  1. I would use the drug or supplement just determine what the problem is, self testing. A drugs usefulness long-term is near zero
  2. lmao I think it’s pseudoscience, if it has theobromine then chocolate is a performance enhancer that has fatigue consequence. Strategically take it when you need to perform, but not every day. Looking at chocolate like tasty/nourishing food is the wrong mindset, it’s a powerful stimulant for mood and wakefulness/coherence.
  3. @undeather that’s fair enough, but it’s not enough to put warning labels, there needs to be science tracking the effectiveness at scale of these drugs and if doctors are actually using these tools effectively. there should be statistics tracking how often the drug improves the situation for a patient or makes it worse in practice and if it over 50% of the time it makes the situation worse than the drug should be banned because at a larger scale it is beneficial not to introduce it into the public because in practice doctors fail to use it effectively, even if it has the potential to be useful at scale it doesn’t work. Real-world requirements are different from the results in a laboratory or from studies, 99% of feedback doctors receive disappears, none of it is tracked. So we have all of this patient feedback data that is not being used as part of the large-scale strategy of healthcare. A drug could be highly effective in a specific situation but if at scale doctors Consistently miss apply it then it needs to be removed. we have no data on the effectiveness of drugs at scale because patient data is not record effectively. This is a problem of strategy at scale and not science. There is so much faith in doctors ability to use all these tools at the right time when in practice at scale they get it wrong 50-50. And this reality is not being tracked there’s no meta analysis of the effectiveness of doctors we just sweep it all under the rug and protect doctors from any consequences and doctors notoriously take no responsibility or ever admit they’re wrong in practice. They perfectly recite their paradigm that protects themselves from everything, “we did the best we could with the science we had”, and this is a strategic Blindspot because they approach their practice like a technician would not like an scientist/engineer but they don’t have the awareness that they’re making this mistake. The doctor in that video said that it’s unlikely Ciprofloxacin could cause these side effects. He also did not learn from that situation because he does not learn through trial and error with his patients like an engineer would, Doctors follow the scripture there given and repeat the same mistakes over and over again. So that doctor was unaware of the latest science which I assume most doctors don’t bother keeping themselves up-to-date even if it’s mandatory or they just can’t keep up with the massive workload. The majority of doctors are not rigourously Learning and applying their practice with great care, they fall into a rut and repeat the same thing over and over again because they’re humans doing a repetitive booring job. Most of the time when the doctor makes a mistake they sweep it under the rug as “we did the best we could” which blinds them from even acknowledging a mistake was made! So they learn nothing and they will repeat it again the next time because they’re blindly following the protocol Instead of thinking strategically like a scientist or engineer. The smartest thing a patient can do is use the doctor as a tool to help themselves and not blindly follow whatever the doctor tells him to do. This is obvious for anyone who had to go through the healthcare system themselves and survive it. The tools available are being used foolishly at scale and there’s no way to regulate it. Again at scale these drugs are misapplied it’s like rolling the dice. If a doctor every time they hear the word depression recommends an anti-depressant then they’re making a mistake half the time. It’s gamblers fallacy.
  4. Extreme antibiotic side effects causing a patient’s tendons to tighten up and tear. It’s been over three years and he has not fixed his symptoms it’s become a permanent crippling health disease it’s called Floxing. Caused by the drug Ciprofloxacin Is this drug still used today? Of course it is! Do doctors know that it could potentially cause lifelong debilitating health problems? NO! Because they don’t learn from their patients they learn from science.
  5. I know what you’re going through, because I have a similar problem but nowhere near as extreme as your case. I also use exercise to reset the system and reconnect externally. i’ve been doing this for years and cannot rebuild or create a permanent connection. You need to somehow remain mindful 24/7 and catch yourself when you start falling asleep/disconnecting. The problem is when you’re concentrating on a task it’s very easy to disconnect. Are you able to be aware and feel your entire body all at the same time and keep that state? have you tried experimenting with different substances to see if one of them helps you reconnect? I found chocolate or Coffee wakes the brain up and makes it a lot easier to stay connected for a longer period of time. LSD and mushrooms I found also create reconnection automatically without exercise but it comes at a price of fatigue it’s possible also that your brain is not producing enough dopamine, you might want to experiment with dopamine antagonist. Like l-dopa
  6. Young girls are clueless, they want friendship and so they think that random guys That talk to them also want to be friends. It’s only true some percentage of the time.
  7. There are no health benefits to dark chocolate all of that is pseudoscience
  8. Im sorry to hear that, it looks like lying is a justified adaptation 😅
  9. It also tends to be dehydration and nutrient depletion and exhaustion caused by the depleting/demanding requirements of substances. coupled with very poor recovery at night.
