most pointedly fat is the primary ingredient in brains, which are used for more sophisticated activities—an organism without fat cannot plan or coordinate.

most famously fat is a store of resources built up in rich times and drawn down in lean times. but it's also a protective layer against external shock, an anti-wear substance distributed throughout the system, it both retains and generates heat for homeostasis—and these uses do not consume it!

"what if we found the shittiest little rich boy in the land, waited until he was infinity years old, gave him the unlimited power of life or death over his fellow creatures, and—get this—let him delegate that power without review to anyone who jangles some keys in front of his face" seems bad!

it is not like. a weird mistake! the minimum viable amount of fat for a critter is not zero, and the optimal level of fat is not the minimum viable level.

a question worth periodically reflecting on is why organisms have fat in the first place

I think it’s wild how thirsty the whole thing is. Like, nobody can stop you from pirating, that’s kind of the whole story of piracy. Nobody can stop your friend group from being all in on piracy. But these folks seem to want even authors to endorse their actions. Why?
