe do so. That is, it lends credence to the Bible banging Christians who declare that the fine-tuned universe proves, not that some kind of creator exists, but that their version of God exists. That is an old man who sits on a throne in the sky and sends fire and brimstone, worldwide floods, or genocide to kill all the evil people on earth and will torture forever all those who do not believe all that bullshit.
And that is also the reason so many cosmologists who realize they cannot deny the obvious, opt for a thing called “The Multiverse”. That is, if there are trillions of trillions of universes, odds are, one of them would have all the laws, particles, and constants that would be just right to create the universe as we know it. As Martin Rees so bluntly put it, concerning the multiverse, “It gets rid of God”.
Dr. Krauss’ second conclusion: “It is the laws themselves are all that exist. These laws themselves require the universe to come into existence, to develop and evolve, and we are irrevocable by the product of these laws. The laws may be eternal, or they too may have come into existence, again by some yet unknown but possible purely physical process.”
That is a remarkable conclusion. Who or what wrote those laws? They just popped out of nothing or were caused by some physical process that just popped out of nothing. I get back to that later but now back to God.
The problem is that the idea that the universe might have been created by some kind of conscious entity has been hijacked by organized, primarily fundamentalist, religion. Their logic goes something like this.
“Science has determined that the universe had a beginning. They call it ‘The Big Bang’. Nothing happens without a cause. Therefore, God caused the Big Bang. God tells us exactly how he did it in the Bible. Though this not absolute proof of the existence of the Biblical God, it certainly lends credence to Him and His book, the Holy Bible.”
Of course, it does nothing of the sort. The Big Bang theory no more supports the god Yahweh than it supports any other god, be it Thor, Zeus or Poseidon. In fact, the Big Bang theory, and how the universe evolved billions of years later, completely contradicts almost every detail in the Genesis creation myth.
That being said, I will make no further attempt to debunk any religion created by man. That has been done over and over again by men from Thomas Payne to Richard Dawkins and hundreds in between. And largely to no avail. Those who hold dogmatic religious beliefs are well beyond logic or reason so I will make no attempt to use those tools to convince them of anything.
Here is perhaps the most important point when dealing with epistemology, that is why people believe what they believe. When one accepts any dogmatic world view, be it anything from Christianity to Naturalism, they already believe they know the absolute truth. And if you are already in possession of absolute truth, you will refuse even to examine any evidence that contradicts your dogma. Any evidence that contradicts your worldview would be not worth your valuable time to examine. If anyone tries to present to you any such evidence, just give them the bum’s rush and move on.
Okay, back to the fine-tuning argument. First, a very brief explanation of what is meant by the fine-tuned universe. First, there are the forces of nature. There is the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force, the strong nuclear force, and the weak nuclear force. If any of these four forces were only slightly different then the universe as we know it would not exist. Lately, there has been the addition of another force, dark energy. More on that force later.
Then there are the constants of nature. Here are just a few of them.
But there are at least two dozen more such as the resonance of the carbon atom. Fred Hoyle figured out it has to be exactly what it is, else there would not be enough hydrogen created in stellar nucleosynthesis or way too much hydrogen and not enough oxygen.
And third, there are the initial conditions of everything created at the Big Bang. Initially, in the first fraction of a millionth of a second, there were only quark and gluon plasma. Then there formed, from this plasma, protons, and neutrons. The mass of the neutron had to slightly greater than the proton else all protons would have quickly decayed into neutrons and that would have been the end of everything.
But we have hardly gotten started. Out of all, this would spring all the other elementary particles of nature. There are seventeen of them, counting the recently discovered Higgs Boson.
I have noticed that virtually all fine-tuning arguments, pro, and con, seem to totally ignore the elementary particles of nature. It is just assumed that they all just popped out of nothing and only the constants of nature are argued. But it is my argument that the elementary particles are an integral part of the debate. After all, how many possible subatomic particles could there be that is not an up quark with two-thirds the charge of the electron but in the opposite direction? The obvious answer is there is an infinite number of possible other subatomic particles that are not an up quark with all the characteristics it has. And ditto for all the other subatomic particles. And all these particles, as fine-tuned as they all are, with the exact charge and mass they possess, just popped out of nothing either at or shortly after, the Big Bang.
