Thanks for sharing the list of points you made in the recent video. I actually was going to ask for this list.

@Buck Edwards You can prompt it for prompts. Also, speaking to it like a person can create interesting results.

It depends how you are using it as well.

@LostSoul Enjoy!

If you objectively review someone actions from a calm, centred place and find them cheating, lying, defrauding, killing, stealing, raping, destroying, etc… maybe that’s a devil? But that isn’t demonizing?

One time I shot a lightning bolt out of my hand and knocked over a garbage can…

@The Crocodile hmm, I disagree.

@LoneWonderer Hey, sorry I didn't respond to your post directly right away. I think it's worth approaching demonizing others, and being honest with ourselves when we do it and see others do it. Self compassion, introspection, curiosity, patience are all key.

@The Crocodile Not necessarily. I wouldn't say it implies it absolutely.

Higher and lower are also relativistic terms. Perhaps calling people devils can be done from higher or lower positions and the highest of perspective would consider any calling people devils a lower perspective.

Good point. Though, I do believe subtle distinctions can exist here. Devilry is essentially selfishness and the result of lower perspective. Demonizing however is attributing bad Intention without understanding full the other side.

I find the pens pretty strong. Probably 10-15 breakthroughs on pen like that.

@Raphael When you are demonizing Nazism did you ever look at it objectively? Is demonizing nazism a higher perspective compared to one that doesn’t demonize but seeks genuine understanding? When I see Nazism as a lower perspective, I do so without demonization. I do not think you can consciously demonize. To demonize is to only see the bad, to be afraid of, to be angry at, to see evil in, usually because you wanna survive. A higher perspective would be able to truthfully, fearlessly contemplate and observe nazism from mutplie perspectives and lenses including why the demonization of nazism happens.

@Raphael Are you sure?

Ideally people wear wearables like the oura ring which measures heart health and general bio markers, get regular health checkups etc as well this makes me think about how we are all different. The truth is, which I think your post points to is that health is a personal thing. But/so, just because you have a funny gene doesn’t mean everyone or most people do. It could be safe for me or other but not you or others. That’s what is so tricky about all this. But, with that said you might as well be afraid of most things. Because you could have a funny gene or abnormality that you don’t know about?

Definitely helped me change some of my views when I contemplate the things she says with ChatGPT consensus.

That’s true about 1000s a things in life right now.

@Hojo I don’t think your response is quite what I mean by the topic. Or, can you explain?

1. We all probably have plastic in our testicals if we have testicals. Ever human on the planet likely I has microplastics. 2. I think that’s a good point. BPA may not bioaccumulate but it may cause harm. However, where the body is able to excrete it we should be able to simply avoid it and it gets cleared out. We also need to be realistic about how much a certain action actually exposes to us and how toxic it is

Is aluminum in deodorant actually dangerous? ChatGPT: Aluminum compounds are commonly used in antiperspirants to reduce sweating by temporarily blocking sweat ducts. Concerns have been raised about potential health risks associated with aluminum exposure, particularly links to breast cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and kidney issues. Here’s what current research indicates: Breast Cancer: • Research Findings: Extensive studies have investigated the potential link between aluminum-containing antiperspirants and breast cancer. A comprehensive review published in Critical Reviews in Toxicology found no correlation between aluminum in antiperspirants and an increased risk of breast cancer. Alzheimer’s Disease: • Research Findings: Earlier studies suggested a possible connection between aluminum exposure and Alzheimer’s disease. However, subsequent research has not established a clear link between the use of aluminum-containing antiperspirants and the development of Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association states that studies have failed to confirm any role for aluminum in causing Alzheimer’s. Kidney Disease: • Research Findings: The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires antiperspirant labels to advise individuals with kidney disease to consult a doctor before use. This caution is primarily for those with significantly impaired kidney function (stage 4 or 5 kidney disease), as their kidneys may struggle to process aluminum. For individuals with healthy kidney function, the small amount of aluminum absorbed through the skin is not considered harmful. Skin Irritation: • Research Findings: Some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions to aluminum compounds in antiperspirants. Symptoms can include redness, itching, or rash. Switching to aluminum-free deodorants may alleviate these issues for those affected. Regulatory Stance: • Health Organizations: Both the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society have stated that there is no conclusive evidence linking the use of aluminum-containing antiperspirants to cancer. Similarly, organizations focused on Alzheimer’s research have found no convincing evidence associating aluminum exposure with the disease. Conclusion: Current scientific evidence does not support the notion that aluminum in antiperspirants poses significant health risks to the general population. However, individuals with severe kidney impairment should consult their healthcare provider before using such products. Those experiencing skin irritation may consider trying aluminum-free alternatives.

