Wow this is good!

Sounds like you've been reading Ray Peat. He's a smart fellow and a contrarian but he's not right about everything. And we do thrive on meat, but that's not all we can thrive on. We're omnivores. But even obligate carnivores chew on green stuff. So all meat is probably not a good idea unless it just happens to cure an autoimmune/etc issue for whatever reason, but it's certainly not going to be the best for everyone. And yeah keto is another thing. From what I remember when I figured this out years ago is that on-keto blood work is usually fine... for a while; sometimes a few years, and then the HDL cholesterol and triglycerides crash pretty hard.

Here's the whole thing with that: A relationship can bring tremendous fulfilment, and there are 3 main aspects of the relationship that contribute: life (success; children; career), sex, and love. A LOT of women (and men) settle for either: a. love and life, b. love and sex, or c. life and sex. But some want it all... And sometimes, it's hard to have all 3 of those... all in the same person. Although of course, while almost anyone would prefer to have all of those with the same person... for some people, the person who could qualify as that is exceedingly rare.

Self inquiry or surrender, which in the end is a pointer and not a practice. Collapse the distance between you and thought completely, then collapse the distance between you and reality, then collapse the (all) distance between you and Truth.

This is why some of the most incredibly beautifully passionate women are brainwashed to keep their mouths shut and act grateful when their husbands giving them everything they physically want but aren’t meeting their emotional needs, which for many women can be rather insatiable relative to men. They keep themselves from being themselves from shame that this kind of ideal produces. A real mess entirely based on ignorance.

Agreed. But it’s understandable considering the amount of men who would have a problem with it — it may be for ignorant reasons but frankly women probably think that ignorance is unsalvageable. But yeah if everyone just bit the bullet and were just publically exactly who they are with no reservation… that might sound better; that could be better, or… it could be absolute chaos ? — I’m all for it, but many of these men who have a huge problem with that sort of thing are living in airy fairy land.

^^^ Succinct illustration of the confusion. Technically it’s the most advanced thing there is but part of me wants to say “it’s not hard people.” Complicated-simple duality. Interesting.

? However even Buddhist+ (complementary, not derogatory) awakened masters like Culadasa said, in relatively no uncertain terms, that suchness-emptiness or whatever you want to call absolute/God has an inherent existence in the sense that it is whole (despite having absolute proof via cessation that it is empty; thus: more than just an inkling of god-realization) (just, for instance) — While Leo is correct, he seemingly underestimates the similarity between 1. certain awakenings that many masters have had, and 2. increasingly-more-total god-realization.

If true, then most men are wrong. As in particularly ignorant of facts of all sorts. Where would I even start… ?

But it sounds like you’re also saying that it is in any way possible one could get to the point where they have no preferences. ?‍♂️ Maybe in a very intense state, but even then, it’d be that state you prefer, so no, not the same as having no preferences in that way. Even with an unstoppable iron-will sort of awakening force powering the maximal deepening of Samadhi, the body will never actually shed its preferences in daily life (as if that really needs to be stated). Hell, the mind won’t even stop projecting limiting beliefs! (They just won’t be listened to.) There might be no one left who would mind though, thus it is accurate to say that only one with no preferences is awake — they just aren’t human… or in form of any kind at all. The body can’t have-no-preferences, because the body’s preferences are entirely basic electricity and physics etc — the only way to get rid of the body’s preferences would be to literally turn off the energy flow completely, which would obviously mean death.

Yeah he’s an absolute con man who just happens to have been around the scene for so long he’s received a bit of insight and picked up a useful mental model or two. He’s in it for the money, to the highest degree. And not to mention, my gaydar is making all kinds of beeps when pointed at the guy.

@Something Funny ?

