EVERY TIME SOMEONE BRINGS UP THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA I GET SO ANGRY.

[tuxedoandex-deactivated20200116]

but why

[faith-n-reason-deactivated20191]

Because it got burned. All of that knowledge, lost forever.

The library was destroyed over 1000’s of years ago. The library consisted of thousands of scrolls and books about mathematics, engineering, physiology, geography, blueprints, medicine, plays, & important scriptures. Thinkers from all over the Mediterranean used to come to Alexandria to study.Most of the major work of civilization up until that point was lost. If the library still survived till this day, society may have been more advanced and we would sure know more about the ancient world.

Oppressed People: Society treats me unfairly and I never feel safe.

Privileged People: Unless it’s literally every member of a privileged group bullying you, you need to shut up and accept it, otherwise you’re just as bad as them.

Let’s put the association between weight and mortality into perspective, shall we?

Excessive drinking increases the risk of developing head and neck cancers by a factor of 5 and increases the risk of liver disease by a factor of almost 10. [source] 

Smokers are 25 times more likely to develop lung cancer (the leading cause of death in the US) than non-smokers. [source] 

Having a gun in the home doubles the risk of violent death for everyone in the home and increases the risk of suicide for men by a factor of 10. [source].

Children who live in low-income families suffer 3 times the risk of all-causes mortality compared to children who are not raised in poverty, and experience 5 times the risk of death by homicide. [source]

Seniors who experience food insecurity due to poverty have double the risk of congestive heart failure, heart attack, asthma, and mental illness. [source] 

And what about fat???

Some studies report that being fat increases the risk of all-cause mortality by a factor of about 1.5. [source]

Yet even this weak association disappears or is even reversed (yup, fat people often live longer than thin people) when fruit and vegetable consumption, physical activity, and socioeconomic status are duly accounted for [source] [source] [source]

Weight is not the most important predictor of health and mortality. Not by a long shot.
