I work for a state-owned financial institution in the EU and the conditions are pretty good: 30 days of paid leave, paid health insurance, great salary (for being entry level), flexible working time (I’m only expected to be available from 10:00 to 16:00, the rest of the 8 hours I can work whenever I want), job feels exciting and meaningful (cybersecurity). However, I’m still not so sure how to feel about the fact that I’m in the end a slave to my boss (she is an amazing and compassionate person btw) and don’t have full freedom. Also I have to interact with some colleagues I don’t really like, but nothing too bad or abusive. Would it be really bad to compromise on this for all the above? Spirituality is one of my top values and I don’t feel it clashes with my job, as I can do spiritual work on the weekends and holidays (which I have a lot).

You are the light your memory looks to remember! Your body is full of tiny light sparks called biophotons, made inside your cells by sunlight and oxygen, lighting up your DNA and keeping everything in sync, like a natural glow that makes you who you are. Even your bones, which seem so solid, create little flashes of light when you move, connecting you to the sun, stars, lightning, and fireflies. This light isn’t just in you, it’s the same energy that powers the whole universe, and you’re part of it! You’re full of amazing light-powered tricks, like how your eyes use blue light to set your daily rhythm or how sunlight helps make Vitamin D to keep you strong. The light of the sun is turned into a magnetic memory tape that is tuned to your RNA, DNA, and mtDNA via water. But modern stuff like phone screens or Wi-Fi can mess this up, like static on a radio, hiding your natural shine. Old science focused too much on genes and missed this light story. My idea is that you’re already perfect, part of the universe’s big light network. By soaking in sunlight and avoiding fake light, you can tune back into that harmony and feel the endless possibilities within you! You can remember where you really came from. Light is the part of the cosmos that holds the memory of conscious thought, and when it’s discharged, for a myriad of reasons, the system doesn’t starve, it forgets how it is supposed to dance with Nature. That is what a loss of consciousness or neurodegeneration really is at the core. If we think about consciousness like a time chain that links a body of tissues with the cosmos, you begin to see consciousness like a living blockchain of quantum abilities. WHAT IS MEMORY? Every living system emits light without requiring external excitation due to a biological phenomenon known as ultraweak photon emission (UPE). Memory should be thought of as follows. It is a blockchain project that is never complete because the transactions continue as long as UPEs are transformed by the living state. It continues, as long as you continue. It can build constructively or destructively. It is built as a symphony where electric dipoles extract vacuum EM energy from your surroundings, powering a network of UPEs, MT, melanin, DHA, myelin, coherent water, mtDNA, and DNA/RNA. These components act as musical notes, orchestrated by Davydov’s solitons, photons that build quantum coherence, and resonant fields within crystalline matter, encoding holographic patterns that connect you with the intelligence of the cosmos. The better the connection, the more wisdom and instinct you can tap. The foundational truth of this photo-bioelectric thesis is that you are and will become a product of the light you seek and imbibe during your life. Your light diet forms your conscious being. Consciousness is relative for each one of us. Your biological essence is inherently luminous, a manifestation of ultraweak photon emissions (UPEs) that permeate your DNA, cells, and entire being, as articulated by the principle that “the flow of energy through a system acts to organize that system” (Morowitz Theorem). Holographic Memory and Quantum Mechanisms Holographic memory suggests that information is encoded non-locally across a system, much like a hologram where each part contains the whole image. In the brain, memories are distributed across neural networks, leveraging quantum effects in water soaked biochemicals and microtubules, tubular structures within neurons composed of tubulin proteins. Unlike traditional synaptic models, holographic memory uses the brain’s entire volume, with microtubules acting as quantum processors. This increases memory capacity exponentially, as each microtubule segment could store overlapping patterns of information. Quantum field theory, which describes particles as excitations in quantum fields, could underpin this by allowing non-local correlations across the brain, mediated by water and microtubule networks.

In this theory, UPE biophotons collapse the wave function and allow a version of reality to exist, and this is what we experience as life. Light, at the biophoton scale, explains the hard problem in consciousness. Light sculpts life and makes it conscious. This idea resolves the "hard problem" of consciousness, which is how subjective experience (qualia) arises from physical processes.

