The connection between soil erosion an the fall of civilizations, you non-orthodox (but probably right) views about grazing intensity, your personal story... A lot of good stuff overall.
No questions for now - I'm getting down to reading :)
Thanks, that should keep me occupied for quite some time!
The article you sent is great. I would appreciate some literature on regenerative grazing, soil health and also the business side of starting and running a regen ranch.

The most interesting stuff I've listened to in a long time. Would you be willing to make a must read compilation about the topics you covered in the pod?
Please don't fast your cat. Human beings are well adapted to prolonged fasting, cats are most certainly not. Just feed it a proper cat diet instead of the processed bullshit that the industry is trying to sell you.
You might think of adding a reminder under your notes to the tune of "there are no ads here, zaps are the only source of income for this npub, pls zap". There's a reason why YouTubers always explicitly ask for likes and subscriptions - it really motivates some people that wouldn't think of it otherwise.

Wow, this is cool!
One fat one won't allow you to route.

Who will win - CBDC or Skibidi-C? I've already placed my bets.
I, for one, really welcome the change. I remember that during my university studies I was really frustrated with all those standardized tests, but really liked oral exams. Less objective, true, but in the end more conducive to real understanding instead of just remembering stuff.
Well, my current identity is most certainly my circumstances to some degree, but I believe in a shared Identity that's eternal. Not a fan of the current form of Christianity either, especially the various Protestant kinds.
Ha, from what I've gathered you are not really fond of religion, but what you are talking about quickly turns into a religious question. You can go further with your questioning and ask what is the Entity that survives the death of identity and how it would manifest in a human form. Not suggesting anything (ekhm, Christ).
Let me convince you otherwise with facts and logic, lol.
Facilitating glucose transport one of insulin's responsibilities in the body. But it's a kind of "macro hormone", doubling also as a general growth factor (stimulating protein sythesis) and electrolyte metabolism regulator (among others). Sources:

Dietary amino acids influence insulin secretion, so you can get an insulin elevation from a large enough bolus of protein in one meal. Source:

Ketosis is insulin-dependent, not glucose-dependent (well, it's more complex that that, but oh well). That's why type 1 diabetics can get into ketosis (and even ketoacidosis) even while eating carbs.
Well, not necessarily carbs, but insulin. You can get an insulin boost by gorging on steak too. And I believe that periodically raised insulin is indeed healthy - if not for muscle growth, then for sodium retention by the kidneys. But that does not mean you carbs in your diet. Carnivore with big, less frequent meals seems to be optimal, species-specific way of eating for human. You eat meat, get out of ketosis for a while and then you're back again.
As an aside, have a look at this paper about human trophic level: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1002/ajpa.24247
Sounds like something that might interest you.
If something is just meh, whatever it is, it does not play a role of a religious/spiritual experience *for you*. There are multiple ways of approaching God / Tao / The Ground of Being / whateveryoucallit, science being one of them. But if you approach Him close enough, the technical reason stops being sufficient and you'll spontaneously start doing weird shit like falling down on your knees, awestruck.
The established religions are simply traditional ways of responding to the divine that used to work and still work for a large (but diminishing) number of people. By "work", I mean "elicit a feeling of conformance to God".
Sorry for rambling, this is what nostr does to a man. Wish you all the best. Search and you will find.
