Did you replace Dr. Ray Peat after he died or are you living gurulessly? (pls include serviceable rayplacements)

I'd rather not follow any guru. Instead, I prefer to use my own judgement, and work on improving the quality of my judgement. After all, how could anyone other than myself know my full context?
Listening to others can still be very useful, as it gives you more information to work with.

@natureman finally. I knew it! Raymumdo Péata is alive and well in Mexico!
I choose to believe in this narrative…

If Ray Peat is still alive, he’s not hiding. He’s helping people that speak most likely a different language than English and he’s helping people that don’t own computers and they’re helping him as much as he’s helping them. We live in a pretty sick (dying?) culture in the west. I mean I like it but… getting rough. I am super hopeful for some of the young Bioenergetic people popping up in podcasts and in txitter. Ray once said something like most people aren’t any smarter than when they are 9years old. I mean he’s talking about ability to learn at an incredible rate etc. (I think it was a politics and science episode on progesterone)
So if someone wants a new guru, I would consider the young people coming up in this space. They are synergizing relevant data and experience exponentially faster than the good old doctors on YouTube. Dr. Dinosaurs! Cranking out health books that are out of date and incorrect by the time they hit bookstore shelves. The old are filled with bad ideas, poor ability to communicate and a lifetime of Pufa. Confused because they’ve tried everything and everything hasn’t worked. Young people are sicker than ever but some of them are trying to do literally whatever they can to get healthy and trying crazy shit like listening to Ray Peat!! And getting healthy!!! Whoa! And then they really gain lived experience or wisdom! Wow! You don’t have to be old to have wisdom you need experience’s.
I’ll end this weird rant with this, my favorite people are older and in their 70’s. I love love love older people! There is obviously tons to learn from them. I’m a gardener and they truly do have the wisdom that is almost lost. But they are rigid, inflexible, bad at adapting, not doing well. Everything on their bodies hurts and they can’t remember what they were trying to get better. They don’t know what to eat. They can’t sleep.
We need lots of gurus. All deferent kinds. Cuz we got lots of problems on lots of levels. And we shouldn’t be afraid to look to young people for help. And I don’t mean the obvious dipshit mouth breather signing up to be a nurse with straight A’s. Rebels! People that are pissed off at how fucked everything is.
Well those are my gurus! Ha!
Where’s Haidut when you need him?
