  1. I bet there's a market for a cheaper (and vegan) alternative to whey.
  2. You can buy them from pet shops I believe. Aquarium bros use them for their fish, but be careful. Apparently there is some bacteria in the duckweed that has been near fish.
  3. Regulations will have to be strict, but that is true of any food product.
  4. I also watched that video and I thought it was a bit exageratory, so I did some more research. It absorbs toxins and heavy metals like a sponge, so you have to grow it on the right water. It also destroys native ecosystems by blocking out sunlight. Once it is introduced it's impossible to get rid of. A single tiny plant can take over a whole pond like the flood from Halo.
  5. This issue is more about the electorates relationship to politics and democratic decline among the population. People willingly vote in your Trumps and view ICE as the police "finally serving justice". Fundamentally there is an issue of distrust of government, finding it all too obtuse and resentment over economic exclusion and policy that didn't garner civic consent like migration. Pretty good illustration of what I mean of the mindset that a lot of this people have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiE_chT_Cl4
  6. It's all the preservatives in them big macs he eats.
  7. It is a matter of substance, not style. Like, why do you assume that I'm not interested in the topic? You have a habit of jumping to conclusions.
  8. Claiming truth or expertise doesn't automatically make it so.
  9. I find the initial ideas about ND here interesting but lack the basic rigor to really take seriously. Knowledge is treated as exhaustive in a prescriptive manner while being based on broad generalizations and hard assumptions. The way that neurotypical people are flattened and charicatured borders on being like Incel logic. You might as well start calling them NPCs or something while your at it.
  10. Autism and CPTSD can have similar symptoms relative to the social domain.
  11. Inspired by that blog post about digging up dino bones for rich people (that belongs in a museum by the way). Compile here all unique careers and life purposes that you have come across so we can expand our imagination for what is possible. If it's online, paste a link and explain a little bit what makes it special and/or interesting or just write about it. Feel free to share your own life purpose. --- I'll start. This company is specialized in making food commercials. It's a highly artistic job that combines the culinary arts with cinematography and engineering.
  12. Communal living is how humans have survived for thousands of years, since before humans where recognizably sapien. It's the norm and it is social atomization that is the exception. Communal living is how humans survive in nature when they don't have a big government taking care of them. And it's clear atomization has certain issues and limitations that are dysfunctional, like increased loneliness, lack of purpose, poorer health and a society that is overall more fragile and dependent on institutional resources. Like when the housing market is in a bad place, it more readily stagnates and loses it's ability to give people dignified lives. In the middle-ages people had to be nearly completely self-sufficient with the exception of military, which was what the role of the king amounted to essentially (in simple terms). Middle-age people knew how to survive. And it absolutely is a matter of culture. Where did the notion that moving out or becoming completely financially self-sufficient are basic milestones of adulthood? Multi-generational homes are common in Italy and that is not a poor country. If there's no baseline appetite for valuing connection over independence, then the idea of multi-generational living becoming normative will never take off in a way that has cultural staying power. For a similar reason, you can't introduce western style feminism and democracy in the middle-east. Values determine what your willing to open your mind to, if at all. Survival ultimately decides what works and atomization is a survival strategy in a globalist economy. If the assumption that atomization is substantially dysfunctional then you'll see people opting into the alternative out of necessity, which is partially already the case right now in my opinion. Indians immigrants are a great example of a successful demographic which is strong in big part to strong family ties. That is a culture with family values (to borrow a historically misused term). Though granted it comes with downsides with pressures to conform. My vision of multi-generational living would minimize toxic conformity, but of course it is only realistically possible to maximally transcend conformity through autonomy. This whole thing is not meant for people who are trying to awaken.
  13. True, but generally you need autonomy to not be subject to conformist pressure. Good luck breaking from religion on your parent's money.
  14. People on this forum are overall going to have a greater bias and need for independence and avoid conformity. It's correct then to be more autonomous.
  15. Can only happen if you have the culture for it. The west is too independent minded to even consider it without interpreting it as a kind of failure.
