I work overnights so my sleep is in the mud sadly. But I do miss having a proper sleep schedule. There would be some improvement if I had better sleep for sure. And at this point, if I could, i would happily take any increment of improvement. Regardless, even with my current work schedule, I can improve on the sleep. This is something that I’m working on. But all these are things I got to stop neglecting.

Interesting share. You’re spot on. I do have a weak baseline mind. Ever since I was a kid I’ve had brain fog, and my parents were always alarmed at how bad my memory is. This could be because I have Klinefelter syndrome. My poor articulation is most likely a symptom from it. But yea I could never take you for someone who relates to struggling with articulation. Your verbal intelligence is strong. I’ll just have to make do with what I got. Wishing you continued health.

You gave me something to think about. Will consider it.

Thanks, I will continue to trust the process.

@Leo Gura Do you ever have long periods of time where you're sick and tired of thinking? So you put it off. In the same way a person can put off studying? These days when you tell us to contemplate, I'm like 'naurrrrr, I don't want tooo, it's too hardddddddddd'. I don't feel like my thoughts are quality. I'm always doubtful about everything. So I can never arrive at anything. I don't like my output, I feel like it's just mediocre. And this further extends the not-wanting-to-think-about-things-phase. I feel like, me having poor memory, and hence, poor word retrieval and a constantly degrading vocabulary, coupled with weak verbal intelligence and articulation, creates a barrier to effective thinking. And then, I don't even do any serious reading on stuff, nor do I revisit the things I learned, so I neither acquire or retain anything. So I'm just this mess. Do you relate to any of this?

Of course, that's why it's important to identify biases and uncover their negative consequences.

In my experience, your guard is down when you're doubtful, when you're unsure of standing on any principle. You're susceptible to brainwashing as opposed to when you strongly identify with some truth or principle. It's a mental defense against manipulation.

Cheers. Hope it works out for you.

It doesn’t seem like integral is disputing this? I think he’s in agreement but his contention is that it can be difficult to do (lots to consider, plan, take, monitor and test), people are lacking the expertise to do it right and instead are doing it inaccurately, and furthermore, it’s not for everyone. Factors like genetics play a part. So it’s not an easy, let alone an effortless, diet to scale to the masses?

We should be talking about the data then. I learned that you shouldn’t rely on consensus of opinion, but rather on the consensus of data. The data needs to be irrefutable. It’s an appeal to authority to rely on the opinion of the scientific community, and if the opinion is actually incorrect, then you’d be arriving at an erroneous conclusion. So we need to look at the data and compare it to what’s being claimed and the data needs to back the claim irrefutably. What’s the irrefutable data that backs the claim that veganism is healthy for most people?

There’s way too much to read to catch up but @Emerald, do you think that there are no genuine individual cases where veganism was incompatible with their biology?

@Lila9 I wasn’t and would never justify it, just admitting if my circumstances were different, I could see myself a monster. I appreciate what you had to share, I enjoyed reading it.

They’re also hardwired for easy gratification?

We would need to know their biology to figure that out?

It does need a mental faculty. Why can’t someone with Down’s Syndrome intuit not to mistaken dog poo with chocolate before eating it off the streets?