Luckily, bravery is simple in that just doing the thing you’re afraid of is the bravery itself. One misconception about confidence and bravery is about whether the limiting beliefs preventing them ever go away — one might expect that they eventually would… Which is not correct. In a sense, they don’t go away; you just increasingly ignore their impact (by changing your relation to them) until they aren’t limiting beliefs anymore — now they’re just thoughts, but they still arise. What is the nature of the aforementioned “relationship change” ? You change your relationship to them by responding to them with gratitude — It may not necessarily be obvious why that is, but here’s an illustration on why that is: Really, every limiting belief is reverberations from the inner child — an evolutionary defense system — trying to keep you safe. Picture this: You are about to walk on stage, and you have a job to do; something very important to say, and as you’re walking up there, a 5 year old child says to you “they’re going to laugh at you” in a worried tone. How would you respond? You’d politely thank them for trying to keep you safe — of course, because it’s an obligatorily ignorant child with their heart in the right place, but their concern is obviously coming from fear and ignorance (on account of being a 5 year old). That’s exactly how you respond to limiting beliefs. Because that child is you.

@Someone here And btw, make sure protein intake is well over 100g a day. Don’t spend any time thinking about it, it’s very easy to do so just do it, but you are shooting yourself in the foot with any less than than. And 120g is better — 120 is at least beyond the point of diminishing returns for most people. If you want the near-maximum benefits of protein, it is likely conferred with as low as about 0.8-1g per lb of lean body mass daily. But if you want to absolutely max it out, then you should know: there is overwhelming evidence that at any daily amount over 1g per lb of total bodyweight, muscle gains don’t improve even slightly further past that conferred by 0.9-1g / lb bw. Fat-loss is a different story though — for that you actually do get some additional benefit all the way up to about 240-280g/day. Though even for fat-loss, like muscle gain, you’re at least beyond the point of diminishing returns at about 120g/day. So for instance, there’s no need to waste your money by exceeding 180g/d if you weigh 180lb, if your goal is gaining muscle. Protein is the most expensive macronutrient — not to mention, it 1. satiates, and 2. increases energy/calorie expenditure, both considerably more than both carbs and fat, and you MUST eat at a calorie excess to gain muscle at an appreciable rate… Assuming a reasonably effective training protocol*, 120g protein + 400 calorie excess will provide way more growth (probably close to double) than 240g protein + 200 calorie excess. *(10-20 sets, each within 3 reps from failure, per muscle per week — generally the optimal rep range, exactly where the aforementioned proximity to failure occurs, for band work, is 20-35 reps per set, but for non-band resistance exercises, that number is 5-30 with a sweet spot at 10-20) though for elbow health you’re going to want to use those light orange elitefts bands for triceps push downs for as high reps as possible — 50-100+ — to preserve the triceps tendon, in addition to heavier work like band push-ups (which are a bodyweight exercise and thus aren’t entirely mediated by band resistance, and therefore have an optimal rep range between the aforementioned 5-30/10-20 & 20-35; they tend to like 10-25 best) But if one was, say, 180lb and 10% bodyfat, protein synthesis rate would be nearly maxed out at 180*.9*.8=129.6g per day — however, that does assume 4 equal doses, so really that just means 32.4+ g of protein as the minimum for each of 4 meals daily. (Bodyweight * 1-bf * 0.8)/4= minimum protein dose for maximum muscle growth rate, assuming 4 doses per day. 4 is the number of daily protein feedings that produces maximum muscle growth when all other variables besides that number remain unchanged — as in far better than 1-2 and 5+ meals a day, but 3 is almost as good IF your bodyweight is fairly light like <150lb or at least well under 200 lb (you’d just have to divide the result by 3 rather than 4 to get your minimum dose per meal). Hopefully this info-dump can help you (or whoever reads it) achieve your/their goals. Good luck! ?

@Someone here You’re welcome bro!

Perhaps try an exercise, if you have an interest in truth/awakening: The ability to entertain a possibility without accepting it is the mark of an intelligent mind. Entertain the possibility that you have no interest in waking up. Then, not having an interest in waking up, ask yourself “what would I be doing if I were interested in waking up?” Feel intuitively into the question, silently. When the answer comes, if you don’t immediately begin doing it, you’re not interested in waking up. Or, it may spontaneously commence. If that was the course of events, 1 layer down, x-1 to go. Go easy on it. And don’t take it too seriously. Just an exercise.

