Apply Rational entrepreneurial thinking for a healthy outlook

People worry about all sorts of things. This is explained by something called negativity bias which manifests more strongly among people who score high on neuroticism. It's possible to suppress negativity by applying rational entrepreneurial thinking (RET). If all Americans become vegans. It would cause a reduction of 2.6%. In the United States 150 years ago, when the prairie flourished due to ~ 60 million roaming buffaloes. It's about the Biogenic Carbon Cycle. If regenerative farming is applied, livestock help to improve the top soil. A recent article, which reviewed 18 other articles, concluded a correlation (and possible causation) between consuming meat and mental health. 2 sidor.

People worry about all sorts of things, e.g.that the climate, through heat waves and floods, will cause the ending of world.

This is explained by something called negativity bias (Baumeister et al. 2001) which manifests more strongly among people who score high on neuroticism - worrying about the future (Big Five, one of five dimensions in The Big five personality inventory.

Due to media exaggeration of negative news (Pinker, 2018), peoples fear increases, and for some reason their fear is attributed by conforming to the idea that we can stop the ending of the world by abstaining from eating animal source food. Another rationale is that it will also improve health.

Its possible to suppress negativity by applying Rational entrepreneurial thinking (Österberg, 2021; Swedish). Its' on three factors:

• Epistemic vigilance (Sperber et al. 2010) - be suspicious of any message, and why someone is sending the message.
  
  
• Disjunctive reasoning - take all options into account (Stanovich, 2009).
  
  
• Numeracy - the foundation for rational thinking - is the ability to understand, reason with, and to apply simple numerical concepts (Brooks and Pui, 2010).

Abstaining from animal source food is associated with neuroticism, anxciety, and depression (Dobersek et al. 2020).

White & Hall (2017) tested what would happen with green house gases if all amerikans become vegans. It would cause a reduction of greenhouse gases by 2.6%.

An example that illustrates this is the United States. 150 years ago, the prairie flourished due to ~ 60 million roaming buffaloes (Hooper, 2013).

This is because of the Biogenic Carbon cycle:

If regenerative farming is applied, livestock help to improve the top soil (Rowntree et al. 2020).
