Thoughts on a Second Stimulus
That seemed uncharitable. It's very rude to call someone a coward, and he didn't back up the accusation very well. Not liking to try new foods is not a quality that deserves such an insult. Maybe you figure out what foods you like after 78 years. Polyamory doesn't seem like the choice of an emotional coward to me. And I think that avoiding unnecessary social conflict is an admirable quality.
Buffet is a moron- doesn't he know that his diet is going to kill him?
Maybe he has decided that the utility he gains from his favorite foods exceeds the expected utility from the likely decrease in length of life.
@Ward: A moron? He is 78 years old and NOT dead? Your argument is like saying: You are a moron, don't you know that passing time will one day kill you?
If he likes it, let him kill himself.
Buffet does live in Omaha, Nebraska. That is not exactly a hotbed of culinary adventure or cosmopolitanism.
If you asked a lot of Midwestern folks what they like to eat, they would probably answer about the same things. Perhaps Buffet is just a Midwesterner in his culinary appetites?