There are two other very important facets of the fine-tuning debate, dark matter and dark energy.
Dark Matter
As you can see from the diagram above, dark matter and dark energy, combined, make up from 95 to 96 percent of everything created at the instant of the Big Bang. Estimates of both vary by one or two percent, but all estimates are very close. And the stars, planets and stuff we can see make up less than one percent of the total universe. The rest of the ordinary matter is intergalactic gas.
But what is dark matter? Well, we don’t really know. But we do know what it does and how it behaves. The only thing dark matter has in common with ordinary matter is that it has gravitational properties. It causes galaxies in galactic clusters to move much faster than they would otherwise. It bends light around the galactic clusters and causes “Einstein Rings” around the clusters. And it holds stars within their galaxy and causes them to rotate much faster around the galactic center than they should according to Newtonian principles.
Computer models have shown that galaxies are created when dark matter merges and clumps together. In other words, without dark matter, there would be no galaxies, no planets, and no life. However, this dark matter is nothing like ordinary matter. It has no electrical or magnetic properties. It will not reflect or absorb light. But most importantly it will not mix with ordinary matter. If it would mix then four-fifths of stars would be dark matter, which would not fuse and produce energy in the process. Stars would not burn if they were a mostly dark matter. And the dark matter will not clump together with itself. Else dark matter would form clumps like stars and black holes. No, dark matter particles, if it is a particle, must repel themselves from other dark matter particles if they get too close together. Dark matter must remain as a cloud or halo around galaxies but never form clumps as ordinary matter does to form stars. In other words, dark matter is itself extremely fine-tuned.
The above is Arvin Ash’s depiction of dark matter. Some physicists and cosmologists may have a different concept of how dark matter clouds form around galaxies. But the important takeaway is there would be no galaxies without dark matter. Dark matter, though created at the Big Bang, would have no role to play until 300 to 500 million years after the Big Bang, when the first galaxies were formed.
Approximately 73% of everything created at the Big Bang was dark energy. According to Einstein’s equation, E = mc², matter, and energy are basically the same thing. So dark energy makes up almost three-fourths of the mass/energy of the universe.
Cosmologists tell us that the amount of dark energy in the universe is critical. The value is known as lambda, (λ), is extremely small when measured in Planck units. It is .000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000138 That is a decimal point followed by 123 zeros and a 138. If it were 122 zeros then 1, or ten times stronger, the universe would fly apart before stars would have had time to form. Or if it were 124 zeros, 10 times weaker, then the universe would have collapsed back on itself before stars would have had time to form.
The Big Bang seemed to plan ahead. All the important stuff, the formation of stars, galaxies, and the explosion of the large first-generation stars that would spread every natural element in the periodic table throughout the galaxies, would not happen for almost a billion years later. But the seed, that is the recipe, for all that sprang into existence, apparently from nothing, in the first few seconds of the Big Bang.
That the universe is fine-tuned is a real no-brainer. It is such a no-brainer that almost every physicist and cosmologist in the business now admits it. But they are almost all atheists who loathe admitting any kind of supernational entity into their theory of how the universe came into being. So, they have an out, the Multiverse.
Even the very few outright deniers of the fine-tuned universe, Sean Carroll, Lawrence Krauss, and the late Victor Stenger all still opt for the multiverse as an explanation for fine-tuning. Dr. Stenger, on page 227 of his book “The Fallacy of Fine Tuning” writes:
“Modern cosmology strongly suggests, although it does not prove, the existence of multiple universes in a greater system called the multiverse. If they exist, multiple universes provide a no-brainer solution to the fine-tuning problem by way of the weak anthropic principle. There are many universes out there with different parameters, and we just happen to be in the one with those parameters that allowed our kind of life to evolve.”