Obviously not. But you can certainly be very athletic looking. Resistance train all muscles with at least 10 hard sets a week each — however you want to split it up, but you generally want to avoid training hard for more than 2-3 consecutive days. The optimal 7 day split for most goals is: upper lower off upper off lower off. Include at least one variation of at least 1 of each of the following 6 necessary movements, otherwise it’ll be incomplete and can lead to dangerous joint-wearing imbalances: 1. horizontal pulling, 2. squat, 3. pushing (pressing), 4. hip hinge, 5. something for the external rotators (primarily: Band Facepulls, high to low, set above eye level, with external shoulder rotation / have the hands tie the elbows in a race to the finished position), 6. knee flexion for the hamstring head left out by hip hinges. At a more advanced level, many months down the road, you might find you get elbow pain if you don’t add a 7th essential: rubber band hand openers, for finger extensors on both the hand and forearm. Get resistance bands from Amazon (brand: elitefts) — that’s the best way to get jacked at home with extremely limited equipment, by far. They’re very cheap. Get two each of the orange, red, and green. And if you’re going to be gaining an appreciable amount of size and strength, you’ve got a lot of research to do. Do facepulls with the bands to prevent relative weakness of the external rotator cuff. And make sure hamstring training volume is never exceeded by quadriceps volume, otherwise your knees will wear out quicker over the course of your life, rather than having their life extended via hamstring maximization — you’ll need to find a way to rig up the bands for hamstring curls. This will get you started in the most efficient possible way: And for when you get serious: You’re all set. Just click on videos that YT recommends on this videos’ pages and you’ll probably find what you’re looking for. I would not even touch bands if you’re not going to do facepulls with them — they’re extremely good for shoulder health and size.

What you want, is any of the classics, at a proper titrated dose. LSD-25, psilocin, mescaline, or N,N-DMT. ? Not a bad intuition. Not that 5-MeO-DMT can't also be extremely fruitful for such purposes. But yeah, past life regressions and similar territory tends to be much more likely (and lasts way longer) on LSD-25 than 5-MeO-DMT, for instance. With that said, each psychedelic has a certain flavor to it, and you’ll notice LSD-25 has a certain feel that you don’t get from any other psychedelics… That is, until you try 5-MeO-DMT — Even though they’re dramatically different, those two psychedelics share a certain taste that is absent in most if not all other psychedelics. It’s almost like a very clean and clear feeling of pure intensity and conscious power… but really, they all kind of do that — it’s rather just a distinctive “taste” these two alone both seem to share. IME, LSD-25 seems to be more fruitful than other lysergamides — even though they’re all pretty good, -25 is very likely the best option.

Depends on what you mean, but basically, definitely not, in that: They are not conscious of themselves as a soul with a purpose / ambition / god.

It’s a bit worse than that. The active sulfur compound in those has a single thiol group, not double. You need two for the sulfur atoms to situate themselves around the metal like a hook to actually take it all the way out of the body effectively. So it’ll stir the metal around, it just won’t take it out of the body much, if at all.

@assx95 If you’re a happy / fun / interesting guy that can hold your frame, she will fall into that frame. Over-confidence is required for this. Big-time vibe-changes will occur in you before you’re successful, so don’t expect success until that happens. That doesn’t mean your personality has to change… unless you’re not a confident person, in which case your personality will definitely have to change. Do you know what game means? Game means: selling yourself to the girl without being needy and without any reservation. Without any reservation — that’s critical to understand. Not thinking, as most guys fundamentally do, that she’s the salesman who already won your buy. It’s almost like you’re an honorable and scrupulous con man. Con man -> Confidence man — contagious confidence that rubs off on the girl and thus makes her more confident… not less! I think some guys guess that it’d be more effective if you made her intimidated and not confident — NO! If anything you’d only want to make her intimidated by your contagious confidence. Unintentionally giving her an inner sense of permission to comply with your lead. Confidence = lack of reservation. Even though he has nothing to do with game, he’s probably in the world’s top 5 experts and wizards of human persuasion and influence, so I’ll quote Chase Hughes — “Permission, not persuasion.” So give yourself permission to be 100% confident (without reservation) in everything you do — and let that permission be contagious. It really is “fake it till you make it” for almost everyone who becomes successful in this… unless: they give themselves absolute permission to be authentically 100%-without-reservation right now.

