    guns are the problem but that would be very naive.

    Meth isn’t the problem. The real problem is lack of dopamine that causes people to seek pleasure.

    A bad diet doesn’t cause obesity. It’s the person’s mental state that causes them to seek out food as comfort.

    The only problem with this viewpoint is that people are inherently fucking crazy and you’ll never ever fix that. So you need to restrict the things that allow them to hurt other people with their crazy. And when they’re going to hurt themselves with their crazy, you do your best to help coach and guide and support them.

      yeah I might not have said it in the best way but that’s pretty much what I meant. Taking away access now will be close to impossible, with how polarized everyone is.