So, there you have it. Almost every cosmologist on the planet, who is not a theist, opts for the multiverse as an explanation for the fine-tuning of the universe. (One, Sabine Hossenfelder, does not, but she has another story that I will not cover in this essay.)
However, the multiverse fails miserably as a fine-tuning explanation. It has a very obvious fatal flaw which when you see it, it will knock you over with its simplicity. I will start with Dr. Brian Green’s multiverse fine-tuning explanation.
In an enthralling Ted Talk, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vx2RcUQNh6Q “Is our universe the only universe?”, Dr. Green deals with the unlikely event that the cosmological constant would be so fine-tuned in our universe. He says that there is an infinite number of universes out there. He displays the number, a decimal point followed by 123 zeros then 138. Anyway, he says one of the infinite numbers of universes just has to have the correct universal constant to keep the universe from flying apart or collapsing on itself. And we find ourselves in just that one. Fine-tuning problem solved. We just won the infinite lottery, that’s all.
The above is Dr. Green’s example of random cosmological constants. The top one is the correct one, the rest are all failed universes.
But there is a hole in this theory you could drive a truck through. First, let me introduce you to the infinite number lottery. Suppose you were asked to write a number, from zero to infinity on a lottery ticket. And you are told there exists a winning number, also from zero to infinity. What is your chance of winning? Well, virtually zero. But if an infinite number of people played that lottery, someone could possibly win.
However, one number is not enough. There are at least fifty laws, constants, and particles and you must get them all correct, on the same drawing. You must draw, from an infinite number of possibilities, fifty times and draw a winning number every time. The odds against you winning would be1times10 to infinity, times infinity, times infinity, at least fifty times. Not just one time as Dr. Green proposes.
But just sit back and think about what the multiverse advocates are proposing. That is, it is reasonable to believe that trillions of trillions of universes just pop out of nothing. And it is reasonable to believe that they will all have the same particles and laws that this universe has. And they claim that only the value of constants could vary. But out of almost an infinite number of universes, one of them will get lucky and have all the correct constants, all in the same universe, come out just right.
That is an absurd assumption on every level. But they believe all that bullshit just to avoid the possibility that some kind of conscious entity started it all. And it is driven by this bullheaded dogma that they cannot yield an inch to the theists. They must get rid of the idea that some kind of intelligence started the whole thing. If they would only realize that this conscious entity, this god-like being, or whatever you might choose to call it, need bear no resemblance to any theist’s idea of God. It no more supports the Christian God than it supports the God of the Aztecs. Both gods were created in the mind of man in times when all acts of nature like floods or volcanic eruptions were explained as acts of their personal god.
Philosopher Dr. Jason Waller, in what I consider the very best book ever published on the subject, “Cosmological Fine-Tuning Arguments”, points out that there are really only three possible explanations as to the origin of the universe.
1. Brute fact
2. Multiverse
3. Minimal theism*
*By “minimal theism” he explains he means “god-like-thing”.
Having already dealt with the multiverse hypothesis, I will try to now deal with the brute fact hypothesis.
Brute fact means that it just is. That the universe just exists as a brute fact, no explanation is necessary. Naturalists and theoretical physicist, Dr. Sean Carroll, in an interview in Salon.com, put it this way: “There is certainly no reason to think that there was something that ‘caused’ it; the universe can just be.”
Nowhere in science is this explanation accepted for the existence of any other type of phenomena, yet Dr. Carroll posits it here as if it were a perfectly logical explanation.
I will compare Dr. Carroll’s theory to that of William Paley who theorized that if you were walking in a meadow and came upon a watch lying in the grass, you would not assume that the watch just appeared from nothing, you would theorize it was designed and created by a watchmaker. Paley was referring to the human body. It is so well designed that it had to have been created by a creator.
This position was countered, very effectively, by Richard Dawkins in his book, “The Blind Watchmaker”. Dawkins explained how the human body, along with every other living thing in the world evolved. The blind watchmaker was evolution. And I agree. I am emphatic in my opinion that anything that can be explained by evolution should be explained by evolution. Evolution is a hard fact. There is no need to imply that there exists any kind of intelligent design in the evolution of life. Yes, the DNA molecule is extremely complex. But DNA had over three billion years to evolve.
