    Respectfully disagreeing with Leo about Crypto
    Crypto is dumb, but stocks are legit. You just gotta pick solid companies and hold for years. Stocks generate real value, not as trades but from the work and innovation of the people in the companies.

    Is Dark Chocolate Net Positive? (Heavy Metals)
    That's not good enough of an epistemic evaluation . 
    pseudoscience is not synonym for bullshit. Pseudoscience means there isn't enough science yet which leaves a lot of room for uneducated interpretation, this has been happening all the time throughout the history of humanity.  It can also mean that there is actually so much science that the public is left overwhelmed and people just sort of make up their own pseudoscientific conclusions based on hearsay, feeling, marketing and guessing. Pseudoscience can also be a source of future science for example an accumulation of personal anecdotes can be a stage of of clinical trial design eventually.
    Personal anecodes become collected as Case Studies -> those are being collected by doctors as case series -> sufficient amount of case series may trigger first experimental case control studies or cross sectional studies -> with enough data and time and money, these may progress into retrospective cohort studies and later on with more funding and data into prospective studies -> eventually RCTs and if we get enough of everything, the data will be systematically reviewed and meta-analysed.
    At that stage because so much has been collected, we can have faith that what the science shows is probably more reliable than hunches and guesses although it does not mean it has 100% correct answers, just makes it more likely that the true effect has probably been captured relatively precisely....with more time it will either be narrowed down further or actually the direction may start changing. 
    Who says all health benefits are coming down to theobromin, I think its just one of many compounds that are responsible for the effects. Kinda like green tea. There are probably hundreds of polyphenols in cocoa that we have no knowldge on. 
    To me , DC falls into a category of processed foods that are beneficial and their benefits outweight the cost until they start tipping you over your caloric limit, causing weight gain and at that point they become more harmful than beneficial. Some other examples of such category would be: seed oils, nut butters, plant butters, plant-based meat replacements, wholegrain bakery, starchy foods etc/.

    How does materialism demystify reality?
    No. They just never cared about truth in the first place.
    It took me decades just to realize that truth is a value very few humans actually have.
    Once you understand that, it all makes sense.

  4. Get more energy?
    Get more energy?
    Get your blood work done. Check your thyroid and hormones. Many people have thyroid or hormone imbalances. Low energy is often associated with under-active thyroid.
    Of course cleaning up your diet is very important. If you eat shit you will feel like shit. Stop eating all wheat products and all junk food. Carb heavy foods make you extra sleepy.
    You should also do a urine test for heavy metal toxicity. Heavy metals like mercury and lead cause all sorts of energy problems. There are detox protocols for detoxing heavy metals if you have them.

    How does materialism demystify reality?
    No one cares about reality. They are just using reality to survive, like monkeys.
    Your mistake is assuming that people care. Even scientists and philosophers don't really care.

    Trump doesn't really have a life purpose. His only purpose is to puff up his ego and create illusions of success.

    Leo, how are you handling the heat wave?
    A typical Vegas summer day.
    There is a pine forest on a mountaintop 45 mins drive from Vegas where the weather is perfect room temperate in the summer. I go there to hike and hang out. It's perfect.

    There are many factors.
    Mental illness is a big factor.
    Misuse of the mind is a big factor.
    Bad childhood and parenting is a big factor.
    Bad life choices is a big factor.
    Health is a big factor.
    Lack of socialization is a big factor.

    When I lived in Dallas I would go out from 11pm-1:30am.
    My doctor friend in Vegas goes out 11pm-12:30am and only collects phone numbers because he has to work in the mornings.

    We have suicidal people on this forum. Plenty of them in the mental health sub-forum. It's sad and I hope they seek out face-to-face help because a forum is not enough to fix that.
    I have spoken to some of them and they are very stuck. Unfortunately I don't have the time nor skill to coach every one of them.
    I've gone through very difficult health problems so I understand how hopeless and miserable life can get.

    Presidential Debate + RFK
    Bernie's radicalness is what makes him authentic, which makes him appealing over everyone else who is just a group-thinking corporate stooge.
    Focusing on practical working class issues is exactly what makes you radical. Because the radical is the one who is a real threat to power. And power is business as usual and exploitation as usual.

    Bias. Americans are brainwashed with consumer American culture and live in an American bubble. They don't travel. They aren't educated. They have the same level of development as Trump or Bush so they see him as one of their own.
    To be fair, other countries and cultures are also stupid in this way. They all fall for nationalist vibes and strongmen. China, India, Hungary, Russia, France, UK, Italy, Brazil, etc.
    Remember those C and D students from high school who were ignorant and lazy and sloppy and didn't even try for excellence? Well, there are 100+ million of them and guess who they will be voting for? They couldn't find China on a map if you gave them a million dollars. These people live like animals. They do not think or develop themsleves, they run on group-think. They haven't sat down to contemplate a damn thing in their lives. They do what church or boss or friends tell them. Friends drink, they drink. Like monkeys. This is your average voter. So what can you expect? They have zero understanding of how government works. All they understand is vibes. Own those gay pedo Libs! That is the level of thinking that we're dealing with.
    The #1 predictor of whether you will vote for Trump is simply your education level. The more ignorant you are the more appealing Trump appears.
    And if you were highly intelligent you would see that Trump is a dangerous degenerate within 5 minutes of hearing him. But of course, no one wants to admit that they are that ignorant. It's too painful, so instead excuses are made for why Trump seems appealing or reasonable.
    But the simple truth is that Trump's entire political movement is pure idiocy and depravity. No better than Hitler's relative to his time.

    I won't go so far as to call him a con-artist. I think he genuinely believes in what he's doing. It's just that he lives in one of those tech-bro bubbles with too much money and no deeper values or purpose.

    All that means is that he has good genetics.
    He didn't create it for himself. In fact, all of his success is built atop that foundation of solid health, which he assumes everyone who follows him also has, but they don't.
    You cannot bluster and bullshit your way into good health. You use good health to bluster and bullshit. This is what the entire health industry is built upon: people with great genetics singing about how healthy they are and how you can be like them when in fact you can't unless you got good genetics too.
    Taking mushroom supplements and New Age herbs is not going to give you Owen's level of health. He's just fooled himself on that point because he takes his own health for granted.
    Just to be able to do pickup consistently requires good health. Because it demands so much energy. All this is taken for granted within the community.
    This doesn't mean Owen lying, his worldview just takes certain things for granted because he is not focus on truth, he is focused on selling you a dream of success.

    @VictorB02 You gotta learn the lesson that phone numbers don't mean shit. They give them out 30 times a week. You're one of 30 dudes she gave it to.
    Girls give you a phone number just to get rid of you.

    Everyone knows what a dream is. You have them every night.
    Now just expand that notion into a more crystalized dream, which you call your life.
    If your night dream was coherent and lasted 80 years you would just call it life.
    That's because there is no other, more realer reality.
