  1. @eos_nyxia Let me add some bits related to fiber, in case this is something you haven't heard before. If you already know what I'll say, I apologize. I'd go for fiber from whole foods, not supplements. In real food, the fiber carries other good stuff down to your gut bacteria and feeds them. Supplements are pure fiber with nothing else, and often a single type. This is obv good advice, but you must also put it into the context of the adaptation timeline. For example, with fiber, your gut has to get used to it. The bacteria that digest it take a few weeks to adjust. If you add a lot at once, the little guys can't keep up, and you get bloating or loose stools. That doesn't mean fiber is bad — your gut just needs time. I would recommend anyone trying to increase their fiber intake to go +3g per day every week (the equivalent of eating an extra banana every day, and compensating by eating a bit less of fiber-void sources). I have pushed it through myself adding loads of fiber at once but I appreciate it would make most people uncomfortable. There are also idiosyncrasies. Some people may not have certain species of fiber-consuming bacteria at all, or have some form of dysbiosis preventing adaptation, so for them bumping fiber up (even if gradually) may never work. I wouldn't give up to quickly however, given all the recently-discovered benefits of fiber when it comes to gut health, inflammation, and long-term disease risk. When your gut bacteria digest fiber, they make compounds (like butyrate) that feed the cells lining your gut and help calm inflammation. Fiber also helps keep blood sugar and cholesterol in check. People who eat more of it have lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, and early death overall. So it’s worth a slow, patient try before deciding it’s not for you.
  2. I believe there is a sweet spot between feeding them (what you think is) the truth and their openness to it. What I mean: Push the whole truth and they'll reject it altogether. It may even make them grab onto their beliefs harder. Do nothing and they won't learn anything. Gauge as much as possible their level of openness and try to help within those constraints. You feed them part of the truth but at least there's a chance they may digest it. So perhaps approach #3 above is best. That should also keep your reputation or at least it won't be as tarnished as with option #1. Curious to hear what you guys think.
  3. Yes. Cause one banana has only 60ml of "free" water, as described. So you can more easily sip 200ml from a water bottle, for example, a few minutes after eating your snack. Or any time later.
  4. Nice snack. I think water would be better than a banana for this purpose. The idea is that fiber with low hydration pulls water from the gut, making stool dried and causing more bloating. Since you’ve dehydrated the chickpeas, they’ll reabsorb roughly the water you removed. So you can calculate how much you need. A banana has 90ml of water, and its 3g of fiber will use ~30ml. So you get only 60ml "free" water. It helps, but it would depend on your snack size. Of course it all depends on your overall hydration during the day. If you're well hydrated you don't need to deliberately drink water at the same time as eating the chickpea snack, I think.
  5. Fully agree haha. That's the catch-22 with fiber. A lot of people avoid it because of how they feel when they eat it, not knowing they should be approaching it as lifting weights at the gym — slowly and steadily increasing the amount until the body handles it well. Another good point. Although if the new fiber is coming from raw, steamed, or boiled foods that should be less of a problem.
  6. This is a good insight. I need to contemplate it further. At first, I’d say not only sameness vs difference. For example: should universities be free (funded by the government for all citizens)? How would you argue in favor of or against this type of question? Does it, at some point, gets reduced to sameness vs difference?
  7. Haha great video. LGTM. Time to code. This song reminds of infected mushroom a bit. Gonna listen to it soon, while Claude codes for me.
  8. I only shit 2x/day. But they are massive, yes.
  9. Yep. But I eat them all at once, in a mashed banana + pea protein dish, with flaxseed, cinnamon, and cacao nibs as topping. I happen to need a lot of carbs for my training, my total calorie intake is 3300 kcal/day, 60%/25%/15% carbs/fat/protein, which means close to 500g carbs (natural sources only). I also eat a bunch of other fruits on the other meals of the day. Total fiber intake averages 100-120g on a regular day.
  10. I've been eating 5 bananas daily for years (oral ROA, not plugged). Humans evolved from frugivores. It's the same thing as offering a wildebeest to a lion. No matter how many times you have it, you'll come back for more.