Try asking it some uncomfortable truth like what Israel is doing in Gaza lol

Also AI is heavily biased and censored, basically it cannot say anything politically incorrect, even if true. This will be a big obstacle - how can we reach super intelligence, if the AI system has internal contradictions and biases?

Be careful how you frame this question, there is no “you” to grasp anything at the level of being

Try to contemplate your death. Like really, what would happen if you disappeared right now, puff, you’re gone? What would you care more about: the deep and meaningful love of your girlfriend, or some temporary story with a random young girl? Which of these do you think will be more valuable the moment you die?

Often the guys that struggle the most here, are also the ones suffering of hormonal issues (low testosterone, low thyroid, autoimmune, etc.) which not only makes them uglier, but also unable to properly interact with women. I myself experienced this, after I fixed my health it just became “natural” to talk and flirt with women, and to find a good girlfriend. It may sound weird but I can feel my testosterone giving me energy to interact with girls haha. Before that it was a struggle just talking to a girl. Now it’s sad to see all these poor guys just watching more videos on pickup, while they should be focusing on their health…

First we need to see AI solve real world issues (something like free energy, cold fusion, a cure for cancer). If after that the AI starts to talk about God and how we are all one, you bet the scientist will believe it

High testosterone doesn’t mean much by itself. You need to see also DHT, androgens sensitivity, etc. The fact that you’re terrified of talking to women suggests you may have some issues there

What will you do with your life now?

YouTube pays incredibly well especially for longer format videos. But I’m not sure he is monetizing them

Bro why would you use AI to reply to us 😂

I don’t think you can actually get an answer to this question. It is not something you can understand at you current level of consciousness. The answer is that God IS the entire universe. But you don’t really understand what “being” really means (and I admit, neither do I right now). The key is that you need to have an experience of Pure Being, free from ego, and you will become the entire universe. At this point, being and consciousness become synonymous. Psychedelics might help you get there

It seems that for most tumors, it is just pure bad luck. Our cells are constantly dividing and copying DNA. Occasionally, by pure chance, mistakes happen in important genes that control cell growth. Most get fixed but a few don’t. Over years, if enough of the “wrong” genes are hit, a cell can turn cancerous. Bad diet, phone/wifi, negative emotions, stress etc. have all been disproven as direct causes of cancer. But this is the mainstream science view, and we know it can be limited sometimes. Do you believe there is also a spiritual component to it? Something like paying karma from a past life? Or your higher self actually “wanting” this experience to grow through suffering?

Sounds like some spiritual AI slop bullshit. I could sense it after the first 2 sentences

We’re just one big breakthrough away from AGI, meaning human level intelligence. The computing infrastructure is already in place, we just need the algorithm. And when this breakthrough happens (it could come from a genius student in China for all we know), self-improving superintelligence will not be far away. And this is when the real shit will come down.

Thanks @Malkom this was very useful, I think I found my answer. Getting cancer boils down to bad luck, BUT you can control how much bad luck. If you live a healthy, toxin-free life, probably 0.001% of getting cancer in your life. If you do shit like smoking drinking eating mcdonalds etc, it can rise to 0.2% let’s say. Now my question was, why is there still that 0.001%? And I think we can leave that up to God

