Well, that's a nice pipe dream. ;)

I used to be an idealist myself. Then I smoked way too much weed and realized that people do not hear what you are saying. They hear your words being said by themselves.

Since people can't see what they don't know and basically just hear themselves talking I've since moved on to the long term tactic of echoing back to them with less noise. The hope being that if they really do only hear themselves, then eventually they might clue in as to what is going on.

No signs of hope yet...

The first sentence that pops into my head that starts with 'Dude!' is 'Dude, where's my car!'.

Take another look at that first response while not influenced by the later responses which were mimicking but also amplifying his tone.

Hey, notice I'm talking to you like you're talking to me?

Of course, it is the preffered form of combat for meatheads but is rarely used in martial arts.

Unless of course you know your physics and how to impart the proper force to generate the necessary torque to knock someone out by overloading their trigeminal or vagus nerve. Suprisingly doesn't require much force at all, and yet something that most fighters are ignorant of... well, except Anderson Silva.

Definitely nothing close at all to my experience growing up in Canada.

But hey, always best to talk to people in their native tongue.

Why, you sound like you know exactly what you're talking about. Why don't you just go pick up your $5,000,000 cheque?

Oh right, because you're just talking out your ass.

Read it.

Granted I'm some times a little fast and loose with the hyperbole.

Are we done now?

For the most part, western medicine treats symptoms, yoga eliminates the cause. I always wonder about cheerleaders of modern western medicine, it's like they're blind and can't see the horrible state that humans in western society are in.

While other societies might have come up with the idea of fasting, yoga wrote it down and had an explanation thousands, read that again, thousands of years ago. You shouldn't be so critical of things you know nothing about, after all, you do know where 'atom' came from don't you? No, obviously you don't.

I don't need to read things supporting what I say, and by replying to me you aren't informing your target audience.

The problem is that you know nothing about yoga and assume that it isn't formal and rigorous and full of experiments that one can repeat and get the exact same results all the time.

The problem with science and medicine is that they dumped all the people who intuitively understood the human body and how it works and left it all to the clueless eggheads to figure out. If you read the 'scientific' literature from the start, you can see where the shift happens. Right about where they had to actually do lots of experiments to try and figure out where the center of gravity of the human body is. Something that anybody with correct posture and an ability to do a handstand can tell you.

But hey, feel free to remain clueless about the deficits of modern medicine and science and keep on being ignorant of how to use your body properly. I'll give you a big hint here that even most medical doctors understand and is the reason for so many pills and external procedures, and the reason for your reaction: The average human doesn't care about learning how to feed or care for themselves properly, they do NOT want to take responsibility for themselves. They just want a solution handed to them on a silver platter. You know, exactly like you.
