When in doubt water is always the best option.

The statement quoted is valid from a big image perspective. It's invalid from a narrow perspective.
You can invalidate any statement if you pick a specific perspective. Or validate any statement if you pick a broader perspective.

Computer Science than CERN - it's invented by minds that were invented.
Economics than Central Banks - it's invented by minds that were invented.
Minds are sneaky as this thread shows. Thoughts lead people to dark places. Analysis is cutting reality into billions of pieces using billions of tools / assumptions. All of this contains plenty of errors.

I am not talking about narrow views, but absolutism which is beyond comprehensions of 99.5% of people on daily basis. Maybe they get glimpses of absolutism when they go to sleep.

Defending statements won't take us far. Understanding psychology and how our psyche is tuned for survival can help with reducing narrow views and operating in close-minded paradigms. Authenticity isn't something we get by default. You can practice that and you won't give a damn about "being right". You'll be able to look at things from 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 perspectives.

Being non-authentic helps you survive in "clans" and "groups", and "cults".

It's difficult because you have to break through all those mind constructions, but then you get some freedom feelings and you can understand why AWS, Google and Microsoft are where they are. It's not because of focusing on science and mixing it with business. It's a lot harder to understand. They transcended beyond traditional culture stuff.

They have transcended the whole human paradigm and civilizations. They saw something few people could observe.
Big entrepreneurs and big tech aren't big because of "narrow focus" and "assumptions". You think big to get big.
And now their inventions now help science. It's a circular relationship.

If Elon Musk was too defensive and was fighting "to be right", he wouldn't buy X, he wouldn't build any of those companies. Fear would paralyze all his body systems that includes mind which causes narrow analysis which gets people stuck as well. Say "no" to help yourself with this. https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/how-to-become-a-millionaire-in-2023-for-real-only-thing-that-works.1448868/

There is a massive dehydration happening in the world and it causes people to get clustered in their minds.
The capitalism as a side effect (not plan) has created narrow-mindedness of people on things they don't need.
They hence forget to drink water and try to satisfy their dehydration with consuming foods and other things.

If your body gets dehydrated and you even have a little bit of that, your whole body reduces it's capacities and it starts to focus a lot harder on survival.

Then you get narrow views and more narrow views.

At one point you end up in a little, linear space in your mind that stirs emotions and that's basically like burning for your existence.

Dehydration is as close to hell for your body as you can get.

That's why I would avoid alcohol at all costs and focus on drinking as much water as you can.

Add some sweeteners to water and you can use split pills with caffeine for a cognitive boost. You can also use nicotine, but this one is more addictive and you cannot smoke it.

Before trying to mock me for posting a screenshot, which was just one, of thousands of potential options citing evidence that has basically been proclaiming year after year about the deletrious effect of energy drinks, consider you said this:
