Schizophonia

Why do some people want to do everything to increase their longevity? Even if it is boring/stressful on a daily basis ? It looks like a mental illness. Besides, most of the oldest people in the world aren't even nutrition nazis, on the contrary, very chill people who indulge in any kind of pleasure.

Ok I haven't posted any studies yet and I don't even know which of my claims you are talking about that you refute what I MIGHT say. In addition, you justify this by saying that the results found on google (perhaps you are arrogantly assuming that I am too stupid to check the sources.) will not be reliable anyway because they are too mainstrem, but you go on to saying that, on the other hand, basing myself on more marginal sources like ray peat is cherrypicking. At such a level, why bother writing all this rather than simply "shut up, I'm right"? I don't even know if Peat mentioned DHT, the action of DHT on GABA signaling is universally recognized. Incidentally, as studies on the links between hormones and neurotransmitters are still rather vague, nothing is written in stone and I allow myself to take the lead in issuing hypotheses. The point is that given the greater affinity of DHT and its metabolics for androgen receptors in the brain compared to testosterone, the lack of aromatase from DHT in the pituitary, and anyway sensations felt by many users of transdermal DHT users on meso rx / RPF, I say (maybe wrongly, eh) that DHT is more GABAeric than testosterone. Ditto All you did is not read and rushed to your keyboard to write in a watered-down way that I'm a jerk who has to read only nonsense anyway, and that you're right anyway without even having to check anything or think about anything because you are smarter and more reasonable than anyone else.. What is the point of this question? Better Signaling GABA has an anxiolithic and pro-social action to some extent. I may have misunderstood, I am not an English speaker All I did was say that vegans probably have less DHT/androsterone/androstenedione and maybe more estrogen and that could potentially be feminizing. Even with 0 DHT having a lot of testosterone will increase the risk of prostate cancer. No unless you take benzodiazepines or dissociatives daily, which is obviously dangerous. Zinc, magnesium etc will never be as effective and over-consuming them in an effort to increase gaba signaling can cause mineral imbalances. Besides, I'm not depressed, and the gaba/glutamate axis is not at the heart of depression. This is just personal experience, I never said it was good to be exposed to huge levels of DHT all the time. My only assertion is that proper levels of DHT are good for mental health, male fertility, libido, estrogen control etc. That's all. Don't pretend not to understand what I wanted to explain in my "metaphor". I didn't say "eating goitrogenic foods makes you hypothyroid". Brassicas do not create a "massive" decrease in cancer risk because they decrease thyroid function. They are associated with such a reduction because they are complete foods, natural, and therefore rich in polyphenols / vitamins / minerals that are the source of this quality. So it's off topic. Besides, I was wrong! It's black tea that's anti androgenic, green tea is actually associated (in studies I've seen) with increased blood levels of testosterone AND DHT, despite a decrease in the weight of cancer cells in the prostate. (in a mouse study that you will quickly understand). Or maybe, on the contrary, the increase was due to a decrease in the absorption of androgens in the cytosol (hence the increase in androgens in the blood when fasting)??? Anyway, black and green tea had the same anti-cancer property, so it's more complicated than a story of androgens. I'm not against goitrogenic foods, it was just a metaphor to explain my point, I don't know why you insist on it. That's true, but again I didn't say having huge levels of DHT was good. I return the question to you, do you have concrete proof that depriving yourself of a normal/slightly high level of DHT and the various advantages is worth the cost. I don't believe it will decrease my risk of prostate cancer by 3000% and improve my life expectancy by several years, joking aside I don't believe it's significant. But as I don't take you for an idiot, I'm ready to read if you have sources, I also care about my health

What AD did you use ? Maybe it's low prolactin ? Maybe you have, for some raisons, too high estrogens. Too high estrogen can cause high "manic" libido, you can test you're estradiol levels to survey that.

what is the problem with fruit?

I didn't say vegans have less testosterone. I made it clear that a number of foods consumed in large portions by vegans decrease androgen sensitivity and/or the conversion of testosterone into stronger androgens. You see the difference, don't you? I don't have to bother dropping you pubmed studies that you can literally find in 10 seconds on google. Did I deny this? I just said that green tea could have an anti-androgen action. Yes, you want good amounts of DHT because it is a significant benefit for fertility and mental health. DHT and its metabolites are much more effective allosteric positive regulators of GABA receptors than testosterone alone. DHT is also needed to antagonize estrogen receptors. I regularly play with my hormones and do blood tests, when my DHT is low I become depressed and passive aggressive. When I pump my DHT through the roof with my DHEA + raw milk + caprylic acid + very strong coffee + creatine + sorghum "milkshake" solution I become extremely calm and sociable. In this case testosterone does not change (around 800ng/dl) and neither does e2, but DHT is at literally double the other range. Anything anti androgenic will theoretically limit prostate cancer. Testosterone does that too, DHT is just stronger. That's like saying goitrogens are anti-carcinogenic because they make you hypothyroid. Being hypothyroid will technically make you less prone to developing cancer by lowering the whole hormonal cascade, but you don't want that.

spot on

I've soaked beans for several days in a row in basic water before pressure cooking them for an hour. I still had gas and bloating

@KobywithaY You need carbohydrates, without carbohydrate your production of gnRH and therefore testosterone will be very affected. Shawn Baker is hypogonadal, Tufano was too... (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3205187/) You do not consume dairy products, if you are young and more stressed by exercise and poor sleep under you need a lot of calcium, like 2g per day. (https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/milk.shtml) You may also be hungry, you should eat at least 2500 calories per day at 19 if you are sedentary and not very tall (under 180cm), if you are active AT LEAST 3000 calories per day on average. Try to include at least 300g of carbohydrates per day, if you want to avoid starches take milk, fruits, fruit juices, honey, maple syrup etc. example : Breakfast -> well cooked gluten free oats with maple syrup and frozen berries Lunch -> 6 eggs fried in some butter with 100g of Parmesan pieces (or other less expansive raw cheese) , whites pasta or rice. As a "dessert", 500ml of orange juice, Red bull or mexican/european coke. Dinner -> 3/4 fresh oysters with citrus or pig/beef heart (less expansive) , one big sweet potatoe. Snack before bed -> "milk shake" raw milk, honey/maple syrup and two whole raw eggs, 2 big tablespoon of beef gelatine for diminish cortisol (https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/gelatin.shtml) Admit that it makes you want

Many vegans will consume products that greatly reduce androgen sensitivity and/or the conversion of testosterone into much more androgenic hormones (DHT, then androsterone, androstenedione…). These products are Tea (especially green), polyunsaturated fats, lauric acid (coconut oil), certain edible seeds such as pumpkin seeds, brown rice, certain nuts (apart from fats)… So even though they may have normal and sometimes even high testosterone levels, they may become more effeminate in their behavior, way of thinking and appearance over time. The effect is all the more dramatic on children and especially adolescents where a high level of DHT and downstream hormones is essential for the. masculinization. Most of the vegan boy kids I see on YouTube look like chicks.

@Enlightement @Thought Art Weird. For me it has always been pure chaos/nihilism. Not mean, but meaningless. Even 4 HO MET which was supposed to be a nice enough tryptamine was actually more serious/deep to me. I don't have that with other tryptamines. Maybe too much sensitivity to the dopaminergic agonism of LSD and that skews the trip. I dunno.

You forget to specify that the sardines and the pork are only one ingredient, possibly salt. Men are not herbivores, no one wants to eat beans and brown rice, this is incredibly boring especially if your calorie demands are high, plus it gives you gas, possibly poorer cognition due to endotoxins etc. So you're obviously going to cheat by making "bean and oatmeal patties" armored in spices that vaguely resemble meat to make it more edible. With baked potatoes, because obviously you don't like the stuffy starchy texture of potatoes and baking them in the oven allows you to pass it all off because the taste of the thin cooked layer due to the reaction of mayard on your potatoes reminds you of the unami taste of animal proteins. A little ketchup and you're ready to eat then post on actualized.org that veganism is awesome, like the sjw "supremeyingyang" above you who supposedly literally blocked me for politely feeding my own topic, because he didn't like my questions. -> Stop lying to yourself

