@Sempiternity Of course the best way would be to try and talk them out of it. But as you said it won't always work. I wouldn't really call it unhealthy green, rather unrealistic expectations.

There are all kinds of interesting people on this wonderful forum, yourself included.

Yes, I did read both part 1 & part 2; excellent posts.

"Compared with men who rarely eat eggs, men eating even less than one egg a day appear to have twice the risk of prostate cancer progression. And, men who consume two and a half or more eggs per week—basically an egg every three days—may have an 81 percent increased risk of dying from prostate cancer." https://nutritionfacts.org/topics/eggs/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5472048/#:~:text=Eggs%2Fcholine,-Few studies have&text=In the HPFS%2C men who,risk of lethal prostate cancer. I'm currently eating about 3-4 eggs a day 7 days a week. Since it's such an easy protein addition and I really like them. Even though this research wasn't completely bulletproof, it does however hint at the direction. Should I be considering cutting them out of my diet? And do you guys eat eggs?

Well, he did do a 5g mushroom trip last year. Perhaps he will push it further, but I doubt it. He's still denying what he was shown on that trip. It would take years of tripping for him to fully break out of his logical mind-frame. And of course, he would need to publicly come out and say he was wrong in every way, which he will never do. And with a fanbase of his size, no way.

Interesting. I was sure there would be some studies countering this claim. Yes, I read that in your e-book. Thanks for that btw, was very informative. What are your thoughts on people not eating enough salt? (not sodium). I read some Harvard research paper time ago saying people aren't consuming enough salt, but not table salt, rather mineral-rich salts such as Pink Himalayan or sea salt. Does that go for healthy fats as well? Such as peanuts, extra virgin olive oil, avocadoes, etc? I was afraid of this. But I'd be willing for the sake of my health, and I'm always dead tired after eating eggs anyways. The more knowledgeable I become on food the more it sounds like vegetarianism and veganism are the way. Or at least cutting radically down on animal products. Thanks for the detailed answer! I'd honestly rather quit them than boil them. I really love scrambled eggs.

I've dabbled in krav maga and could tell you there 95% chance that I won't work in a real-life situation, and BJJ won't help at all against a gun or a knife. You'd have to be special forces trained first of all to handle the pressure of the situation. Most krav maga students haven't faced a serious threat and when a life and death situation arises, they tense up and forget their training. Even a navy seal or the British SAS would have a hard time dismantling a knife attacker and certainly a gun attack. Most of them advise to let the robber get what he asks for, it's not worth the risk to fight back. I'd rather opt for a large hunting knife. They're smaller and way scarier. I believe I could defend myself against a bat or a golf club by getting close after the first swing. With a large scary knife, nobody is coming near you. The idea of getting stabbed is way scarier than a bruise from a bat or a golf club.

Right! It feels so good and relaxing.

@BlackMaze I've not done it yet. I'm aiming for this week or the next one. I'm pretty comfortable with psychedelics after having tried so many of them, but I'm also aware that Salvia is way different. If I had balls I'd have done this a long time ago, yet having balls can also be foolish.

Well, that's the orange side of him as I mentioned. In the latest 60 minutes interview he did, he sounded pretty yellow. I look at more how he thinks and articulates ideas rather than what he stood for when he was in power. There are too many forces at play to know for sure whether that's what he truly wanted or not.

Do you think this is because he's more in touch with green rather than Obama's more yellow way of looking at things? granted Obama was also orange/green in many aspects. I feel like he was quite ahead of his time in office, and he probably would've been more effective if he was in command around 2040. I do agree that Biden will probably commence a more radical change.

