  1. I asked him if he could theoretically do self-immolation and not suffer during it, and he started making excuses (it's from a comment in his last video on yt) and said his pain tolerance is higher when lifting weights lol. Someone who would be free from suffering would be able to do self-immolation with perfect calm without any problem, being waterboarded, sit with no back support in meditation for 16h repetitively... Read my Reddit post I linked in this thread it's a good summary of my thoughts about it People exist who can burn themselves and not react to sensations until they feel the smell of burning flesh - and they don't give a fuck about spirituality, it's just their genetics https://news.sky.com/story/rare-genetic-mutation-allows-british-woman-75-to-feel-no-pain-12888007 doesn't say much
  2. I wouldn't say it's a waste of time if you enjoy training and it's your hobby. Girls like slightly more muscle than avarage but 26 FFMI is an overkill, no one needs that to attract girls. If you can get to low body fat% (so your face looks better) and don't look super skinny in clothes, you're golden. The most gains I've ever gotten was FBW 5x a week. Only training each muscle group for 2 sets to failure at the time. It was really suprising how much more gains I was getting when I switched from split to FBW (full body workouts)
  3. Yes, FFMI will drop as someone gets leaner but it will not be a drastic difference. Assuming 85% fat loss and 15% muscle loss on a properly paced, high protein diet with proper resistance training, the difference in FFMI going from lean to shredded will be like 0.6 at best. And this is something many people can't possibly fathom, or just don't want to embrace the hard truth. And it's even more radical than that. https://forums.t-nation.com/t/the-truth-about-bodybuilding-genetics/285342 A large percentage of the male population walking on this planet will never be able to squat 500 and deadlift 600 pounds even if you put them on insane doses of steroids, the best training protocol, give them the best trainers... In terms of strength, going from natural to steroids one can expect about 10% to 15% boost to their powerlifting total, which is definitely a great boost but it won't make a guy with weak genetics suddenly an elite powerlifter, not even close. Genetics is such an underestimated factor
  4. There's so much more to aging than just telomeres. In fact we don't even have a proper marker of aging, you can't measure someone's biological age. These DNA kind of tests which apparently measure your biological age are a lie. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/04/health/long-telomeres-age-longevity.html There are an unfathomable amount of problems preventing us from living for thousands of years. Metabolism causes entropic damage in us which we have no idea how to stop. This is just my personal feeling, but I feel some denial of death vibes from popular social media anti-aging gurus like David Sinclar
  5. Yes, there's no reason to take steroids unless you have elite bodybuilding/strength genetics and want to compete at the top professional level.
  6. FACTS, WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE STEROIDS WERE EVEN INVENTED: Among Hermann Görner's many feats of strength were the following notable lifts: Deadlift – 360 kg (793 lb) with overhand hook grip. 380 kg (840 lb) with mixed grip. One-handed deadlift – 330 kg (730 lb) on 8 October 1920, Leipzig, Germany Deadlift – 270 kg (600 lb) using just two fingers of each hand As far as bodybuilding goes (and he wasn't even a bodybuilder) - 28.4 FFMI at 15% body fat (and this is a conservative estimation) So those things above are what is AT THE VERY LEAST possible with great genetics. Why? Because they didn't even use creatine back then, not to mention sub-optimal training and nutrition, AND way way fewer people were training overall than today so obviously fewer people with insane genetics were training. Some photos of the pre-steroid era guys (there's simply no way these guys aren't natural as steroids weren't even available in any lab): It's not about who is natty or not as that is impossible to know. But about what is possible natty. And yes, great physiques and insane strength is possible natty. It requires however the most important thing - genetics which is the biggest pill Examples of photos (with good lighting and angles) of some modern physiques which are below 28.4 FFMI ~24.3 FFMI ~26 FFMI 25 FFMI
  7. As we strengthen tissue repair mechanisms we simultaneously weaken cancer defense mechanisms, and we haven't been able to deal with that. We are not even close to defeating aging. Aging is essentially entropy. We're not even able to give people long-lasting pain relief let alone stop aging.
