This seems to be the prevailing sentiment. (I didn't include too many instances where people repeat themselves, because it's a bit repetitive)

Jesus Christ. Who would be retarded enough to be a spiritual leader? I guess if you're gonna do the time, you may as well do the crime.

What is this thread, holy fuck. The first response nailed it.

This horse freed itself from the panopticon prison that is social media. Millennial aura. I view this as a problem for spiritual pursuit as well. If people can't develop a connection with their own authenticity,experience, and growth out of fear the icky bits will be immortalized online, how the hell are they even going to begin the process of transcending themselves, let alone developing into like ... stable functioning ego's with genuine friends and connections.

Imagine trying to say these things to people in like 2018, and being gaslit by everyone into doubting your ability to sense where the puck is going. https://actualized.org/insights/the-frightening-future-of-ai-technology ... the curse of Cassandra

Currently recovering from some kind of virus that's punched me in the guts. My diet is the worst aspect of my health and really needs work, so I'm going to work on dialling it in over the coming months/year. I've stopped eating red meat almost entirely, but still eat chicken and occasionally fish. I work 30-40hours a week in a labour intensive job, and am studying physiotherapy full time (Finally found my groove!). I have really struggled in the past to get my energy needs through vegetarian and vegan diets, although I only managed to experiment with them for a few months. I only drink alcohol on special occasions, and am prone to binge when that happens >.< but it's not a part of my regular life anymore. I chew nicotine gum, especially if I have a super early start to a day, or if I am sleep deprived, for a dopamine kick. In an ideal world, I would sleep enough, and when I am a qualified physio, it should be great! However, life isn't ideal, and I need to push forward over the next two years. For today, though, just some manuka honey, easily digestible bread and eggs... Ai summary of manuka honey health benefits (of course, the fructose is less than ideal) Mānuka Honey: Why It’s Special & How to Use It What makes mānuka honey different? Botanical origin: Produced by bees foraging on New Zealand/Australian Leptospermum scoparium; nectar rich in DHA that ripens into methylglyoxal (MGO). Grading systems: UMF™: Tests MGO, DHA, leptosperin, HMF; higher numbers (UMF 15+, 20+) = stronger, verified purity. MGO rating: Prints direct MGO mg/kg (e.g. MGO 263 ≈ UMF 10). MPI certification: NZ’s Ministry for Primary Industries uses five chemical markers + DNA to block counterfeits. Evidence‑backed health uses Wound & burn care (topical) – Strong evidence: Medical‑grade dressings speed debridement, curb Staph & Pseudomonas, and shorten healing of burns, diabetic ulcers, pressure injuries. Antibacterial / antibiofilm – Moderate evidence: Lab + early human work shows activity against antibiotic‑resistant S. aureus, H. pylori, and stubborn biofilms. Digestive health – Early human data: 2024 pilot trial: daily intake eased GERD symptoms and balanced gut microbiota. Anti‑inflammatory & antioxidant – Preliminary evidence: Phenolics scavenge free radicals and dampen inflammatory pathways in small studies. Potential anticancer activity – Pre‑clinical only: Extracts slowed estrogen‑positive breast‑tumour growth in mice; no human trials yet. Why these effects occur High MGO (~100–800 mg/kg) damages microbial proteins/DNA. Low water + high sugar osmolarity dehydrates microbes and draws lymphatic fluid into wounds. Acidic pH (~3.4–4.5) hinders bacterial enzymes and boosts oxygen release for tissue repair. Plant polyphenols & leptosperin add antioxidant and immune‑modulating actions. How to choose & use it safely Topical care: Use sterile medical‑grade gels/dressings (often UMF 15+ / MGO 400+); follow clinician advice. Oral use: Typical wellness dose = 1–2 tsp (5–10 g) of UMF 10+ daily; higher grades cost more without proven extra benefit. Check authenticity: Look for UMF™ seal, MGO number, or MPI batch code—if it’s cheap, it’s probably fake. Watch the sugar: ~80 % sugars; people with diabetes should count the carbs. Infants < 12 months: Avoid all honey (botulism risk). Allergy & drug interactions: Start cautiously if allergic to bees/pollen; high‑dose warfarin users should speak to their doctor. Bottom line Mānuka honey has solid evidence for topical wound‑healing and antimicrobial use thanks to its high MGO content. Early research hints at gut, anti‑inflammatory, and anticancer benefits, but larger human trials are needed. Always pick certified UMF‑ or MGO‑labelled jars and treat mānuka as a complementary aid, not a cure‑all.

I have a bachelor's degree in nutrition science. I don't like talking about nutrition because people tend to be very sensitive about it and a lot of 'nutrition science' is murky and biased. It's very important though, and I need to dial in my diet to max out. Enter bro science. Not actually recommended.

It's a nebulous concept brother.

XD

Yeah, currently living in the Lockyer Valley region. My extended family are all farmers, so I've always lived close to nature. I couldn't stand Vegas when I visited, but the surrounding deserts there were breathtaking. Also, I feel that Australia's reputation for deadly animals is a bit overhyped. Statistically, cows are the most lethal animals in the country. There is no shortage of great spots to visit here. Here is a popular rope swing I've been to, among many other lesser-known spots. Brisvegas ftw!

The new books look as tasty as JD Vance's couch...

Az (Aaron) was a year above me at one of the schools I went to. About 15 of us went on a camping trip together once, I doubt he would remember me though. Haha. Small world. Cairns is a great city to visit for natural adventures in Australia, got to come in winter though, the coral reefs are clearer and the deadly jellyfish migrate away for great fishing, snorkelling and diving adventures.

I don't blink

Dude craziest thing happened, I watched Emerald's new video on procrastination last night while I was wrapping up an essay for a psych class and went to bed early, in preparation for the big week ahead. I got up at 3:15 am, and when I was about to get into my ice bath, I clocked angel number 333 on my watch before immersing myself. So, I checked one of the channels and BOOM Happy Monday!

So I attract these two readers in my feed constantly, how does this work for people? Is it just supposed to prompt self reflection, or is there an underlying theory/intuition behind it all. Ladies please help. 🙏