But the universe did not evolve. According to the Big Bang theory, the very fine-tuned universe just poppedout of nothing. It would be beyond absurdity to assume that Paley’s fine-tuned watch just popped uncaused out of nothing. So why is it less absurd to assume that the fine-tuned universe just popped, uncaused, out of nothing?
The question is, was the universe caused, and if so, what caused it? Or was the universe uncaused, did it just pop uncaused out of nothing? This is not a scientific question, since neither can be proved or falsified by science. This is a philosophical question. Neither science nor philosophy can prove either that the universe is just a brute fact or that its existence was caused. But philosophy can help us decide which is most probable.
But first, we must deal with what I call “The Dawkins Objection.” Richard Dawkins has claimed that accepting that the universe “just happened” is more probable than believing that it was created by God. That is because, even though the universe is fine-tuned, any type of god would have to be even more fine-tuned. Therefore, he claims, that it is more likely that the universe just popped out of nothing than a fine-tuned god just popped out of nothing.
It is my contention that this is not the case. There is no reason to insist that this, to use Dr. Waller’s term, “god-like-thing” just popped into existence with full knowledge and ability to create the universe. While it is true that something had to come, uncaused, into existence, or always existed, I have no way of knowing which, but it did not have to, from the beginning, have the knowledge nor the ability to create the universe. It could have gained knowledge and ability over almost eternity it would have existed. That is, it could have evolved.
Of course, this is all just philosophical musings. There is not, nor can there be, any hard proof of any of this. But my point is that it is far more probable that some kind of god-like thing gradually came into existence than a fully fine-tuned universe just popped into existence out of nothing.
But why is this important? Why should we believe that it is likely that some god-like thing started it all? Well, there are two very important reasons. And the second reason is, by far, the most important.
1. It is what a preponderance of evidence supports.
2. There is a purpose behind our existence.
Make no mistake, I am not implying that the purpose behind existence is “us” earthlings. Not by a long shot. Though earth-like planets are likely extremely rare in the universe. Perhaps only 1 of every 100 billion stars there orbits an earthlike planet. By the latest estimates, there are likely 1 x 10 to the 24th stars in the universe. If only 1 out of every 100 billion stars has a planet where life could evolve, then there would still be 10 trillion planets that would permit the evolution of life.
But why, why, why are so many of the highly educated academia so opposed to accepting the concept that some kind of conscious being was responsible for the formation of the universe? It is because of their concept of the word “God”. No, it is not Dr. Jason Waller’s “god-like-thing” that they oppose. It is the God of the Bible that irks their emotions. No, there was no worldwide flood, there was no Adam and Eve, there was no Jesus who will save your soul and whose daddy will burn you in hell forever and forever if you don’t believe it. No, they say, don’t come here with your God bullshit, we know it is a crock and that settles it.
It is a psychological thing. The biblical concept of God has been pounded into their heads since they were babies. God is, whether they realize it or not, etched into their psyche as the God of the Bible. And that is what pops into their heads at any mention of the word. Their brains have been poisoned by fundamentalist religion.
Here is Victor Stinger’s dedication page from his book, “The Fallacy of Fine-Tuning: Why the universe is Not Designed for Us”
To Christopher Hitchens,
Whose courage and brilliance I esteem
And whose friendship I treasure.
I am a fan of the late Christopher Hitchens as well. But the God Hitchens assails is clearly the biblical God and bears no resemblance to any kind of conscious being, or god-like thing that may have created the universe.
The “God & Cosmology” debate between Sean Carroll and William Lane Craig is a perfect example. Carroll puts the debate as a debate between “Naturalism vs. Theism”. The theism that Carroll assails is of course the same theism that Craig champions, Biblical theism. If God did it, Carroll stresses, the universe would be kind and perfect and not the mess we see today. After all, the Biblical God is omnibenevolent and omnipotent and therefore would have only created a perfect loving universe.