Then don't drink it. Just about everything is poison by that definition at a high enough dose. Even potatoes (because of the potassium).

Yes. It's authenticity. Still effortful, but spontaneous as well. Seems to be associated with attention to what is here now, rather than what is not here now (thought).

Conjugate system is the best training protocol for any fitness goal involving strength. Two days a week, one with speed box squats and speed deficit DL, and the other with a ramp to a max (90-92%1rm) of one of at least 12 variations of squats and deadlifts/hinges that you rotate each week to prevent overuse (you can alternate squat and hinge each week, or do 2-3 squat max weeks for every 1 hinge max week). That's the first section of the session, and it remains there no matter your fitness goals -- The rest of the session, however, can be toned down tremendously depending on your goals. For the main part, choose exercises with a very high stimulus to fatigue ratio (which are thus very hard to overtrain), and hammer the absolute shit out of them. Examples of lower body lifts with high S/F ratios listed highest (best) first but only listing very good ones: Good Morning with safety squat bar, Hip Belt Squat, Isolateral (1 leg) Leg Press, Bulgarian Split Squat with safety squat bar, Bulgarian Split Squat with barbell, Good Morning with barbell, Glute Ham Raise, 45 Degree Back Extension, Hamstring Curl (never do more leg extensions than hamstring curls, ever, if you value your knees). If the exercise is this color, it doesn't involve the hamstrings. 5 sets of 10-20 reps for each of them -- choose 4 and do 2 per session. Reverse Hyper was not listed, as it has almost no recovery cost and is in another category all its own. Use it if you have access. 5 sets of 10-30 reps -- at least once a week, preferably twice. Make use of supersets, at least on upper body days. For lower body days, you can superset anything that doesn't involve the hamstrings (I changed the color of them to this color), with hamstring curls. Also, in general you want to train lats/rhomboids and biceps on both lower body and upper body days. A typical split is: upper lower off upper off lower off. If you choose to do this, the lat exercises should come before the main section of this session (before the previous paragraph), and the biceps come after this paragraph. For the lats, always do at least as much horizontal as vertical, otherwise dangerous imbalances of the shoulder girdle may result. To finish, train abs and/or calves. Hanging Leg Raises are the best ab exercise. Always use very slow tempo on calves to take the stretch reflex out (if you haven't had much calf growth yet, despite training them, that stretch reflex is why) -- 2 full seconds down, 1 full second pause in the stretch position, 2 full seconds up -- no need to pause at the top but it makes the tempo easier if you do pause for 1 second just like at the bottom. Maybe some hamstring curls if total hamstring volume has not exceeded 10 sets yet, though they probably should be done earlier if that would be so. Regardless, you want 10-20 sets (within 3 reps of failure) per muscle each week, and no more than 12 per muscle fiber on any one day. Count the max ramp as a set for the muscles maximally involved (squats don't maximally involve the hamstrings, but hinges do), and count speed sets as half sets. 10x2 (60 seconds rest) for box squat and 6x2 (30 seconds rest) for deficit DL... count speed sets as quarter or half sets, or the reps therein as half effective reps (if you know what effective reps means) or full effective reps if the weight is heavy. You should get access to accommodating resistance (bands and chains) as they work against your acceleration curve, which is especially useful on speed work as instead of using 65%1rm of straight bar weight, you can use 25-50(pref35alt e3w with 45)%1rm in bar weight + 15-33(pref25)%1rm in accommodating resistance. To get really specific and high level, "10-20 sets (within 3 reps of failure) per muscle each week" would be changed to: 10-20 sets per week worth of effective volume on high threshold muscle fibers, even more specifically meaning... 25-50 "effective reps," twice a week, per muscle. "Effective reps" are the last 5 reps before hitting failure.
