External stress is overrated. It should actually be seen as hormetic.
The job seems to have hormeticated Joe Biden a stroke soon after getting elected

I was watching his victory speech and thinking to myself how he seems to have more hair today than 8 years ago lol.
Only an Aryan like Trump could be capable of something like this. -
He doesn't work a physical job. He isn't stressed. He's a billionaire. He's probably taking a lot of top notch drugs and supplements like all celebrities are.
I think the Biden dementia thing at this point was just a hoax. Body double? Mask? It's all TV.

@Corngold
physical jobs like people do on farms are very stress-lowering. But these kind of people choose stress to drive them -
theres honestly something peaty about mcdonalds . apart from the deep fried stuff. just going there for some burgers and coke, maybe a soft serve and an apple pie after. wonder if he actualy eats it frequently

@Insomniac
He had a healthy upbringing, breastfed without financial stress and his father was a capable business man and the gene theory is somewhat true, he acquired his speaking talent.
With oratory talent you can stay in the center of attention longer and this gives you power by draining others. He also had a stimulating lifestyle, probably even taking adrenochrome.
He for sure is on some meds that no one knows about that keeps the brain sharp.Having his business, he never had an authority figure behind him, so he kept serotonin low. Having power keeps you healthy.
Who says that external stress is overrated doesn't know what stress is. A manager shouting at you, while being in a low serotonin state will give you power to fight back, but the conflict will still be there. Then, everytime you meet him, serotonin will rise because you remember the past conflict. It's a cycle. -

He is doing intermittent fasting it seems. Maybe it is truly for the genetic elite. I should stop listening to people here and listen to my body. I always feel more alive when I don't eat at the start of the day.
-
I agree with everything mentioned except I would bet he only uses conventional medicine. He's pretty old school. Maybe one of his kids is slipping something.
@Kilgore The intermittent fast could be the other important variable. Thanks for following up
Let's not forget an element of pure luck. The guy profited from being shot in the head while it didn't help Abraham Lincoln even a little.

It's all a scam. He is an actor where everything was planned in order to give the false illusion to the public that the system wants him dead and that he is the solution to it. It's all manipulation and people fell for it.
You can make lies, but there would always be people that don't fall for it. It's impossible to brainwash all 100% of them. The remaining awakened individuals would try to wake up the masses or give up. There is a continuous conflict between the awakened and people in power, and that's how Google works, by censoring it. Using Yandex gives you other responses that can't be find with Google.Off topic: With Yandex I found a study where finnish scientists were against exercise, and it felt impossible with Google.

I wonder if Lincoln was also a hoax. The story is ridiculous and obviously created a cottage industry over 150 years.

Then what? To your mind. If you're kind enough to answer, remember we're open to corruption all the same.
The answer may have something to do with 'awakened individuals' ability to 'wake up the masses'.

I will not go into more politics, but I can tell you that people won't believe what media says anymore, this means that we'll be way harder to control.
Since we would still be divided and people would still distract their mind with entertainment, starting a revolution won't be possible and almost no one wants to risk his life for it.If the population would be fully awakened regarding the whole system, they will become less materialistic, healthier, calmer, more sociable, cooperative and with a desire to go off-grid to fully isolate or least they would choose small cities.

Can you share that? I'm interested in why Peat doesn't exercise, and I do little of it as well now as an experiment I began more than 12 years ago.
I have kept my weight, maintained the muscle tone I developed when I exercised. A lot of it is due to my having good metabolism, which I did not have before as when I struggled with low blood sugar. I find that having good metabolism burns energy adequately that I do not need external metabolism to burn excess energy. And that excess is further diminished when there is a lot of brain activity as when I read and think and write a lot.

Alright but alt and social media have proven themselves snake pits. And many seem to struggle with their own capacity to evaluate what's True and what's false. Possibly because they're expected to be definitive and not directional. Beside energy deficit and cardiac whimper.
People do need to control themselves if they're not to be controlled.

Sounds nice. Until someone breaks anothers heart and you have a runner. Metaphorically or not.

True, but we must keep in mind that if you break someone's heart you are suboptimal (could be from insecurity, boringness, no purpose, etc.), at least in most cases. Haidut found a study correlating cheating/selfishness and cortisol. When the metabolism is suboptimal, you try to boost it by cheating in life.

It's hard to admit but that's true. If morals can be teached, then maybe religion could be the answer?
Authority puts bad and good people in their place at cost of their freedom. If authority could be used in a way that disguises the control forced upon the population so they feel less repressed, then it could be an answer, but I don't know how. It feels hard to create an authority spectrum.
I know Dr. Peat talked about authority and its evolution and I have to read more about it. -

When is one "fully" awakened?
The "off-grid" thing is somewhat of a fantasy, but I like the idea of Broadacre City. At its core, it was very revolutionary and pretty "socialist" or utopian/communitarian. It was roughly the idea for decentralized suburban centers that were self-sustaining. Good in theory, near impossible in practice.Even today, people can choose smaller cities. But when the smaller cities grow, they are incentivized to become like bigger cities, see bigger investments, foreign influence, become dead, grey, soulless, low-trust, etc. At least in this 100+year federal/capitalistic-libertarian system.
Even Texas is upset about liberals from California and elsewhere moving there. It isn't really about "voting," any more than the dollar is the true "vote." They "vote" the natives into oblivion, so a careful exchange or osmosis of culture is impossible (even within ethnic homogeneity).
Last thing is this goes back to energy. Frank Lloyd Wright probably would have supported decentralized energy production through hydro, solar, or nuclear, because it would have been a means to the end of this utopian suburban vision. It is a continuation of the utopian thinking in various European Catholic, Puritan, Anabaptist, Mennonite, Quaker, Shaker, Amish, sects. Even the cults of the 50s, 60s, 70s factor into utopian idealism.

Isn't this just the "noble lie" or "big lie" of Platonism? The problem is we're debunking our "big lie" now, and we need a new "big lie" to correct the old one. But there are always "big lies" being debunked and new ones created.
Again, I think the feeling of repression / oppression falls into the Stoicism category of finding constraints and working within that. And that's why I think politics has been so enticing since at least Obama but probably since ancient times. The rulers equate themselves with the stars and planets that also basically tell the stories of every major religion. I'm led to believe many things worsened under Obamna's reign, which Trump was set to "fix" as an opposition. Things got worse, and O'Biden paved the way for the redemption arc of The Don.
