Hi Ida Might check it out if I have time. In turn, I recommend the website I mentioned if you want gather an understanding on the other perspective

Man, I have love for cheese too. I know it sounds too good to be true, but yes. I challenge you to only eat fat cheese, and keep eating and eating. NO CARBS MIXED IN THOUGH. Exactly. Which is what I described, with a simplification. Insulin blocks leptin, and makes you feel still hungry. Well.. Yes. But thats the same as saying: "If you keep drinking water, it will damage your health". While it is indeed a true thing, there is a reason as to why you do not do it. A functioning body, that has its natural diet in reach, has regulatory mechanisms. Accept the challenge of keep eating fat and keep eating, and then document to me your own anecdotal evidence bro

True love needs no fucking contract that is enforced by the state, and afterwards charge you for this fine service?

Yes. However, it is generally said that you can drop the neurotic count of calories if you follow the guidelines for this diet. There is a hormone called leptin, which is a hunger related hormone. A little bit simplified: If you eat fat and not carbohydrates, the hormone leptin will function as normal and you will feel too "full" to engage in dysfunctional eating habits. Interesting question: Can you think of any other animal that needs to contemplate the amount of food it eats, so as health damage doesn't occur? (If its natural diet is within reach)

Hey man. I've had my periods of just being a lazy stoner, for days in a row. NOT FUCKING SAYING THAT WEED IS BOUND TO MAKE YOU LAZY, THE TYPE OF WEED: SATIVA, IS A FUCKING VITAMIN FOR THE MIND. Ok maybe a little exaggerated, but still. Sick of this shit that people is propagating. A consideration I think you should perhaps do is to change the mental outlook on weed. To see it as a ritual that is associated with adoration, and not lower it's meaning to something that is a everyday thing. But I don't really know. Remember that it's different for everyone.

Hello lovely people. I'm just a tiny voice of dissent in this. <3 Note: I do not consider myself an expert in this. I am currently eating a "diet" called LCHF, short for Low Carb, High Fat. (Think of how humanity ate before 10 000 years, before we rolled out the serious farming) This is a diet consisting of a tribute to what the human animal has eaten for millions of years. (Our species has been around for about 3.5 million, with the most evolved versions dating to around 200 000 years.) An exceptional resource for more information about LCHF, is www.dietdoctor.com. This website is driven by a doctor who previously believed the propaganda about saturated fats, and got sick of the constant worsening his patients condition, leading to a paradigm shift that ultimately resulted in helping A LOT of people achieve very tangible results. (Such as: losing weight, throwing away the need for 12 pills a day, managing diabetes. And overall much better vitality.) What got me hooked on this website is the seemingly rigorous aspiration for objective truth. This website has no financial support from any organisation, or government. (One final thing about it, I am mostly on the Swedish version for this website, but I can only imagine that the English version is as good, if not better) According to my research: No, meat in itself is not dangerous for you. Yes, there are bound to be many different studies, with many different results (that easily could be influenced by the agenda of whom is conducting the study) however my conclusion from looking over this is as stated above. The influence factories have and how the preparation and storage is done however, is another story. From a global perspective concerning the health of the planet, I believe for sure that our consumption of meat is NOT all dandy and fine. But this goes for the same with the industrial farming of crops, destroying lands, according to studies I've read. Finally, I'm always striving to learn, to be open. Love to hear different non-defenisve, non-overemotional attached perspectives. Also: I disagree on the idea that eating a certain life-form that you can't empathise with, just simply because it happen to not express instincts of survival that you can pickup with your human senses, is more noble and makes you a more enlightened person.

I drink this as daily as I can. The crazy thing about this, is how good it makes me feel LIKE 10 SECONDS AFTER. Seriously. This is not placebo. It feels like it has to be the healthy microbe-flora showing appreciation.

From what I've understood, tantra is a sexual act where you're having sex for like hours without finishing?

I can sympathise rather hardcore with this. One piece that comes to mind is a tip leo suggested: Don't study for grades. Study for knowledge. This may be easier said then done, because sometimes it just feels so utterly irrelevant. But if you can work on the ability to not think so much that you're in a class, and learn because you find the parts of how life works fascinating, then it might take away the dreaded feeling of forced information processing.

By the way, I laughed my ass off when leo first outed the term chimpery. XDDDDDDDDDDDD pure chimpery. So cute with chimps that think that they are so evolved, dressing up in monkeysuits and shit.

Interesting read. Marriage is something I've never really considered that much. I've always had kind of a weird feeling towards marriage though. I don't think it will happened anytime soon for me. But at the same time, maybe it will indeed seem as a natural progression when you're in heavy-duty serious long term relationship later in life.

