And this one is a classic:

No elaboration needed:

Trust me, Mike will take anything for 2 years and then go on a podcast to share horror stories of the side effects and how he still keeps taking it because "childhood demons". Look at his recent plastic surgery adventures.

Excuse my righteous anger, but do you think cancer is a joke that you can use for people to treat you nice and give you attention? If you think you have cancer, the last thing you should do is be an idiot about it. You have more room for that with other things. Go get checked.

I think I've found a solution which seems quite obvious. It seems like the iron from the multivitamin and especially zinc together could be the main problem. I first tested taking my zinc later in the day, but I did not like that at all (as that interferes with vitamin D functioning). It was so bad I decided to bail and take it maybe 1-2 hours after taking all the other stuff, and before that, my stomach was pretty fine, but then the zinc really made shit go sideways. But today, I tried taking the multivitamin first thing in the morning on an empty stomach with some water and let it digest for maybe 30 minutes. The contents of the multivitamin (which again lacks vitamin A, D and K) are mostly water soluble and should be absorbed the best that way, and also iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach as well. So absorbing the multivitamin before eating breakfast and then taking the fat soluble stuff (vitamin D, K1, K2, fish oil with vitamin A, D and E) and also magnesium and calcium and zinc, seems to work. I have also ordered zinc bisglycinate to see if that helps. I'll also maybe look into alternative forms of magnesium and calcium to see if I can decrease competition further.

Imagine thinking you have all this complexity but it's only for you.

Yes, it was lacking.

I'll try to get ChatGPT to ask me some questions at the end of every answer it gives me 👍

I can tell. Not a lot of substance there.

That's just more solipsism delusion of conflating relative and absolute domains. You can improve the self even if you transcend the self. There is no contradiction there, only if you think in black and white NPC terms.

"If you have cancer you are going to die anyway" sounds like you mean cancer is a death sentence, which it's not. Please try to write more clearly and with better grammar: https://www.actualized.org/forum/guidelines/

"I can't go to the doctor because I'm afraid". There's one. And are you listening to yourself? "I can't go because I might have cancer". If you actually have cancer, you will have to go to the doctor anyway. There's a thing about males not going to the doctor for things like penile cancer because they're afraid of what will happen to their junk, and then when they do go, it's too late. But if you're simply afraid of the fact that you might have cancer, that's not even a good reason (not that the former is either). (This was me challenging the premises and fixing the "y"). Not going to the doctor seems to be a male thing. I recently went for an x-ray for my toe cuz a 20kg weight fell on it and I couldn't walk on it for days. It wasn't actually broken, and when the doctor (my age 🤤) checked it, I didn't even feel much pain (I was like "wut"). But if it was broken, I could've gained a lot of valueable information about what to do. My mom is a general practitioner She is actually kinda spiritual, which I only learned from talking to her. Did you have friends at any point in your life, and when did you last meet with them?

How often do you say "I can't do x because y"? I can't do x because y" is a pattern you can identify in your life and try to fix the y's or challenge the premises. Often when you fix one y (e.g. cutting down smoking), many x'es free up. If you start by identifying a few smaller y's, maybe one every week, you can start to get the ball rolling. And if you identify the big y's or you identify the general impulse to self-sabotage, many of your problems will evaporate. Sometimes the x'es and y's go in a circle, and then you're stuck, but then you might also notice how they're a manifestation of the general tendency to self-sabotage. Sometimes the "hardest" thing is the simplest and in fact easier thing in the long run. If you avoid doing the hard things, they will eventually pile up and start eating you in the ass and you will have to do them later. Zero friends ever? Are there not any people you know (even your mom) that you could ever possibly hang with?

He's a big fan of Ray Kurzweil, and he's like the Ray Kurzweil of pharmacology.

I go to the gym to channel inner gorilla energy and pack on deltoids and chest and the rest and to download natty opioids and dope-amine/serotoneen and be on top of my game cognitive-physiologically (that's a word right now).

He has mentioned it before somewhere: more muscle means better glucose control, lesser risk of injury and fatigue. Being fat creates high blood pressure, diabetes type 2, elevated bad cholesterol, wear and tear on joints.

Sometimes I feel like being this guy though:

Haha now I stopped taking them and I feel like shit. I'll try to spread the dose throughout the day and maybe some other ideas.

Meditate 1 hour, lift weights, do high-intensity cardio, brain training, hang out with friends.

I take them with my breakfast and it lasts the whole day. I have only tried this brand.

Mmm. Thanks for the input. It's kind of a funny tangent, but I've noticed every time I've added something new to my supplement stack, I get this feeling of like a system upgrade where everything seems to run smoother, and it's eerily similar across the different substances. The first few times, I thought it was because I was actually filling up a very specific "hole" in my nutrition, like "oh, so this is what zinc feels like?". But now I think it's more like you pour some coins into a vast range of bodily processes (as each micronutrient affects many), and what you mostly pick up on is a general state change ("wow, that's different") and not necessarily a state change specific to that nutrient. When I took the multivitamin, I got that feeling on steroids (it was actually like taking a drug, like an LSD microdose). No I haven't tried it. It's ironic: I want to avoid taking as many things as I can. I only broke this when I bought the multivitamin, and I was very hesitant about it. Turns out I should listen to my intuition more
