And I think that's where it gets really interesting because we have... You know, the certain understanding of eating and mental health, eating disorders, binge eating disorder. Right. And those are very, very complicated mental health disorders. But there are actually reports of religious figures petitioning the pope to say we need to take gluttony off the list. It's just it's really too much.

Yeah, there are. It's just a really sort of complicated, you know, complicated thing. And because we have such a moral, it has such moral weight, it's hard to change cultures. But just like the French did, when scarcity decreased, you can change cultural identity around culture.

gluttony so i think it's really interesting and gluttony has the way it's evolved over time is when the first thing i think of when i think of gluttony is seven and the second thing i think of when i think of gluttony is wall street oh sure oh sure right

So that's the thing that's actually more interesting to me about all of this is that it went from this thing that we were so preoccupied with food and having this moral failing, spiritual emptiness related to food. And now gluttony implies greed of other things, taking more than your share. How do you relate to that?

sin that's interesting i've never thought about the relationship between the two before isn't that interesting i think it's really interesting how do you separate gluttony from greed like gluttony is and maybe that's why we're you know we look at the changing impact of gluttony as a cardinal sin it's sort of already covered right right it's also already covered in lust right like uh you know we've got this sort of over indulgence in a thing and we have decided

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, okay.

Yeah, I can totally get that. And I think that's why we get so much. That's why I think about Wall Street, right? Right. That's why I think about this idea of gluttony and its relationship to capitalism.

Yeah, I can totally get that. And I think that's why we get so much. That's why I think about Wall Street, right? Right. That's why I think about this idea of gluttony and its relationship to capitalism.

And the change from feudalism to a capitalist market was a drive for power and acquisition and consumption, right? And that's sort of how we land here. where we are today, a consumerist society that has no real democratic, significant democratic ownership of goods. And as a result, we each need our own thing of everything that we have, and we need to consume

And when COVID strikes, we need all the toilet paper. We're in buttons for a toilet paper. Right. Like those those kinds of things, I think, are are a really interesting model for how we think of acquisition and consumption and frankly, continuous growth and profit. Right. Profit is we can be gluttons for profit, too. Sure. So it feels to me this is why I think this is so interesting.

Like if you look at the bell curve of like, you know, understanding of gluttony, it starts as a moral sin, but it's a moral sin to drive appropriate consumption of food because we can't produce enough food and people are starving. Then we figure out how to handle food. That changes in the Middle Ages a little bit.
