They are obsessed with drinking water in general. Why? I echo @Peatful = indoctrination

@tubert

I’ve noticed both of the above, nothing miraculous, but a clear improvement nonetheless.

I browse very little but this hen has got to go.

Seems like you were able to do this

@noodlecat59 No worries, it's not my creation. I'm just longtime active writer there. It's been invite only for 5 years and now they decided to open it up a bit.

In my opinion - baldness is the PCOS male equivalent

How do people treat PCOS?

With Inositol - which also treats insulin resistance

@Kilgore

it's unfortunate they're smarter than most and I think would be n the higher percentiles in aptitude but are already programmed like by the system- zeitgeist and pop culture and formal education.

having fully been indoctrinated into the wrong ideas of health while having technical smarts but not passing the metaphysical rigors of critical thought processes that enrich the minds of medieval to renaissance stalwarts that are not so dependent on evidence-based discoveries that are often gamed in our times

lacking the ability to connect the dots in the face of incomplete data but able to approximate nonetheless optimal solutions for practical use

I see this kind of reddit mindset when I engage members of www.arstechnica.com and see their Achilles heel when it comes to the medical side of things

they would end their existence in sudden deaths at a young age or wither away in a nursing home intoxicated with a daily cocktail of pharma drugs

yep.

I like Nate Lawrence’s posts

@Milk-Destroyer said in Is it possible to force a creative state?:

How many 'creative types' are here on the forum? Do many of you create what you'd call art or stuff that pleases you in a similar way?

Creativity is a right brain thing.

In the enclosed world I live in, it seems that creative efforts are hard to come by. I often have flutters of creative ideas come into my head sometimes but I am never able to put anything I briefly think of into a sort of realistic adaptation.

Flutters of creative ideas are pretty much a left brain thing. The right side becomes engaged in the doing.

I was hoping to hear anecdotal reports from the people here of experiences they've had with being able to slip themselves into that creative but also productive mindset. For you creative types, what do you typically do to get yourself into the mood of creating?

Dragging myself away from this stupid computer is #1.

My brain was damaged in 1993 via organophosphate insecticide poisoning. I was able to recover (rewired my brain) via spending 2 years teaching myself to hand marble fabric. I got good at it too. My husband would venture into the studio, stare aghast at the multicolored spatters of paint that had gotten inadvertently slung on the walls, on top of his new paint job, and I would exclaim, "Out! OUT!! You are disturbing my muse!!" My brain recovered, my marriage survived, but I had to hang up my marbling combs because my arches fell because my cartilage had turned to mush due to hypothyroidism. It was the most fun ever! (the marbling, not the hypothyroidism).

In the spirit of this I'm just coming back to say that wasn't unnoticed. And I appreciate some correction or reorientation on anything. So thanks Mulloch.

sometimes it's too taxing to write a full blown reply to a short but helpful comment

Short form reaction needn't be taxing. This isn't.

It's no thing really. In the spirit of laying all the cards on the table, it's not as if Stefan Molyneux (or his followers) are some sort of rouge anomaly. They are, or were, very real libertarians at one time. It's just that "olive branch" in libertarianism that extends to the deepest parts of right-wing culture and philosophy has a strong gravitational pull to it. And it mostly exists today because some of the biggest libertarian "giants," like Rothbard and even Mises, aligned themselves with right-wing extremists at certain points in history. Rothbard with Pat Buchanan and the populist movement in the 90s. And even Mises backed the Austrian fascists before emigrating to America (although calling Mises a fascistic supporter is a loaded misrepresentation. As he was the chamber of commerce for the existing administration and they were in the middle of fighting a communist revolt. I call that stuck between a rock and a hard place, but I digress.). The Trump movement today is basically a resurgence of the Pat Buchanan "paleo era" in the 90s. Although I think Buchanan was much smarter than Trump. Certainly more polished. Trump says a lot of dumb and stupid stuff but ironically ends up making choices that aren't so bad, at least by comparison to the current incumbent.

To clarify

She has been a customer of the LGS as well as RPF one time subscription membership

And fraudulent charges were only labeled from or through the forum

I have no more information at this time

I never like assuming the worst, but it looks pretty bad.

On the other hand, it could be Paypal's fault. I've never liked PP, when I've been forced to use them on occasion, I always added money to my PP account when needed, instead of letting my card information and PP wallet stay continuously supplied.

It's a hassle, but well worth it, letting my card information be available 24/7 to an entity that's been known to pull shenanigans like this in the past is not worth it. Besides, I try to avoid PP at every opportunity I can anyways. So I don't use it much.

That’s helpful advice

She did confirm with me that it was through the one time charge - through the one time subscription charge- on the Ray Peat Forum

And
PayPal seems to be giving her quite the runaround
As she wants to absolve all her data there
After an HOUR waiting to speak with someone
She suddenly was disconnected

Hate this for her

Oh yeah, I've been down that road before. I feel for her. PP's "customer support" is whatever the opposite of support is, lol. At least that was my experience with them. I would give them a message, and they'd wait like 4 hours before replying. Oh, and at like 5PM est they go home for the day. So with the delay time between message, you only have time to say like 2 maybe 3 messages.