Just because something improves LDL cholesterol markers doesn't mean it's healthy. 1) Your vegetable oils are already largely rancid (oxidized) when they are sold in supermarkets, even olive oil rich in oleic acid and therefore supposed to be more resistant to oxidation is easily oxidized. They are simply not products that can be bottled for a long time and you will smell it anyway with a bitter dirty taste. 2) You can't deny that eating high amounts of polyunsaturated fat is modern. Even if you subscribe to the vegan thesis that humans are starch eaters you are automatically in favor of the oxidation of saturated fats because the fats created from glucose are overwhelmingly long chain saturated fats and oleic acid (omega 9). Muscles at rest consume a lot of fat and these fats are preferentially saturated 3) Polyunsaturated fats are estrogenic and carcinogenic. https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/the-carcinogenic-and-estrogenic-effects-of-pufa.22048/ You can see ray peat's other works.

why no fruit ?

I always want to jerk off on LSD.

Sorry I'm not awake yet, but if you believe in solipsism why are you asking people on this forum questions when they don't exist. Or do you think that in another dimension god dreams of them and that ultimately it comes down to the same thing? something like that ? + tomorrow I have 300ug of lsd waiting for me normally, I'll think about it

Lol, I regularly play with my hormones and am regularly over 1200ng/dl of testosterone. I'm not at all more aggressive unless my e2 is out of control. What is true, however, is that testosterone can make you meaner, not by making you more aggressive or angry (because androgens tend to calm you down) but by making you more permissive. The more testosterone you have, the less guilt you have in your actions and have an "I do what I want" mentality. You won't want to be vegan, you won't want to be part of a charity, you won't want to follow a religion, you won't want to be orthorexic, you won't want to welcome migrants to your country and be kind to criminals, you will not want to be prevented from using and selling drugs, you will not want to be prohibited from being homosexual or part of a social minority etc etc etc. It's the hormone of libertarians if you will.

Testosterone does not increase aggression, it just makes you more confident and therefore likely to assert your anger/displeasure on an ad hoc basis. Testosterone also increases the release of cothecholamine so you can be more impulsive. Otherwise testosterone and androgens actually make you more relaxed and sociable, the sometimes observable association between testosterone and aggression comes from testosterone converting to estrogen (particularly estradiol), which is actually the cause of increasing aggression AND manic libido by increasing the signaling/release of serotonin, histamine, and other neurotransmitters involved in this type of behavior.

Paris is a very expensive shit hole, ethnically replaced by Africans, and sometimes dirty. There is also regularly a huge traffic jam at rush hour if you live in the outskirts or even outside the Ile de France. If you come to France, go to cities like Bordeaux or Strasbourg, or even better in the provinces (Alps, Périgords, Gers, Pyrenees-Orientales (not Perpignan, it's a shit hole!) etc).

You say nonsense, I literally spent two decades in France (all my existence in fact) and I have never heard of orgies, as in all countries there must be some but in an extremely marginal way. And there are also no "frog soups" there are restaurants, sometimes, that offer frog legs, usually cooked with butter and air like snails. Do you have a problem with this. And there is no hint of Nazism in Germany, it's just in your head. And the French are actually probably more conservative than the Germans, on average.

I may have misunderstood your answer, but I meant romantic in the philosophical (and artistic) sense of the term. "Idealist if you will" Nihilists do not commit suicide, they are idealists in cognitive dissonance who do. This idea of suicidal nihilists in the collective unconscious comes from a sociological bias, the majority are (even unconsciously) idealists, both by attavism and by cultural background, and are ultimately confronted with nihilist ideas only in troubled situations see dramatic. You are nihilistic if you embrace, accept, this vision of life and of the world. Although obviously the worldview is more complicated and subtle than these terms.

I'd rather be a nihilist than a romantic, which induces a form of idealism.

What do you mean by "death is imaginary"? Saw it from Leo and other people. What will happen when I'm old and my body is going to fail, my brain is going to malfunction, etc. This question has been asked several times but I haven't seen a clear answer.

You don't have to answer me on this topic, no one has to answer me. I'm not a spammer so I'm not getting any replies I'll stop and that's it. I just ask, in a polite and simple way, to have it explained to me why my nihilistic "ideas" are wrong, but all I get in return seems fuzzy and irrational, and if I dig I get surprisingly hostile reactions or calls for silence, whether here, at the university, etc.
