  1. The calories are rough estimations of course it depends on your weight, muscle mass, activity level, .. If you want to eat more food without gaining fat put on some muscles and take a lot of steps every day. As we age we normally loose muscle and don’t move as much. Even if we weigh more we still need less calories.
  2. Brains: Razaard wrote an example against materialism a while back and for some reason I didn't understand it back then but now I do. So the example is this: A person could in theory cut parts of his skull open to uncover his brain and still survive. This person could look in the mirror and see his physical brain. Materialism tells us that it is the physical world, in particular brains which gave rise to consciousness. So if something OUTSIDE of consciousness is responsible for creating consciousness how can it (the brain) be IN consciousness? Or is the brain as we see it (as consciousness) different from the actual (physical) brain? But what is the actual physical world then? It would be a world that couldn't be thought about because as soon as it is thought about it is part of consciousness.
  3. If there is black and white and you take white away black will split itself in black and white because black is only existing through the contrast of white. Explain black without saying the opposite of white or brightness? You can't.
  4. Both conservatism and liberalism has its place. A developed conservatist and liberalist knows his strengths and weaknesses of his position while an undeveloped conservatist or liberalist is too idealistic about his position and takes it too far. In theory you could have a person who is both conservatist and liberalist at the same time if he developed his conservatist and liberalist worldview to the full extend so that he takes just the gems out of each worldview and leaves room for the other position where one side is flawed.
  5. What the chickens get fed changes the fats in the egg a ton. Organic eggs have more omega 3. If the chickens are getting fed flaxseed on purpose the omega 3 can get even 4x higher. Don't know about the other nutrients in the egg.
  6. If you aren't allergic to it you can eat it. Whole grain is healthier but white bread isn't toxic. All veggies are healthy I would check for heavy metals, otherwise tuna is pretty healthy I would say. good foods, I would include veggies, legumes, lean proteins if you want to. looks like your body tells you it isn't good for you. no problem then its not enough info to make an informed judgement.
  7. When we get better at genetic manipulation to the point that we can basically create any life we want in the lab, what kind of form would be most suitable for the highest levels of consciousness?
  8. Why would you do it then? You need a motivation to do it.
  9. There is no hero without someone someone perceiving you as such. That can be implicitly or implicitly in your own mind.
  10. I watched it twice but I don’t think I got all the points, it’s a little fast for me. I already had the same basic thought but didn’t think about it’s implications. „Heroism or the hero can not be defined through the hero itself. Just like you can’t define walking without the ground. A hero is always seen with an excited audience either explicitly or implicitly. Every point in the universe implies the rest of the universe.“ What I didn’t think about is that a person who has this kind of identity in his mind also wants to create it in real life..
  11. I just bought it and didn’t got scammed. Maybe you can buy a small amount first for testing?
  12. I am not a huge club goer so maybe my observation is incorrect but what I see is that the majority of people there do alcohol or drugs that make them less conscious.
  13. I see more and more nudity in online dating. I wonder if girls who have these profiles would feel more comfortable with guys who also have some kind of sexy photo because that would be en equally "low" playing field. I have got a good build and could put it in scene with a good photographer and I am asking myself if it's worth a shot.
  14. Frank Tufanos nutritional knowledge is as little thought out as his fitness routine is stimulating.
  15. Thanks for giving me the advice to follow your advice, if I haven't gotten your advice I wouldnt know whose advice I could trust.
  16. yee.. I think in time of need different people turn to different things. Some paint, some journal and some find beauty in abstract understanding. I fellow philosophy student of mine shared a story where she worked and taught philosophy in some kind of special class for people with rough backgrounds. She said that the kids needed philosophy kind of like a therapy.
  17. Yeah men I feel you. I am also horny as fuck but what I am actually seeking is intimacy. A place of comfort and healing. Good that you came in terms with yourself and good discoveries. Being high at places where most are anti high like the club puts you in front of a goldmine for understanding society. There is some female psychologist who worked voluntarily at a strip club as a prostitute for psychological research. She wrote a book about it. Haven't read it but I just know that she said that that's the place of society where people are most honest. And high consciousness thing of you to keep your load. I mean you were high lol.. ?
  18. Was just looking at the heavy metal levels of a heavy metal tested protein powder in the internet and wanted to weigh out for me if its worthed. But it's kind of pointless because I don't have any reference of how much heavy metal is in normal food. I know it's very specific to the food and also where the food is made. But if anyone has any examples that would still be useful for me just to get a feel for the topic.
  19. Just think about the rise of doomers and incels with future technology like VR. You could potentially help hundreds of guys getting their feet back in reality. That's actually something really nobel to do.
  20. If you have compassion for plants you would eat plants instead of animals because to eat meat you have to feed the animals way more plants then if you ate the plants yourself.
  21. I think his shittalk isn’t bad if it’s done really rarely. Because it brings across what he really thinks. Of course we should be able to protest if it’s becoming to much. Babbling is an option. The whole forum is made out of babbling. It’s not an iron factory where you have to protest instead of babble. This factory is a babble factory. Also I am certain Leo has an interest that this forum doenst turn to shit as well. It’s part of his life purpose which grounds him.
  22. @supremeyingyang doenst bother me enough to do anything right now. But I was never a politician. I mean the thread is already a message.
  23. Yeah his gut infection. Its really bad for him he says. Taking most of his happiness away and making his everyday life a struggle..
  24. The only shittalk I enjoy is Leos. They are a double standard though. I think Leo really means it when he says how unawake we all are. And given his health conditions, in a moment of despair he lets his anger out..
