Think I generally agree with your sentiment, but my understanding of how Ozempic works is that it kills your appetite. The "unhealthy lifestyle" you're referring to is one of overeating. Ozempic doesn't support a person to continue overeating, it removes the desire to overeat. From that perspective it is aiding people to become healthy.

Sure, yes it is aiding people to become healthy in that sense. Is it healthy to rely on drugs to change your thought and behaviour patterns? I definitely see this drug as a useful tool when combined with a plan to not continue using it for the rest of your life. I see relying on this drug continuously as a problem, thinking "oh, there's no need to try and change my behaviours on my own, this drug will do it for me."

> Is it healthy to rely on drugs to change your thought and behaviour patterns?

That is the same question people were asking about Prozac thirty years ago, with the same concern about continuing to use a drug for the rest of one's life. The idea may sound scary, but in practice people make a simple calculation: so long as the drug continues to make your life better, why wouldn't you continue taking it?

If a drug has zero side effects, than it is obviously healthy.

Ozempic has side effects, so we cna do a cost benefit analysis to argue that the various benefits of not being obese outweigh its problems. We clearly see many people are unable to loose weight without it, given nearly 50% of people are at an unhealthy weight, thus its likley a net positive.

42.8% of US adults are obese. Not overweight, obese. They will die years earlier form this, suffer many health problems, etc.

Until Ozempic, the US obesity rate has literally never declined since it started rising.

Thus people clearly are not loosing weight. What do you propose instead? Nothing else is working

I propose plans that involve the temporary use of medical tools like Ozempic that involve also changing your behaviour and living a healthier lifestyle, especially after losing weight

> involve also changing your behaviour and living a healthier lifestyle

Ah, so the same thing that has repeatedly been tried and failed every time everywhere around the world for the last 50 years. Yeah, let's just keep on giving that a go.

How do you feel about drugs prescribed for mental health (Prozac, Zoloft, etc.)? Why do you feel differently (if you do feel differently)?

It depends on the person. Major depressive disorder is an inexplicable depression that is not brought on by the circumstances of your life, I think SSRIs are a suitable treatment for that. I think that it's important to consider all factors of a persons life when deciding whether or not they should be prescribed medication that suppresses ALL emotion, not just negative emotion. Positive constructive therapy to help people better their lives ought to be considered in cases that may not necessarily be a disordered condition (i.e., they have a shitty life and need to be a better person to themself and others to be happy and feel good about themself)

Re Humane Ai Pin - did you never receive it because you cancelled your order? Or did you never onboard? There's a bit of an unusual process with ordering the Ai Pin where it won't ship until you "onboard" i.e. set up your account/service with Humane

What’s the goal of this? Front loading a frustrating web based setup, so the out of box experience can be smooth and seem magical? Is that the goal? Kind of like how Amazon can pre-register a Kindle with a user’s account if they select it while ordering.

You’d think this would be part of the order process instead of a completely separate and detached step.

I never onboarded. I should hunt through my emails though is what this makes me think of.

Where does the $560M number come from?

analyst estimates are that they sold about 160,000 units through preorders. At $3500 per unit, that's $560M.

> And the supercharger network is no longer an advantage as almost all EVs will now be using them.

Having more demand for the network means the network can grow and expand at a much faster rate and make it cheaper. That's good for Tesla drivers in the long term. And Tesla itself. Tesla making more $$ also filters back to the consumers through R&D and new products.

If EV is truly going to be everywhere then charging needs to be generic and everywhere like today's gas stations. Currently it's still very much a luxury type thing when you consider a lower-middle class person living in a skyscraper in a city (which is a ton of people these days). In urban areas you don't have the luxury of multiple separate gas station services, given the limited real estate. Having to drive longer distances to use one near your apartment for ex. The more the better.

The network was always going to become a commodity anyway. Why not establish yourself as the leader ahead of time?
