Except the one with cholesterol doesn't hit as hard since it's negative effects are way wayyy overblown. Everyone knows that the real culprit is actually sugar. And I don't care about debating. Eventually we'll see the effects of our diets on ourselves, and I'd dare to bet that I'm going to be fairly well off in that regard

@Quader @Buck Edwards I'm an omnivore. Only thing not entirely clear to me is how to balance my veggies, carbs and meat/animal products and whether I should even eat carbs, etc. I don't have a very good diet at the moment but I wanna get there

Depends on what kind of meat you eat. It's funny how all you vegans can name only one potential symptom while I can name at least a dozen for the vegan diet😂

I don't know, do as you wish😄 doesn't matter, just a silly observation. Just think it tells you something about the human psyche and how it likes to find the things it lacks somewhere else Don't forget about those 5 micronutrients btw😄

Noone here is rich and will never be. Those books will not make you rich either. The best you can hope for in terms of money is to have a good decently paying job and that's pretty much it. Gotta keep it realistic cause noone does here

Notice how he thinks of animals as children. Typical vegan. That's so sad. Animals do look cute but you should have your own children to protect

I get disguisted just by watching it on the screen, these guy's stomachs must be something else even if they are wearing hazmat suits. I would prefer to just set the whole thing ablaze by a flamethrower, honestly Btw it's crazy that there are people on this planet that differ so much from us in terms of their language and alphabet. Part of me feels like I am watching alien comercial

That is actually very accurate post, down to a tee. It is selfish and it is absolutely impossible for polygamy or any relationship other than "1 man + 1 woman" to work on a mass scale. It can only "work" for some normal people in an individual rare circumstances (but even then there's no proof of a such a relationship structure working long term, as in, for decades upon decades. There is zero proof of that in reality.) Or, when an individual, ussually a man, holds a significant ammount of power in a society and a society itself accepts or even encourages this behaviour from this particuliar individual. For example, sultan and his harem would come to mind, in that enviroment there would be enough stability to raise multiple children from multiple women seeing as it's accepted by society and other people serve you in raising them. Other than that, it is absolutely impossible, there has to be monogamy

I'd talk to you as I know that feeling all too well, but I can't send any messages

That's actually insane. This Lex Fridman guy would actually talk to anyone That he even managed to set it up, is almost comical

LOL idk man. What a mystery. Let's think about it, hmmmm

@Twentyfirst How much of your personal freedom would you be willing to relinquish - or in other words, how much rules would you tolerate - and still would take part in this hypothetical XY society? Can this society have democracy or a system at least resembling democracy or is it just some form of authoritarianism? Are human rights seriously taken into consideration and respected? (I don't mean any SJW BS just basic human rights). And the most important question, is organized fundamentalist religion a necessary part of such a society and even more importantly, does it have to be Islam? And if so, what version of Islam? I am questioning you about the Islam bit because you seem to be from Saudi Arabia and therefore it's possible you have some biases in this regard. And also in general, since you think a more conservative society is superior over the liberal one, vehemently defending your traditional views, you should provide us an exact describtion of how an ideal society should look like, according to you. Just as a thought experiment

First of all, stop lumping me in with the feminists when I'm clearly not messing with these people at all. Second of all, the crisis of birth rates is caused first and foremost by capitalism. Progressive leftist liberalism and feminism are really just a secondary if not tertiary factors. But yes they are of course still major factors. But I'm pretty sure the so called feminist women would also start popping out babies if we returned to a baby boomer era type of economy, which was probably the best economic era of all times. Adopting boomer mindset is the opposite of being open minded

No it is me who is strong and you who is weak. Because you are a slave

So what if it stood the test of time? Why should I give a shit about a society continuing in any form of a gynocentric system, be it traditionalism or feminism? As far as I'm concerned either we will find a new radical ways to reorganize everything in our society throught political, economic and technological reforms - or the society can die out. Why should I care? Does it serve me? I don't think so. We can continue with the low fertility rate as far as I'm concerned. Of course you bash men. Just take a look at your own comments, re-read them slowly and then tell me you don't bash your own gender/sex. No such thing as a weak man. It's a completely relative concept and even you probably wouldn't be able to define it in a full encompassing and satisfying way. And anyone else would define it in ways different than you do, mostly to suit their selfish subconscious needs and biases. Of course you do

Ooooh, so you are one of those, huh?

@Twentyfirst There is some truth to what you're saying but what you don't realize is that your ideas are just another side of the same gynocentric coin. It seems like you are in a conflicts with the feminists but actually you both have something in common - you want a system that benefits women at the expense of men. That's why I did not respond to your original response of you harshly criticizing men for crying, because you are just hopesly lost. LOL notice both you and feminists bash men

@Princess Arabia But we all know every single woman here is a feminist anyway, I guarantee you have many feminist viewpoints. Especially Emerald

Maybe, but I don't think icebaths are good for the health at all. And I guess you mean mental energy, because probably any old fart can have enough testosterone to go see multiple prostitutes, regardless of his health. He definitely does look a bit aged with that greyish beard as well, but not that much I guess since he's 49 apparently. Maybe he's doing other things right which counteract the ice bath stupidity, who knows

@Twentyfirst Your posts are literaly a pinacle of retardation LOL you do realize you can cry, or be emotional in general and still go take care of business if it needs to be taken care off? Just cry whenever you need to cry naturally, don't set up these rules like a dummy slave "men do not cry, women cry" LOL what you will then discover is that you will actually not cry very often because you will be happier. Because you are not a slave

@Emerald Damn, as I'm reading this topic can't believe I find myself agreeing actually with you, as a woman. Leo literaly went full retardville on this topic

This sounds like a bit of a strawman, althought OP made that argument, I don't personally think "age of addition" would be a good full encompassing term for the age we are currently living in. Which specific era of history do you have in mind while comparing our time to an X time in the past? "Less than 100 years ago" means what? WW2, Great Depression? Human history travers constantly from times of prosperity and peace to times of war and death and then back to peace. The only constant of history that doesn't behave like a crypto chart is our technological progress during the last 200 years or so. Do you honestly know that tho, or is it just a catchy phrase you have memorized? Especially this one with our lives being better than a medieval king, seems easy to remember. You do realize a king owned literaly A WHOLE ASS KINGDOM LOL we can't even own our little petty boxes we call appartments and homes. King could do whatever and whenever pretty much as long as it didn't piss off his nobility (and therefore the army) or neighbouring kingdoms. We on the other hand can't even piss off our coworkers because they could notify your boss and suddenly that little wage would be in danger LOL In fact, medieval peasant lives are pretty competitive to ours in this regard, if you trully look at the stats. Better than medieval kings? Quite a stretch LOL

This thread is a good read. A lot of both well thought out and thought provoking posts. Need to brush up on my understanding of geopolitics

None. The model looks too pretentious and simplistic to me. I am not higher nor lower in development than anyone on this Planet, nor am I better or worse of a human because of it. We just have different genetics and upbringing, that's all

@Sincerity Can't delete the truth from reality itself, unfortunately😥