You can easily prove that any type of being does not exist if you are the one describing the qualities it would have if it did exist.
It is just so easy to be an atheist. Shooting down the God of the Bible is like shooting fish in a barrel. I did it for half a century and it was such damn fun. But I will not engage in any more of that hilarity here. It has already been done by Thomas Paine, Christopher Hitchens, Richard Dawkins, Robert Ingersoll, and hundreds of others. Dogma, set as in concrete when a child, is almost impossible to remove as an adult.
For the scientific world, and even the philosophical world, the problem is, the biblical concept of God has poisoned and will continue to poison, any philosophical concept of a deity. Any mention of Dr. Waller’s “god-like-thing” and the reaction is, “that smells of religion”. The reaction is then the same as that of Luther, to “shut your eyes and stop your ears for nothing else needs to be seen or heard”. Religion poisons everything.
Conclusion
It is the naturalists’ position that the universe is just a brute fact. That our extremely fine-tuned universe could just pop, uncaused, out of nothing is, on the face of it, absurd. And the concept of the multiverse fails miserably as an explanation for how the universe began. That leaves us with only one option, some kind of “conscious entity” or “god-like-thing” that started it all. At least this has to be the most probable conclusion. Of course, that is only a philosophical conclusion as a scientific proof is impossible.
But if one does accept that the universe was created by some kind of conscious entity, then it seems obvious that it, (sorry but there is no pronoun for a genderless being), did it for a purpose.
That is, it strongly suggests that the universe has a purpose.
As to what that purpose is, we can only speculate. Perhaps we are destined to become perpetual seekers, always searching for the meaning of life, always advancing our knowledge, but never arriving at any final answer. However, we should always continue our search. To quote Socrates, “The unexamined life is not worth living”.
That search is ongoing at the University of Virginia, School of Medicine, Division of Perceptual Studies.
There are several other universities and private organizations with similar programs.
While most people are very comfortable with one kind of dogma or another dominating their worldview, there are still many who are not.

“There was madness in any direction, at any hour. If not across the Bay, then up the Golden Gate or down 101 to Los Altos or La Honda. . . . You could strike sparks anywhere. There was a fantastic universal sense that whatever we were doing was right, that we were winning. . . .
And that, I think, was the handle—that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of Old and Evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn’t need that. Our energy would simply prevail. There was no point in fighting—on our side or theirs. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. . . .
So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.”

https://parisberlinmoscow.wordpress.com/2015/06/01/ian-bremmer-knows-anglosphere-is-over/
“Ian Bremmer Knows Anglosphere Is Over”
Ian Bremmer, a typical International Jew à la Henry Ford, professes that the US will retreat from being the self-declared world’s policeman, back into isolation.
Personally, I don’t think that that option exists for the US, retreating into pre-WW2 isolationism. Because, you see, that old pre-WW2 America no longer exists to retreat upon. Meanwhile, America has an exceptional adventurous demographic composition and once white America is confronted with the end of the American Dream (the geopolitical one, “with America on top”), it could very well decide to some major internal house cleaning and simply secede from Washington that is hostile to white America, because it is run by Jews, who are deeply hostile to white America, because they want to kick said white America a few notches from the power ladder and take its place, once and for all:
https://documents1940.wordpress.com/2017/09/27/paul-krugman-white-americans-are-losing-their-country/
“Paul Krugman: “White Americans Are Losing Their Country””
Straight from the horse’s mouth.
Krugman said that in 2014, 2 years before Trump, which he didn’t see coming. Krugman was more afraid of Ted Cruz at the time. But he was right with his fear that white America could put up resistance against its own demise. And Trump hay have been removed from office, probably thanks to electoral theft, he still controls the Republic Party and the Demonic Left absolutely has no figure heads at the moment: Biden is mainly in the news because of his uncontrollable flatulence and sh*tting in his pants during a visit to the pope and publicly sleeping during COP26, where his supposed successor Kamela Harris, who laughs like a hyena, is nowhere to be seen and doesn’t seem fit to replace him. The most likely successors of Biden-Harris in 2024 are the very woke Meghan Markle and her royal catch Prince Harry from the UK. If Trump doesn’t die of old age he might even have a chance, as a 2nd theft attempt will be unlikely, because everybody on the right is on guard.
