Watch his video on Ego Backlash

Yes they can but there is definitely a cut off point. You have to watch high quality well made movies that really get you thinking about important topics or bring out strong emotions in you. But you eventually hit a ceiling and just watching pixels on a screen is not gonna benefit you anymore.

Not all meat contains fear though. For example, hunters in the wild know that if they shoot a deer with a poor shot, and it struggles that meat is going to be very tense and full of fear because of the struggle the animal was dealing with. All those stress hormones were pumped out in the bloodstream to the tissues. If its a killshot, the animal dies right away and the meat is a lot better to eat.

Brace yourself against that wind, and its gonna pass

No prob, yes its much easier, just try new things here and there and switch some ingredients up. You will most likely want to anyway, your taste buds will be drawn to other things, get tired of it, re-introduce later maybe, the cycle continues

You can definitely have dietary staples but nutrient variety is essential. If you eat the same exact thing every day thats a way to develop nutrient deficiencies. But, you can use a template in a sense by keeping your core meals similar (protein source, fat source, carb source) and just throw in variations of those macros now and then. On the other end of the spectrum, don't go all over the place and start experimenting with entirely new foods all the time. Keep track of what foods your body responds to the best, what you personally enjoy and what nourishes you the most. Theres such a wide range of nutrients your body needs, you need to vary it up a little. Also you could be overexposed to certain foods and need to give them a break from time to time. Vary your proteins. Some times have chicken breast, sometimes have turkey, both are similar macros and are lean but not all the same. Sometimes get proteins with some more fat (egg yolks, fatty fish) but dont make that your only source because then your fat intake will probably be too high in time and maybe cholesterol. IMO its most important to get as much variety in fruits and veggies as possible. There are so many different phytochemicals out there. Think the rainbow, you want to get in all the colors of the spectrum as much as possible.

Spot on, I have experienced that existential groundlessness, where I can't put into words what it feels like but basically all you are left with is the fact you exist in the present moment.

Mushrooms can be very confusing. Its counter intuitive that while they can be really philosophical by nature, I would be careful of overthinking deep thoughts because you could just end up going in endless thought circles. Where it would come in handy to just let go of contemplating, focus on your breath and observe your awareness for a while.

Be authentic, be yourself. When someone says something you don't agree with, don't automatically agree with them just to avoid confrontation, respectfully either not show approval or state your disagreement. If you are in a social situation, be respectful to people, but don't give an ear to ear smile and slap on a bubbly persona if thats not what you are feeling inside. If someone tells you a joke you didn't find funny, don't fake laugh. If you are feeling amazing for whatever reason and have the natural urge, be energetic and outgoing, thats authentic. If someone tells you a joke you think is hilarious (even if other people there didn't get the joke) start tearing up with laugher if you have the urge. Thats authentic. Tease women, in a tasteful way. But be prepared to make fun of yourself as well. Don't take anything personally.

This is probably where you meet a crossroads of getting a good grade on this project and presenting truth in its rawest form. I wouldn't assert that reality is a hallucination or anything like that if you want a good grade. Maybe your subject matter could be mystical states/altered states of consciousness.

It really comes down to quality of the egg you are eating and lifestyle factors. How efficiently your heart works, your activity/energy demands, how many micronutrients/phytochemicals/antioxidants are you getting in the totality of your diet. Not black and white.

Which one are you going to get? I've had Lions Mane before from a different company, and it was from the mushroom fruiting body, and I didn't notice that great of an effect. Maybe a little bit. In this podcast Paul claims that lions mane from mycelium are a lot more powerful than the fruiting body, which is what he uses in the lions mane host defense product. I think im going to get that and see if its noticable. Should be a decent indicator about quality of his product if I notice a difference.

Heres another option, just be honest and come clean with her. Acknowledge what you sense building between the two of you and make it clear that while you care about her, you respect the fact that she has a boyfriend and you don't want to mess up her relationship. The ball is in her court, she will have to really think about her priorities. Maybe they won't be together for that much longer if you are right about them not being too serious. Theres a possibility she could start fronting and be like "oh no its not like that at all with us, we are just friends" as a defense mechanism to keep what you have. But don't settle for that, stand up for your convictions, while at the same time making it clear it has nothing to do with her and you really value her company.

