Lean Mass Hyper-Responder

The term "lean mass hyper-responder" was coined by software engineer David Feldman on July 3, 2017 while posting in his low-carb diet blog: "Cholesterol Code." The blog post called "Are you a Lean Mass Hyper-responder?" quickly circulated through the low-carb community.

As background, the original term "hyper-responder" was already used by dietary professionals for years prior to Feldman's blog post. And in dietary literature, a "hyper-responder" is someone who adopts a low-carb diet, then experiences dramatic cholesterol elevation. So when Feldman wrote his 2017 blog article, he co-opted "hyper-responder," and crafted his new term "lean mass hyper-responder" to describe what he believes is a metabolically unique sub-set of all hyper-responders. Specifically, some hyper-responders begin a low-carb diet while already in possession of a very lean body mass. And yet in spite of this, they still --quite counter-intuitively-- respond with extreme cholesterol elevation. Additionally, these subjects experience a marked decrease in triglycerides, while exhibiting excellent metabolic health. The entire phenomenon defied a long-standing metabolic theory called "The Lipid Energy Model," presenting a scientific conundrum for Feldman.

Feldman believed that all this was a significant observation worth exploring. And his efforts eventually led to a 2023 research project called "The Lean Mass Hyper-Responder Study" led by Dr. Matthew Budoff and Dr. Nicholas Norwitz at Lundquist, UCLA.

IN A SENTENCE: "Steve has always been a tall, skinny, beanpole of a guy. And then when he went on the carnivore diet, he was still skinny, but his cholesterol went through the roof. His doc said that overall he's pretty healthy, so he might just be a lean mass hyper-responder."

Remove the 'responsibility' and the credit

That's what you WANT to do but ARE NOT GOING TO DO fat bald Matt.

Hym "You WANT to remove the 'responsibility' and the credit but you are NOT DOING TO DO THAT and instead you're going to do THIS: You're going to pay for the shit you stole. You're going to give me the credit I deserve. And then your going to use my tax dollars to feed your piece of shit kids. And in doing so, you're going to subtract 1 act of violence from the net total of acts of violence that will inevitably happen throughout the course of history. You could have stopped the other ones but you were too busy arguing about a God you don't believe in. You CAN change the stalking laws. You already have harassment laws. If I didn't already have plenty of evidence that you YouTube fucks don't actually give a fuck about with or not this gets someone other than me killed, I'd already be in prison or dead. You interpretation this correctly. You aren't doing anything other than hiding your own petty obstinacy so you can keep your fucking YouTube following. Stop trying to swindle me. Stop pretending. Act in accordance with the values you purport to have and do it in my direction. Because this isn't it. It isn't teaching me a lesson. It is the thing I said it was in explicit terms."

NWS Quick Response Team (QRT)

A specialized team of engineers, experienced meteorologists, and other experts tasked with assessing tornado damage, especially when a tornado is suspected to exceed EF3 intensity (i.e., EF4 or EF5). In accordance with NWS policy, these teams include wind engineering experts to help ensure accurate ratings for high-end events. They are requested by local NWS offices through their respective regional headquarters, which include the Western Region (WRH), Central Region (CRH), Southern Region (SRH), and Eastern Region (ERH).

A regional NWS Quick Response Team (QRT) determined that this was an EF4 tornado, with a well-constructed home being swept clean from its slab and its debris broken into small pieces and carried 50 to 200 yards.

Argumentum Ad Responsabilitatem

A form of Miranda Bias where one shifts responsibility for an argument, claim, or situation onto the opponent, typically by demanding they take responsibility for something they didn't cause or can't control. The fallacy lies in misplacing accountability—treating the person pointing out a problem as responsible for solving it, or the person documenting harm as responsible for preventing it. "If you're so concerned, why don't you do something about it?" becomes a way of deflecting criticism without addressing it. This fallacy allows those with power to avoid accountability by shifting attention to those without power, demanding that critics solve the problems they merely identify.

Example: "When she documented the environmental damage, the company responded with 'if you care so much, why don't you clean it up?' Argumentum Ad Responsabilitatem: blaming the messenger for the message."
