*SOME* bitcoiners don’t like #seedoils because they are a demonstration of industrialized food manufacturing. Seed oils come from plants, which can make them sound like a good, natural ingredient. However, they are a HIGHLY processed food, some might call them ultra-processed, (similar to high fructose corn syrup, as an example), and also high in Omega-6 which can be inflammatory like other polyunsaturated fat. This isn’t good for cardiovascular function and chronic inflammation has been linked to arthritis, type-2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.

The issue is not that polyunsaturated fats are necessarily bad for you, in moderation. The problem is that seed oils are in almost EVERYTHING we eat, from processed packaged foods, fast foods, and well… everything. Next time you go to the grocery store, look on the ingredients list for Canola oil (aka Rapeseed oil), Corn oil, Cottonseed, Grapeseed oil, Palm oil, Soybean oil, Sunflower oil, Safflower oil, etc. You’ll be hard-pressed (pun intended) to find a packaged product that does not have at least one of these.

Some bitcoiners are focused on healthy living, including growing their own food and eating grass-fed beef. Some bitcoiners are also concerned about the quality of life of other sentient animals in factory farms and don’t eat any meat at all! (Myself included.)

It’s important to recognize that Bitcoiners are not health experts. We may be ahead of the average person at understanding the value of sound money, financial sovereignty, freedom of speech, P2P transactions, cryptography, energy markets, the failures of central banking, and monetary history, but that does *not* mean you should take medical advice from any of us. Subject matter expertise in one domain (like #bitcoin) does not necessarily equate proficiency in another.

What should you do?

Read.

Ask questions (like you are).

Consult with trusted physicians and nutritionists about what’s right for you, at your age, energy level, and body-type.

I’ve been doing both for a while now, with limited success. More than zero, but still limited.

I would join this.

And I couldn’t possibly agree with THIS more!

That’ll earn a follow from me, Boss. nostr:note1nume4yxezen5f4j0k7l6xvjy8my3au6dyzspxnnd7hh8f0twydyqyhnp8l

The footnotes are fucking hilarious. I could feel DFW laughing with me from the grave. What tension he puts his characters, and readers, through! So much fun.

I decided to rewatch the series. Will post more quotes as they hit me.

“Every morning, Summer, I eat breakfast twenty yards away from my own rotting corpse. […] I’m better than your brother. I’m a version of your brother you can trust when he says, ‘Don’t run. Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody’s gonna die.’

Come watch TV.”

Nondual meditation

“Communistic”?

Get your head examined. Honestly. Seek therapy. I’ll pay.

Run like Hal

“Woke”? LOL

Andreas promotes respect for others.

Sad that you would promote any other kind of ideology.

Close your eyes and sit comfortably. Let your body fall into a cloud of sensations, and become aware of the light show behind your closed eyes. Pay close attention to any sounds as they appear.

What does it *FEEL* like to pay attention?

…linger on that for a moment…

Is there *someone* FEELING what it feels like to pay attention? Isn’t the sense of someone also just a feeling?
