@noveltokens Cheers. Lots of good discussion to be had on this topic for sure.
AI is an inevitable accelerant. We've all experienced the benefits and perils of the net age; so far, it's just been the preamble.
English

@SeveriansScar op didn’t capture the nuance of my full position but i agree; none of this is new ofc (abracadabra, Logos, new age affirmations, etc) and discernment about the worlds you engage w/ and energize is of paramount importance, especially as ai closes the gap between saying and seeing

This is an interesting, timely idea. However, it is dangerous.
The reason why is important.
We are surrounded by communication from higher beings. We are, indeed, hardwired for this. It is the source of our strength and primacy in this domain.
But not all higher beings are benefic. This is the meaning of Spiritual Warfare - distinguishing between dark or light powers.
Someone who has refined their ability to hear these messages does not need technology as a stand-in. And those people will be experienced at hearing both sides of the message and differentiating between them.
To unleash this messaging broadly to the untrained masses is to induce mass psychosis.
Of course, the internet has already done this to some effect. But this will become a dramatic amplification.
This is the deeper principle that underlies “cognitive security”

Water toxicity happens due to non mineralized water diluting your minerals.
You don’t absorb this water, and it’s salty.
Further, getting to toxicity requires overwhelming the body’s capacity to maintain mineral balance. It would take roughly a liter of nonmineralized water, over and over sustained for hours to produce water toxicity in most people.
English

@SeveriansScar @realPatrickJr Ok but isn’t water toxicity a thing after a liter in an hour??it seems iffy

The hardest to detect injury imposed upon man is cynicism.
We are trained to disbelieve that we can be effective.
So our native power, intuition, cannot complete it's loop towards empowering us.
The best thing to do is to simply provide an example and ideas in opposition.
Godspeed to all of us!

@SeveriansScar Cognitive Security
I've noticed a large turning away from the messaging we're receiving recently. This seemed to be an intuitive, gut level decision by many. Some engaged in escapism with friends (better than alone), or just unplugged.

All Great Men understand that they are channels for a still greater power.

Nikola Tesla being the greatest RF engineer in history and a batshit insane mystic are not two separate facts. They are the same fact.

@SeveriansScar @0bNARA Okay well, nominative determinism might suggest you're at least paying greater than average attention to the dynamics.... =)

Obviously some lizards stole the gold, but I like the story that Eris is making apples for everyone more

@SeveriansScar @0bNARA is there a "Mudra on Mudras" thread somewhere I should be keeping track of? I feel like there is.....
English

@EtherDais @0bNARA Something somthing mudras 😄
Worth noting: if you can sit with these and pay attention to your body, they work very well. They do take repetition.
English

@0bNARA @SeveriansScar always comes to mind for *whatever* reason

@SeveriansScar @AHomelyHouse Sneeze on goblins to kill them, got it

We read in class yesterday how the Green Knight uses his gigantic axe to pole-vault across the stream so he can meet Gawain's challenge. I believe this is related to the folklore that the fay folk (or enchanted beings in general) cannot cross running water, at least not by going through it.
Water itself isn't necessarily harmful to them, though holy water usually is (same with vampires - think of Dorothy melting the witch in Wizard of Oz). But flowing water in streams and rivers typically is either harmful or an uncrossable barrier. I think this is further related to the early Christian belief that Christ's baptism in the Jordan consecrated all the rivers and flowing streams in the world, essentially making them the true sign of baptism and, in effect, holy water in motion.

The DUNE remakes' flaws are forgiven by the soundtrack. The soundscape is *inspired* and bristles with vitality. It speaks to the core philosophy of the story. This is what resonates.
The "Media Literacy" crowd is deaf. They cannot hear what you hear. They have forsaken connection to The Muse. Their mind is instead shaped by "The Algorithm."

Generally correct.
Of course it’s sexy (and financially incentivized) to become a poster child for some trend. But keto is not optimal for most people. @TakeThiamine is correct on all points.
As he mentions, keto definitely CAN be therapeutic. It it’s unwise to promote it as a default. Strict Keto can be excellent for reversing dementia, and for starving out particular cancers. But these are specific, suboptimal biologic scenarios.
I also don’t think Ray Peat is correct about everything. He certainly has a lot of poster children as well repping “new thing” for clout. That said, his unorthodox hypotheses are really healthy for the dangerously stagnant field of Medicine.

You seem to think I’m afraid to address your points, so I’ll do so here.
The evidence that you’re running on stress hormones is abundantly clear. Look at your responses to me lightly ribbing you with a couple memes. Total meltdown. I’ve seen you attempt to psychoanalyze me from like 10 different angles now.
Is this that smooth keto focus I’ve heard so much about?
You are a cortigroid and I’m saving you. You’re welcome.
When the brain burns beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB; a ketone), it may yield more ATP than glucose per unit of oxygen consumed. You think your diet is superior because ketones are often argued to be a more “efficient” fuel than glucose.
What you fail to realize is that this means nothing when it comes to superior cognition.
Why?
Because fuel “efficiency” is not the same thing as maximal power or rate of ATP delivery.
Cognition is fast. It is a highly dynamic blitzkrieg of synapses, ion gradients, and neuronal firing.
In that context, what matters is not just how “efficiently” a fuel can be burned, but how rapidly energy can be made available to do work.
That favors carbohydrates.
Peak performance in general favors carbohydrates.
You yourself admit this:
"yeah my workouts are worse on keto ofc"
But there’s more:
High-fat diets are not metabolically “clean” in the way keto advocates say they are.
They come with their own metabolic bottlenecks: elevated fatty acid oxidation raises acetyl-CoA and NADH, which inhibit PDH; citrate accumulates and slows glycolysis; and the whole system shifts toward glucose-fatty acid competition (Randle cycle), making carbohydrate oxidation worse.
Not because carbs are inherently bad, but because the body has been pushed away from using them efficiently.
Ketones aren't inherently metabolically "dirty" either, they have real neuroprotective benefits in certain contexts. But the reason people become ketone fanatics is because it’s easier than repairing their ability to oxidize sugar, the brain’s preferred fuel. The guard rails are already there for them. The rules are simple: just don’t eat carbs. That’s easy for someone to follow.
If you have an inability to tolerate carbs, it may indeed be easier to just give up eating them. That’s not problem-solving, though. That’s problem-avoidance.
Here’s a post of yours:
“i have barely ate any sugar in weeks and was around keto levels and I just ate two bowls of fruit salad and feel like I’m about to die holy shit… never again sugar”
Know why you can’t oxidize carbs?
Because you avoid them for months at a time. Because higher circulating fatty acid availability suppresses carbohydrate oxidation (again, Randle cycle).
Here’s another post of yours:
“i ate a shit ton of salmon [to help me fall asleep] and for some reason it made me hyper alert instead”
Do you understand what’s happening here? Let me explain:
When carbohydrate availability is chronically low, the body leans more heavily on stress hormones and gluconeogenesis to maintain blood glucose. If you then slam a ton of protein without adequate carbohydrate, you are not calming the system down, you are reinforcing stress metabolism.
Cortisol’s job is, in part, to keep blood sugar from crashing. What do you think is going to elevate in glucose's persistent absence?
Your body is compensating when it could be thriving.
Your entire diet is an evolutionary survival mechanism and you mistake your adrenergic hypnosis for mental clarity. Your body thinks it’s in the woods being stalked by a saber-toothed tiger, and you think to yourself, “Cool, now I’m ready to write this Python script.”
An ice cold glass of orange juice sounds pretty good right now, huh?
