A lot of processes in the body are cybernetic in nature. There’s a target value and then the body tries to maintain that target. The body both has indirect ways to maintain the target by setting hunger, adrenalin or up/down-regulate a variety of metabolic processes.
Herman Pontzer work about how exercising more often doesn’t result in net calorie burn because the body downregulates metabolic processes to safe energy.
Calorie-in-calorie-out also isn’t great at explaining the weight gain in lab animals with a controlled diet.
To state “wealth is income minus expenses” does not in any way mean that you are denying how guns, factories, and computers might play a role in wealth accumulation.
That model doesn’t explain why Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk are so rich because both have very little income compared to the wealth they have.
