I think it would be to take a step back from the specific and move to the general.

In other words...

take the priority off the question of should I eat keto or low carb or get rid of food dyes or whatever and say, and you asked me this question earlier, how do I as an individual and how should we as a society make the best decisions in general

How do I evaluate things in general?

And let's start by committing to that, committing to doing it rationally, intelligently, honestly, through science.

and then say, what would it take to do that better?

And let's explicitly not think about, for the moment, keto or carbs or fats or ultra-processed or protein, and let's think about X and Y. Because when we think about X and Y, we can leave our emotions at the door a little bit and come up to these generals and say, this is how I would think about it if it was X and Y. And then later, when you say, now let's think about keto,

and I get emotional and I say, blah, blah, blah, blah, or protein.

And you can say, David, hold on.

Remember six months ago, we went through this with X and Y and you said, this was a good way to make decisions.

Let's apply that framework now.

And I think if we can start committing to doing that as a society, as individuals, and I think we already have that commitment in principle in the scientific community, but in practice, we're not doing as well as we should.

That's an important thing that Jay Bhattacharya, the current head of the NIH, is really pushing for.

We need to do better in being open-minded, in evaluating evidence fairly, in not stretching and exaggerating, and in correcting mistakes when we find them.

Thank you.

It's been fun.
