@jens I have taken multiple different pieces of shungite to an EMF reader and had no effect. I only saw one video on youtube that showed it working, he sold pendants, and after my personal experience I now just assume he was a grifter. Still have a pyramid next to my computer just it case it 'harmonizes' the emfs not blocks them (like some people say), and thus effects can't be picked up from a reader.

It seems like a lot of folks in that space are riding high on placebo but I'm def open and I know the potential is there, its just so hard to evaluate. Like tensor technology is another one. I need to just buy a piece and feel for myself.

@jens john michael greer talks about the occult science behind ancient structures like cathedrals et cetera which he argues were designed to harvest qi. The inside would be a healing chamber, and the increased energy would improve crop yields in the surrounding fields. Why would the ancients go through all the trouble to create these massive structures if there was not any direct benefit. Supposedly a lot science and technique of creating them has been lost. If we could get some bright minds taking this stuff seriously we could see a renaissance in truly transformative ecstatic-bliss levels of energy healing.

@jens The hippy world is where I first learned about orgone. I made some amateur orgonite in 2011, but didn't notice anything from it. I believe orgonite is just inspired by Reich, I don't think he invented it. I have since acquired a few professionally made pieces. I can feel energy from some crystals, I don't think I have noticed anything from orgonite. They look cool tho. Keep one near my water just in case it does 'structure it'.

@brad I'll check out that book. Sounds awesome.

I find when exploring much of the 'energy medicine' world that it's hard to tell whats bunk and not. There is a lot of far out technology being invented, but much feels sketch. It would nice to have some sort of framework or science to judge them by.

After diet and lifestyle I feel harnessing the subtle energies will be the most potent accelerator of health and well-being. We are just scratching the surface of whats possible. It's exciting.

@jens The most I recall ray discuss Wilhelm Reich is in the primitive initiative podcast titled 'Dr. Ray Peat | Planned Obsolescence, Particulate Matter, The "Green" Reset, Soil, Wilhelm Reich, Social Structure, Digital vs Analog Reality, Morality and much more'

I listened to every podcast I could find discussing Reich this summer. I plan to pick up his books and put more effort into absorbing his work in the future.

I think it would do you good to familiarize with Ray Peat's work, you know, the guy who inspired this forum. Because you made it clear you didn't even realize that racist genetics were incompatible with his work and it appears to be news to you that he wrote so fervently against them. As you will find in nearly all of his articles he at some point touches on this topic. It is a central theme of his work. Environment eclipse genetics, energy and structure are interdependent at every level, and we are regenerative adaptive beings always in development. Within that is the profound beauty of his message. I can't begin to rewrite all of Ray's articles to help explain it to you, nor would I care to. I am not naive enough to think I can change your mind, you are set in your ways and the only thing that will rehabilitate your philosophy of hate is personal development and life experience. But just know it's idiotic to impose them onto ray's work which is objectively counter to them.

You're holding tightly to the genetic IQ perspective because it helps you justify your abhorrent beliefs. I'm sure if it was disproven you would find some other reason to justify them. Even if it were true what good is it to justify subjugating and excluding other people based on an IQ test? There are many forms of intelligence not quantified by IQ. My dog has a low IQ, but in the world of scent she is a super genius and I'm a bafoon, to her that is a more important mark of intelligence. Say you prove afrikan bushmen have low IQ. Well they are super genuinses of survival and bushcraft. If you showed up to their culture they would think you are a monumental idiot who knows nothing, and would die helplessly. Another person may have a low IQ but be an incredible painter, or incredible mother, or have a profound compassion that improves the world and heals and lights up the day of all they encounter. In your context it's to justify hate. Which will get you no where. Its a toxic belief that creates a life of suffering. Everyone is best to outgrow whatever weird corner of the internet they trauma bonded with when they were lonely socially maladjusted adolescents.

CALLER: What I’ve been seeing, at least on the level of the popular media and the way the idea of genetics is presented, is a kind of genetic determinism, in which the public at large is being led to believe that a gene is sort of individual, almost like an organism itself, the selfish gene and all that sort of thing, which then is responsible for a specific quality or characteristic appearing. And as far as I know, no one has ever proved that genes do anything except organize the synthesis of protein.