  11. Psychedelic research is sometimes done with nasal sprays. For example: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13095895/ This is something you could try out. Would likely require a salt form of the substance. I have no idea how to craft such a spray.
  12. I didn't mean back to back. I meant: Week 1: 20mg — improper plugging technique (otherwise would have worked) Week 2: 40mg — improper plugging technique Week 3: 80mg — BOOM!
  13. Sign me up!
  14. 25/50
  15. I think this is dangerous advice. If you improperly administered 2x in a row a dose that would otherwise be effective, you'll end up in 4x stronger trip, substance-wise. And since psychedelic's effects are often non-linear, the subjective difference can be 10-100x+, who knows. I would not double but instead increase 5-10mg each time. And make sure the total is not beyond what's generally considered safe.
  16. Seems like the algorithm in in line with my longevity protocol. Predicted age of death 117 lol. 29k days left. If I do a 5-MeO trip every two weeks that's 2k trips remaining.
  17. 💯 Maybe if you're drawing on the screen with an e-pen it has its use. For that, I use an iPad (I enjoy drawing and creating diagrams with the Concepts or the Freeform apps), but then I have to open the same document I might be accessing originally from the Laptop, and sometimes wait for it to sync.
  18. 🙈 🤣🤣🤣🤣
  19. Bro... I've been eating 5 bananas daily for years. Still waiting for any effects...
  20. 1. Stop playing the victim 2. Read "How to be a 3% man" 10-15 times
  21. @Emotionalmosquito Why play in hard mode when you can have it easy? I don't know what you plan exactly with the picking up trash date, but it sounds more likely to convey friendship vibes. Also, likely there will be other people (if this is a trash pickup event or the like), which makes group interactions more likely. If suddenly there are other people chiming in, intimacy gets harder to build. It also opens up more opportunities for things to go wrong. Remember: what she feels when she's with you is what she associates with you. Visualize the date you are planning: how is it contributing to you two building intimacy, getting to know each other at a deeper level, and escalating physically? Do you have a plan where to take her afterwards? Etc. Maybe what you have in mind is favorable, maybe not — you are the judge. A good date facilitates interaction and intimacy between the two of you. See the video below for an example where the dude goes for a group date and she totally loses attraction. Women don't like guys who are clueless. If you're making this question it shows you have no clue where you stand with her. Plus, it conveys lack of confidence — if you knew for a fact she's into you, would you be asking her if she is? Obviously not. Instead, you have to gauge her attraction level throughout the date — be attuned to signs of attraction, so you can lead effectively. Good leaders are attuned to the people they're leading; in a romantic interaction, men (or whoever is providing the masculine energy) are expected to lead the date to a successful conclusion in the bedroom. Femine energy is about opening up — when she opens up to you, she wants you to pick that up (be attuned) and take action. In a date, that takes the form of you touching her, going for the kiss, escalating physically, taking her to your place or hers, escalating even more, and finally going for the indoor olympics. If all this happens smoothly (by you being attuned to the signs she will reveal as her interest grows), you gain points, and her attraction grows further. If you don't take action when she opens up, she will read that as lack of confidence or disinterest and move on. Her interest and attraction will drop. It doesn't need to be fancy. The goal is to build rapport and intimacy.
  22. A lot. Imagine you have assets diversified across different countries, continents, cultures. When some segments are doing poorly, others are thriving. You can withdraw resources from the most appropriate source at the time.
  23. Where is this coming from? Both forms have ALA — same molecule, same conversion rate to EPA and DHA. Flax has slightly more ALA per gram, but that's it.
  24. It's a great activity — pardon my funny irony — just not appropriate for a date. Why? What she feels with you is what she associates with you. Spend time with her in activities conveying friendship vibes, and she'll start seeing you NOT as a dating prospect. Seduction is getting closer and closer to her until you end up inside of her. That's why Corey Wayne recommends evening dates that can lead to escalation and you having sex with her. The three H's: Hang out, have fun, and hook up.