I definitely think it's unlikely that thoughts would be left. But I don't think death is eternal ending, I mean for sure it COULD be, but I think it's more logical that it isn't. My logical reasoning has always been: If I have 1 time become something from nothing, and then when the time comes to return to nothing, why shouldn't it be possible to become something again, since this phenomena has already happened before.

Just a thought: What do you guys think about tantra? I've never really understood it.

Mindfulness and meditation are powerful resources in assisting with negative emotions I can tell you.

Anti-depressants may be a positive force for some. Even necessary. Although, I would imagine that for some, there are other things that could be done instead of pills. I have experience with SSRI, SNRI. The result was rather undesirable. I also have experience with benzodiazepines, which I have found to be more useful as a resource. I had different kinds, used as sleep aid and for anxiety. Currently, I am trying out medication containing melatonin.* Will see how this plays out. *(Yes, melatonin is fucking illegal here in Sweden.. God, I truly loathe drug laws.)

What is your take on Leo's video about pickup?

Probably No Probably Yes Probably Yes This one may be a possible scenario, however I don't think it's a set one.

I think you should definitely learn how to interact with the opposite sex. Learn how to infuse social interactions with the most fun for both parties. I disagree on the aversion people seem to have for this pickup thing. In any case, the kind of pickup-mentality that RSD is navigating with. Now, I haven't even been doing pickup, so I am inexperienced with an internal perspective. (And only been watching pickup concepts for about 4 months) However, I still feel I have a rather strong dissent here.

Defaq I never understood this uprising hysteria about Porn. But if it helped you, more power to ya. I think it would be the opposite for me ^^ It seems amazing though, that you received so many benefits from just this refraining from this one thing. Great that you got them, but I have hard time* believing it was a direct result from this commitment. *No, no pun intended.

Hey there man. My take is: just make sure you are hydrated, and it shouldn't really be an issue. I've heard that it both causes cancer and prevents it, so I'm not really sure what to believe. But sources I kind of trust has endorsed this viewpoint of the harmlessness from coffee, as long as you also drink a lot of water. So I go with that. I usually drink about 1-2 cups a day, sometimes more. I try to avoid it later on the day though, to decrease the chance of my sleep insomnia fucking with me unnecessarily much.

I can sort of relate, even though I haven't even started yet. Interesting reads.

Fasting is not, from what I've read, unhealthy. It is actually the opposite.

Not sure if fasting is the discussion topic here, But, I can grant you that in my studies of fasting, I've come to the conclusion that it is basically awesome!

Hey man. I feel somewhat qualified to speak out on this, since I've read quite some about it. In short - Egg consumption is NOT dangerous for your health, even in large quantities. It is probable that it's actually the opposite. Elaboration: I will begin by a disclaimer that my understanding may be inaccurate, so even though I'm pretty sure of this, it may of course still be faulty. Alright, so lets explore cholesterol. To start to understand this, we need to first pierce one bubble of ignorance. A lot of people think that there is only one form of cholesterol. And, that having a high cholesterol is bad. How this narrative has been spread is profoundly dishonest. What this oversimplification has brought is lucrative business models both within the medical field (For example, a medicine called statins), as well as in other industries. Such as those who wish to not have their products exposed as the health-declining actors they are. (Think of like basically every product with sugar in it, or carbohydrates, like pasta and bread) The truth is, in a somewhat simplified model, that there are three types of cholesterol: VLDL Very Low Density Lipoprotein LDL Low Density Lipoprotein HDL High Density Lipoprotein (Don't think of the names for these too much, it's enough to remember the acronyms.) What now? Different types of cholesterol..? Ah.. tad annoying, I thought it only were one .... Don't worry, it's rather easy to understand. VLDL is just cholesterol that becomes LDL, don't think about this guy more. LDL is the generally thought of as "the bad cholesterol"* HDL is in general the good one. Ok. So high amounts of LDL causes heart-disease and high amounts of HDL lower it. How do we get more of the good HDL then? BY EATING SATURATED FAT. Such as eggs. A diet of saturated fat increases the amount of positive HDL cholesterol. A diet of carbohydrates increases the amount of negative LDL cholesterol. Wait, so then why has there been all this talk about this one cholesterol, and that having high of it is bad? Because, what they've done there is added all these three types together, forming one single set of number. And since we now know that they have different properties (HDL is good and LDL bad), the result displayed by this method is close to completely irrelevant. There it is. Any questions, send them away. (*Clarification: Even though it's often deemed that LDL is the "bad guy", your body is unable to sustain life without a small amount of these guys around.)

Hey man. The Power Of Now - Eckhart Tolle. Preferably the audiobook - Just listen and sit back, relax... It allowed me to get up when I was down.
