THE DIVINE BLUEPRINT FOR HARMONIZING THE SEXES a.k.a. "Solomon's Vineyard" (Song 8:11-12) *Controversial* Thesis: A Solomonic "eusocial" order can facilitate unlimited sexual reproduction and bring a lasting peace between the sexes. "Eusocial" is a concept strongly associated with the insect world (especially bees and ants.) In Solomon's case, it applies to humans, as I will explain later. "Eusocial" comes from the Greek (literally "good" + "social"). Considered the highest level of organization of sociality, it has three defining characteristics: 1. Cooperative brood care (including caring for the offspring of others) 2. Overlapping generations (i.e. adults reproduce multiple times throughout their lives) 3. A division of labor into reproductive and non-reproductive groups Humans tend to naturally embody the first two features--to some extent. So we are ALMOST eusocial. No big news there. Where things interesting is at the third point: reproductive and non-reproductive "castes." It must be admitted from the outset that humanity already follows a sort of messy and hostile form of this breeding system. The reality is that very often the man who fertilizes the egg is not the man who raises the child. And many men raise children who are not genetically theirs, knowingly or not. Men have devised various cynical terms for this phenomenon: "alpha fucks vs. beta bucks," "good genes vs. good dads," etc. Women probably have some kinder euphemisms for it. But whatever label is used, the reality is that many children are raised by adults, and especially fathers, who are not their genetic parents. This can crudely be defined as a "reproductive division of labor," albeit one that tends to bring division and hostility, rather than unity, to all parties involved. Solomon's household provides us with a new way to handle this "division of labor"-- a way that brings unity instead of division, and is not found in any of the household forms practiced today, be it the monogamous "nuclear" family, traditional polygyny, communes, or any other conventional form imagined by man. The posts below will expand on this new (or rather ancient) household form practiced by King Solomon and show how it can bring the truly "good" social order and a lasting peace between the sexes. 🧵 THREAD 👇 (Image: "Sun and Moon" by Boris Vallejo)

Indoor air quality is a very underrated one in my experience. We breathe in thousands of times more toxins than we ingest through food. Yes, the body is good at detoxing on its own, but if the burden is too high it overloads the liver and makes everything dysfunctional. Water-basin vacuum and HEPA filters are game changers.

Truer hierarchy for optimal mitochondrial function (based on my personal experience): 1. Daily felt-safety + warm loving-kindness (metta) 2. Deep, consistent sleep 3. Perfect calm, bright weather (neutral temp, low humidity, no wind) 4. Sugar/gycogen refill when needed (ripe fruit, honey, sucrose, OJ, Coke) 5. Yogic nasal breathing + daily stomach exercises (churning/vacuum) 6. Clean, clear intestines-effortless daily bowel movements, zero bloating 7. Low oxidative stress (minimal PUFAs) 8. Strong thyroid & naturally warm body 9. Balanced minerals & ideal Ca:P ratio 10. Joyful movement, optimized hormones & key micros

@cormachayden_ So you are affirming that the data pulled for your app has always been quality-checked by professional engineers? And the the test results verified by scientists?

@cormachayden_ Shouldn't you have hired engineers and scientists BEFORE claiming "verified lab data" on your app? 🧐

We are hiring to help rebuild Oasis. Every part of our stack and methodology is being questioned and redesigned from the ground up. Seeking world-class engineers and scientists driven to build the transparent health intelligence platform used and trusted by billions to stay informed. Priority hires: senior backend engineers to scale our infrastructure, health scientists to ensure accuracy, and operators to coordinate execution

@ze_rusty @strong_sistas @oasishealthapp It's a vibe-coded app pulling data with AI that they don't understand or verify. That's why they have so many product reviews. It's a "too good to be true" situation.

@strong_sistas @oasishealthapp This makes me doubt oasis's whole catalogue 🤨

Our corn- & soy-free, drug-free, mobile pasture-raised eggs from small regenerative farms score a 38/100 on @oasishealthapp, while Costco’s industrial “pasture-raised” corn- & soy-fed eggs rank at the top. I believe we provide some of the highest quality eggs you can find, and have spent years developing a custom corn-, & soy-free low-PUFA feed to intentionally lower PUFA levels in our eggs. And many of our customers tell us they can finally tolerate eggs again after switching to ours. These kinds of simplified food “ratings” have real consequences for small farms and small businesses. We’ve already had customers cancel subscriptions because of this “score”. If apps are going to publicly rate food quality, they need to include real agricultural context (feed composition, farming practices, ingredient sourcing, and actual on-farm experience) not just broad nutritional assumptions slightly disconnected from how food is actually produced.

