I just watched a very well researched video on the question "Was meat responsible for brain growth?" The answer that its just meat is way to simplistic. Meat could be part of the reason but probably not the main reason: -Eating much meat doesn't cause brain growth per se because if that were the case all carnivores would be smart as fuck which they aren't. It needed a survival benefit for brain growth. -One of the main reason might be that we learned how to cook food. Cooking food means our digestive track could get smaller from the easier digestible and more energetic type of food and therefore didn't take up as much energy which allowed for the growth of the brain. Despite us being far more intelligent than most animals, we need around the same calories as an equally heavy mammal. -Another good is reason is that humans developed a body with less muscle and more fat compared to other mammals which is energy saving and would allow for brain growth. -Cooking allowed two new food sources in roots and sweet grasses (predecessor of grain). The extra carbs helped us to think cause our brain runs on carbs if it isn't in ketosis and also gave us more calories which could allow for adaptations. -Our denture is neither the one of a meat eater, nor of a plant eater. It's a unique one that fits the purpose of eating easily digestible (cooked food). But now matter what the reason was back then how does this even matter for today? The question "Was meat responsible for brain growth?" can't be translated into todays question "Does meat grow my brain?". There are enough plant based fat and protein sources today to cover brain health. [6] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19843... [7] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24564...

The whole grain has a healthy natural taste to it. I still like many unripe fruits like bananas or apples. Not necessarily. A deer is very badly adapted to eat steak. But because the stake is SO MUCH more nutritionally dense than grass it will still outrank its natural food sources. Even if only 10% of the steak can get digested, that's still way more than all the grass. But an animal that is adapted to eating watermelon for example compared to an animal which is adapted to eating meat. In this case these animals probably wouldn't switch their food sources because they already have very nutritionally dense food sources so the benefit to change to another less adapted diet for the benefit of getting more valuable food doesn't stand. Do you season your meat? Most people put a bunch of seasonings on their meat to make it taste more like vegetables. If that's not cheating idk what is. "Natural" doesn't necessarily mean healthy as I argumented before. Although I do believe that cooking various plants including grains is natural.

There is definitely much truth to that. But it is still possible that the adoption for diet A accidentally allowed diet B as well. Besides that humans survived with many different eating habits around the globe, some meat focused and some with very little meat. And if there is one thing that accelerated our evolution and brain growth the most it's the ability to heat things up. This paleo raw eating philosophy is completely BS. Our natural diet is a cooking diet. Anything with lots of calories tastes good pretty much universally. You can find deer enjoying stake. Do you think that is natural? Or you can find Tigers munching on watermelon. Do you think that is natural? Also do you think candy and fried food is healthy because it tastes good? I think it's our oversupply of food that makes us delusional to the point where we confuse somewhat boring natural taste with toxicity. In Stone Age you would probably be very happy to munch on some roots and seeds.

It's the argument that paleo people use to argument for their diet. They say it's what we did in the past and therefore we should (or it's "good") if we do it now. It could be however that an "unnatural" diet is actually way healthier. That's why I said "Just because you did something in the past doesn't mean you should do it in the future." We have to actually look what's best for us now and that doesn't have to be the same as what we had to do in Stone Age to survive. Oh interesting didn't know that about fruits and stuff. Although with the honey, the honey that the tribe hunter-gatherer eat is more bee than honey actually. Yeah easy catchphrases like natural diet are way more moving than rational argumentations. Our rational mind seems to be easily overruled by more primitive parts of our brain. I guess you wanted to put this understanding to the show. idc honestly I just got triggered by the title lol.

In mid school I got bullied, in high school to university I was kinda depressed and didn't do much with friends. I definitely went through a lot of adolescence but not when it comes to the social part. In terms of relationship I don't know what age to look for. I am 23. Something in me drives me towards 16 to 18 year old girls because there are parts in me that are stuck in that age but I probably wouldn't like to stay with these people because other parts of myself are very matured. On the other hand I like people that are around the same age as me but I feel like they could already be so matured in some of the social ways that I don't find the chance to integrate these parts of myself around them. I am in a strange situation right now where I ave a lot of options which is why I am asking.

20 -30 plus a lot of microdosing

HAHA Yeah I see. I think it's the young horny teen in me with unmet sexual needs that still desires some 16/17 y.o. pussy. But when I reflect further I pretty much only want people below 20 y.o. for sex and excitement and not anything deep. I am always happy to see people far older than me acting like children. For some reason it doesn't click for me like I think live is over for people at a certain age even though I am constantly getting corrected on this.

Just because you did something in the past doesn't mean you should do it in the future. Lol how are bred fruits, regular large amounts of honey, dairy, leafy vegetables yes but low fiber natural? I don't say it's wrong to eat that but it doesn't really fit into a primal diet imo. If you want to be really primal I would integrate roots, high-fiber leafy vegetables and fruits, insects.. Keto people eat little fruit and carbs in general to stay in ketosis. Do you have a scientific answer why a "meat heavy paleo diet" is good? Because how you would apply it it wouldn't bring you in ketosis and so I wonder where the big difference in how you feel comes from..?

What is better about carnivore than keto?

Obviously muscles help a ton. It's what I did when I got bullied. But martial arts like wrestling or boxing would tackle that problem more effectively.

