I've just been listening to Serbian mainstream turbofolk revival these past few days, I have no clue what they're saying but the melody is really catchy. (nongenocidal kind)
Lilex is another excellent option for those who prefer to use monospaced fonts. It resembles IA Writer Mono because both are based on IBM Plex Mono.
Some monospaced fonts are too thin, so it's worth experimenting varying their weight to your preference. For example, from the default 400 to slightly bolder 400â450.
He asked me for guidance. He took me to see the biochemist. I had no title, could not convince him to take more importance iny reasoning and my approach as bases on Peat bioenergetics principles. He took the fork where most take- following an expert. But 99% people cannot get rid of their blind spots. If we could be open to learn and save ourselves, just like you and I can, why couldn't he, especially when his own life is at stake? I think it's because most people are trained to not 'micromanage,' and to leave it to 'experts.' There is this notion that we should always delegate and outsource to those who are more more experienced. But the reality these 'experts' have s poor track record, but despite that it is folly for most people to take the alternative with an uncertain outcome, even though unproven also means it's not been proven to fail.
I wanted to resolve my mostly mental problems (depression, OCD, low energy, mania) without going through the fradulent loop-de-loop of therapy and psychiatric drugs.
Did "carnivore", read Chris Palmer's great book Brain Energy which I still recommend, then twitter took me from Vonderplanitz to Ray Peat.
Kind of kaleidoscopic. I'm glad to be where I am now.
Has anyone found a simple explanation of William Blake's paintings. i only understand the painting with Newton.
I don't think this is the simplest, but I'd say it's the cheapest and most readily available. Delphi Classics has a digital book, William Blake Complete Works, which includes a couple biographies. I'm currently reading the first biography by Irene Langridge, and she goes through a lot of his art work (maybe all of it, I'm not certain), sharing insight to each piece.
My gut tells me hedonism is self-destructive. I'm just not sure if this is the case always or if it depends. Do you guys think occasional hedonism from time to time is harmless/okay? Curious to hear people's thoughts because for some reason I feel lots of guilt whenever I allow myself to indulge in life pleasures.
Hedonism is optimal. It aint necessary self destructive, it can be self constructive and lzd to the highest degree of energy and well being. If you feel guilt it is either because the pleasure source is having a negative impact on you(draining your ressources per exemple), or your ideas about that pleasure source are that it is negative therefore you feel guilt. Simpla gotta remove pleasures sources that contribute to lower energy and well being afterward, and consume those that lead to higher energy and well being afterward
@gg12 I think that is kinda specific to what you life looks like and what your goals. For many people being social is simply part of work. For others it's part of resting. For someone who either wants to be a great orator or is socially anxious it would be part of self-improvement.
I personally don't think you can force being social. How social we are heavily depends on our physical health. If we don't have the energy for the interaction then it will always feel shallow and fake and not lead anything further.
However as I mentioned prolonged boredom/being in the default mode network does change your perception of time and as consequence how we judge social interactions. In the end it makes one more open, after all you are bored, if you don't have anything else to do you might just chat around.
@cs3000 yeah voltage (ph) and frequency communicating the structure of the organs. The organs informing one another, what its needs are and what is expected of it.
Rest and digest vs fight or flight, played out over years can really tell a story of what your tissues are trying to deal with.
Seems like when a massive signal gets sent to an organism âstressâ war trauma insulting baby formula etc the biochemistry and nervous system are so pissed off it takes more than just good nutrition to inform the organs to chill out. Like when youâre in stress mode your digestive organs are literally squeezing the blood out of themselves to provide energy to the muscles.
This shapes personality, and then informers our culture.
@random its a good one to watch fully in evening mostly for entertainment / fascination and maybe more idk yet. hes a great explorer the moon mysteries one was wild

The conflict in nature between different kinds of organism has been popularly expressed in phrases like âstruggle for existenceâ and âsurvival of the fittest.â Yet few people realize that mutual cooperation between different kinds of organismsâsymbiosisâis just as important, and that the âfittestâ may be the one that most helps another to survive.
Whether intentional or not, Tragerâs description of the âfittestâ is not merely a scientific judgment made by an eminent biologist; it is also an ethical judgment similar to the one Kropotkin derived from his own work as a naturalist and his ideals as an anarchist. Trager emphasized that the ânearly perfectâ integration of âsymbiotic microorganisms into the economy of the host ⊠has lead to the hypothesis that certain intracellular organelles might have been originally independent microorganisms.â Accordingly, the chloroplasts that are responsible for photosynthetic activity in plants with eukaryotic, or nucleated, cells are discrete structures that replicate by division, have their own distinctive DNA very similar to that of circular bacteria, synthesize their own proteins, and are bounded by two-unit membranes.
Much the same is true of the eukaryotic cellâs âpowerhouse,â its mitochondria. The eukaryotic cells are the morphological units of all complex forms of animal and plant life. The Protista and fungi also share these well-nucleated cell structures. Eucaryotes are aerobic and include clearly formed subunits, or organelles. By contrast, the prokaryotes lack nuclei; they are anaerobic, less specialized than the eucaryotics, and they constitute the evolutionary predecessors of the eucaryotics. In fact, they are the only life forms that could have survived and flourished in the early earthâs atmosphere, with its mere traces of free oxygen.
It is now widely accepted that the eukaryotic cells consist of highly functional symbiotic arrangements of procaryotes that have become totally interdependent with other constituents. Eucaryotic flagella derive from anaerobic spirochetes; mitochondria, from prokaryotic bacteria that were capable of respiration as well as fermentation; and plant chloroplasts from âblue-green algae,â which have recently been reclassified as cyanobacteria. The theory, now almost a biological convention, holds that phagocytic ancestors of what were to become eucaryotes absorbed (without digesting) certain spirochetes, protomitochondria, and, in the case of photosynthetic cells, coccoid cyanobacteria and chloroxybacteria. Existing phyla of multicellular aerobic life forms thus had their origins in a symbiotic process that integrated a variety of microorganisms into what we can reasonably be called a colonial organism, the eukaryotic cell. Mutualism, not predation, seems to have been the guiding principle for the evolution of the highly complex aerobic life forms that are common today.
Obvious extensions to cooperation between life forms in the society, producing complexification, differentiation, the opportunity for recreation, et c.
