Researchers at the University of Texas have announced trials of a new drug called CPACC, which has proven to stave off\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-covid-30-americans-pack-on-the-pounds-during-covid-19-new-report-says\/\" title=\"The COVID 30: Americans Pack On The Pounds During COVID-19, New Report Says\">weight gain<\/a> in mice no matter \u200dhow much they stuff their fat little rodent faces. The drug works by inhibiting the flow of magnesium through the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell. Excess magnesium seems to slow the mitochondria\u2019s\u200d ability to burn calories. By mimicking the deletion of the protein-coding gene that controls the flow\u2063 of magnesium, the drug effectively increases the body\u2019s metabolism. Clinical trials in humans could begin as soon as October.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Illusion of a Magic Pill<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Much as this dazzling scientific feat\u200c might tantalize obdurate butterballs, one doubts how much people really stand\u2063 to benefit from Rube Goldberg alchemy \u200dwhen they could achieve the same end by simply abstaining from cupcakes. Obesity weighs on certain psyches more than others, and people struggle to develop the discipline to avoid gluttony. But a magic pill will never solve the problem of obesity because obesity \u200cis only the outward symptom of a deeper problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Addressing the Root Cause<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Modern society, entranced by liberal \u2062materialism, often confuses \u2063symptoms for causes. Hence the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/scientists-discover-a-magic-diet-pill-that-will-make-fat-people-miserable\/\" title=\"Scientists find diet pill that causes discomfort in overweight individuals.\">recently \u2063disproven \u201cchemical imbalance\u201d \u200btheory<\/a> \u2064of\u2062 depression, according to which misfiring cerebral pistons make us blue rather than the other way \u2064around. Instead of working\u200b on their marriages, reconciling with their fathers, finally finishing that degree, finding a job, or even perhaps going to church and recognizing the meaning in purpose in life, patients instead pop a few shrink-prescribed Xanax pills \u2063to get\u2063 them through \u2062the week until their next fruitless therapy session. Insomniacs no longer need to change\u200d their lifestyle; they \u2064have barbiturates. And now gluttons can avoid confronting\u2064 the causes of their compulsive eating because modern science has produced a pill for that too.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Downside of Pill Popping<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pharmaceutical companies market\u2063 such drugs as medicine, responsible tools for improving one\u2019s health. In fact, not only does pill popping not conduce \u200cto health; it actively undermines \u200dit. \u2064Because man is no mere bag of chemicals, and physical ailments that arise from habit signify deeper problems pertaining \u200cto virtue \u2064and vice, which form and constitute our habits. Drugs might mask those problems, at least for a while. But by \u200dleaving underlying causes unaddressed, in the long run drugs only ever make those problems worse.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Deeper Issue<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The roly-polies reaching for \u200dthe\u200d CPACC pill consider \u2063pudginess the problem, while the \u200bmore insightfully obese recognize \u200bthat the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-morgan-wallen-first-interview-since-n-word-video-deplatforming-i-can-only-come-tell-my-truth\/\" title=\"WATCH: Morgan Wallen First Interview Since N-Word Video, Deplatforming: \u2018I Can Only Come Tell My Truth\u2019\">deeper issue<\/a> lies in the bad habits that \u2063made them fat in\u2062 the first place. But the core problem\u2062 lurks deeper still: in the \u200dconcupiscence that inclines us all to sin as a consequence of man\u2019s fall from grace. Atheists might recoil at the\u200d religious language, but even they can\u2019t deny the anthropological fact \u200cof \u200dhuman imperfection. Gluttons desire a \u200bbox of donuts because our \u2064first ancestor ate an apple.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/show\/the-michael-knowles-show\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH: The Michael Knowles Show<\/a><\/h4>\n<h2>The Natural Remedy to Vice<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quacks have sought quick fixes to the ills wrought by concupiscence since time immemorial. Wise men since at least the days of Aristotle have understood that a \u2064quick fix will never work because the natural remedy \u2062to vice\u200c is virtue. \u2064Natural happiness, then, comes by \u2064way of excellent rational activity in accordance with virtue. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Intellectual and Moral Virtue<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Aristotle distinguished between two kinds of virtue: intellectual and moral. The former involves excellence \u200cof thinking. We acquire intellectual virtue by taking classes, debating questions, and reading books. One can imagine \u200dsome technological advancement that would\u2062 impart intellectual virtue \u200cin a more immediate way, by \u200bplugging \u200cour brains into a computer, say, or even by taking a pill. Moral virtue, on the contrary, is harder won. No one attains moral virtue \u2062through\u200d books alone because its \u200bcultivation entails the \u2064disciplining of appetite and desire to accord with our reason, and discipline requires us to develop habits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Path to True Happiness<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The worst-off people ignore their bad\u200c habits. Their better-off brethren try to resist \u2064vice but often succumb, through incontinence, to temptation. Others, better-off still, successfully break\u2063 their vices through grit and perseverance. But happy people, who\u2063 have cultivated virtue, actually enjoy doing good things.\u200d One wonders today, in our decadent, skeptical, and impatient age, how many people even understand that the latter two states of being are possible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">CLICK\u2063 HERE TO GET THE\u2064 DAILY WIRE APP<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in\u200b this piece are those of the author \u2062and do not necessarily represent \u200cthose of The\u200d Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>bellies.
