    I apologize for saying the whole ai thing. Because frankly, how precise you responded and how well you accepted anothers ideas came off as very strange compared to the typical internet interaction. I migjt just be too jaded to accept someome online as being a knowledge person without questioning it.

    Its saddening to hear about your family’s struggles. Again im sorry for downplaying your word to start with, but i will recommend you look more into the gut biome. Im not a researcher or sicenitist, i worked in construction and rebuilding peoples homes most of my working life. But i always had an intrest in health.

      Thank you, I appreciate that very much. I try to be accepting of other ideas and to be understanding. But sometimes it is difficult for me too. Especially if I get many negative reactions and I do not completely understand why (I do not mean you, but some of the other people that responded to me). Then I get defensive as well, even though I try not to be.

      Your work sounds nice and very useful! As a researcher, I know a lot about a very small set of subjects. Sometimes, I am wondering whether I am actually contributing enough and whether what I am doing is actually useful. When you are building homes, at least it is very clear who you are helping and how they benefit from it. I would not be able to do it. I have two left hands, as we say in my language. I am not good with the practical stuff, I am only good with theory.

      In any case, thank you for the discussion. I checked the gut microbiome out a little bit already and there is a lot of scientific work on it. Very complex and very interesting! I am looking forward to delving into that. I hope you have a nice day (or evening depending on the time where you are).
