Yes, in many facets of their lives.CKinnard wrote:Nobody, the older I get the more I realize the great majority of people, even the super smart, are very unconsciously locked into cultural norms.
That's my belief. The weaker in this case are the fortunate. They get to change earlier while their body is more likely to recover and are young enough to accept change. The stronger get locked in their ways for longer and find out the truth often when it's too late.CKinnard wrote:I suppose if some people don't feel particularly horrible, they keep doing what they always have.

Thanks for the thought. But here is my point of expression.CKinnard wrote:At some stage Nobody, you want to think about doing talks to WFPB groups about your journey. Sure, you'll get asked a lot of silly questions, but you'll be doing great good.
Most WFPB groups are probably CHIP related and my lifestyle - from the little I understand from the guy at work - is quite different from theirs and probably most WFPB people. My journey talk would mainly be of benefit as a warning example.

I was a B. Most people are C's I think...