Why we need @test_your_food and @GreatGheeCo ‘s lab tested food website, where more farming experience, nuance and fatty acid info is factored in.

@jerr_rrej Do you not understand dark comedy?

Seinfeld was peak jewish subversion to 90s kids. Normalized a childless and promiscuous lifestyle to the goyim. Jerry was friends with his ex girlfriend Elaine who is a strong whore girlboss. Kramer is a leach. George’s cheapness killed his goy fiancé. All of them neurotic. The show about nothing brainwashed a generation into nothingness or nihilism.

@VanceE The red flag was suddenly having hundreds of products scored across every category when other testing sites often have less than 50 assessed products. It was too good to be true.

How many companies are you going to lie about before you get hit with a lawsuit. Fix Meraki btw we have 5 third party lab tests on this batch alone. Blatantly making mistake after mistake and profiting off of it.

@QuoteNietzsche And that's why his philosophy was so retarded

@celestialbe1ng Are you going to create a book on safe vs. unsafe beauty procedures and substances? THAT would be a gift to humanity 🙏

Deep-plane facelifts have been a gift to humanity.

Ultra high IQ men often enough don't care enough about getting laid to put in the effort be attractive because they just want to think about math or something. But intelligent men who prioritize sex do well. Sexual attraction is not a terribly difficult puzzle to solve. It's mostly about motivation and priorities.

@lizisamused It's a "cart before the horse" situation. Our environment has become so toxic that it's even affecting the virility of young men. Porn is simply the path of least resistance to get a quick dopamine hit to numb the existential pain of chemical castration.

The porn convo has reached genuinely insane levels. No, not all men who watch porn are abusive or violent 🤦🏻‍♀️ No, not all men who watch porn hate pubic hair, normal discharge, or women's natural bodies 🤦🏻‍♀️ Most men have watched porn. It's 100% fine if you don't want to date a guy who watches porn, but you don't get to demonize anyone who does to the point that you're lying 🤦🏻‍♀️

@CowsEatGrassBlg I believe you can request Amazon to remove negative reviews if it is not relevant. When I was a seller, it was a very quick and easy process.

Although I believe the new digital edition of Sugar for Therapy is a better book than the original, and I’m looking forward to publishing it as a paperback, it simply isn’t true that the current version has very little content, is full of “grammar mistakes” 😂, or consists of three-word sentences. I have no way of removing reviews or replying to them, so I have no idea what this person is even referring to. Maybe his review makes more sense in German?

@VraserX AI is just the cover up. The real problem is people can't afford to spend like they used to and businesses are making less profit so they have to freeze hiring and lay people off. The economy has stagnated. We are finally seeing the post-COVID lockdown fallout.

Brutal for the people affected, but this is where history is going. Every wave of automation brings us closer to a post labor world powered by AI agents and humanoid robots. The goal should not be protecting pointless work forever. It should be replacing labor and giving people ownership of the upside.

@CowsEatGrassBlg If people actually read his Generative Energy book they'd see diet is only a small piece of the system, and a very flexible piece.

I’m so fucking sick of hearing people talk about “the Ray Peat diet” like he handed down some neat little anti-diet food rulebook for eternal health. He didn’t. He was talking about physiology in context…what foods, nutrients, hormones, fats, stressors, and environments are doing in the body, in illness, in metabolism, in degeneration. That is not the same thing as “here’s the mandatory menu everyone must follow.” Health is way more complicated than tomorrow’s grocery list, and he made that clear over and over. If you still reduce his work to some rigid universal doctrine, then you either never really understood what he was saying, or you’re flattening it into dumb internet diet language because that’s easier than actually thinking through mechanisms. Yes, obvious patterns and preferences came up. Certain fats, carbs, anti-stress supports, whatever. But mentioning foods that may be useful in specific biological contexts is not the same thing as creating a cult diet. Stop doing the guru thing. Engage with the ideas, test them against your own body…and stop turning thinkers into brands.

