Who the fuck drinks three glasses of milk (750g) a day anyway? If you don't drink that amount of milk, you have to eat 400g of almonds (nobody does that), 150-200g of cheese (you fat pig), 780g of low fat sour cream (you drinking the stuff?), 1.5kg of spinach (you'll definitely get kidney stones) to hit 100% of RDA for a male my size. I only hit about 40% with a standard day's worth of food. How do you do it? Do you snort calcium-fortified soy?

I think my answer to this ethical altruism conundrum is that we don't just value the sheer quantity of human life or even alleviating human suffering, but we value things like music, art, and we need different people to do different things to make society go around. We need air traffic controllers, train station workers, nurses, physicians, academics, politicians, etc. Even people who suffer, value music, art; they might go to those things to alleviate their suffering, and if you take that away from them but you assure their life through Malaria prevention, you might have made their life less worth living. So what to do?: Do what you feel called to do. A person who feels called to do something, who feels motivated to do it, will do it better than somebody else who does not feel as motivated. And that way you will contribute greater to that part of the world you choose to contribute to. If you feel very called to donate money to Malaria prevention programs, do that. If you feel very called to find a cure for cancer, do that. Charity is a way of using your time on something you think is valueable. So use your time on something you think is valueable. "But can't you donate like 5% of your savings to Malaria prevention and save a big chunk of lives that way and still do what you feel called to do?" Well, yes, but what about other programs like water sanitation, cancer prevention, other disease prevention? "Just choose one that has a high life-saving conversion rate". Well, why do you ought to use 5% of your savings on initiatives with high immediate life-saving conversion rates and not say finding a cure for cancer or just landing a recording contract?

Here is a thought experiment: remember how different you were when you were 5, 8, 16, 18, 20, 25, 30, etc. Then imagine if you were to sit in a room without anything happening in it for all those years (discounting the obvious neurodevelopmental issues that would arise in such a situation). Naturally, some of the development would be due to innate differences due to age, but a large chunk would be from experiences.

The hypergeometry, together with other reports suggesting access to higher dimensions or bending 'physical laws', converges well with the phenomenology and also newly emerging scientific understanding of DMT entities (existing outside our 3-dimensional sensory world in other and/or higher normally inaccessible dimensions, apparently in line with mathematical predictions of Don Hoffman's conscious realism framework). So there could be a bridge between UFOs and DMT entities, and also psychic phenomena, seeing that proposed scientific experiments for supporting the "reality" (interpersonal veridity) of DMT entities mirrors realness of psychic phenomena (in that both would involve information transfer not occurring in normal, standard 'physical reality'). Nevertheless, they (and of course analytically rigorous idealist metaphysics) seem to be the perfect storm for the materialist paradigm in the coming years.

Eric Bugenhagen is my gym spirit animal. Also just philosophically he is spot on (which for me is very simple: explode that fukin weight men).

You don't choose what you believe so you can just be honest with what you believe. People who get stuck in "but you could be wrong" are just blind to what the feeling of belief is and they chase certainty. The supposed skepticism of belief becomes a way of not investigating what they really believe and instead they become unconscious of what they believe and the beliefs drive their actions without them knowing it. And being honest about your beliefs involves expressing them honestly. If you don't provide honest signals throughout your being (which involves action), you breed unconsciousness of those parts of yourself. Of course you can be wrong. But that is not what beliefs are about. It's about what you believe, what you think is reasonable, most likely, what makes the most sense to you. If you're 100% certain about a belief, or you expect 100% certainty when dealing with beliefs, you don't know what a belief is.

Lmao. A pill of calcium is like 0.5-1% of your daily dietary financial expenditure and taking it becomes a habit like wiping your ass. You don't worry about wiping your ass.

What about just chomping an egg with the shell?

Maybe you need some calcium if those are the sports you want to invest your "bones" in. How is taking a calcium supplement a waste of time, it "literally" takes zero time out of your day 💀 Your neurodivergence is once again giving me calcium drop-offs into my post-synaptic wtf-brain-area terminals.

These upcoming experiments might be relevant for the discussion: From https://osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/8qvgy_v2 :

Last night, I had a dream that I was being chased by several tornadoes. Then today I read about the tornado incident in Kentucky with an estimated death toll of 100 people, which is the worst tornado event in the history of Kentucky. About two weeks ago, I had a dream where PsychedSubstance got kicked out from his own house. Today he released this video: The night my dad's boss died from drowning, I had a nightmare where I was being chased by a ghost, fearing for my life. I usually never have those types of nightmares. What is this?

Anti-holism, except when it comes to making holes in his body (and filling holes, the gay way, he's gay, and that's A-ok).

I have been taking a calcium supplement (500mg, with 20ug vitamin D; I also take more vitamin D than that, but just for proper accounting) for over a year because I was trying to cover that hole in the RDA numbers, and now when I tried reducing it by half, my brain took a dive. I think calcium is a nootropic. I might also just have to get through the "withdrawals" so to speak before I can give a real judgement.

No.

You sound like my stepdad. We don't care about "not dying". We care about what is optimal. You can be starving and not dying.

🤢🤖 Even though I haven't tasted any of them, both of them has existed as "fake food" in my head since I learned about them (not necessarily based on anything factual).

I also don't drink milk because I've concluded that lactose is an unnecessary nutrient (we're all on the lactose intolerance spectrum), together with gluten. And I only can eat so much cheese or sour cream before I start losing culinary satisfaction points. The "gastronomic calculus" doesn't add up when I perturb my "intergalactose" intolerance. I've been watching too much Anthony Bourdain.

Bros* It's called having a teatular fascination.

Milk and oyster smoothie sounds like something Liver King would make. R-word's Razor.

Have you checked whether you have a pulse? No feeling = death.

@Osaid You know what? Calcium RDAs are a conspiracy to force people to drink milk. There, I said it. Big Tit got their hands in the health organizations.

I supplement zinc because it gives me ADHD drug powers without going to the doctor >:)
