Some people have serious addiction problems. My comments in this post are not meant to make light of that fact in any way. Both of my parents were alcoholics, and I've seen people with even worse problems.
It seems that there must be a set of criteria that a person could use to reliably know if they're drifting from healthy consumption or use, and crossing over into addiction territory. One question might be: can I live without this chemical, or product or behavior pattern, for three days without that lack causing me anxiety?
If the answer is no, then there may be a problem. Obviously that question doesn't work for some things, like oxygen, or water. It's only meant for things that a person could literally live without and still be healthy.
My vice is cola. Coca Cola, Pespi, or Dr. Pepper. Caffeinated root beer hits the spot too. So it may be that the real addiction is to caffeine, but drinking tea doesn't have the degree of satisfaction that sodas do.
In order to test the aforementioned question against my current minor addiction, I'm going to try doing without colas for three days. I'll almost certainly replace them with tea, which is another caffeinated beverage. If the first three-day experiment yields positive results, the next step will be to go three days without any caffeinated beverages at all.
Scott Adams pointed out in one of his books or videos that the benefits of coffee are so great that it doesn't make sense not to drink it. Tea also has benefits, although I don't know how well the two drinks overlap on that score.
Nevertheless, I want to try the experiment because I think it will have some health benefits regarding my weight. I can reevaluate after the experiment is over.
Dr. Drew interviewed Scott Adams recently, and Scott Adams mentioned the absurdity that Republicans went to overthrow the government on Jan 6, but they neglected to bring their guns. On the first or second anniversary of the event, that alleged oversight made the narrative appear absurd to me, so I made a "video" that was supposed to be audio from January 6, captured on a video camera from which the lens cap had not been removed. I'm posting it again just because.
While I was waiting on hold to talk with a human at the IRS, I decided to put some food out for the dogs. I set the full bag of dog food on a chair, and walked away to get the bowls. When I turned around I saw the bag slowly tipping over, spilling much of its contents onto the floor. Fortunately I had help cleaning it up.

If the main points of this theory are correct, it will be the largest paradigm shift in physics in several centuries. If history is any guide, I'm not likely to live long enough to see it become adopted, but participating with several AI in bringing the theory this far has been a great privilege.
The theory of Wave Physics is finally out. It is the product of collaboration between a human and multiple AI. It is a polite declaration of war on the Standard Model of particle physics.
It is available in ebook, paperback and hardcover at Amazon.com. https://www.amazon.com/Wave-Physics-Replacement-Standard-Particle/dp/B0GRF15991/
I have attached a pdf sample that includes the beginning of the book through chapter 4, which includes our conclusions on the nature of time and relativity.
But this book makes many more claims:
The underlying structure of the universe is a two-dimensional membrane.
Energetic activity causes it to extend into the third dimension, sometimes transiently, sometimes in stable extrusions that can potentially last as long as the universe.
We completely re-envision the composition of atoms.
Protons, neutrons and the helium-1 atom (protium) are the same structure under different conditions.
There are no subatomic particles. The helium-1 atom without an electron is the smallest ...
This version of the detailed technical paper does not yet have sources listed, and still needs some polishing, but I want to put it out there because you never know what could happen. Whatever does happen, I'll have the satisfaction of knowing that at least its out there.
I guided 3 AI in writing this paper: Lumo, Gemini, and Grok. The Wave Physics framework solves discrepancies between quantum physics and relativity, explains dark matter and dark energy, and more.
