Proper sleep Saying this while running on 3 hours, again 🤦

The second part of this post is my "alien" experience

A real man can only be satisfied by the GOAT

bumping this post. It had some really good Nootropic insights if you read through it

Dem blog posts be seriously marinating rn 🤤

Are you gonna do a crash course on the stripped down version of Kriya? Looking to get back into the practice. I've got all the books but I feel it's overkill.

I would binge-watch Kill Tony podcasts for a few weeks for that reason. People come on stage and share their crappy, below-average lives. Makes it relatable, and the crowd loves them for it. When someone tries to play a character, they get booed off

Can you elaborate?

Sharp observation, it's actually a thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napoleon_complex One of many of the ego's compensation shortcut's for confidence and self esteem, even if fragile or inflated.

Finished a 72h 50mg dmsa+50mg ala round. I didn't have any vitamin E at hand and just gigadosed vitamin C to compensate. Turns out you can do DIY sodium ascorbste by mixing Ascorbic acid powder and sodium bicarbonate in water in a 2:1 ratio. Pretty amazing. It allows me to take in 10g+ of vitamin c per day without getting an upset stomach, really boosting my energy and improving sleep. This round wasn't specifically challenging or didn't feel a strong difference. I did feel spaced out and crashed for 6 hours after I missed a dose accidentally (night timer didn't go off) Coming off rond is super easy. After you finish your 72H round keep going for 4 more doses dmsa only to mop up residual heavy metals. Take 50mcg of selenomethionine every 6h for a day or two and 6ish sprays of zeolite nanoparticles every 4 hours for a day or two after finishing. I literally feel no negative redistribution symptoms coming off round. I may try a larger dose next round in a week or two.

The role playing is really cool if you're into that kind of stuff

Sorry to hear about your struggles. I've certainly gone through my own version of that battle for a good decade if not two. I'd like to mention that while yes, self-awareness is a net positive for dealing with addiction, many times counter-intuitively it can actually be the trigger if you're doing this kind of spiritual and self-actualization work and aren't prepared with the right tools. Since the Ego employs all kinds of self-deception mechanisms to get away with all kinds of behaviors for its own benefit and survival, shining the light of awareness on those self-deception mechanisms can trigger all kinds of nasty defense mechanisms and ego-backlashes, so to cope with the suffering we many times resort to addictions and distractions and eventually regression into more self-deception to get yourself back into functionality. If I could give my old self some advice, it would be to pace the spiritual and self-actualization work. There's a reason ignorant people often seem more "stable, peaceful and functional". They never destabilized their psyche in the first place. Once you start pulling back the curtain on your own self-deception, things can get pretty messy. Going too deep too fast will definitely overwhelm you and trigger exactly those defense mechanisms that pull you back into addiction. Do I'd tell myself to take it gradually rather than biting off more than I can chew. Trying to fast made me go slow for years.

So I've played around with it quite a bit over the past few years. My 2 cents: I've been using sugar as a nootropic for mental performance for a while now. It's jet fuel for the brain/body on an empty stomach or if you haven't eaten in a few hours as your brain mostly runs on glucose (or ketones if fasting/keto). I do it before important calls to stay extra sharp or before going out dancing / socializing . I literally have some candy in my pocket sometimes for repleting energy, just get smth that isn't junk. Having actual food when I'm out or dancing or about to have a call just messes with my performance and makes me sleepy sometimes. Apparently there's a golden ratio of how much glucose your body can absorb during a given period, which does seem to be true based on my personal experiments. Something like 50 grams per hour, or about 25 grams per 30 minutes ( note , if I just lifted weights this ceiling is way bigger ). If I go above that I get bad crashes like headaches, moodiness, etc and hit diminishing returns and actually the benefit goes away, just like too much coffee f*cks you up instead of giving you that nice high. ( I face the same problem if I take more than a 1/4th of modafinil or armodafinil ) Also, if I've been sedentary for weeks , haven't moved my body, haven't lifted weights or run then even a little sugar can make me feel tired and crash pretty quickly. But if I take care of my body by exercising properly, I can have as much dessert as I want. Basically you deplete your glycogen stores, so your muscle "sugar pockets" are happy to take that sweet goodness in rather than letting it spike blood sugar. BUT! SUGAR / CARBS desserts ONLY ! Mixing it with fats can be a knock out bomb. One thing the vid touches on that's worth noting: most "sugar" problems come from sugar COMBINED with fat i.e donuts, chocolate, ice cream, etc. Pure sugar by itself behaves differently in your body than when it's mixed with tons of fat. Way more problematic for insulin response and fat storage Table sugar is 50% glucose, 50% fructose. Fructose has to be processed by the liver. Dextrose is pure glucose, which can be used by your muscles and brain directly (hence the jet fuel analogy) without requiring liver metabolism first ( which is an extra step and is what the mainstream tends to demonize) Also remember that everyone is unique. Different genetics and health factors can mean highly different responses. Someone with insulin resistance or metabolic syndrome would need a completely different approach. SO yeah bush your damn teeth because cavities and gum inflammation caused by sugar are real. Especially before bed.

Bro wanted to go for the forbidden double dipping 💀
