Liquid courage is the old adage

Maybe it is to see through it, rather than see it

Really? His off-the-cuff speaking voice is whack as shit in terms of modulation. Sometimes he has a bit of word salad and lots of odd repeated phrasing. In addition, his general speaking tone can be VERY emotive. Aggressive, assertive, incredulous. I am all good with that tbh, doesn't stop me, as it reads like passion and conviction. In contrast, his audiobooks (I have listened to them many times) are a lot calmer. Thoughts, word pacing and phrasing is a lot more coherent. I am able to focus on the book in a leaner way that enhances digestion. Often I will return and relisten many times. I really enjoy that the audiobook is narrated by Ralston himself. I do not mind the tonal/pace change at all. If it were narrated by anyone else I would not be so captured. Different strokes ay?

Kinda hard to really engage or take any back-and-forth seriously when it is pure anecdotes, n = 1 experiments, and disregards unique genetics and physiology

Can you see how your answers are somewhat circular? The way you have answered here, prompts me to ask the questions again. As they were not addressed. None of this tells us what an atom is. Or what an atom is made of, and what it is further made of. What is at the 'bottom' so to speak.

What is a field of reality? What is reality? What is a vibration? What is coherence? In your words, how you define them.

@Breakingthewall What is an atom?

Are you afraid of emptiness, nothingness. No-thing? No real words for it. But you know what I point to. Or is it that you feel it is nihilistic? I notice you fear anything cold. Abstract. Empty. You always steer away from it. This would be somewhat limiting your worldview and understanding. due to avoiding a large part of enquiry. The problem with this 'absence of limits' is that that is ONLY how experience shows up. It is not what reality is made of. 'Emptiness' is what experience is MADE of. Experience without a centre.

The only time I am able to clearly separate concept from experience is at the point of orgasm.

Personally, I would prefer the book narrated by yourself, Leo. Over anyone else. Just preference, as you are a good orator. Get good 😈 New skill. Train brain. 😀 You would retch at how I pronounce vowels and consonants. They merge together into one drawl, and aussie accent/slang naturally abbreviates everything into monosyllabic trash

@Ramasta9 I mean yeah I speak from experience. I was chronically low on sodium for years. Doctor recommended upping my salt intake and it was a major turning point in my life. This is why I keep asking for widespread studies or more data. We have no idea if modern humans have adapted to salt. I feel like total shit without it. Can't think. No muscle impulse. Weak. Lightheaded. This was years and years of it prior to supplimenting with salt.

You never know - *I* could be the freaky one. My blood pressure is so low, usually if I am admitted to hospital, or see a GP who is not my regular, they attempt to sit me down and not let me walk around/get up for fear of passing out and hitting my head. I am not joking. I have had a few incidents where I have been restrained/labelled 'non-compliant' due to insisting I am okay and walking / standing. So my low blood pressure is anomalous. Way below what is normal. This is a genetic thing that runs in my family. I have been in emergency and pulled out saline bags because the nurses insist on pumping me so full of it to try to raise BP I end up bloated and ill. So this is the reason I add salt for sodium. I do not know how else to source it in my diet easily through food. I cannot fit much more volume into my diet as it is. And I only weigh 48kg @ 162cm. It is not like I overeat due to my additional salt intake.

And to be clear, I am talking about a normal, balanced amount of added salt. Not excessive.

I haven't ever seen a study displaying the age defying effects of low salt. There could be so many variables contributing to this sort of persons apparent aging, as you seem to also highlight that low salt is usually hand in hand with some form of raw veganism / vegan etc diets. There are way too many other lifestyle factors that could be present that could account for the effects. Not to mention genetic variability. Why do you think there are not more widespread general studies aligning with your premise? I haven't come across many controlled studies showing evidence salt is harmful. How do we know the human body has not evolved genetically to tolerate higher salt? After all, it was used as a preservative to maintain foods to avoid famine. It was essential for survival prior to refrigeration. It was a traded commodity in ancient Rome, Africa, China, Medieval Europe & India. Humans evolve to their conditions. Salt is the easiest way to get enough sodium for me. Nerves, muscles, blood pressure all rely on it. The volume of vegetables and fruits I eat, mean I need to intake additional salt as I am getting huge amounts of potassium and magnesium in my diet. As well as high intensity exercise most days. I deplete sodium very quickly. I add salt to my water on occasion if I feel my focus slipping and I am not experiencing low blood sugar. It enhances focus. Scientific consensus backs this. In addition, I still do not understand why making foods more palatable with sodium/salt is bad for health, provided it is done in a balanced way... the term 'addiction' is being thrown around and used WAY too liberally. People who do not have issues/disorders surrounding food do not usually use this term applied in this way. I am convinced when I see backed up, cohesive arguments for these sorts of topics. Widespread data. And I usually self experiment. Removing all salt from my diet lowered my blood pressure in a very detrimental way to my functioning. Unfortunately you make a lot of statements without any sort of widespread backing. I do see you mention some niche cherry picked sources but nothing with any sort of consensus. I drink miso soup as part of breakfast every day. I just do not overeat with additional salt in my diet.
