Day 12 of keto diet. I'm only down 1.3 kg (about the weight of glycogen and water) so far. I hit that number already on day 3, so really no progress for 9 days now. I'm rather disappointed, I thought I could eat as much as I want and still lose weight. Maybe the reason this works for so many people is that they were previously eating junk... whereas I was not previously eating junk. I've been using strips to test my ketosis and I've stayed in ketosis the whole time.

On the plus side the diet is quite satiating. It's super easy to do. I don't have cravings and don't have to use will-power to make it through. I could do this forever if I chose to, nearly effortlessly.

The other plus is my IBS is gone. This isn't the first time I've been able to do that -- just giving up grains, milk and coffee caused it to go away previously. I've identified all three of those as culprits, each multiplying the effect of the others.

Only I'm not convinced that eating a diet that doesn't cause weight loss but does jack up my LDL is a good idea (please don't respond with "LDL is good" unless you personally authored the study ok? I don't draw scientific conclusions from Internet advisors).

So I'll probably move back to a grain-free (but with beans), milk-free (but with cheese), sugar-free, heavy vegetable and meat diet with fruit in season.... but I'll give keto a bit longer.

137. Bitcoin and Central Banks

Some governments are exploring the idea of creating their own digital currency, called CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency), but this raises concerns about surveillance and citizen control.

Bitcoin, on the other hand, is seen as an alternative that offers greater freedom and personal control.

Bitcoin advocates point out that CBDCs could be used to monitor individual transactions, while Bitcoin remains a neutral, uncensored means of payment.

信仰是理性最伟大的归宿。

苏格拉底：我唯一知道的就是我什么都不知道。

哈耶克：信仰科学，是最大的反科学！因为科学就是怀疑一切，包括科学本身。

理性的最高境界，就是认识到理性的有限；理性的最伟大归宿，就是走出理性（科学）的笼子；走向超（越）理性的（对上帝的）信仰，走向生命不可或缺的活泼的灵性；最终，走向无限与永恒等科学无法企及、生命必不可缺的超验境界。

The way it should be

I have gathered enough information with names, surnames, and usernames, and now I have a very clear picture in my mind of how all of this works. I don’t know what to do with this information, I’m not sure. I know almost every one of you, and I clearly understand this whole game. I believe I have no reason to stay in this place anymore.
