Does a daily aspirin help prevent cancer?
Is running better for your health than other exercise?
[Will you live longer if you switch from a typical American diet to a vegan diet?][oops. Okay, mindkillers are everywhere.]
(For specific probabilities, add parameters, e.g., ‘live 3 months longer.’ Or ask what parameter value the 50% probability should be at.)
Vegetarianism/veganism vs. meat-eating is a mind-killing subject.
I think that if you changed “vegetarian” to “less meat”, it would no longer be mindkilling.
Ah. Point.
It’s still a good idea, though. If you changed it to, say, paleo vs. Okinawan diets, I think it would work fine.