Here is another post from 2015 that aged very well:

“One Month Without Natural Gas Central Heating”
The background of this experiment are reports that *** perhaps *** Europe could run out of natural gas reserves later this coming winter, if temperatures will get really low.
Btw, I hope this will be the case, to really confront the population with the idea how central energy really is, as there are still too many NIMBYs in Europe.

“Lukashenko threatens to cut off gas to Europe as migrant crisis escalates: Putin’s nuclear planes hold fresh bombing drills over Belarus and EU considers Trump-style border wall in major U-turn”
I’m not Lukashenko’s biggest fan, but for the moment I hope he remains in the saddle. Thanks to his (very understandable) behavior, he prompted the EU to jump over its own shadow and order building a “Trump-style border wall”.
Which is an insult. Since we are talking Europe here, you know in advance that the wall will be built in no-time, very much in contrast to that half-hearted Twump-wall, sabotaged from within by the US deep state.

Here uncle Cloggs free advice to governments, addicted to the failed vaccination strategy: rather than having Corona-passports based on whether somebody is vaccinated or not, send everybody to his doctor and let him tick the following boxes: age, gender, length, weight, BMI, ethnicity, medical history, general fitness and every other relevant medical factor, based on a detailed analysis of people who ended up in hospital, c.q. IC or morgue. No political correctness. Based on this data, attribute to every individual a score, indicating the vulnerability of that individual for attracting a serious course of Covid-19 illness. While they are at it, give them advice of how to improve the score (lose weight!). Let individuals decide on the basis of this score if they want to be vaccinated. The healthy people with low scores, who are almost guaranteed to have an immune system that can deal with Covid all by itself, do not need to be vaccinated. Old and weak people are adviced to take the vaccine, but no obligation.

Why Japan has no serious Covid problems?
Odometer/Japan: https://tinyurl.com/5zpvnbda
Why?
Japan has a national BMI-index of 22!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_body_mass_index
Japanese are fish eaters, not quarter-pounder steaks.
Japan had just as many Corona deaths as the Netherlands (BMI=25.5), but with a 7.3 times larger population, that is on top of that, the oldest in the world. Obviously, just like everywhere else, weight in Japan is normally distributed, so they have obese people too (Sumo wrestlers!), but they died earlier. Japan is now reaping the benefits from a mountainous landscape, hardly suitable for cattle breeding, but surrounded by the ocean filled with fish, good for them.
If you really want to fight Covid, you don’t “vaccinate” the entire population with mRNA garbage, that needs to be “refreshed” every few months or so, but you start a war against obesity, just like the West waged war against smoking decades ago and won! We need fat-shaming on a massive scale. We need TV-reality shows, where 100 or so tatoed obese monsters volunteer to lose weight under supervision and peer pressure.
This just in: even the German leftist MSM FAZ just admitted: this is a pandemic of the elderly vaccinated:
https://www.pi-news.net/2021/11/die-pandemie-der-geimpften/
98% of the population can easily survive Covid with zero or mild symptoms (for me personally, it was a flu, with 5 days up to 39C fever).

Clog, I don’t know about Euro-lands, but all they managed here was a reduction in smokers.
I quit. The final blow was the cost. Huge taxes. 40 year smoker. I’m not worried about cancer. If cancer shows up when I’m old, I’ll eat that shit for breakfast then ask for seconds
Most people I know who quit did so due to cost as #1 reason. It’s $15-$20 Canadian for a pack of smokes (20 cigs) now.
Tobacco killed 500,000 Americans in 2020 – is it time to control cigarette-makers?

