The initial disagreement was about crusading and religious-like intolerance in the name of moral superiority (e.g. I don't eat animals, you do, hence you are a lesser person). I am not disputing the ethical question here. What we do to animals is barbaric and beyond any excuse and each and every one of us should do as much as possible to get the majority of our calories from plants. If most of us do just that, the world will be a better place.

Majority of travel is indeed about looking for that moment of peace. You don't visit exotic places to see exotic beautiful places. You visit them because of the feeling you associate with seeing those places. Such as seeing a beautiful sunset above sea level that leaves you feeling fulfilled and complete. People are willing to climb Mt Everest for that feeling, descend 10 km under earth crust or just constantly look for new sex adventure. At the same time, there is a lot of life wisdom and life knowledge to be experienced. Seeing how other people live and seeing how less fortunate others are, humbles you and allows you to be more appreciative and grateful of what you have. It changes how you see things, changes your value system and can help move you on the spiral especially those stubbornly stuck in Orange can greatly benefit from experiencing foreign cultures and nature.

I heard it goes deeper than this. The constant vibration is slowly damaging DNA and mitochondria of every cell to a point that there is risk of birth defects, autism and severe mental retardation of newborns. I'd be really curious to see if anyone ever studied the extend to which this goes. Also living close to powerplant has never really been documented but as an anecdotal experience, my grandma who lives in a village about 5km near a nuclear PP says the number of invalids in the village is excessively higher than other, further villages. I dunno if there is anything to it but maybe the wisdom of old people can tell us something.....

I love calisthenics as a part of my outdoor workout routines. Great way to get more mobility and strength into your joints and to strengthen skin collagen tissues. I still can't do muscle-ups although I can do about 12 handstand pushups, I think MU is 90% about the technique over the bar, the rest is either pull or push. No particular goals besides being active on daily basis You should document your journey through videos on your journal, maybe add an occasional Aurora in background

Forgive for saying this but some of your comments seem very naive as if because of lacking general world experience. I am with @Yog that I've seen some extremely unhealthy looking vegans & vegetarians. Pale, skinny, with excessive signs of ageing. I have also seen beautiful and sexy vegan women so there are both. If you live in a rich country such as US, it is easy to assume that living this way is the same in the rest of the world. It isn't. It can be extremely tough to be vegan in certain countries such as Eastern Europe, Balcanic regions, South East asia, certain countries of South America, Japan etc. When I visited Philipines for example, being vegan meant eating rice and fruits, now you tell me how long before your body starts breaking down. Japan - there is some tofu yes but generally Japanese have no fruits besides tanderines. It is extremely expensive in there at a level that a bowl of grape costs 30 dollars. I've visited many of these countries and in some of them it is 50 times more difficult than for example in UK where I live or in States. Just something for you to be mindful of. Not all places have an equal starting ground and you need to be appreciative of that. As someone who is in business of helping people restore their health, all I can say that if I was pushing veganism on my clients, I would lose 90% of them. Large part of population struggle with paying bills, separating waste, living in sub-optimal living conditions, living in multigenerational houses. If you were to bestow veganism upon these people, it simply wouldn't work.

It's ok, I don't expect you to approve I don't know much of the world you have travelled but in certain countries this is not an option no matter how hard you look

It became a religion for me and I became extremely judgemental and hateful. I would argue with my family if there was dairy in meals, whenever we travelled remaining vegan was very difficult for example in Italy I ended up living on tomato pasta and pizza with tomato sauce and peppers. Sometimes it is just not an option. Nowadays I'll add about 2 eggs per week and an occasional small fish (probably around once a week) and energy-wise and overall life-satisfaction wise that works much better for me.

Look, this isn't about veganism. Not at all. I have absolutely no personal conflict with veganism, as someone who lived it for 4 years and still is 95% doing the plant-based diet. This is about being blind to one's devilry and hatred of those who do not agree (infidels, or to use OP's language "cold fucks). This is how you create flame wars and endless debating that discourages many people from even considering that person's message. I was also referring initially to the fact that this seemed to me more like a journal post which OP clearly saw as personal attack

Be very careful, you are now borderlining with religious crusading. Nobody is preventing you to talk about veganism, in fact, probably at least 20% of health topics discuss one topic of veganism or another. What you are not allowed is aggressive dogmatism and intolerance. This is what @Danioover9000 was trying to tell you.