@integral Well, if you say you can’t know for sure your point is sort of moot no? Saying deodorant with aluminum is a risk is interesting. If you can’t know, then it’s just a fear you have until some evidence of brought forward. I would suspect mass marketed deodorant has levels of toxicity. I would assume that as it’s known that even in the food industry there is a lot of toxicity in foods as Leo and Bryan Johnson are pointing out. I would assume but I don’t know. Also, Aluminum being one ingredient of many potential variables I would be wary to over generalized that one ingredient when there are many that may be toxic. It may be it may not be. I didn’t look into this one yet. For example, we should do some internal archeology as to where the belief that aluminum was dangerous and if it was a study done… why bias toward that study and not a study which showed it was harmless? Very interesting and challenging.

@integral I looked into the BPA thing she said. So apparently BPA is metabolized through the liver and excreted and it doesn’t bioaccumulate. However, I am open to receipts affecting you if you touch them regularly in high volume over long periods and looking into that effect on body. Microplastics are different in nature than BPA. Microplastics bio-accumulate.

@integral Your point on deodorants is interesting. However, are you really an expert on deodorants and how the body deals with the chemicals in them? Particularly Aluminum?

The point being Alkaline Diet, and fasting to help cancer can not simply be categorized as pseudoscience but should be looked at through a more nuanced lens.

Look at her explaination behind the pseuodoscience of cancer: starving cancer cells in a Petry dish. This woman claims she works in cancer research. lol. But, then run it through ChatGPT and get a far more nuanced explanation. The reality is more nuanced: ChatGPT: Fasting, particularly in the form of intermittent fasting or short-term fasting, has garnered attention for its potential role in cancer treatment. Research suggests that fasting may enhance the effectiveness of conventional cancer therapies and improve patient outcomes. Here’s an overview of the current understanding: 1. Enhanced Treatment Efficacy: • Chemotherapy Sensitization: Studies indicate that fasting can make cancer cells more susceptible to chemotherapy while protecting normal cells, potentially increasing treatment efficacy. • Combination Therapies: Research combining fasting-mimicking diets with treatments like vitamin C has shown promise in slowing cancer progression. 2. Immune System Modulation: • Natural Killer Cells Activation: Fasting periods may reprogram the immune system’s natural killer cells to better combat cancer. 3. Metabolic Effects: • Reduced Insulin-Like Growth Factor (IGF-1): Fasting can lower IGF-1 levels, a marker associated with increased cancer risk. • Autophagy Enhancement: Fasting promotes autophagy, a cellular housekeeping process that removes damaged cells, potentially inhibiting cancer development. 4. Clinical Considerations: • Nutritional Risks: While fasting shows potential benefits, it may also pose risks such as malnutrition, especially in cancer patients who are already nutritionally compromised. • Individual Variability: The effects of fasting can vary based on cancer type, stage, and individual patient health, necessitating personalized medical advice. Conclusion: While fasting presents a promising adjunct to traditional cancer treatments, it should not replace conventional therapies. Ongoing research continues to explore its efficacy and safety. Patients should consult with their healthcare providers before initiating any fasting regimen to ensure it aligns with their overall treatment plan and health status.