The US has roughly 10 times as many people as Canada
Tobacco continues to be the number one cause of preventable disease and death in Canada. An estimated 48,000 Canadians die each year as a result of smoking – May 20, 2021
https://www.lung.ca/lung-health/lung-info/lung-statistics/smoking-and-tobacco-statistics
The Canadian government spent shit tons of money on PSA tv commercials featuring blackened lungs & old grannies smoking & talking out of the tracheostomy hole in their throat.
Mostly a big waste of money because it’s da money.
If you can prevent teens from smoking you’ve won because almost no one 20 years or older starts smoking.
If I was in charge I’d get the air force to spray copious amounts of Agents orange & purple on tobacco fields & drop a few MK-77 canisters of napalm on the farm house.

clog your notion that ‘shaming’ is a solution confirms your ignorance of human evolution & Anglo culture. Sounds very Nazi & protestant.
To reach & maintain a obesity free society you would need to destroy the Big Food Mega corps and/or control the distribution which means eliminating a major source of legal dopamine hits for the masses & going to war against a number of powerful institutions & people.
Fast food alone is approaching a $trillion per. Add in ‘snack food’ candy & sugar saturated drinks. And that’s not the only super high carb obese making groceries.
Most breakfast cereal is no different than cookies & most easy to prepare or microwavable food has the same make up as fast food. Trash.
clog, you may not understand the scientific & evolutionary angle, but the Big Food Corps do. They employ scientists to make the food addictive & they also hire scientists & PR scum to manipulate the human brain.
Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us
“Every year, the average American eats thirty-three pounds of cheese and seventy pounds of sugar. Every day, we ingest 8,500 milligrams of salt, double the recommended amount, almost none of which comes from the shakers on our table. It comes from processed food, an industry that hauls in $1 trillion in annual sales. In Salt Sugar Fat, Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Michael Moss shows how we ended up here. Featuring examples from Kraft, Coca-Cola, Lunchables, Frito-Lay, Nestlé, Oreos, Capri Sun, and many more, Moss’s explosive, empowering narrative is grounded in meticulous, eye-opening research.
He takes us into labs where scientists calculate the “bliss point” of sugary beverages, unearths marketing techniques taken straight from tobacco company playbooks, and talks to concerned insiders who make startling confessions. Just as millions of “heavy users” are addicted to salt, sugar, and fat, so too are the companies that peddle them. You will never look at a nutrition label the same way again.”
https://b-ok.cc/book/2027397/8cd0b2
Big Food is not the only group of powerful institutions & people you would be at war with.
The global market for weight loss products and services should grow from $254.9 billion in 2021 to reach $377.3 billion by 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.2% during the forecast period of 2021-2026.

Not as big as Big Food, but $BIG$ enough to destroy you one way or another.
You’ll also have Franken Food junkies to deal with who don’t care about any of it. They just want their cheap legal pleasures.
Fat shaming? Naive & child like. What’s your next plan? Take away people’s allowance for littering?
Anyone who goes over their daily CO2 ration gets grounded for a week & no TV!?

Then there’s the emotional wall that so many humans never get to look over the top.
That feeling all humans feel – when you just feel you’re right. Everyone feels it, but only a minority seem to be able to harness their neocortex & think beyond the emotions. Without these people we would have no science.
Some people, no matter how much evidence you show them to the contrary, still equate feeling with knowing. They go through life believing their feeling constitute evidence. Except for writing good sci-fi & monster movies these people have contributed nothing to society, the world or humanity. In fact they are a handicap that has prevented human progress. We have all this power, yet still have one foot in the animal world because too many humans are guided by their primitive emotions & are terrified at the thought of letting go & changing, evolving. Either they go or we’re done. Change of die. Adapt or die. That is the story of life on earth & extinction almost always wins.

Right, once again, this time slowly, so even you can follow… My point was that the West successfully eradicated smoking to a large extent and at least expelled it from public space. When I was a kid almost every adult smoked, my teachers were smoking during teaching, everywhere there was that blue qualm. I have been working in backwards Germany in the nineties in rooms with colleagues who were smoking, until that ghastly practice finally stopped after 2000.
