Alright, not the most conclusive answer but thanks I guess I will err on the safety side, start with a mild dose and carefully watch if I react any different.

I have the suspicion that my Malt turned into a somewhat darker color over the summer, it was not stored in a particularly hot spot but my room temperature was probably up to 30 celsius. Is there reason for concern? I havent done it for quite a few months. Can this stuff decay and get potentially more harmful to the body? I guess I will start to test doses from the lowest possible amount up and see the reaction.

Damn, this is crazy good! I wonder how you always manage to pull the best of the best seemingly out of your ass haha
-
I really enjoyed this one. Easy to implement tricks that will make a difference without requiring to change your diet in any major way.
-
Nice! You have experiences with Malt too and do you see comparable potential for purification/cleansing there?
-
Alright, thanks, I will look into that source.

@Adam MIt is so hard to make sense of nutrition, the vinegar thing seems to be another topic where I see diametrically opposed infos. Look for example this Video from Paul Chek: He is one of the guys that seems to have high-integrity and is very rigorous in his study. I consider him to be trustworthy.

I agree that the messaging of sugar = sugar and therefore a chocolate-cake is the same as a fruit is quite a misplaced message, particularly in the contemporary US food-landscape. Of course a fruit is better for you than a chocolate-cake and has vitamins, phytochemicals, antioxidants etc. and raw-honey is way more nutritious than refined sugar. She talks from the limited perspective of glucose-spikes. If you can see that her paradigm is limited but has some truth in it and take the signal and throw out the noise I think there is value in her message. A very fundamental teaching here on Actualized. That is the same as listening to John Mearsheimer on Geopolitics who presents a political-realist perspective and saying: "this is so retarded, I cant believe it". He too presents a limited paradigm and if you take it for the whole picture you run into problems. If you present reality with all its nuances and complexities it is way harder to present a coherent and digestible narrative and you also run into all sorts of paradoxes and contradictions.

Nice! Didnt knew that one.
-
It makes sense if you look at it through the lense of glucose-spikes. That is her paradigm. Of course that paradigm is limited.
-
Yeah I agree with most of your critique, maybe the episode was particularly interesting for me because I never dived into the topic of glucose-spikes and since that is her throughline on nutrition I think she is pretty solid on that. I think the hacks she presented are quite solid and easy to implement addition to my nutrition-habits. The perspective she presents in this video is not the most comprehensive but there is stuff I learned and she shared the information in an interesting way.

Nice selection! I watched Love after you posted about it here on the forum and the movie left a deep emotional imprint for several days. Have you seen The Master and Deep End? Im sure u would enjoy them!
-
These are great!

+1!

Im halfway through it and im impressed by the video! This really feels like a progression of the work of Actualized. The AI-training style of teaching on topics like Maturity was great and valuable but to have this on such a complex topic like Postmodernism is pure genius. Im studying social-science in university and postmodernism comes up as a topic all the time but I feel like almost nobody can really pin it down or describe it in a clear and precise way like this. I can see and appreciate the gifts and value of postmodernism way more now.

Cool! Yes Niacin is in my stack since a long time too. I heard that Lions Mane is way more potent/effective when you take it in a liquid extracted form and that the powder in capsules feels weak for most people (I couldnt notice anything too when I took the capsules and will test out the extract in the future).
-
nice! how is your experience with the niacin, lions mane and microdose combo? for how long have u been doing it? do u notice that it makes a difference?
-
When I first did 400mg of Phenibut the peak of it almost felt like MDMA, which is crazy since the substance last a very long time. It is very good for socializing and u still feel good the next day. But I could only do it 3 or 4 times then it lost its magic.

If youre not afraid to throw in some microdosing too the Staments Stack (Lions Mane, Niacin, psylocibin) seems very interesting. The qualia products (Qualia Focus and the even better, but also quite expensive option Qualia Mind) are the most effective supplements ive tried that give me an noticably mental edge. Im pretty sure Qualia + the Staments stack is a really powerfully mix giving you peak clarity in terms of attention, memory and plasticity and I will experiment with that in the future. They should go pretty well together.

one of my absolute favorites

Honestly there are quite a few courses in it that sound really interesting, like Petersons Intro to Nietzsche, the Art of Storytelling or the Social-Psychology of Status.
