It appears that Ray has the false notion that, given good health, people are naturally creative and curious and will come to good solutions. I have never found this to be the case to any societally significant degree. The vast majority of people (?>99%), cling to paradigms regardless of their health or upbringing. For example, we've had democrats clinging to the Trump-Russia narrative, and then we've had republicans clinging to the personality of Trump. Koreans, who are in relatively great health compared to Americans owing to their diets, don’t question mask mandates.
The way people change paradigms is not by the introduction of truth that falsifies the paradigm, but by pressure that forces the person away from the paradigm. Most people who realize there is something wrong with the medical system do so only b/c they've had health problems, or a relative has had health problems, which the medical system made worse or refused to fix.
Even still, most people who delve lightly into alternative medicine, usually by recommendation (from friends, family, or a non-typical doctor), find a herb or substance that eases their health problem, and then they continue on as normal, paying into and supporting the existing medical monopoly that will eventually obliterate alternative options.
That the monopolists controlling the health systems want to obliterate alternative options should be apparent. They attempted it too early with Codex Alimentarius, an attempt to internationalize the outlaw of all non sanctioned substances. They were a little more subtle with Obamacare, which results in a forced standard care. Pharma benefits by forcing, by government mandate, consumers to use their cures/treatments.
By advancing alternative medicine, this mostly serves to:
-provide pressure releases for those who continue to support the system
-provide doctors options for giving their patients pressure releases, while still maintaining mostly standard care
And, these serve to support the system that will eventually force standard, pharma care.
I like the Ray Peat community b/c it tends to come with a distrust of mainstream. However, this doesn't prevent the solutions found or presented in this community from being exported without the attachment of distrust, and similarly benefiting the impending medical imprisonment by stabilizing the system that leads to it.