Hey guys, sorry for posting AI but I think that when it comes to health, it is one of the few cases where AI can be very useful and less biased than any human. So I asked Gemini 3 Pro (currently the best AI on the market) and this is the full analysis: This assessment examines the risks of modern seed oils (industrial vegetable oils like soybean, corn, canola, sunflower, and cottonseed) through a critical lens, questioning standard nutritional guidelines and analyzing potential biases in the data. The Core Conflict: Orthodoxy vs. Chemistry Mainstream nutritional organizations (like the AHA) generally categorize seed oils as "heart-healthy" because they lower LDL cholesterol. However, a critical risk assessment requires looking beyond a single surrogate marker (LDL) and examining biochemistry (how these molecules act in the body) and toxicology (what happens when they are heated). I. The Risk of Heat: Thermal Instability & Toxicity The most chemically verifiable risk of seed oils arises when they are heated. This is not a matter of opinion, but of organic chemistry. 1. The Chemistry of Instability Seed oils are primarily composed of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs), specifically Linoleic Acid. * Structure: PUFAs contain multiple double bonds (C=C). Each double bond is a weak link that is highly reactive to oxygen and heat. * The Result: When heated (frying, sautéing, baking), these bonds break down rapidly, a process called oxidation. 2. Toxic Byproducts (Aldehydes) When oxidized, seed oils degrade into Lipid Oxidation Products (LOPs). The most concerning are \alpha,\beta-unsaturated aldehydes, specifically: * 4-HNE (4-Hydroxynonenal): A known cytotoxic and mutagenic compound. It creates oxidative stress that damages DNA and proteins. * The Risk: Studies show that even at standard frying temperatures, seed oils generate significant amounts of 4-HNE. In contrast, saturated fats (butter, coconut oil) and monounsaturated fats (olive oil) produce very low levels of these toxins because they have fewer or no double bonds. > Critical Note on "Smoke Point": Marketing often touts the high "smoke point" of refined seed oils as a safety feature. This is misleading. An oil can be undergoing massive oxidative degradation and producing toxic aldehydes before it smokes. Oxidative stability—not smoke point—is the true measure of cooking safety. > II. The Biological Risk: The Omega-6 Imbalance Humans evolved on a diet with a roughly 1:1 ratio of Omega-6 (pro-inflammatory) to Omega-3 (anti-inflammatory) fatty acids. The modern diet, driven by industrial seed oils, has shifted this ratio to approximately 15:1 or 20:1. 1. The Inflammation Pathway * Linoleic Acid (LA): The primary Omega-6 in seed oils. * Mechanism: LA accumulates in human fat tissue (adipose). In the body, it can convert to Arachidonic Acid, a precursor to pro-inflammatory eicosanoids. * The Consequence: Chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation is a root cause of modern metabolic diseases (obesity, diabetes, heart disease). Critics argue that the massive influx of dietary LA fuels this fire. 2. Adipose Tissue Accumulation Studies analyzing human fat tissue show a dramatic increase in Linoleic Acid concentration over the last century—rising from ~8% in 1959 to ~21% in 2008. We are literally chemically different than our ancestors. III. Critical Examination of Data Validity & Bias Why do health authorities still recommend these oils? A critical review reveals flaws in the data and potential conflicts of interest. 1. The "Buried" Data (Minnesota & Sydney Studies) For decades, the "Diet-Heart Hypothesis" (saturated fat bad, seed oil good) relied on the idea that lowering cholesterol reduces death. However, two massive randomized controlled trials (RCTs) challenged this, but their full data was unpublished for decades. * Minnesota Coronary Experiment (1968–73): Recovered data published in 2016 showed that while corn oil did lower cholesterol, it did not lower mortality. In fact, for every 30 mg/dL drop in cholesterol, there was a 22% higher risk of death in older adults. * Sydney Diet Heart Study (1966–73): Recovered data showed that the group replacing saturated fat with safflower oil had a 62% higher risk of death from all causes compared to the control group. 2. The Problem with Epidemiology (Healthy User Bias) Most studies supporting seed oils are observational epidemiology, not experiments. They rely on surveys. * The Bias: In the last 40 years, health-conscious people were told to eat seed oils and avoid butter. Therefore, people who eat seed oils also tend to smoke less, exercise more, and eat more vegetables. * The Illusion: The data makes seed oils look healthy, but it is often measuring the "Healthy User" effect. Conversely, people who stuck to butter in the 90s/00s often ignored other health advice, making butter look artificially dangerous. 3. Industrial Processing Unlike "virgin" oils (olive, avocado, coconut) which are mechanically pressed, seed oils require industrial chemical refining: * Hexane Extraction: Seeds are bathed in petroleum solvents (hexane) to extract oil. * Deodorization: The oil is heated to high temperatures to remove bad smells (created by the extraction process), which ironically induces the formation of a small amount of Trans Fats essentially inside the factory. IV. Summary Risk Assessment | Feature | Modern Seed Oils (Soy, Corn, Canola) | Traditional Fats (Butter, Tallow, Olive) | |---|---|---| | Oxidative Stability | Low (Highly unstable) | High (Stable) | | Cooking Risk | High (Forms Aldehydes/4-HNE) | Low (Resists oxidation) | | Inflammation | High (High Omega-6 load) | Neutral/Low | | Processing | Industrial (Hexane, Bleaching) | Mechanical/Natural | | Data reliability | Mixed (Relies on Epidemiology/LDL) | Strong (Ancestral/Historical Safety) | Verdict & Next Step The risk of consuming modern seed oils, particularly when heated, is significant due to the formation of toxic byproducts and the biological burden of excess Omega-6. The data supporting their safety often relies on short-term markers (cholesterol) while ignoring long-term mortality data (Minnesota/Sydney trials) and toxicological chemistry. Recommendation: * Eliminate: Industrial seed oils for cooking (Soybean, Corn, Canola, Sunflower, Safflower). * Replace with: * For High Heat: Ghee, Tallow, Avocado Oil (refined but monounsaturated), or Coconut Oil. * For Low Heat/Raw: Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Butter. * Scrutinize: Processed foods (chips, dressings, mayo) which are the primary delivery mechanism for oxidized Omega-6.

