It's not arching over anything. I'm not being poetic. Interpretation = reality. But, I'm not saying reality isn't mysterious. It just seems that there's turtles all the way down. As long as you desire to know, it will be mysterious. It's infinite. When you reach "that", what made "that"? And so on. All explanations require another explanation. "Why" is always limited by definition. So, in a sense it spawns from nothing. But in another sense it spawns from an infinite number of reasons, and since "infinite" doesn't have an actual beginning or genesis, It's both at once. There is no beginning or end to it. Your existence right now is a paradox. There's really nothing (literally) stopping gravity from not working tomorrow, but there's also nothing stopping it from working. It seems the dream has a bias towards the latter, so it dreams consistency. But ultimately consistency is imagined, and I think you're intuiting that by realizing how arbitrary all these rules and stuff are. Why is snow white instead of green? It only seems normal and consistent because you, again, imagine a story which tells you "snow is supposed to be white because of this and this and this etc." and so you spiral into the infinite story again. Also, nice profile picture change. I think it suits you well.

These are symptoms of closed-mindedness, not open-mindedness. Simply venturing into new ideas is not open-mindedness. Open-mindedness is more like the ability to see things without bias. It actually takes a lot of open-mindedness to see you are being gaslighted.

Isn't this all just based on the premise that cholesterol = bad? That aside, what about the effects of oxidization and the extreme processing that oils (such as canola) go through? Once they are processed they are far from natural.

The mobile UI isn't as good as the desktop website, but it still works. I haven't had any outstanding issues with it. If you want the desktop UI, just switch to desktop mode, which will give you the exact same UI as usual. And also it might help to make sure your phone isn't elongated to an absurd degree.

Nah it's an old picture lol

It's all a well-made story you can imagine to justify why you can live and survive as a human being right now. That's one interpretation. There are many "whys" you can come up with. An infinite amount, maybe. But ultimately, it's all to experience "this", whatever that entails. Your experience is completely and utterly unique. To not be able to experience "this" is a limitation on God. Maybe God wanted to experience itself questioning "why couldn't things be another way?". You are an attack helicopter. An attack helicopter is equally as human as anything else. Literally. Your perception of a helicopter is extremely human. It's not that God has the option to abandon "you" and become a helicopter, this specific interpretation of a helicopter is only possible through you.

Simply, you don't feel full because your body can't keep its energy stable enough. It needs more food to feel more stable, and so it craves more food to achieve that. The cravings have an intelligence to it, it's not just because your body hates you or something. It doesn't use energy efficiently enough for you to feel full after eating a nutritious meal, it wants refined carbs on top of that, because it has become very dependent on a steady influx of dietary refined carbs for energy. Key word, "recommended". The recommended carb intake is also like 300g or something. BTW, there are many studies showing that calorie restriction increases lifespan.

I thought he must be relaying what he wants tweeted to them somehow. It looks exactly like what he would tweet and say, unless someone else has been doing that all along, or is able to replicate it. Also, even if it isn't him, my point still applies.

I think this is actually "normal", as in it occurs frequently and is well-documented. It's called a hypnopompic hallucination. It seems it is more common as a kid. Mystical experiences in general tend to be more common as a kid at the baseline state.

Oof. That's pretty damning. Who knew all that ethanol gets converted into a class 1 carcinogen at the liver.

Personally never experienced this

Yes

If I had to guess, I would say he's using his "If I don't believe in depression it doesn't exist" method here Anyways, his recent tweets in general have been very odd

If you existed forever as a limited human identity, would that then make a point? If you couldn't die? What does the ideal scenario look like? BTW, have you ever looked into Franz Kafka's work? I think you would really resonate with his philosophy:

I used to think it was really dumb, because I would drink a lot and it would taste bad and I wouldn't feel much different. Plus, it's a diuretic, so all it would really do for me is make me piss a lot for no reason. It turns out I just have a high tolerance, so I needed to go for harder alcohols (20% alcohol or more) like vodka and whiskey. I like having them combined with some kind of soda or something sweet. But, I've also noticed that my tolerance for exogeneous stimulants in general is very high, even caffeine doesn't have much of an effect on me, so you shouldn't expect to have the same tolerance as me. I would start off with a 5% alcohol drink like a White Claw or something and see how it affects you. If you're normally very introverted, you'll probably find its effect on your state very interesting. I think it's worth experiencing. It will make you more social and easy-going, there will be less filters on what you think and speak. It's a nice feeling. I still don't like wine or beer, they taste awful and don't do much for me. I know that people get addicted to alcohol, but I don't find it to be addictive at all. Maybe because I'm already very health-conscious. I only ever drink it if I'm going to some social event and they happen to have it there, otherwise I've never purposefully gone out and bought it for myself.

Our technology and lifestyles are probably advancing faster than our development can handle. It's analogous to giving a chimpanzee a knife. An intelligent person uses the knife to prepare food. An unintelligent person harms themselves with it.

Lol modern cooking is funny in that way. Then you have people who sous vide their meat (boiling it while it is encased in plastic) and that's considered high quality. This is exactly how I perceived food when I was addicted to refined carbs, all that mattered was how it tasted, that was "high-end" and "satisfying". My body's perception has entirely changed since then and I only see "high quality" in things that are genuinely nutritious now.

As Tate said: "I'm risking cancer to look like a mafia boss. I know what I'm doing."

Invoke nostalgia. And then really hone in on those feelings you had before, and ask yourself, why can't you have it now? What does it take to integrate that into your current experience? Go back to what you enjoyed as a kid and reminisce on it. You can use music to do this, or even going for a walk or eating a specific kind of food or playing a certain video game. I've recently awakened some sort of sensitivity by doing this, but it might also be related to this supplement I recently started taking called myo-inositol, or maybe a combination of that and nostalgia has triggered something inside me. Also, socializing helps since it pushes you out of overly-logical thinking. Talk with friends or family or something. Or just go chill at a café so that you're in some sort of new and social setting. And also, allow your experience to be experienced without your mental models and mental input. Let your keyboard be a keyboard instead of "God" or "Infinite Consciousness" or "illusion". Let your experience manifest itself how it wants to and let it play with your imagination however it wants.

What happened?

Yes. You can't go from stuffing your face with food every hour for your entire life to not eating for 21 days.

Lmao Honestly that old building seems analogous to the forum

I think you went for like a week long water fast once or something, and I recall you saying in one of your blog videos that your energy levels were the best that you've experienced in a while? Anyways, I did a 40 hour fast once. I already had lots of experience fasting prior, I was able to go 24 hours without any real difficulty. Long story short, without getting into more details, I ended up getting nauseous and vomiting, but immediately afterwards, I felt serious mental clarity for like a month or more. Like some fog or invisible force had been lifted off of my head. My mood was better. I stopped getting angry over stupid things. It fixed my anger issues and made me much more calmer and happier. It almost seemed like it detoxed heavy metals or something. Even my heartbeat was much more stable and less erratic. I am more on the skinny side, btw. I tried looking into why I would've vomited, but no conclusive answers, aside from some ideas about how the liver might have dumped too much toxins into my bile or something. So yeah, fasting is a personal and intuitive thing that you have to be aware of.

Guys, there's nothing wrong with imagination. Remember the SpongeBob episode with the cardboard box?

You gotta let go of wanting other people to understand you. You understand yourself perfectly. That's enough. You don't have to prove or justify yourself to yourself, because you are yourself. And you know that you're just doing the best you can. Any other understanding that comes from other people is just extra cherries on top.
