Are you sure ? There are so many detox articles talking about spirulina. And as a personal experience I always got bitter lips from consuming it which might be because of it. Leo talked in his how to detoxify yourself from heavy metal video about not taking spirulina while doing his strict detox programm because it might intervene. But let’s say it’s just food. How do you consume it ? I imagine it would be hard to eat more then let’s say 5g of powder in your smoothie. And that’s like 3-4g of protein which is nothing really.

I definetly want to eat more clean again. But what do you mean exactly with poisonous food? I mean every natural food has some poison in it so you don’t overeat it. And our body is adapted to deal with that with our detox organs. And on the "unnatural“ side: There are studies of people drinking a shitton of artificially sweetened soda every day and there were pretty much no negative health outcomes. I wouldn’t drink or eat that much junk myself but it just shows that your body can deal with a lot. But a lot of junk actually isn’t full of “toxins“. Sugar for example. I would bet wheat flower also. Okay trans fats are definetly bad for you. But most junk with little to no trans fats is just empty calories and again if you supplement and eat a lot of nutritious food as a base I don’t think you damage yourself that much. I don’t want to say you should eat more junk. Less is definetly better. But you also won’t kill yourself with a bit. I just want a more holistic approach to health. Loneliness is super unhealthy, No passion is super unhealthy, lack of physical activity is super unhealthy, Stress, Sleep, Beliefs, … So when you say that it’s important to go from 80% clean to 98% clean you would pretty much need to be really good in all the other aspects otherwise your priorities aren’t well sorted.

Yeah I should probably switch to milk protein. I don’t have good experience with spirulina. It think it is good at solving all kinds of toxins from your body but it doesn’t take it out so these toxins do even more damage to your body.

You can’t be dominant and recessive at the same time as an example but is it possible to develope male and female traits individually and then throw them together in one adjustable character so that you don’t end up in the middle but with both strengths ? Also what do women think of men that integrate women traits in their personality. Is it okay as long as he has enough male traits as well ?

That’s a weightgainer and not a protein shake.

I live in Germany so I would need to buy these online. Body Fortress seems really expensive and Pure Protein I can’t find. Do you know how expensive they are at Walmart ? Maybe I haven’t looked enough. I didn’t do any heavy metal detox yet or even tested myself. What’s your experience with that ?

When I was vegan I learned that. It was super easy to say no at some point. But still I felt left out. Everyone having a moment together enjoying their meal and looking at me with pity… And I have a lot of problems with feeling that I don’t belong.

If I eat a lot of raw fruits and veggies I still feel good eating up to 40% junk I would say. But I get what you are saying and when I eat clean but not with so much fruits and veggies I definetly feel the negative health effects. I was extremely health conscious at one point in my life. Actually very neurotic. And it stressed me out. I had a lot of issues I couldn’t deal with and health and fitness were the two things that kind of worked and where I got some feelings of success. So instead of then focusing on other things I tried to reach perfection in my health. Because I was so conscious of every little thing that could be unhealthy I talked myself into being super unhealthy and in big need of a detox. But it were mostly my thoughts that toxified me. I honestly think I am more healthy eaten 50% junk because then I don’t think about health and have a healthier mind which produces a healthier body. I don’t know if I ever met a person that was serious about health ? I motivated my whole family and most of my friends to become more health conscious but there is just so much resistance.

yeah me too, that’s why I treated him the same even though I wasn’t feeling it. Yeah that’s a heated topic. The thing is just that as an adult you can’t turn your body around as well as in young teenage years. But your mind also isn’t fully developed so you aren’t ready to make these long lasting decisions. I don’t think this problem can really be solved.

Most of society still has a lot of old fashioned ideas about what a men is or what a women is. So a boy or a girl who doesn’t want to act in his/her genderspecifik way has it really hard in society. A friend of mine recently started wearing dresses and make-up and even though I don’t have a strong masculine ego and I would say I am a pretty open person that was still really hard to accept for me. It was really hard for me to look him in his eyes. I even told him that this sudden change just really messes with me but that he can be sure that I won’t treat him any differently. And he told me that I was pretty much the most accepting person in his friend group. So there is just SO MUCH pressure still in society that we have to act a certain way when we are a boy or a girl. So what many people might think is „the only way I will be able to express myself in a masculine/feminine way is when I change my physical appearance“. Because they think if they look like a guy/girl they are also allowed to act that way. Which is sexist itself. So if all the sexist ideas would go away and a boy would feel free to act like a girl and a girl would feel free to act like a boy would there be a need to change yourself physically ? I don’t want to spread transgender hate. I accept transgender people just as much as other people. But it’s simply a fact that having a lot of operations done to your body and taking a lot of hormones isn’t good for your body so if these physical interventions don’t need to take place it would be better imo. Would love to hear your opinion.

You can get cheap protein powder at myprotein or bulkpowders for less then 10€/kg ( ≈5$/pound I think). Milk products are getting more expensive, meat is unethical and legumes make you fart and are time consuming to prepare. It’s hard ?