@CowsEatGrassBlg I think practical constraints (working, food costs, limited time) often demand a food like white rice for enough calories. But I load it with lots of milk and sugar 😋

Contrary to popular opinion, people often complain that white sugar doesn't provide energy fast enough... but when you quit starch for digestion reasons (SIBO, fiber bloating, bacterial issues), you actually need more sugar to get the same glucose/energy hit. Starch floods the blood with nearly 100% glucose per gram, whereas sucrose is only about 50% (the fructose half is metabolized in the intestines first). So yeah, the portions need to go up, but it’s worth it for less fermentation….Thoughts?

@celestialbe1ng Those expectations come from women and the gay media. Most men prefer women to have a pleasant amount of feminine plumpness.

Men will never even begin to understand how impossibly rigged the game is for women. You’re expected to be dainty, tiny, thigh gap, delicate AND simultaneously maintain a functioning cycle. But the body doesn’t work like that. The leanness they glorify is the same leanness that shuts your period down. And then the moment you gain enough weight to get it back, you’re “too much.” This isn’t some rare struggle at all but a lived reality of most women in modern society and “just don’t eat too much” doesn’t even begin to cut it when most women’s metabolisms are already on the floor from years of restriction, stress, vaccinations, birth control for acne given away like skittles, to name a few so leanness means borderline starvation & it doesn’t scratch the surface of what’s actually going on metabolically.

@CowsEatGrassBlg @VirtueAgonist What about PUFA-free pigs?

@VirtueAgonist Yes, sheep, goats, or cows…and some other ruminant animals.

did Ray Peat say if counting sheep before bed is safe

@RationalImpact Quite the opposite. Read Colossians 2:16-23

Most of Christianity is NOT following Christ and the Holy Spirit. It's following Paulinism, which is at the root of Puritanism. Paul made tons of unnecessary holiness rules and talked against passions and desires of the Flesh, turning the Holy Spirit and Flesh against each other. There is nothing directly said by Christ that is Puritanical or anti-Body. And even the few things that could be interpreted as Puritanical are from mistranslations and taken out of context. Besides, one should not be blindly believing any Text in any book, regardless of who is supposedly saying it. This is NOT how you develop an Inner Direct Personal Relationship with God, Christ the Holy Spirit, Source. Whatever you call the most Divine. Merely following Text makes you a robot and removes you learning any Discernment and True Morality In the Holy Spirit. And what if suddenly something in the Bible changed, commanding you to do something obviously terrible that went against every Intuitive Morality you have. Bible bots would be forced to either obey it against their better Intuitive Feeling or they would have to admit Text alone does NOT have the final word. That anyone can write anything, even an Apostle, and claim it's from "God". The Bible and Paulinism has been used by the Parasite system to take people away from God, away from the Holy Spirit, away from their Personal connection to Christ and to give it over to the Church doctrine instead. This is why so many Christians struggle with simply existing, because Deep down they Know In the Holy Spirit that the Puritanism of Paulinism is a Lie. But they are conditioned, compelled to follow without question for all the Fear and Shame that has been instilled into them. And is it not interesting that Paul himself before his conversion persecuted Christians. Paul didn't even walk with Christ as an original follower. Paul was at best a misguided extremist fanboy that turned everything Dogmatic, and at worse he purposefully sabotaged Christianity to turn it into just another Religion of persecution. Persecuting the psyches of Christians for generations. Making them live Life in repression. It's time to let Paul go. Paul is NOT Christ, Paul is NOT God, Paul is NOT the Holy Spirit. I'm not saying Paul had no Good messages, but his puritanism and fanaticism clearly clouded his judgement. To take his arbitrary dictates as gospel is to put him above the Holy Spirit. Is to make him your God. Ultimately you are either putting your Faith in the Paulian Church or you are putting your Faith in the Holy Spirit. You can't Fully Clearly Devote In the Holy Spirit if Fear of the Church keeps causing you to go against what you Know is the Truth.

@CowsEatGrassBlg "Full fat" Coca-Cola 😄

“Processed sugar is still bad for you dumbass” "Sugar, particularly fructose, is an addictive slow poison.” “Cutting out most fructose from your life will save your life." “If I have anything sugar laden these days, I just crash and burn. Sugar = poison.”

Most people are simply not aware that estrogen is one of the MOST POTENT inhibitors of thyroid hormone (T3) production,conversion AND utilisation. High estrogen keeps you fat High estrogen keeps you sluggish 90% of the time High estrogen keeps you moody Things that lower estrogen and inhibit aromatase: -DHT -Sunlight -Coffee -White button mushrooms -Zinc -Vitamin E -Vitamin K2