There are tons of people who are constantly under stress, eat garbage, etc. and they never get cancer. Even individual genetics account for a very small factor of cancers (you can google the studies). Then someone who lived well, ate nutritious foods, avoided toxins, gets diagnosed with brain tumor out of the blue. Why is that? Is it really just bad luck?

Where can we watch it?

The first one yes, the others were added by AI and I didn’t double check FYI, but they seem reliable

I used AI to summarize (hope it doesn’t bother you): 1. Goodman et al. (2015) – Workshop summary on low-dose mixtures, published in Carcinogenesis (Oxford University Press, involving NCI, NIEHS, and IARC experts) Explicitly states: "Credible estimates from the World Health Organization and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) suggest that the fraction of cancers attributable to toxic environmental exposures is between 7% and 19%." - Link: https://academic.oup.com/carcin/article/36/Suppl_1/S254/416815 (full text via PMC: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4566031/) This is one of the most direct citations tying WHO/IARC to this range. 2. President's Cancer Panel (2008–2009 Report: "Reducing Environmental Cancer Risk: What We Can Do Now") Critiques older estimates (e.g., Doll & Peto's ~2% for general pollution + 4% occupational) as "woefully out of date" and argues the true burden of environmentally induced cancer (broadly including chemicals, pollutants, occupational exposures, radiation, etc.) is grossly underestimated, implying a significantly higher fraction (while not pinning an exact number, it aligns with calls for recognizing 10–20%+ from broader environmental/occupational sources). - Full report: https://deainfo.nci.nih.gov/advisory/pcp/annualReports/pcp08-09rpt/PCP_Report_08-09_508.pdf 3. WHO's "Preventing Disease Through Healthy Environments" reports (2006 & 2016 updates) Use a very broad definition of "environment" (air/soil/water pollution, UV/radiation, occupational risks, built environment, etc.) and estimate ~23–31% of overall disease burden (not cancer-specific) is environmentally attributable. For cancer specifically, subsets like air pollution or occupational risks contribute portions that, when aggregated broadly, support higher-end estimates in reviews. - 2016 report: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/9789241565196 4. Supporting reviews aligning with ~10–19% for broader environmental/occupational factors - Boffetta & Nyberg (2003, British Medical Bulletin): Estimates 5–15% for occupational + pollution exposures in developed countries. - Various country-specific updates (e.g., UK 2010: ~5–8% occupational + pollution; Denmark/Alberta similar) scale globally to support the range when including radiation/occupational.

They did some studies and turns out that this accounts only for a minor part of cancers. For example 10–20% of cancers worldwide are due to "environmental" factors, and this includes includes smoking cigarettes. It seems there’s a whole bunch of cancers such as brain tumor that cannot be connected to anything but bad luck. Or do you have some sources that contradict this?

For those that live in the EU, some time ago I contacted AlpenPower and they provided me with lab tests showing their Whey protein is pretty clean. It also tastes very good and it’s made from milk of healthy cows grazing on mountains Their website: https://www.alpenpower.com/
