What would you think about a deep fake depicting secret video footage (from a cell phone) of real climate scientists at at a real conference discussing how they are manipulating the data to convince the public and the lawmakers that climate change is a real phenomena. This deep fake would contain real people who really are climate scientists who really did attend a conference together. Its just that this discussion never took place. It was created by deep fake technology.

This type of scenario seems like a very real concern to me. You can extend this example into practically any hot button issue.

Or maybe instead of throwing more money at the problem we can face up to the fact that our democratic system is broken. That these institutions have been politicized over the years and are being run by people who are good at playing the game versus being good at their jobs.
But you didn't answer the parents questions. How far back do you go? Humans and the societies they create have been doing horrible things to each other since they existed.

Personally, I have ancestors on both sides of colonial history. So am I holding the knife that is impaled in my back?

In the particular context of the article. These events happened during the victims life so justice seems much more clear cut in this case.

Haven't looked at the original study, but from the article

>>>In terms of the actual difference eating 2 servings a week would make to an individual's baseline risk of CVD, the researchers calculated:

processed meat: you would increase your risk by 0.4% over 10 years, 1.02% over 20 years and 1.74% over 30 years

red meat: 0.17% over 10 years, 0.41% over 20 years and 0.62% over 30 years

poultry: 0.20% over 10 years, 0.54% over 20 years and 1.03% over 30 years

Those numbers are assuming 2 servings per week. How many meat eater limits themselves to that few of servings?
You should really include that this was under the assumption of only 2 servings a week, where a serving is about 3.5 ounces. I wonder how the rates change when you assume 2 servings per meal, which seems more in line with peoples actual diets.