I quit. The final blow was the cost. Huge taxes. 40 year smoker. I’m not worried about cancer. If cancer shows up when I’m old, I’ll eat that shit for breakfast then ask for seconds
Most people I know who quit did so due to cost as #1 reason. It’s $15-$20 Canadian for a pack of smokes (20 cigs) now.
Now go sit on the edge of your chair and hold on to the table… WHY do you think the Canadian government imposed such high taxes, that it even made addicted, nihilistic lung cancer monkeys, people who can hardly carry their own weight, like you, to quit smoking?
Well…?
[insert drumroll here]
Let’s assume you figured out the answer all by yourself… maybe you could even follow the train of thought, namely that a hefty sugar tax could accomplish the same as the nicotine tax did. How about 5 dollar candy bars, with pictures of a skull printed onto it, labeled “sugar kills”? The same with these horrible sugar waters, like Coca-Cola.
The point to make is that obesitas is very easy to verify. Let’s begin with matching the price of a health insurance with your BMI, shall we?

If you know an Anglo, treat him like a Soviet… or a Dodo, like a species that is soon going extinct. Make him a cup of tea, give him a pat on the back, anything to show your empathy. These folks rose to geopolitical prominence, thanks to the clash of the real giants of the white race, the Germans and Russians. And of course thanks to oil and gas.
Unfortunately, that exceptional event that was WW2, gave them the false impression that they were the natural owners of the world. They soon are going to find out that is not the case. The English love to imagine that their tiny 80k army is one of James Bond’s only, and not Dad’s Army:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYz2nPE0BCk
We will soon find out the truth. I expect behavior like in 1940 Norway and France: running real hard away from the enemy, they took on first… so they had to wait to be bailed out by the Americans and Soviets, who stripped them of their empire, after which Blighty claimed it won the war until today, to everybody who wants to hear it.
It now looks everything might spin out of control. China has said too often it wants to take Taiwan back, so it dug itself in a hole, where it is obliged to its own status as a superpower to finally climb out, make its move or lose legitimacy in the eyes of its own population. America looks weak with the dementing fool “at the helm”. Australia has been making panicking noises for quite some time. BoJo’s Brexit is going nowhere, so he needs to make a desperate flight forward into foreign adventurism in order to look important again. Europe would like to sit out the coming storm while doing nothing, all the while being very dependent on fuel deliveries from the world’s hot spots: Russia and the Gulf. Could be a very cold winter coming up, with little amounts of fuel.
And nobody is talking about the mightiest wild card, China has: North-Korea. The country with the fourth-largest army in the world, with 86 subs (more than the US) and with nukes. China can outsource a lot of dirty work to Kim, like overrunning Seoul in 48 hours and throwing the US out of South-Korea. China can use NK to throw out the Americans from South-Korea and let NK explode a nuclear device in the vicinity of Japan above the ocean, to keep that country neutral. So China merely needs to concentrate on Taiwan, the Philippines and Guam in order to expel the US from Asia completely. The Philippines could be the only country witnessing direct Chinese-US confrontation.

https://www.rt.com/news/540351-china-us-global-wealth-race/
According to McKinsey data, the new wealth pecking order is:
China: $120T
USA: $90T
Between 2000-2020, China’s net worth 7-folded, where the US “merely” doubled.
Despite all the egalitarian “communism” talk, in both China and the US, 2/3 of the total wealth is in the hands of the 10%.
China is not ready to take over the world, the US certainly isn’t, although it still tries (and fails). But China is meanwhile strong enough to assert itself in East-Asia.
At the cost of the US.
And Taiwan.
And Australia.
With North-Korea the laughing third.
And Japan swapping the US-occupier for “respectful neutrality” vs China.
For Europe, things couldn’t be better. If BoJo is stupid enough to invoke Article 16, he will have to deal with a trade war with the EU, which will pave the way for Europe to quietly distance themselves from our 1945 Anglo friends and improve relations with Russia.
