Does anyone else experience/experienced Myalgic Encephalomyelitis / Chronic Fatigue Syndrom (or Long Covid, which is very similar)? Since about a year I'm researching why my fatigue won't go away. No matter how long I relax and sleep physical fatigue prevails. And since I'm not effected by junk food, drugs, sleep deprivation, brain cancer, depression, burnout ect., I'm really suspecting my nervous system caught something very similar to me/cfs somehow. I did all the typical tests for blood, MRT scans and basic check-ups to exclude anything more obvious. Nothing seems suspicious in that part. However -> The cardinal symptom for ME/CFS is PEM (Post Exertional Malaise), which means that fatigue symptoms get WAY worse after physical exercise or even mental stress. So that some 20 minutes of moderate exercise can send one into weeks of fever like sickness -> Which I do experience as well. On some days it got so bad that I couldn't walk for 10 minutes before having to stay in bed for 80% of the day. Now it got better since some time, without any understanding why. Its not gone though. Still, anything like normal work, exercise, dating, breathwork, psychedelics or just taking a good long walk is basically impossible for me now. For some people this condition can get fatally bad, which I'm luckily far away from. So have you had chronic fatigue like this somewhen? Or some of your relatives? What insights can one have into this? So far school medicine does not have any curative medication or therapy for ME/CFS and still only just suggests to pace yourself so PEM does not happen. I will suggest to my doctor to do a water fast again to see if autophagy can help with them corrupted cells in my body. Still researching though..

These numbers are very questionable. If no one inside these advanced stages exist how are you going to screen people to know if they exist? Thats like searching for an animal, when nobody knows how it looks. Impossible. What question do you ask someone to determine if he is diamond consciousness? Many more problems with this..

My sister actually does a lot of booking for them, if you ever need a last minute entry for their shows.

Where ever I look, what ever I read I see that survival mechanics of the human psyche are rarely discussed or appreaciated as fundamental. Discussion of survival in the open media discurs stops at gros forms like animal survival. Not even in the context of corruption, culture war or egoistic behavior suvival structure is acknowledged. And we are not even speaking about unconscious survival mechanism. @Leo Gura did you tought all this stuff to yourself? Because even though I have a fairly sharp understanding of it and can sense even sneaky survival mechanism pretty much everywhere, I couldn't explain it easy and straight forward to someone else, if I'd open a discurs about it. No books, youtube channels, podcasts ect. excist about this stuff. Is there any public intellectual apart from Leo, that sees the significance of it?

Yeah, whenever I hear people yapping about any "past-life" stuff, I immediately know there are not metaphysically serious. Same goes for "timelines, alternative dimensions, old souls and such BS." Not BS because they have not experienced it. But BS because its just another imaginary layer to consciousness, which is completely unbound by this.

... Mods tickle his feet!

"Constructiveness is possible only, when mind is dead.." We have mods because of rage bait foolery like this.

Appreciate it! I will look into everything of that the next days. Its interesting you mention Vitamin D, since this was the only blood marker that was a bit low. And since I spent more time outside, I did got better. Heavy metal chelation was also something I thought about. I get back here, when I know more.

Millenial gamer type beat. Stardew is the goat though. Already excited for Haunted Chocolatier (ConcernedApe's next game).

What are your top 5 video games of all time. Rank them.

Bro is bored already. Only 100 more years to go.

I‘m interested to see how future proof Russia actually is. Easy to assume from a western perspective that they just regress to become medieval again. But they are not dumb.

Coming from one of Leo's latest blog posts, I wanted to give a little insight about "big picture comprehension". Because since I was a child I always wondered about the larger picture of a system. Thats usually where my fascination for any topic would lie in. I guess thats why Leo's content felt incredibly fascinating to me. So this is just my normal modus operandi so to say. However when I got a temporary ADHD treatment with Methyphenidate I strongly noticed how my mind shifted from "open and large" to very "focused and hung up on details so on". Which wasn't pleasant, but it activated a specific mental state in me, that would make great for a great scientist: orderly, "strict", focused and accurate and so on. So in a sense that period allowed me to udnerstand the neurological mode that "strong-anti-ADHD" people have. And in that period my sense for metaphysical big picturing, deep contamplation, open minded discussions was basically nuked out to zero. So maybe my offer is that, scientist - people who get paid for this specific mental state - are genetically not ideal or fit to naturally dive deep and open in bigger picture contemplations. Again, I was struck how miserable I was at even "small" big picturing with another neurology. Stuff that just comes natural to me right now. Of course psychedelics are rip that limitation apart. But that seems too scary for most scientiest I believe. Just my open thoughts on this..

Additional loose thoughts: ADHD is fundamentally your brain not giving you enough rewards for "ordinary" activities, ideas, impressions and so on. Which is why ADHD people rarely do "ordinary" jobs or have "ordinary" hobbies, ordinary friends and so on. And you know what is also not ordinary? TRUTH. (Sounding like Leo now, mmh..) So in a sense an ADHD brain is innately more wired towards exploring whackier things as it lives on. So you go around exploring all these things to their reward climax, till they get stale. Ideas, friends, hobbies, jobs . all get replaced in a ADHD persons mind sooner or later. The trial and error phases of such a person are way faster and harder on reality than others. But the thing that stays is Truth. A true thing stays true no matter how excited your brain is about it. I think this mechanic helped me a lot with truth seeking and is the same thing that might make it harder for more scientistic minds to get to larger truths.

Of course going towards the roots of any thing is part of the bigger picture. So in a way some part of your is very much interested in grasping a thing holistically (big picture). Maybe I would have phrased it differently. The scientistic people I got to know just were so occupied with neither the roots nor the sky. They just got lost mentally in some minute details that didn't matter really in the grand scheme. -> which is what I noticed in myself with another neurology. Maybe thats a better way to say it.

Btw. I'm not saying that "orderly, "strict", focused and accurate" are antithetical to big picture thinking. I just think that big picture thinkers are bad at the current job of being a scientist. Which promotes and rewards a speicific kind of neurology over other types of neurology.

His latest X post mmh..

The podcast was great.

Truth seeking, sure. But the love part is pretty unusual to say for someone like him. Where did he get that from?

Too much sodium (literally everyone has too much) blocks the uptake of potassium, which we tend to have too little of. There is even a thing called potassium-salt, which tastes like normal salt and can solve this unbalance. Didn't try it for myself though.

Regarding proof of death: French physicians conducted a test setup where they would ask a person right after they lost their heads to the guillotine if they could hear them / see them. And since their rolling heads did not answer accordingly they concluded that death is real. mmh.. what has happened in that niche of science since?

Its also the only article you can get on the site at the moment.

Toilet paper. For real, if you ever adapted to the water meta, you never going back to that cave man shit.

Or just buy it online, even easier. In general there is literally no chemical that can’t be bought online if you got some crypto balance. You don’t even need dark web browsers and that stuff.

Well, I always found people from UK have a strong sense of everday humor, which you might miss in Germany. In general the "free good human stuff" like hugs, kisses, jokes, public songs, love ect. is definitely dilapidated. While the "expensive good human stuff" like education, social security, healthcare ect. is probably among the best worldwide. Thats my main distinction of Germany with other, especially non-european nations.
