That's total cholesterol, not LDL-C. Different biomarker.

This totally confuses the situation. Both things are true: 1) Women are interested in attracting men 2) Women will filter and test men in that process So there's no contradiction. It's part of the same strategy for women. And it's pointless to berate them about this, even if you don't like it. They are not going to stop filtering or testing men, nor should they. Stop wanting women to make things easy for you. The idea that women are making it "as hard for men as possible" is also absurd. If this was the case, no guy would ever be getting laid. In reality, women give you indicators of interest. Smiling, laughing, attention, agreeing with your frame, physical touch, playing with their hair, turning their body towards you, and even just talking with you at all. If she's willing to just talk and be in your presence, that can be enough of a green light. Sometimes interest can be subtle. It's your job to recognize it. If she's feeling really bold, she may even initiate or lead things herself. Or she might just tell you point-blank what she wants. Although I would not rely on that.

Here's another scary thought: if AI eliminates all standard meritocratic justifications for power, then what decides who holds power? Who and how is it decided that you're in the top 5% versus 95%? Worst-case scenario, things devolve into a SD Red-esque might-makes-right situation. Power is given to those who can hold it, period.

Dude, no. Women are not trying to make things as hard as possible for men. If that was the case, things would be way worse.

Strictly speaking, you are infinity.

Yeah I remember that. I have personally stopped with ghee. I do my cooking with EVOO. It's probably genetics. 90% of this stuff is just what the good lord gave you. We're just tinkering around at the edges. 150 mg/dL is kind of high my dude, are you not concerned? That all makes sense to me. But it also shows that you can't rely on "I will never oxidize so I will be safe!!". No, you're going to oxidize. So pragmatically, an increase in ApoB is definitely a risk, even if you're doing all the right lifestyle things. It's just a question of how much.

I asked GPT a few more questions if you want to read through to get a more nuanced picture: https://chatgpt.com/share/683c8192-5910-800c-a591-22a2e75e2433 The punchline seems to be that there's a tradeoff between ApoB and oxidation levels. Saturated fat is going to drive up ApoB and LDL-C, but potentially reduce oxidization. Whereas seed oils are going to lower ApoB but drive up oxidization. So really it's a nuanced choice you've got to work out with your medical provider, depending on your unique situation. And you need to be testing. What's your lipid panel levels? ApoB was 58 mg/dL and LDL-C was 76 mg/dL for my last test. And I'm eating meat everyday.

Here's my results: https://chatgpt.com/share/683c8192-5910-800c-a591-22a2e75e2433 I don't see anything particularly new here. Of course native LDL-C itself has to become oxidized, we have known this for a long time: Also, the idea that you need to keep a balance of Omega-6 to Omega-3 is also not new. You could probably over consume seed oils, but this is hardly an indictment of the evilness of seed oils themselves. Open to pushback.

@RendHeaven fair enough. Ed is making some good points, but ultimately I suspect he is also still just rationalizing his vegan ethics.

I agree that taking a philosophical position of solipsism is not the same as awakening, yes. You could consider yourself a solipsist but still not understand the consequences of it.

Yes, that's the mindfuckery of God. You thought you were a finite human. You were so, so sure you were a finite human. You were so, so sure that it never even occurred to question it. That's how convincing the human experience is. But you are not ultimately a finite human, despite the fact that you can have a human experience. Both things are true: you are not ultimately a human, and yet pragmatically you can still pick up the phone and call your mom. That's how powerful a God-dream is. It's indistinguishable from reality. That's also imagination. Pragmatically speaking, the dream-character is not aware of all things. That is nessesarily true to create realness within the dream. But it's only true within the context of the dream itself. You just have to stop thinking you're a human and it makes sense. No finite-thing has awareness. God just exists.

That was me reflecting back to Carl-Richard’s his argument to make sure I understood him. Yes, you could fall into a trap of equating solipsism with the finite self. But that’s not what I am doing.

It does. You're just not yet understanding how radical the ramifications of Oneness are. Not only does perspective have existence, it's the only thing with existence. Anything you want to claim outside of perspective to exist requires perspective. You have never had an experience outside of perspective.

The One is infinity. So that's not a problem. Yes, you could say reality is limited to being One / infinity. I apologize on behalf of the universe.

I deny that I am a finite human self. An Absolute cannot be true only in certain cases, by defintion.

Solipsism is not a limit, it's the removal of all limits.

What happened that it almost killed you?

Solipsists: only one thread!

Only at this level of consciousness does that appear to be the case. Any “part” or individuation of infinity you suppose is actually Infinity as a Whole. That’s what it means to be infinity. It’s fractal in nature. You’re not really a “part” at all. It’s just the Infinite Mind of God, which is your Mind. That’s what is Absolutely True. Which is what solipsism is about.

Good talk. Lots of anti-establishment brain rot out there.

Then you’ve just circled back to your original problem. When you say you’re not in control, you assume yourself as finite. But you’ve never proven that.

You can’t prove that either. Where are the other shows?

No, not solipsism debunked. When you assume your will is not ultimate, you assume a separate, finite self. And yet you cannot prove the existence of such a self.

You got that wisdom rizz

Anything can work as long as the vibes are good, she trusts you and you solve logistics + lead. That’s the winning formula, no matter how you accomplish it. Flash game is definitely a trap though. Most good game looks like you’re not doing much at all. Think invisible game, not flash game.
