New "Mission" of RPF

@risingfire Holy Smokes!
It would be funny if it weren't so tragic and evil.Yuh, the Ray Peat Forum is now defined by this inverted gnosis.
Great to see you here too!!!

Found this on Twitter with this comment
“this is what it looks like to urinate on someone's grave while making money off their name”
-
@Peatful I had a feeling you were up next for a ban! My comments on your post about the new direction of RPF got me banned. I could tell you were trying to be diplomatic but dissent is no longer tolerated. That whole thing about unbanning Haidut was all for show.
-
@Amazoniac In that case I will consider it a badge of honour!

@ThinPicking Interesting. I would like to believe it’s just that. Maybe he is just a delusional idiot but is unknowingly being manipulated in some way. Remember Ray Peat has been watched by the govt since the 60s. The filmmakers that interviewed him back in 2015ish had to book an Air B&B to film at because his place had been broken into and all messed up - papers everywhere. Apparently “they” would periodically do that over the years I guess to intimidate him.
So that film never got made... the forum implodes a year after his death... Mercola making moves to market a Progest E of his own... con man Garrett fueling the fire that Ray’s diet is toxic... it’s all weird as hell.

Regarding Mercola... the plot thickens https://twitter.com/unhealthytruth/status/1757912904677134468
I posted this in the other thread but in case you don’t know these two are agents of Big Pharma https://web.archive.org/web/20210623203759/https://www.waronwethepeople.com/sex-drugs-internet-fraud-the-secret-life-of-erin-elizabeth-finn-and-dr-joseph-mercola/

To me this is actually quite possible. Idiots do tend to be quite predictable. So you could poke them at a distance and have a reasonable idea how they'll respond. Even in sequence. If you're sick and twisted enough to be that way inclined. As many arms of the state probably are these days.
Or... it always just looks that way to us. And life is strange.
I've no way of knowing. I'm fine with that.

I suspect charlie hastily created RPF and reading and understanding ray peat's ideas took a back seat to his running and managing the website. this is evident in that he had not shown a mastery that comes from carefully reading Ray's newsletters and books in a way that allows him to internalize Ray's piecemeal approach to discovery where an earnest subscriber to Ray's writings could be able to slowly connect the dots and over time be able to form a comprehensive understanding of human physiology based on the fruits of Ray's condensation and encapsulation of his thorough and faithfully dedicated research that avoids the pitfalls of most researchers, who fail in digging through primary sources and are stuck with blending false artifacts of research based on funding that are contingent on pushing a false narrative where truth is secondary to profit.
If you have tried to read Ray's books and newsletters, you would know what I am talking about, as I've tried to do that and I don't even think I covered even a fifth, much less a tenth, of Peat's body of work. It isn't for the faint of heart or the weak of mind, as I find it hard to speed read through his material and to understand and internalize what he conveys I have to read at a glacial pace.
If you listen mostly to Peat's interviews, you'll likely get only only an imperfect and partially and even inaccurate understanding of Ray Peat's discoveries that he presents in his books and in reading his books, you still don't quite get the whole body of Ray's accumulated research. As you will need to be updated with subscribing and reading his newsletters. An example of that is on his latest newsletters, he began to talk more about reductive stress, and as I keep up with his writing, I would get to form a better understanding of what reductive stress is. Even as Ray wasn't able to fully explain what reductive stress in a "reductive stress for dummies" way, before his untimely death got in the way, I would slowly have developed a workable and practical understanding of what constitutes reductive stress and even be able to explain it and differentiate it from oxidative stress.
In most areas of study, it would be easier to write an encyclopedic A to Z, "All You Need to Know About Yadayada," "For Dummies" type of book that would give one a fairly good Reader's Digest version of that area of knowledge, but with Peatology it is near impossible to do.
I believe it is because the body is basically a system of interrelationships that rely on a balance of different background processes. Losing that balance leads the body to compensate in the hope that the adaptation is only temporary as the body self-adjusts to restore that balance. Because most of us is not conscious much less aware of what is going on, and even when aware we do not understand how to help the body heal itself, we tend to do nothing but allow the stress from adaptation to become a permanently worsening state. This creates a chronic state that keeps adding more stressful demands on the body. As time passes, the effects of chronic stress begin to show and slowly we begin to degenerate and become more vulnerable as a ticking time bomb that would catch us off guard.
Understanding Ray's ideas more and more to be on the situation of having the balance that simply put is the result of our bodily processes being in a virtuous cycle that comes only from having a good understanding of what's good for us and what's not, and not being in a state of confusion about what's good and what's bad. That is an ideal situation to be in and that is what 99.99% of us are painfully not in. Instead, most of us are outside and in a state of chronic adaptation in varying degrees of being in vicious cycles.
What is worse, we are surrounded by doctors and supposed healers whose abilities are mostly inadequate, mostly having to pick up scraps from the mounds of litter that are considered knowledge wrapped in an expensive piece of paper, and many supposed healers are better in marketing their services than in healing clients, while good healers have a distaste for self-aggrandizing that they are less recognized.
If my read on charlie is right, it is like having a general lead you in a battle who is ill prepared on the art of war and the only thing he is capable of is in putting you in battles you have no chance of winning.
A war rages on in each of our own body every day. We all seem to be winning as we are breathing and living. But we are helpless as well, as we are felled easily by the element of surprise. As we don't even have an iota of what to measure to give us a "feel of where the wind is blowing" as far as virtuous or vicious cycles are concerned.
RPF is a failure IMHO in that even before Charlie began to take it into the land of soya milk and saccharin, I have not seen a case of transformation from metabolically diseased to metabolically sound. Instead, I see obese getting more obese and these failures blame it on sugar. And blame it on the "Ray Peat" diet, which I take to simply mean that these people cannot metabolize sugar optimally, and before fixing their body to be able to metabolize sugar optimally, the jump straight to a nutritional lifestyle that is rich in carbs, because Ray Peat says sugar is good. But if course they will fail. Because while sugar is good, it is only good for a metabolically healthy body. And when the body is not, the person will be obese and overweight, or be sickly from hypoglycemia.
Too bad. But RPF is just Exhibit A when it comes to health forums. Bad ideas eventually take over like rotting apples. That is what Curezone has become, as well as many others.

@Luke said in New "Mission" of RPF:
Did he let you back in after the infamous Mr. Mercola incident?
Howdy Mr Luke. Yes that one was a temporary ban for a couple of weeks. For recent events and further observations, it seems likely to me that was temporary because I didn't do anything to threaten his appearance (almost politically) or worldview. And that's basically the crux of his "moderation" method as far as I can see. Aside from those who obviously violate terms or troll, many who've been left confused by their often silent bans over the years have probably just said things that were so True they'd be liable to cause some reflection and reformation. Such things can be too energetic for some. They resist.
Then I got banned again. Which should have been permanent. But a very kind and highly regarded contributor asked nicely (thanks again).

This post is deleted! -
A successful depopulation agenda requires high excess death rates, lower birth rates and for the majority to vilify those that question it.