  8. He is not. If we're talking about the basic definition of suffering, he is not free from it. Increased tolerance to pain is completly different than being free from it. Look up my Reddit post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/streamentry/s/oPm1KmCPTr
  9. @Arthogaan "And just like Frank Yang says, that shift, of true centerless reality perceiving itself really feels like constant 5meo. " No it doesn't feel the same as 5-MeO God-solipsism. I dissolved that self-center feeling that Daniel Ingram or Frank are talking about, years ago and it doesn't feel the same as 30mg of snorted 5-MeO. Ask Frank to take a big hit of 5-MeO and then looking him in the eyes ask if it was just the same as he was 45 minutes ago, no way it's the same, you wouldn't even be able to function. Yes Frank has done frog venom but it was years ago before his Bhuddist enlightenment
  10. Yes, status can do that. It's probably even more important than looks for attracting women. Questionable. I think even with an unattractive personality he would still be a desired man overall just because of his top 0.001% looks (he aged and doesn't look as good anymore). The problem with the black pill/incel community arguments is that they, to prove their points, show examples of not just good-looking men or even like really handsome guys, but the absolute top tier best-looking models on the earth. Yea I believe if you are so good-looking that people are willing to pay you to photograph you, you'll get laid easily even with an unattractive personality, however, that's so rare it's basically irrelevant. All decent looking guys still have to put some work to get laid The halo effect
  11. Arguably the most important thing medicine, if powerful, should be able to solve or at least be able to give a big relief, is pain. Modern medicine is a joke in terms of giving people net pain relief. Opioids? Those do not give net pain relief after withdrawal or long-term use, also opium has been known since at least 3400 BC in Mesopotamia. NSAIDs are technically not painkillers*. The only thing with severe pain modern medicine can do is to smoothen out the pain/suffering curve with opioids, but again that is nothing new. Example from a rat study of how quickly tolerance develops to a painkilling effect of opioids: After about 18 days, a high dose of tramadol is not distinguishable from the placebo, complete tolerance has been developed. *NSAIDs are anti-hyperalgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. Just like caffeine, Drotaverine, or many many other drugs that are not painkillers, can indirectly reduce pain in a specific scenario (hyperalgesia in case of NSAIDs). That doesn't make them painkillers. If you take an NSAID and then your wife of 20 years leaves you or hit your hand with a hammer, it hurts just the same. Opioids are painkillers and work directly by blocking pain signals between the brain and the body. The argument sometimes used is "Look how much longer people live now" but actually a lot of that is infant mortality which was much higher back then. Even 1000 years ago if you reached the age of like 6, your expected lifespan, and certainly healthspan, was not that much different than today. It was not uncommon for people to get to the age of 70, even 1000 years ago. https://news.sky.com/story/rare-genetic-mutation-allows-british-woman-75-to-feel-no-pain-12888007 In some sense, it's not surprising that natural selection cared so much about defending certain level of pain in the body and made all these negative feedback loops, as low pain phenotype is just too careless for it to survive well. There is one thing in long development now which can be a revolution in painkillers. FAAH enzyme, if eliminated, can potentially make a drastic change to the phenotype. There is even some evidence showing it can reduce and reverse tolerance to opioids. All the FAAH inhibitors tested to this day has been either too weak inhibitors and/or cause bad side effects, in 2016 someone even died in a clinical trial which unfortunately probably will delay research by years. The discovery such strong inhibitor would be incredible, chronic pain cured, anxiety and depression destroyed
  12. For those of you who say looks is not important I mean dude became super famous right after they photographed him in a fucking jail. Thousands of girls started sending him naked photos within hours of his mugshot going viral. He received 45 modeling/movie contracts while still being in jail! It's insane what millimetres of bones can do.
  13. Dennis Cyplenkov's hands "Doctors in Scotland were amazed when a 66-year-old woman underwent what is normally a very painful operation on her hand for severe arthritis and required little to no pain medication afterward. Similarly, two years ago, she was diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis in her hip with significant joint degeneration, yet she complained of no discomfort before, during, or after her hip replacement surgery" "She also scored remarkably low on anxiety and depression tests." "Thinking the woman’s exceptional insensitivity to pain might be rooted in her genes, researchers in the United Kingdom sequenced and analyzed her genome and found a previously unidentified mutation, they reported Wednesday in the British Journal of Anaesthesia. That mutation, in a region they named FAAH-OUT, seems to turn down the activity of a neighboring gene called FAAH, which is known to be involved in pain sensation, mood, and memory." https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-case-of-a-woman-who-feels-almost-no-pain-leads-scientists-to-a-new-gene-mutation/
