Thanks for this. Well said.
I have too little time for study, but when I do it's usually in the realm of theology--that's the priority for me, and I read both sides frequently (voraciously?).
We came to the carnivore position years before Ammous' book, as it drastically helped my wife's autoimmune conditions (full remission!) when nothing else helped. I rely on her to pass along signal in the health and fitness realm, she relies on me for theo/philo/econ realm. It's a joyful division of labor, each of us focusing on we are best at and most enjoy.
I agree it's good to reexamine core positions from time to time, but I also agree that "the purpose of having an open mind is much like having an open mouth--to shut it again on something solid." Some things are long settled in my mind. 🤙🏻
Either way, you've challeneged me to bump Graebers book up a notch or two on my "likely reads" list, and for that I thank you.