@Hero in progress start a journal bro, this sort of content would be better suited there.

the type of training where you push hard for 60 seconds, take a break for 20 and take 5 rounds of those times 4 sets. Or a crossfit type of exercise where you move from one thing to another with very little breaks. Not bad at all but it can put a lot of burden on adrenals and create a lot of oxidative damage so should be limited to max 2-3 sessions per week

@levani basically there are only 4 types of stimulants I can really think of working on slightly different systems. 1. Adrenal stimulants - Cause release of glucocorticoids (cortisol) and adrenaline. This is the most "aggressive" and most rapid. This gives you raw brutal energy but can cause addiction if overused. - caffeine (aggressive), matcha (mild), yerba mate (mild), high-intensity exercise, adrenaline sports 2. Neurotransmitter Reuptake Blockers - These give a different type of stimulation, more gradual and longer-lasting. Some of them are more aggressive other more gentle. These work on enhancing cognition, memory, focus and mood. - Modafinil (cognition & focus) Adderall (cognition and focus, highly addictive), St. John's Wort (mood), Mucuna Pruriens (a bit of all but very gentle), Passiflora (mood), 3. Adaptogens - They work on a combination of above but generally they trigger biochemical adaptation to high-stress levels - Rhodiola (physical & mental stimulant), Ashwagandha (relaxant, anxiety reducer), Siberian Ginseng (stress adapter, helps level down chronic levels of stress), Schisandra 4. Vasodilators & Nitric Oxide Inducers - They basically drive more blood and oxygen in brain, muscles and myocardium. The effects is usually very gentle - beets, ginkgo, gotu kola, berries, spinach.

lol

Is it the lazy man's excuse or an amazing tool to digest more knowledge in shorter amount of time? How would you make sure you get best of them?

@Striving for more i am not against or pro anything in general, i like to look at the person doing this and their rationale. For example if you told me you are doing supervised fasting as a part of cancer treatment it is different than if you intermittent fast because you have an eating disorder or don't like to eat. When we discussed your case and what you told me in your case i would start with eating regularly and not doing any fast whatsoever but to someone else that advice may change

It could put your omega 6s through the roof so make sure to balance it with good omega 3 sources such as flax and chia seeds but otherwise the only risk is that it makes you fatter because 100g of cashew is probably around 650 calories. I'd probably shuffle few types of nuts around to get a variety of nutrients. Also, finally (i know this is none of my concern but I'm going to say it anyway) make sure not to follow something that may be hard to sustain long-term and consider long term impacts of any diet you follow (e.g. slowed metabolism and damaged microbiome). I think the question is "could you do this for the rest of your life?

It is not harmful if you can create a framework in your life to navigate this lifestyle. For example if you have to live a life of morning lark and night owl at the same time you are putting yourself at risk of early stroke. If you however can have a lifestyle that works with being night owl such as being able to sleep till midday and then staying up late without anyone interfering with that, it can make you incredibly productive

Remember what Elon Musk said? "Nobody cares what porn you watch". It's all good. Google and Facebook know everything about you there is to know. You've willingly sold all your information for free services and fancy toys

@Loving Radiance scihub is free for the public unless it gets taken down. I can't speak for sites with online pirated movies. Depends on the particular side but I wouldn't suggest you share sides with lots of adds and possible risk of viruses or malware.

@Twega I'm actually researching neuroplasticity atm for my next blog post specifically looking at BDNF so may have more insight in a week. You know, I wouldn't be surprised if something that is constantly manipulating your neurotransmitter reuptake actually had a damaging effect to neuroplasticity....that wouldn't be surprising at all. EDIT: especially in the brain of adolescent I think this can be more profound. For example teenagers suffering from depression may have an Amygdala double the e size of a regular non-depressed person and a much thinner cortex by the time they are 30 so if you dose nootropics from your early 20s I can imagine it possibly having a long-term effect.

Don't be lazy and do the exercises as they come

as far as I can neither @Village nor @neutralempty have broken any rules. I see these two bickering over the same topic over and over but neither of them has done anything wrong. I may close the thread soon thou cause we're not leading anywhere and I believe OP has receive the answer he was looking for.

@andyjohnsonman I don't know the answer to this tbh Andy. I think it may skew the results because you are looking at serum levels not tissue levels but at the same time having good serum levels mean the molecule of 25-hydroxy cholecalciferol is getting where it needs to. But I haven't looked into research on this to tell you for sure so the answer is that I don't know (- shrugs -)