Some clarifications to contextualize this better would be 1) how old are you and her? 2) what is your experience with long term relationships? Unless you have been in a relationship with a girl for at least 2 or 3 years, its easy to speculate that your initial feelings of attraction will last for years and years. Until you have been there done that multiple times and realize that initial bubble is going to burst, and for better or worse the relationship is going to evolve and transcend that. I'm not saying theres no chance she is the right one for you. But while you are in this position without a girlfriend, keep testing the waters, like actively put yourself out there talking and building connections to other girls and see if you might be able to find someone who you connect with and are attracted to just as much or maybe even more who doesn't have a boyfriend. Take advantage of the freedom of being single and being able to flirt with and pursue whoever you want.

Personally, I think the "once a cheater, always a cheater" is a popular, mainstream assumption. Its probably most often the case but I dont think is an absolute. It depends on how deep your connection is with this girl. Its probably likely to be a more lustful, physical attraction. Try to imagine what it would be like breaking up their relationship, you getting with her, and staying with her for years after your initial physical attraction and sparks have died. Would you be in some sort of soul-bond with her? Like a 100% conviction she is the one for you. Its likely that would not be the case IMO. And as for the notion that if she is flirting with you, their relationship is probably not good anyway, maybe that is the case but then it would probably dissolve on its own eventually or by other means so don't take it as your responsibility to free her from the relationship. Also try to put yourself in the shoes of her boyfriend.

Yes, precisely. If you care about more research being done about microdosing. If you feel like that is violating your privacy, don't do it. Also dont put your fingerprint in your iphone and also be sure to cover your computer and phone cameras with tape.

Please. The only information you provided, as per your posts, was that your BS detector was going off because he tells personal stories, sells things, and has appeared "multiple times" on the podcast (twice) as opposed to other guests appearing 10+ times. All you cited was a google search featuring a couple of reddit threads ("Paul giving me a weird vibe"/ "paul is a fraud because he supports organizations without real academic backing") and didn't make any sufficient points whatsoever as to how he is a scammer. Provide some solid evidence he is a scammer please other than your own gut feeling. Sure, I am biased towards him, lets say for kicks. Why do I support him? Because of the progress hes making in furthering the progress of the implementation of psychedelics in society and further understanding the properties of medicinal mushrooms. Hes pushing society forward in one of the most important aspects in raising the consciousness and improving the health of humanity. Lets say he is partially scamming people, which I don't believe, but I am open to the idea of. His research and understanding about biology could come in handy under a biological warfare waged by some country, specifically referring to how he could develop natural antidotes based on his unique body of knowledge. I bet you wouldnt care whether or not he was scamming you then if he could potentially contribute into saving hundreds of millions of lives perhaps including your own if an epidemic like that happened. So again, provide some solid evidence he is scamming.

I havent done mescaline/San Pedro but from what the accounts Ive seen it seems to be the most gentle and grounding. The tricky part is getting the right dose of mescaline from the cacti. As far as research chemicals, in the video Leo made about AL-LAD that seems to be a very good beginner psychedelic. And from my own experience a low to moderate dose of psilocybin mushrooms is very warm and friendly. I wouldnt go past 1.5g. Even though my first trip was 2.7g, and my heart opened up so much, it was the most amazing feeling of being content in my own skin, i was on a beach doing them with my girlfriend, we were the only ones on the beach.

Do resistance training, increase meal frequency, add in liquid calories which are easier to intake. A shake with lets say a carb source like fruit, a fat source like avacado/peanut butter/ and a protein source like a powder or egg white, ect. Resistance train 3x a week full body, eat a real food meal around an hour or so afterwards, and the weight gain hack here being consume the liquid calories after the solid meal.

Talks a lot about holistic, integrative medicine, epigenetics, how our society needs to change health-wise. Other topics include psychedelic plant medicines, the power of the mind-body connection, power of laughter, how to fear/trauma of the animals we eat can be transferred to us through food, ect. Dr. Weil is one of the best recourses for health and nutrition without a doubt. I would also check out his podcast appearance on Joe Rogan.

The egg on my face tastes better than what that insecurity about body fat feels like on your ego.

No ones getting defensive, and thats just your own judgement of him, not actuality. If you don't want to listen to him no one is forcing you or to comment in this thread. Your notion of health is extremely simplistic and misguided.

Yes, just because someone is a little chunky (not grossly overweight by any means) especially for a man his age (77 years old) doesn't mean they aren't in great health mentally and physically.

That is a lot of speculation and judgement about one of the main pioneers of integrative medicine. I'm pretty sure he has his health basics covered.

So what exactly makes him a scammer? Because some guy on reddit had a bad customer service experience or thinks his products are inferior? And some guy is skeptical of his experience of entering the "multiverse" on psilocybin? lol Sounds like a collective ego backlash to what he is doing.
