Authenticity is in fashion right now.

This seminar sucks a little right now, but generally I have to say, I am WAY WAY more emotionally stable and healthy then just a few months back.

Took a 3 hour nap and my brain steel doenst feel at ease.

My brain is absolutely cooked today. The seminar was from 9:15 to 17:00 with a one hour break in between but other then that NONSTOP PHILOSOPHY with lots of heavy reading. Thats just to much, especially for ADHD. My brain kind of feels violated and stupid. Other people left the seminar earlier as well because it was just to much. But the people at the seminar are cool. Kind of got friends with a girl there as we went to the baker together in the break. We could collaborate very well in the beginning which was great but she isnt really my type otherwise. There was also another girl which I had seen in other contexts but didnt really got to know her. She seems like an incredibly aware person with a ton of sensitivity, like we had a few interpersonal moments which squeaked so much, this sort of level is very rare. And she kind of does the same thing as me that she often just smiles at people who are near them to greet them, or in between and it doesnt really feel like flirting but its very heartwarming. Then there was a moment in the seminar near the end when the author talked about less developed moral systems in some tribes and how it seemed racist to talk down to them. And I just couldnt take it and made the point that there are certain theories about development like spiral dynamics which can explain why cultures may be less developed but that it explains that its not something intrinsic about the culture itself but rather circumstances like geography or history which give some cultures the edge to develop further then other cultures. That didnt really land and I just shut up. These people there are the most vibrant stage green you could find. They hate and have no tolerance for any sort of hierarchy, racism etc. and are relativists. It almost felt surreal, I literally had the manifestation of the stage green worldview right in front of me and I could explain the difference between stage green and stage yellow but I didnt really succeed in that before and I was already in a somewhat "risky" position to get along as the only men in the seminar that I didnt say anything. I am thinking of wearing typical stage green things tomorrow, I have got a colorful chain for example. Is this an conscious way of letting peer pressure corrupt me or a conscious one?

I am not vegan anymore, I am vegetarian so protein is no issue for me and I do have some bias defending veganism in that matter but its not that big and I have had lots of experience in it. Performative people are everywhere.

You can also cheat a little for comfort..

2400 kcal of peanut butter !

Its factually not correct though. You can argue that it doesnt taste good, but that wasnt the argument. Although I would disagree there too, if you put some effort in: edit: Sorry, I didnt read it properly. Well then I would simply argue that with nice recipes you can also get there.

Markkol made that claim in this thread not me.

No

Not saying its the most sufficient way through plants, but most plants have decent amount of protein. For 100g of protein you need about: 1400 kcal of red lentils 3000 kcal of almonds 900 kcal of tofu 2900 kcal of oats

Not that I definitely agree with Davino, but western science is a narrow way to look at the world.

So I am preparing for a seminar next week and read about 8 pages of philosophy which took me about 2 hours, including taking notes and everything. It wasnt really hard philosophy. Afterwards I ate a peach and my teeth seemed to hurt maybe because I tried to concentrate so hard that I pressed my teeth together. Yeah this is a very serious limitation on my mind. I dont even think that what I read was hard, its just that when my mind is not engaged and doesnt want to know something its so so difficult to push through.

Do you avoid whole vegetables? ____ Being 100% isnt sustainable or necessary, like sugar in moderation isnt hurting your health much. I have a ritual that whenever I buy groceries I allow myself to buy a sweet snack, like a chocolate bar. That way I can indulge sometimes but I dont have it at my house needing discipline to avoid it. And I try to reproduce the sweetness kick with some healthy recipes myself. When you invest a lot in healthy cooking you can make some really delicious and healthy sweets.

Yesterday was wild. Its too personal though, despite everything I shared here, I wouldnt be comfortable sharing this story... My brain can be too imaginative sometimes. Its all good now though.

@Majed That you ask shows that you want to do it the right way which is good. A lot of research is important, probably more then what can be put into here.. I liked his content a lot back then: https://www.youtube.com/@Simnettnutrition Some of the most important things I would say are: - look for a vegan multivitamin and a pill box -- its easy and its very likely you get all your vitamins - transition into the vegan diet slowly, your gut isnt used to some foods like lentils - no weird experiments like raw veganism

marine life in sunken ships Human beings build structures informed by long-term intelligent thinking. Few other structures on Earth are built like that. Most things in nature are means in and of themselves. So in a way, the gain and flourishing of marine life, after a ship sinks to the ocean floor, comes from primitive intelligence polluting the intelligence of the environement that humans built. It flurishes as long as these structures—originally shaped by long-term intelligence—slowly transform into means in and of themselves.

Thats interesting that in some places nature reintegrates the waste we create. Well for toxic chemicals for example this doesnt just happen or it only happens after the chemicals did a lot of damage. But yeah in some cases it might not be that bad. When we dump something in nature we usually see it as pure pollution, but nature doesnt necessarily have the same bias as us, for example sunken ships can become a rich new environement for animals, way more then the ocean floor would have allowed for.

Women often have this belief that they shouldnt approach men, as they would seem to manly. I dont think many men mind though.

I just realized that they reason asking for a phone number but not other things is pretty easy for me is just because thats what I have done by far the most. Its almost like a reflex. When I train other things these pathways will grow and become just as natural.

I usually avoid conflict but with the power of body doubling I managed to push through.
