okay, if you think gAI is a positive, that its "here to stay", and you're so proud of using gAI to write create art, claim it. Disclose when you use it to read, write, think, create. Have the integrity to publicly declare that you used gAI--its all the silence and secrecy that is so interesting.

If you squint really hard, this almost works as a reception of archaeology (one of the four fields of anthropology) in pop media. Regardless, we had a great time discussing this film and doing our best Thermian accents. Except me. I failed.

BMI is based on anti-Black race science....would highly recommend Da'Shaun L. Harrison 's incredible work....here are passages from their book 'Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness' they have also spoken about this on many podcasts, if u prefer that medium

At the core of the War on Drugs is the Black, and at the core of the War on Obesity—even if not as explicitly so—is the Black fat. Black ppl make up roughly 13 percent of the American population, but about 51 percent of America’s fat population. Obesity is determined by body mass index (BMI), something people have been taught is a direct measure of one’s health. Over two hundred years ago, a Belgian man named Adolphe Quetelet created what we now know as the BMI. Quetelet was not a physician, nor did he study medicine in any capacity; Quetelet was a mathematician and a sociologist, and it was that on which the BMI was created. Quetelet is known for his envisioning of l’homme moyen—an image of what he understood to be “the average man”—which he developed through “the measurement of human features with the deviation plotted around the mean.”16 He began the development with the use of physical features of the human, who—at least as his work suggests—he understood to be cisgender white men.

What he had created was the standard for male beauty & health, built only with white Europeans in mind & determined by something that measured whole populations & not individuals. By the twentieth century, Quetelet’s work was being used as the basis of, & justification for, eugenics. And though all of his work in that time period was based in anti-Black race science, he was clear that the intent of the BMI was to measure populations to develop statistics. Aubrey Gordon, creator of “Your Fat Friend” and author of What We Don’t Talk about When We Talk about Fat, wrote more on this in an online essay:
By 1985, the National Institutes of Health had revised their definition of “obesity” to be tied to individual patients’ BMIs. And with that, this perennially imperfect measurement was enshrined in U.S. public policy. In 1998, the National Institutes of Health once again changed their definitions of “overweight” & “obese,” substantially lowering the threshold to be medically considered fat
