Biohacking for Personality Change

@Colin_d_m you could have worded this somewhat better i do agree though upon a third read

This woman will never drive again and had no intention to kill. If you believe in 100% rehabilitative justice you should support letting her go. But you probably don’t think that and neither do I. We should stop bullshitting and be honest. Sometimes prison exists only to punish.

@lowmegatron this is a gem

“An oil researcher' spent 100 days eating what he considered to be the "Eskimo diet," seal blubber and mackerel paste. He observed that his blood lipid peroxides (measured as malondialdehyde, MDA) reached a level 50 times higher than normal, and although MDA is teratogenic, he said he wasn't worried about fathering deformed children, because his sperm count had gone to zero. Evidently, he didn't have a very thorough understanding of the Eskimo way of life. In most traditional cultures, the whole animal is used for food, including the brain and the endocrine glands. Since unsaturated fats inhibit thyroid function, and since Eskimos usually have a high caloric intake but are not typically obese, it seems that their metabolic rate is being promoted by something in their diet, which might also be responsible for protecting them from the effects experienced by the oil researcher. (According to G. W. Crile, the basal metabolic rate of Eskimos was 125% of that of people in the United States.) People who eat fish heads (or other animal heads) generally consume the thyroid gland, as well as the brain. The brain is the body's richest source of cholesterol, which, with adequate thyroid hormone and vitamin A, is converted into the steroid hormones pregnenolone, progesterone, and DHEA, in proportion to the quantity circulating in blood in low-density lipoproteins. The brain is also the richest source of these very water-insoluble (hydrophobic) steroid hormones; it has a concentration about 20 times higher than the serum, for example. The active thyroid hormone is also concentrated many-fold in the brain.” — Ray Peat: Oils in Context

@signulll being short is worse than being dead. I've seen it with my own eyes. People treat short men like subhumans. And people deny them the dignity of believing their problems are real because it would strip away their illusion that the world is fair and they are fair

if you have a son whose height is likely to be below 6ft then you should look at hgh because culturally the penalty for being under 6ft as a dude is now pretty damn brutal. rich ppl are already doing it. likely greater decrease in quality of life than the potential cancer risk with using hgh.

@xwanyex hella fat people too

@forestmanjohn once i get more money imma buy 1 i just followed u

3 months ago, I quit my job to chase a dream: to build an affordable, convenient, plastic-free coffee maker. Grateful for everyone who has reserved ❤️ puresteelco.com

@samhall404 how many people in your own estimate suffer from pssd?

@cg_finney Sure. Although if ok with you, it’s my preference to interact publicly so lay people, clinicians and the media can see the discussion. Understand if it’s not something you want to discuss here though.

1/ People often ask why I speak out so loudly about what my experience with psychiatric drug protracted withdrawal. The answer is simple: I already lost everything. Silence costs me nothing. Speaking up might save someone else. 🧵

@KristyT yupppp.

When I say society is getting more and more complex this is part of what I mean. The number of systems one needs to understand and their overlaps continues to grow. Intelligence (systems thinking) is the new measurable gap.

@bluewmist these are all actually pretty popular opinions

here are all my unpopular opinions - having zero health problems is a luxury most men don’t realize. - the less available you are, the more seriously people take you. Yes, even family. - most "midlife crises" are actually just people finally getting honest about what they actually want versus what they were told to want. - physical books will always be better than e-books. - living with parents is free but you pay with your mental health - landlords should not be able to increase rent unless they're upgrading the apartment.

@lordmiles tutorial plz

I have the most secure schizo phone outside of government. Google pixel 10 pro XL with graphene OS, all cameras removed, accelerometer removed, speakers removed, microphone removed and temp sensor removed. No USB-C board, port filled with epoxy. If the back is opened up, a circuit breaks and the memory is shocked with 80 volts.

@fredsoda yup its catch-22 world

As someone who has lived a pseudo-NEET lifestyle for ~4 months, I get why people “check out,” or give up on participating in society. I totally get it, especially for men. If the game is rigged, why bother playing? But the longer you check out, the harder it is to “check in.”

@AsianDawn4 dave bautista is wasian???

@ShitpostRock yup its hell

@d0wnsideofme i hope delivery apps die. they make americans fat and lazy

@nickcammarata one of my earliest forays into meditation was watching my enjoyment of a piece of food steadily decrease throughout the meal

i'm grateful that one bite of the thing is like 70% as satisfying as eating the whole thing

@moultano true as fuck

Childhood is half of life.

@viewsceo proving the blackpill correct. he's rich, famous, connected, ran over a guy and beat the case, plus free penthouse. all because he ascended. not too long ago he was a nobody posting stuff like this

Clavicular shows off his new $5M+ penthouse, reportedly gifted to him by Adin Ross 👀

@nickcammarata theres no shot that emfs aren't important

my wooest take is there's something here and idk what it is

@policefala never kill yourself
