Give it more time. If still nothing, make sure your vitamin D is good. If still nothing, add in cynoplus as well as little bits of t3 in the day.

Why did Ancient civilizations around the world make human sacrifices regularly to entities that seem to be "mythical"? Were they all just a bunch of brain-dead cavemen or do they know something that you don't? Think about it. Who could've taught them to engage in such practices?
Normies believe in all sorts of dumb shit. I don't know why you'd assume the crazy things they were doing in ancient time could be rational considering how they behave in our modern age.
The Powers that Be are extremely religious themselves
I think they are more pragmatic than religious. They love being rich and powerful above all else which is why they're mostly Malthusian.
I suspect any benefits come from the community part of religion rather than the beliefs, not to be diminished I guess, particularly in the elderly.
As far as any real transformation goes, it's obviously very limited in what it can provide. Like psychology, Religion's opposition to explanations of suffering that can't ever include biology make it completely toxic imo.

@Hando-Jin Ray wasn't Christian? Time to abandon my faith. I am Christian because it's true not because I thought Ray Peat was. You can ask Landshark on twitter about it if you are actually curious.
No, I don't think Ray ever thought of himself as a Christian. He criticized them.
But usually questions like this are in bad faith trying to feign intellectual superiority over people who are Christian
I just get bored of so many threads turned into a bible study group. I think it's bad manners.
Religious people being oblivious to how overbearing they can be is nothing new I suppose.
I'm also genuinely curious as to why 'peaters' bother with religion when it's obviously of so little practical value.
@Kvirion said in Why are you all so religious:
@Hando-Jin Since 1980-ties neoliberals have been dissolving social structures and lowering/removing moral standards... Populistic/superficial Left also has some fair share in this...
It has gone too far...
Our ecosystems want to counterbalance this... Therefore we have a social need for more constraints and guidelines. Many conflate this need for more structure with introducing religious approaches...
The only social topic Christians can talk about is abortion

@Hando-Jin who is holding the majority "to ransom"?
The state and employers, obviously. It's either submit to labor or starve.
It is a natural law that we all must make a living.
Humans lived without this supposed law longer than they lived with it. The entire idea of an economy is generally mean spirited, benefits a minority at the expense of the majority and stands in the way of a healthier cooperation to get our material needs meet.
@the-MOUSE if you are hypothyroid you won't be sleeping well and probably have digestive problems like reverse peristalsis that could result in nausea when you wake up.
@Ecstatic_Hamster said in How libertarian leaning is this forum?:
@Hando-Jin I go to work because I want to.
Most people do not. A system that might work ok for you but holds the majority to ransom is not free.

current social order
. That being said, what about government regulation is preventing people from creating healthy communities, social structure, and engaging in meaningful work?
Chaining us to the medical system, banning/regulating certain useful therapies, no guarantees of income or housing have to be some the primary problems.
I saw in one of the UBI experiments in California a guy was able to ditch his blood pressure medication. It's awful what they do to us.
@Ecstatic_Hamster said in How libertarian leaning is this forum?:
I have no interest in debating someone who fundamentally is okay forcing people to do things in the name of some collective concept
Do you go to work everyday? Would you rather be doing something else? All economic systems involve coercion, capitalism is probably the worst.
@jens said in How libertarian leaning is this forum?:
@Kilgore libertarianism might work fine if everyone is 130 iq and living homogeneously. People right now are dumber and sicker than they have ever been. To think anything good would come from "letting the reigns loose" on people who are so fundamentally sick that they are literally cancerous tumors walking around in a semi-hibernation state is quite foolish I must say.
I disagree. I think that's exactly what they need.
Much of the sickness is caused by the current social order. Meaningless work being chief among them. I don't think the answer to sickness caused by authoritarianism is going to be having them live under somebody else's idea of a better authority.

@Mulloch94 said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:
Ehhhh...I think conservatives are more opened to discourse of opinion on wedge issues, but when it comes to the bare essentials they're just as lockstep as the liberals are. The republican party is basically the cult of Trump. Look at what happens whenever those "Never Trumpers" try to shill for a new candidate....they get crushed, lol. The red wave is a Trump wave. And once Trump leaves politics for good, the conservative party will go back to being just as lame as ever with dinosaur establishment shills like Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush.
I think the grass roots conservatives, many of whom actually work (instead of talk) for a living, are better able to employ discernment because they have to in their everyday lives. I think you are mistaken; the conservative movement is not just a "cult of Trump". The conservative movement is comprised of a massive number of people in the U.S. who have gotten a craw full. Since 9-11, the political pendulum has veered too far to the left (in a strangely fascist sort of way); now it will massively correct to the right (or the nation will cease to exist). I'm reminded of a quote I read a while back: "Donald Trump was/is not just our candidate, he’s our murder weapon; the GOPe is our victim."
America isn't moving from left to right. It's moving from imperialist to nativist/nationalist. Lefty politics didn't do the country in, America's inherent fascist and militaristic nature did. Lefty cultural politics is just a cat amongst the pigeons while the Department of Defense bankrupts the country.
Libertarianism is the final (bad) argument for the existence of the state
@AkJono said in Toxicology vs Virology: Rockefeller Institute and the Criminal Polio Fraud:
@Hando-Jin
Yes it was correlated with DDT usage in the USA. Also in the milk made from cows, that kids drank. That is in this article too.My dad is a retired MD, and he says that of course "polio is a virus and we found the cure. " He will not accept that there is no proof of virus - ie any virus found in the wild, and 2 - that of course the science behind vaccines is sound. And he graduated Med school in 1960! and retired in 2017 or so. The programming goes deep.
What do you think is going on with the polio cases caused by the vaccines?
I also remember Ray talking about Arthur Guyton, who was stricken down with 'polio' after working on aerosolizing polio viruses at Fort Detrick.
