This sounds like a stupid question, but I’m being genuine.

He is telling people to eat more meat, which sounds absolutely insane to me.

What qualifies him to give health advice ? Why are americans trusting him ?

    He spent his entire life literally destroying his mind. Is he bad because he is an addict? Perhaps not, but he has significant brain damaged because of the drugs.

    I am all for recovery but the truth is he will never have the mental faculties to be a leader because of his life choices. He will never be able to make a full recovery. That is not discrimination, that is just reality.

          They do, i know. Theyre not certain. The consequences depend on lots of factors. To disqualify someone because they used drugs without looking more into how it affected that specific person is fatalist bullshit.

        When oxygen to the brain is habitually suppressed, brain damage can occur. That’s not fatalist, it’s just reality.

        That doesn’t imply addiction is a moral failing. It’s a disease, and diseases can have permanent effects.

          I agree brain damage CAN occur. Thats not the same statement i was criticizing.