RAY PEAT: Yeah. I have – because I guess I have been interested in the subject for more than 50 years, and so I’ve noticed the things going on and tried to find out where they came from. The – in some of my newsletters, I’ll be talking about related issues, but the motivation for a lot of these ideas, around 1910 to 1920, were to stop immigration of Eastern Europeans and Southern Europeans to the United States. So they created IQ tests and showed that Russians and Jews and the various people that they didn’t want to immigrate that 85% of them were feeble minded, naturally they gave the tests in English. But these tests were very explicitly designed for racist exclusionary purposes. And many of these people have persisted in universities, the Bell Curve, for example, a real idiot at Harvard was one of the last hangers on. And these people had great success in getting published in science, the leading American science magazine. When I sent a tiny letter criticizing one of these genetic determination of intelligence, I think it was an 8 or 10 page article, I sent about a two-sentence letter. They sent me pages of anonymous referees, one of them – the only evidence that was cited for not publishing my little letter critical of the conclusions – I just said that conclusions have nothing what so ever to do with the text of the article. These cases of anonymous referees rejecting my comment. The only data cited was from Hitler’s racial hygiene [inaudible]got me interested in studying what was going on there And I saw that by studying that period, I saw that Konrad Lorenz was the architect of the racial hygiene, but he created the rationale based on American IQ racism. He created the rationale for exterminating inferior people. Konrad Lorenz was a Nazi. I think it was his last book. He repeated exactly the arguments of his 1942 and the founding papers of genocide. He repeated the exact arguments except he replaced exterminate with some slightly mild translation, but he never repented from this idea of eliminating genetic inferiority and…

"The problem with such a manifesto of irresponsibility is simply that it is built upon the same system of cultural assumptions that produced Nazi eugenics, and that those assumptions are false. The political assumptions of the people who controlled scientific institutions were built into a set of pseudo-scientific doctrines, which continue to be valued for their political and philosophical implications."

African tribes like the hasda and massai eat pretty peaty and have incredible health. We can look at the worst examples of modern food consumed by white people and see anti-metabolic disasters. Industrial seed oil consumption was invented by white people.

Besides watermelon is peaty.
"Orange juice, guavas, watermelons, cherimoyas, cooked apples, cherries, and ripe papayas are good sources of sugar to have regularly." RP

And corn flour (masa harina) in moderation.

Energin + 1mg cypro + caffiene + nicotine
-In my experience, the nootropic effects of cypro diminish with repeated use so best cycled. 3 days on, 1 week off, or similar regimen.

1 gram phenibut + energin + caffeine + nicotine
-Phenibut is addictive and the beneficial nootropic effects also diminish. Cycle of 1 day on, two weeks off.

I have gotten amazing work done on these two stacks. I have tried lots of nootropics in the past, many make me feel irritable. I also have a general distrust in the safety of many of the compounds. Piracetam has one of the longest history of use and length of study. Ray has written about it favorably. It's also one of my favorites, been years since I have used it though.

Healing metabolism, regulating digestion, proper light exposure, and sleep should be the priority. The best nootropic is probably being well rested, well fueled, and reading/working while sun bathing.

@Hando-Jin Generative Energy 32: Hormonal Imprinting - Fake History - Aristotelian Philosophy - Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Lysenko with Ray Peat and Georgi Dinkov

That's what first comes to mind. Would love to have some other references handy. It's quite hard to find favorable things about lysenko in general. The soviet text 'Lysenko Was Right'. I have been meaning to read.

@loih I'm in. Great post.

Do you happen to have any resources of folks using lysenkoist principles in Eastern Europe, as mentioned?

I've read some Lysenko, and his predecessor Michurin. It's funny, even when scientific papers write about affirming Lysenko's ideas, they always have to start it off by saying lots of bad things about him. Perhaps without that precondition, they wouldn't get any acceptance. You have to tread lightly not to overly disturb the genetic dogmatists.

Michurin was using electricity and magnetism to treat seeds back in 1893. He's a true legend of plant breeding. We owe much of modern plant breeding to the soviet horticulturalists, despite tons of propaganda against them.

everyone who blocked me, you know who you are.

@BlooDrinker420 right, lol

Brad was nice enough to reach out to me directly and explain the account was suspended for suspected spamming. He asked if I knew them personally and could confirm they were a real person. I said I suspected they were trollin'.

I recall on herb radio a trans women asked ray for advice on hormones. In Ray's typical fashion of being compassionate and meeting people where they are at, without judgment he simply suggested progesterone.

Woah the new forum is banning people already? Why was femboy banned? What are the forum's guidelines for banning?
