Would you consider future generations to have rights equivalent to people living right now and thus we have have an obligation to protect the enviroment and generally live more sustainable?
Most arguments in university seminars we had regarding the ethical justification of measures like us no longer driving cars or eating meat were justified under the assumption future people are just as much deserving of consideration as we are, but even if that's true does that imply an obligation for us to actually restrict our own life to help strangers in the distant future?
How do you even legitimize stuff like that to the people actually most affected by it, i.e. the poor who already live a pretty shit life?
Feels like the usual ivory tower condescending bullshit ethicists love to spout, without ever considering people not agreeing with them

Germ vs terrain theory

>You are being systematically poisoned and starved of vital nutrients and this is the reason for your own, your family's and pretty much all disease you encounter, furthermore you do not catch illness from any germ you build said disease by eroding the basis for your biological terrain’s homeostasis. Germs can proliferate when we are ill, but they are neither contagious nor the cause as they are the lowest form of organisms and therefore the most dependent on their environment. Their function is to break down toxic, dead and dying matter such that it is reduced to its constituent biological elements for a new cycle of life to begin. In the process of breaking down toxic or dying matter however their own waste can be toxic. Specific microorganisms alleged to cause certain diseases are often present in healthy individuals causing no illness.

Male sexuality

What are the implications of their findings? I think they are congruent with a lot of Ancient societies' (Ancient Greece, Japan and Rome, for example), treatment of this "paraphilia" : it was not uncommon and tolerated.

>The current study is the largest to date to employ pedophilic stimuli and genital measures with men drawn from a community sample of volunteers. The current results suggest that sexual arousal to pedophilic stimuli occurs among a sizable minority of normal men who report no pedophilic behavior and is not necessarily associated with pedophilic behavior. Consistent with previous data (Barbaree & Marshall, 1989; Briere & Runtz, 1989; Fedora et al., 1992; Freund & Watson, 1991), 20% of the current subjects self-reported pedophilic interest and 26.25% exhibited penile arousal to pedophilic stimuli that equalled or exceeded arousal to adult stimuli.

Am i reading this correctly? Is he saying that i can make high-pressurised air with a slight fall of water as long as the distance between G and L is large? Am i missing something here?

That is my most important question. I am also wondering if the air shooting out of K would be constant or i would need some kind of weight-valve that would store up the airpressure until it is great enough.

I also don't understand why the water doesnt just go back up pipe E(to the level of L).
