@mojito_flow @GraduatedBen Low blood pressure is seen as an adrenal insufficiency. You would probably benefit from some adaptogens. Nicotine is similar but has a more focused action. Astragalus, rhodiola, etc. That and more electrolytes. (not medical advice, just observation).

@Luke_Tera @GraduatedBen Wow that’s fucking awesome. Nicotine is the only thing that keeps my blood pressure normal lol. Ever since I was a kid my blood pressure was like 95/60.

I think heavy use of nicotine pouches is going to end up being worse for brain health than even pack-a-day smoking, via acetylcholine receptor downregulation, and chronic vasoconstriction leading to endothelial dysfunction > reduction in white and gray matter.

This is probably going to work against the establishment. It means small actors can leverage tech to level the playing field. The green space just expanded massively, small teams can now take on giants. Think orthogonally. Adopt cypherpunk mentality--this tool kit is an asset to small developers. Big companies will use it but aren't so agile.

@walterkirn This is not slop. This is the opposite of slop. This is a laser-guided bunker-buster AI video meme, S-tier, new bar. Based, bangs, all day. More please!

True, but there's some nuance: 1. Not everyone converts NAC to GSH in a normal fashion. Genetic defects or other deficiencies can severely limit this process. 2. The NAC->GSH pathway is rate-limited, and it's tough to get supraphysiological doses of GSH when it might be useful--detox from metals, mold, drugs, etc. That said, NAC is great, useful for other things too, but when in doubt, go directly to GSH. SubQ injections of GSH are supremely effective (they do burn a bit though)

@James07172325 @GraduatedBen If you end up trying out the sublingual GSH, give it a month or two, but let me know how it works for you. DHT optimization is definitely worth doing. Good luck!

@Luke_Tera @GraduatedBen Hrm. I did not know that. And it’s pretty interesting considering i have a major dht conversion issue and am also a pretty heavy zyn user. However even before the nicotine i have had issues with dht conversion unfortunately.

@ChrisGTONews @GraduatedBen some are, some aren't. Some are natural nicotine in salt form, thus more accurately called "semisynthetic."

A simple sublingual liposomal glutathione product works well. I like Quicksilver's, but there are others. Use it after you brush your teeth, the gums are stimulated and uptake increases, at least theoreticaly, but I feel like I notice it more. One note: liposomal products must be refrigerated, and their shelf-life isn't awesome. Use it up fast (daily doses) and it won't be a problem. interesting note: testosterone is converted to DHT in the oral mucosa & periodontal tissue by glutathione. You probably know DHT is important, it's 5x more androgenic than testosterone itself.

Jevon’s paradox strikes again.
Sar Haribhakti@sarthakgh

"For one thing, the macrodata isn’t matching the anecdata: The unemployment rate was 4.3 percent in March 2026; in March of 2020, it was 4.4 percent. Average hourly earnings are stable. Claude Code is a marvel, yet demand for software engineers is booming. Maybe mass layoffs are coming. But maybe not." "The more automation there is, the more people value a human’s touch. Take coffee. It was once laborious to make espresso at home. Now, Nespresso machines are everywhere. Has that led to Starbucks closing and neighborhood coffee spots dropping their prices? Of course not. There are more baristas than ever. There are more coffee shops than ever. Coffee as a commodity led to more demand for coffee as an experience. “The fact that the good is scarce is exactly what gives it meaning,” Imas writes."

If I said, “the house is 1200sqft” you would say that’s too small. If I showed you this house you would start finding reasons why it’s the perfect size.

How much money would you need to retire? Not to retire with fancy things. Just fucking retire and spend the days doing what you want.

(most) people are messy creatures of habit. My local facebook community feed is full of people who need some tech help with a printer driver or recovering some files on their mac who could one-shot these tasks with an LLM query, but instead ask their neighbors for help on an online message board. Lesson in there. For SMBs, the capabilities are already there, but the will and drive to use LM automations is not, and won't be for a long time, maybe not until the younger generation takes the helm.

Jobs are a sequence of tasks, and so are entire organizations. AI is already capable of sequencing tasks. By the time AI can do all tasks, it will be able to replace all organizations. It will be a single transition point.

Why is the AI backlash growing? Outside of coding (where there is clear value), and a handful of other domains (e.g. brainstorming), Generative AI has been a net negative for society. GenAI has been undermining secondary and college education, opening up mass surveillance, increasing disinformation, delusions, impersonation, phishing, and other forms of cybercrime, nonconsensual deep fake porn, bias in employment and other domains, and economic disparity, drowning the world in slop and unwanted, over-leveraged environment-damaging data centers that risk causing a recession. Simultaneously it has empowered a bunch of people who want to privatize almost all the gains while leave all the downsides to society, taking almost zero responsibility. I don’t think we are better off than we were four years ago. Some of this is technical (LLMs aren’t reliable), some of it is political/economic (such as the utter lack of responsible regulation). Most of this was predictable. Almost none of it is good. All that said, I honestly believes some future form of AI might be great. But Generative AI has hurt more than it has helped, and been managed irresponsibly. It’s no wonder many people have had enough.

Ray Peat completely misunderstood the nature of the body. Treating inflammation as a mistake to be chemically suppressed instead of a process to be completed is exactly why people stay stuck. Imagine thinking you’re smarter than your own homeostatic feedback loops.
Ray Peat Quotes@RayPeatQuotes

Vitamin E, like progesterone and aspirin, acts within the cellular regulatory systems, to prevent inflammation and inappropriate excitation. Since uncontrolled excitation causes destructive oxidations, these substances prevent those forms of oxidation.