Focusing on one thing over the over would be my definition for selfishness. So when you destroy a computer and a cat for example even though both fundamentally have the same worth it’s still not good to destroy a cat but it’s okay to destroy a computer because a cat has feelings while a computer doesn’t ? I don’t think I get it ?

Look I am really trying hard to understand trans people. And I am not perfect of course. I try to be as open minded as possible but when you grow up in a society that has traditional values you can’t help but take most of that mindset with you. So sorry if I sound like an ape to you because I still am. And I am sorry to hear that it’s hard for you in society. Do you live in a stage green place ? If not you may have a better time there.. I would still love to hear your opinion on that matter.

My friend was always a bit soft. Meaning he was always pretty agreeable non confrontational and pretty emotional. He said that the idea of becoming more “girly“ grew in him for many years but he was to afraid to let act it out until a year ego. (So with recently I mean a year ago which isn’t really that recent I know) I think he found himself though. He says he likes being a straight dude but likes to wear dresses and makes his nails. Maybe there is a lot of aggression in his shadow, maybe not idk.

I put it to my current contemplative ideas ?

I only recently heard about these short dmt trips as well and asked myself the same question. You could make a daily god-realization routine out of it. ?

hmm ? Isn’t focusing on one thing over the other selfish ? From what you said earlier I got the sense that you mean that ultimately there are no differences. For example a stone worths just as much as a human (when you are geologist for example) or AI as much as a biological creature. And so I wasn’t sure how far you would take that believe in the relative roam and so by giving some challenging examples I wanted your opinion. Hmm maybe ?

A brain (material) might produce conscious states (immaterial) if you follow the theory that consciousness is a product of the material world. If that’s not the case and the material world and the immaterial world don’t merge its still possible that there are "AI conscious states“. Just like the brain itself isn’t conscious but we can still attribute certain conscious states to it. So we could attribute certain conscious states to AI even though it might not be the physical AI that produces it. ?

What I took from it is that you can’t predict if something is conscious/has feelings … from its behavior. The AI will be able to act just like a human but that doesn’t mean that it understands what it does or has any understanding at all.

@Asayake thanks for the post I really enjoyed reading it. It sounds like you had some really authentic positive experience with weed and it also a sounds like you don’t defend weed because of your personal bias but because you really believe in its potential. Concentration and work ethic are just very fragile recourses in my character and weed kills both of them. So the dangers definetly outweigh the cons for me. I will work on other psychedelics first. But as you suggested when I am at a point in my life where I found my passion, have a strong drive in life and secured my survival I might take it again.

I know a lot of anecdotes of people who lost their discipline and drive in live from smoking weed everyday. All of them are super nice and harmless people with compassion but also with no work ethic. It’s probably different for everybody but for me I just can’t think straight when I am high and even the next day. It’s also a crutch for me because it’s just something to do. I haven’t developed my passion for life yet and I limit every other source that could possibly lead to an addiction (social media, video games, junk food, …) so when I don’t have anything to do weed becomes very appealing. It’s not as heavy as other psychedelics but it still puts you in a nice place. But I see how this could turn into an addiction for me so I will stop. My first thought was also that THC is what makes weed unhealthy. But it’s the CBD that makes you relaxed -> unproductive? Are there studies that look at what happens to regular CBD user ?

It’s not clear to me why “having“ a state of consciousness is actually being a state of consciousness. So you are saying that basically everything is relative and absolutely speaking there is nothing more important than the other. To prefer something over the over you are selfish and don’t look at it absolutely. I can agree with that but on a relative level there are still important ethical questions like should AI get rights because we all operate on the relative level. If you say that you don’t care because in the absolute everything is okay then would it be okay to murder a bunch of innocent people because in the absolute their suffering is as beautiful as their joy ? Why teach, why do anything when it’s just all the same? I understand that you might be able to get a metaphysical understanding of the world which makes you ultimately indifferent and peaceful to everything that is going on while on the same time operating on the relative level. My question about AI is meant on a relative level. Is there good reason for us to believe on a relative level that AI has/is a state of consciousness that is precious ? You only have limited capacity to love. When you put love into rocks, AI, … you might not have any love left for people. I think loving something means treating something “good“. ?

It’s healthier for your lungs and you absorb double the amount. It’s just the smarter choice.

Yes. Yeah I think I get it. But we do have to make decisions right?! So for that I have to think about consciousness. I treat a rock different from a human for example. Both are consciousness for me but I put more worth into the human. I say the human has feelings while the rock doesn’t. That’s not in my direct experience but you would probably agree that you should treat a human better then a rock ? I have to rephrase my question then. A rock, human, AI are all consciousness. But does AI possibly have a conscious state that worths as much as the conscious state of a human or an animal who have feelings?

Do the studies show if the potential positive or negative effects comes from CBS or THC ?