@Enlightement @trenton thanks for the tips Yeah it's just really hard for me to trust somebody that they won't hurt my feelings. The girl was really into me and I would have talked to the girl about it but I had immense fear that she would tell other people about what I wanted to tell her privately because that kinda happened before or that if I fell for her in a relationship that she would be abusive and that I wouldn't have the strength to get out of there. And so I stopped the feelings I had for her. I hurt myself so much with this (and her as well of course because she didn't know what was going on which hurt me as well because it hurts me to hurt her). Another girl had interest in me recently. She basically threw herself at me for me to take her. But I couldn't do it. The thought of deeply connecting with someone makes me want to throw up. I don't know how to recover from this.

I lied about my feelings for a person for a long time. I felt strong love but repressed it. What does this do to you? How does it damage the relationship towards that person? It might have caused some strong anxiety attacks and depression in me.

As long as something is there you will just use the other ones more instead in my experience.

I blocked Video Games, Social Media, put a timer on YouTube for 30min and also blocked the forum for most of the day because I am very easily distracted and indulging in these distractions makes me extremely numb, unable to think clearly, unproductive, uncreative, ... The only thing I left out was Spotify because I thought its just music its not a big deal. Wrong! Blocking music is such a game changer for me. It has all the downsides that the other things I listed have. Maybe not to the same extend but if I listen to it for hours every day the downsides will be as drastic as the other distractions. In the last few days my productivity has gone up, my creativity increased and I got the voice in my head back. I literally lost the voice in my head because I was so numb.

I can't really relate to that. I have a playlist on Spotify called concentration music with very soft, light, intelligent instrumental music and I found that this kind of music really puts me into a creative mood. I am thinking of downloading some of that for this specific purpose although idk if I will then also use it as a distraction will see.

Yeah that was actually pretty cool it's just but its the wrong way I attained it. It's like solving the problem of noice pollution by making yourself deaf.

Reverse Hack Squats are great.

Then we need an AI which whole purpose is to hold possibilities for humans to destroy AI. It doenst even need to be the most advanced because destroying AI is easier then protecting it. If the other AI attacks it it needs mechanisms like warnings if the possibilities of successfully destroying AI get lower.

My first thought with AI was that we need AI angels that are specifically designed to protect us and they always must be the most developed to ensure our safety. The problem is that protecting humans is a lot tougher then attacking them. So yeah every country will have a weapon comparible to an atomic bomb right now in their hands and perhaps in the same way this will force freedom. How hard is it to turn down the internet though? Maybe we can put a bomb next to the server and distribute many remote detonator so if it goes to shit we have the option to easily stop the AI.

Congrats for being open minded and brave enough to come to these realizations about yourself. I have a question though. The process of physically changing to another gender is connected to a lot of surgery and lifelong medication and therefore health risks/problems. Of course you know that. I am not anti trans at all but you should ask yourself if this is all worthed or if it is possible for you to change your lifestyle/ look "naturally“ in such a way that makes you happy. For example my social group is a leftist theatre group. The majority of the members are girls. We have a few guys that wear make up, run cropped.. stuff like that. Girls are SUPER supportive of that kind of stuff here. I also love to integrate feminine qualities which is one of the reasons why I choose this place as my social group. So if you want to have only or mostly female friends, act feminine, wear make up, .. stuff like that you can totally find social groups that deeply support you in that you don’t have to be trans for that. Of course if you still want to be trans despite that that’s cool too I don’t want to discourage that.

She just says she likes to use different pronouns. She doesn't say that she would do physical operations or something like this. Just see if you like her as a person and don't think about how she wants to be called. It's like you want to use a fork but the fork you have in your hand is actually called spoon so you look for a fork which is called fork. See how stupid this is? The pronoun is not the actual thing.

I am doing full body 2x a week to keep my muscles. It works great. I will experiment with 1x a week training to see if I can still keep my muscles this way. A typical workout looks something like this: Cardio worth 100 Kcal a lot of lower body stretching - 3 sets of deep squats - 2 sets of seated leg curls - 2 sets of chest press - 3 superset of lateral raises and bicep curls - 2 sets of overhead triceps extensions - 2 sets of face pulls - 3 sets single leg calf raises - 3 - 5 sets of pull ups randomly sprinkled in there between sets 1- 10 sets of hanging 10-15min sweating in the sauna

I meant the Pastor.

No they could have protested or bullied that individual in a million ways and probably got great support by the majority of the population.

France people seem a lot more social and friendly. Well people from all countries seem to be more social and friendly then German people. French sounds beautiful while German doesn't sound as good but it is a very intelligent language and people often phrase words from it to exactly describe what they feel or think, like Hintergedanke, Heimweh, .. When I was in French I saw a lot of green bushes and trees. From what I have seen it's a very beautiful country probably more beautiful then Germany.

Of course. People are selfless for selfish reasons. Nothing wrong about it. You don't break that paradox by recognizing it. I think everybody acts exactly perfectly according to who he is. So an empathetic person will act more empathetic than a person who isn't. Idk what you are trying to say. Do you think a person who acts ethical is a person who would allow himself everything, who has no sympathy for anything so is not emotionally bounded to anything but now decides to act in certain ethical ways? It's ethical because it isn't forced by anything. But if it isn't forced by anything why would he do it? If he has no moral obligation or sympathy how would he come to the idea to act ethical? I told you because it makes me happy.
