It used to be that you could use a person's weight / appearance / level of physical fitness as a litmus test for their strength-of-will / self-respect and general level of intelligence.
Up until now you could look at a healthy-weight individual and deem them worthy of your respect but in just a few years we will have no idea whether they're naturally normal or an obese person's mind stuck within a drug-using normal person's body.
We're entering an era where the fat, obese and morbidly-obese people that you and I pass on the street every day will be on drugs (Ozempic and future derivatives) to enable them to become a healthy weight. People are literally going to be frauding just to look fricking normal.
How do we get ahead of the curve here? How do we ensure we don't accidentally respect, or engage with, a fat frauder rather than a person who actually has willpower? How do I retain the same sense of smug superiority I get when walking down a high street through a sea of disgusting fat people?

>How do I retain the same sense of smug superiority I get when walking down a high street through a sea of disgusting fat people?
why is this a bad thing? ugliness, and by extension obesity, should be eradicated. it would only be for the better if we improved the attractiveness of the general population. if the technology was possible, we should do the same for all other areas of life, like fixing manlets as well
>b-but I want them to stay fat/short/x so I look better by comparison
If the only way you can differentiate yourself from other people is physical descriptors then you are no better in the first place.
>no better in the first place
no better than them*
His point is that obesity is the result of bad behavior and instead of improving oneself as a person and developing things like discipline people will just take a pill. They will still be the same rotten person on the inside

If that were true then that would be made clear in other areas of their life as well, it's not like if they lack discipline in staying fit that they're going to somehow be disciplined in other areas as well. You still shouldn't hope they stay obese just for some since of superiority, like I said in
>If the only way you can differentiate yourself from other people is physical descriptors then you are no better in the first place.
If you can't show yourself to be better than them simply without taking their appearance into account then your claim that their weight is a description of their personality is irrelevant in the first place.
nta but while i agree that how you do anything is how you do everything and their lack of resolve will be apparent in other areas in life, their physical fitness was an easy and quick way to tell what someone was made of. now you will have to get to know someone, see them perform before you can judge whether they are competent and strong willed. so i understand OP's point
So... you're just indignant about the fact that you had to work for your results while others did it the easy way. What kind of childish mindset is that? You're fricking moronic, dude.
>NOOO!!! YOU CAN'T HAVE IT EASIER THAN ME, YOU HAVE TO STRUGGLE LIKE I DID!!! THIS ISN'T FAIR!!!
Fricking grow up, idiot.
Meh... As long as it gets results.
>How do we get ahead of the curve here?
The physiognomy and the general demeanour are still there.
Like when you see someone for the first time and just know they're wearing glasses even if they don't at the moment.
Or when you see a nicely and modestly dressed turbo prostitute and just know she's not the pinterest-old-money girl.
Or a fit guy who's still a nerd on the inside.
You just know.
I don’t care, because looks are just one part of a whole person, and usually someone fricked up enough to need to take a drug to not be obese will have myriad other issues that will be easily identifiable on first contact.
It's kind of insane how much being skinnier changes you. He went from fat israelite to Jason Statham's estranged little brother.
Ha, I was thinking the same thing. He seems very happy, too. That's always nice to see in a bleak world.
>super expensive
>can cause 3 types of cancer
yeah, nothingburger as always.

Do Americans really?
Are there a lot of morbidly obese scholars where you are?
I don't know what to tell you OP, if the thing that made you feel special can be encapsulated in a pill then maybe you were never that "superior" to begin with. If you truly want to feel superior then do something that is truly rare, something that can't be automated by AI in a few years or that can't be democratized by other means. People will seethe but not being fat is a low level achievement. Being unique and creating something new, maybe there's some value in that. I'm not telling you to give up on your desire to distance yourself from the masses, I'm just saying that this game of feeling superior because other people are fat is coming to an end, so find a new and better game to play.
>abusing drugs for THAT
they truly are the chosen people, chosen to be punished with the worst genetics
for most of the 20th century you could get amphetamine and nuke your appetite in a similar way to ozempic, also I never thought of a thin person that's not muscular or athletic as worthy of extra respect anyway