  10. People are going crazy for this game the reviews are insane and the only reason I could think is that people have not played the first dark souls and so are freshly entering this game in are unaware that this is just a water down version of a past masterpiece. This trend seems to happen a lot lately especially in anime where you have popular shows like jujutsu Kaisen that is a water down version of Naruto with less character development less life lessons and overall the genius behind the creation of previous work is not there and everyone is fooled because they have never been exposed to higher levels of work. i’m probably spoiled but it’s very difficult for me to play these games/movies when it is blatantly obvious that the creators did not capture the essence of what made the original so good. I understand it’s very difficult to be a creator. The 2 biggest problems with lies of P is that the map is linear with no exploration and the enemies take no intelligence or skill to defeat. All the bass enemies are very weak are stunned easily creating high levels of boredom that paired with a linear map where you just walk in a straight line. in the original dark souls every enemy require you to use your intelligence to defeat or else you will die even the most basic enemy would kill you if you didn’t understand them. And if you were lazy you died even to very basic enemies. The original dark souls the map was a spaghetti mystery every turn was a mystery everything looped back into something else there were reasons to backtrack and mysteries you couldn’t unlock the entire map was this big puzzle that you had to solve. The beginning of the map there’s a bunch of doors you can’t unlock until very later in the game where you figure out how to unravel these mysteries. Lies of P has none of that it’s a very linear game with no mystery at all.
  11. A hangover is sleep deprivation because whatever substance you took the night before impaired your sleep and you couldn’t enter deeper stages of sleep so you wake up the next day with a headache or brain fog or both.
  12. Women lie strongly in conflict situation’s to reduce backlash and negativity towards them. They’re not gonna tell you the truth in these kind of situation’s.
  13. Why are we criticizing the average gym rat? There is no reason to as far as you’re concerned building muscle and exercising is highly valuable because it will increase your total mitochondria and lower insulin, increase BDNF production and overall make you younger and healthier. Building an athletic strong body literally makes you younger and smarter. Forget the reasons other people are doing it, focus on why you should be doing it. there also seems to be hints of self deception where you’re trying to justify the fact that you don’t want to go to the gym and making the claim that going to the gym is stupid. A biased position a conflict of interest. just the power of BDNF production should be enough to get you in the gym and taking all this seriously.
  14. There is a very high chance another guy is in the picture and she’s not telling you about him. The situation is over you need to cut all contact. Allow the healing process to start and start dating other women she is not the one that’s why you guys are not in contact right now, You guys are not compatible that’s why you broke up there’s no future situation where you’re suddenly going to be compatible, you guys tried and it didn’t work time to find someone else and level yourself up
  15. Guys relax going to the gym is fun, building muscle and getting stronger is fun, doing athletic sports and challenging yourself is fun. if you’re doing it because you’re insecure and you’re desperate for a specific ego image of how you look like Then you missed appoint.
  16. I recommend reading the book integral relationships as a starting point, Also Leo has a video series called how to get laid.
  17. I personally know someone who was raped and when they reported it they were relentlessly attacked and questioned over the truth of the matter. Where some family members outright rejected her and told her to keep her mouth shut and stop making things up. Things like this happen all the time. So the world is brutal and people have their own agendas and lives they want to protect even at the expense of the truth.
  18. She received One year in prison but realistically the only reason she received any penalty was because she confessed. If she didn’t confess to lying there would’ve been no way to know the truth. it’s a gray area, we need to be biased towards helping women for the greater hole of society to function properly. The truth is not always obvious and if we scale the problem up to billions of people we need to make certain compromises that give us the best result and that compromise is that we stick to the side of women until the man is proven innocent. in non-criminal situation’s people pick sides based on the story. sometimes people believe the woman sometimes people believe the man, in criminal situations and investigation is put into place that does its best to figure out what is true. Cultures like Islam are going to be more biased towards men. And we can all see The consequences of that.
  19. I think it’s mind blowing with his health problems that he doesn’t have brain fog
  20. No, the answer is obvious so why are you fixated on this question?
  21. What this is pointing to is we cannot simply say someone is either an adult or not an adult, what we need is to acknowledge that there’s a spectrum of human development. i’m not sure how many things we could list that we could track but we could start with maturity, integrity, emotional mastery……. The list goes on and we could track these metrics and actually makes sense of things, calling someone an adult or not is a massive oversimplification.
  22. I like this perspective, many factors play a role in what your preferences are. How can you mold into a specific preference of moving and speaking if you haven’t seen it before? It seems impossible but maybe I’m wrong maybe it’s intuitive like sexual preference. If we go back in time people behaved completely differently and they took on a different role-play based on their preferences, so it seems strongly related to the culture they grew up in and what they gravitate towards. Black culture you could see that their style of speaking has a lot of mannerisms associated with that culture. It’s like that for every culture.
  23. I saw in one of Leo’s videos on detox that he was taking a 50 mg zinc capsule every three days. Zinc is highly toxic in the body when you exceed your bodies allowed threshold. I’m not speaking about toxicity as an afterthought I mean it will directly affect your conscious state of mind immediately and your sleep quality and quality of life. Excessive zinc in the body immediately within the minute affects your entire system and capacity to function 50 mg of a standard zinc capsule is completely toxic and should be avoided at all cost normally excessive zinc results in tension within your entire body and mind but Counterintuitively if you keep taking the zinc your body will adapt in a way where the symptoms reverse and you have low energy and experience a very major slow down. in the male body the only realistic way to eliminate zinc is through ejaculation. but if you’re loaded up to high you cannot eliminate it all with one session. You need trace amounts 1mg or less of zinc from supplement form to get your adequate amounts, the recommendations are dead wrong that you find on the Internet. your body is not using over 5 mg of zinc a day, These recommendations are ridiculous and hazardous, The biggest problem is that it’s a cumulative daily so you keep accumulating within your body and you just can’t eliminate it. bonus if you ever taken a zinc supplement you’ll know that the next day you’ll wake up with a insane erection and that’s your body trying to tell you to eliminate it.
