The context, which is always important, was too provide several counter examples of there being no obviously major impairment to intelligence that would make a person dumb and lazy.

Laziness is basically a myth/misunderstanding of the underlying cause. The use of the word is made in ignorance of the science.

Though I’ll admit, while high, my thinking is different, it isn’t dumber.

I don’t suddenly forget facts I knew beforehand. The speed at which I solve a puzzle would be slower, thus I wouldn’t operate heavy machinery, but that’s not because I have lost the knowledge of how to do so. It’s (partly) related to the altered state of the mechanisms that affect my perception of time (among other things).

For a supposedly pro-science website, there always so many (often proudly) ignorant takes on scientific research.

I think I’m just now starting to realize that by trying to avoid the arm chair quarterbacking amateurs that couldn’t perform anything they criticize people about (in athletics), I’ve just traded it for armchair quarterbacking of scientists about something they know nothing about. Yet here I am getting sucked into doing (almost) the same thing (with only a motivational difference of attempting to identify poorly constructed studies that will end up being fuel for the anti-bodily autonomy crowd.