I've been contemplating recently if I should be attempting another Salvia 60x hit. The last time I did it I was too conservative with my dosing I feel like. I was hoping to get a peek through the door without hitting the insanity of the full Salva experience. But I feel like if I've got something left to fear then I'm not really ready for it. And I feel like I'm ready to hit a big enough dose to get the full experience Salvia has to offer. There is still a little part of me that's saying "don't be playing with fire like that", it's only until shit has hit the fan where you realize you ought to have treaded more carefully. But I'm willing to take that step...or so I think. These trip reports range from so much variety sine this substance is very well known, and mainly because it's somehow legal in some U.S states which just boggles my mind. I've tried to sort the wheat from the chaff of these experiences and there seems to be a lot of potential for a good nondual trip, especially after using psychedelics a lot, so I'm quite comfy in that space and can navigate pretty well. Most reports talk about how brutal of an ego-death it causes. It's not like other psychedelics where your mind slowly untangles and the ego fades. I've heard everything from "the universe hunts you down and kills you until there's nothing left" to "FBI! open up, you are tripping!". Quite the stark contrast I'd say, lol.

That's a good story for a rainy day. I'm sure you don't regret any of it.

Lmao, as long as it's god's asshole, I'm fine with it.

I won't need the book in 5-10 years since I will have joined you in the black hole likely. But I'll buy it for support and out of appreciation for "you" leading me there.

This ☝️☝️

Why not include a little leg and hip as well, since most of us sit so much. Mine can range from 30-70min; just finished an hour session right now. Really depends on the day and if I feel like my body is in the mood. I've found listening to your body to be the key factor here. I'm exactly the same when it comes to stretches. What I did now was I gathered a bunch of info from videos, then I just proceed to do any stretches I feel like doing, and I don't allow myself to skip more than 2 days usually. I'm probably stretching 6 days of the week, most often for 30 minutes after a workout. If you're having a hard time sticking to it try and pick a specific time in the day where you always stretch no matter what. I feel like setting a goal is what is keeping me from procrastinating on it. I understand this all too well, and usually, I have to reach a point where I'm so slumped that there's no choice but to start moving my body. You can also ask yourself why do you want to move? and whatever reason you come with, you bring that up every time you feel like you should move but can't find the willpower to do so. Awesome! great that there are more calisthenics folk on this forum. I used to practice MMA and BJJ many years ago for some while. But I enjoy ball sports such as basketball and football (soccer) more and I've played basketball most of my life, but not for the last 5 years. I don't really have any reason for wanting to learn the splits other than it being useful in some calisthenics moves. May I ask how long you've been doing calisthenics, and what "level" you're at?

@mandyjw I love the pigeon as well, it's so relaxing and you can stay with it for a long time. Too lose for running? That's the first time I've ever heard of that being a problem.

Yes, but I'm careful with not doing too much. I take days off or go easy some days when I feel really sore, but since I'm on creatine I don't feel sore often since I recover pretty quickly. What is your front splits routine like? Do you have a specific program you follow?

@Vxvxen Nice! I've not been doing my meditation practices since I started stretching so I'm looking forward to seeing the difference. You got me! Literally been binging his videos ever since I started, lol. Join the club! Don't really have any specific routine other than working on the middle split itself every other day. But I do most of the basic leg stretches daily and try and hit every muscle. how so? @nistake It sure is.

I'd love to see Leo on Sam's podcast. I'm sure Sam would be up for it.

@Alastair Just wanted to say hi before you get banned. ?

@Average Investor Awesome! Do you notice any improvements in meditation if you stretch before vs not? @JohnnyAb I used to use a roller as well until I got a massage gun. Those rollers are great tho, I might have to start using mine again. Feel like it digs a little deeper than the gun. @Michael569 That's my favorite stretch! Really opens up your groin and hips. @Preety_India Yeah, sometimes It's great to enjoy being a little bit of a slob in the fitness aspect. We all fall victim to that from time to time.

@Zigzag Idiot Hope you're doing well my friend. ? A good psychedelic trip can often help resolve any issues if they've become too much of a problem. And lastly, what would love do?

I personally didn't get much benefit from it but my friend swears by it. And I can not for the life of my drink it. It's possibly the worst tasting drink I've ever tried.
