Absolutely. I’d really like to see RFK Jr. have a go at it. I think Trump would like to tule like Putin rules Russia. I don’t think Americans want that. The Russians would change it if they could.

If you were designing an experiment to determine how an animal is assessing quantity how would you determine if the assessment is numerical or spatial? I think it’s interesting to ponder. Maybe three dispensers with identical treats each set to dispense a different number of treats over the course of a day? Would a dog eventually optimize the system if every machine would dispense one treat before progressing to the maximum set number and disabling the other dispensers?

My guess would be something like this. Most people have a set of associated IP addresses with confirmed transactions online. There are thousands of leaky apps logged in to some version of your identity. Any Bitcoin transaction will have IP addresses associated with the sent and received blockchain data. If the Bitcoin you hold were moved into your wallet and associated with that same IP address than that BTC can be marked, devalued, and seized. Volume, VPN, and Tor all help.

Yet another reason to not be a wage slave and to put your assets into trusts owned by LLC companies. There are ways, but also ways for motivated entities and agencies to pierce the veil of privacy. It’s a matter of making discovery effortful, expensive, and difficult.

What did you think about Pulp Fiction?

Physicist. Question. Do you perceive mathematics as a human construct used to describe the physical world fairly accurately, or the fundamental language of the universe, where any shortcomings in applying that language is simply a lack of understanding of nuance and complexity by our species?

It seems to me that if mathematics is the most concise methodology for communicating and describing aspects of the natural world animal intelligences other than humans would have capitalized on this long ago. Opinions?

If intelligent life from another galaxy showed up on earth tomorrow would their fundamental mathematics be the same as ours?

Outback Steakhouse is garbage, or at least the one I went to was. Cattlemen’s was excellent. We had three steaks as a family, two filets and one ribeye. All were very good.

As an obvious connoisseur of fine beef, have you ever had a steak at a restaurant that is as good as what you prepare at home? I have once, at a $100 a plate restaurant. Otherwise. Not. Good.

I found this interesting.

There is always opportunity cost to every pursuit. I struggle with this too. I’ve asked older people. The answer always comes back as spend less time away from those you love and enjoy. If playing WOW brings you to those people as it does for me, I think it is a worthy pursuit.

The hardest thing about being carnivore is the transition. A lot of people are mentally prepared to beat themselves up in the gym, but they are not mentally prepared for the emotional rollercoaster of breaking a carb addiction or the fear that eating only meat is somehow dangerous--which is amplified by all the discomfort of withdrawal & the lack of fat adaption.

The transition pains vary from person to person, both in symptoms & duration, but can be very flu like. Hangry cravings are pretty much inevitable & everything that isn't sugar may temporarily taste like cardboard. Dying organisms in your gut release chemicals that manipulate your mood & responses to certain foods. Generally after about 2 weeks people feel dramatically better, but it does take longer for some.

Ability to work out or run with the same intensity as before can take time to recover. Your body has to get good at predicting & producing all needed glucose for high intensity activities. It's helpful to think of it similarly to the adjustment that comes with working out at high altitude, however, recovery from all exercise should generally be better & faster.

Focus on consuming fatty meats (not chicken), saturated fat is your friend. If you want to burn fat you need to eat fat. Carbs & sugar put you in a hormonal state that produces fat rather than burning it. Calories are mostly irrelevant. Your brain is the most resource hungry organ & will consume much more energy in the form of ketones & glucose (produced by your liver) after you become fat adapted. So you will actually be able to consume more calories from meat without gaining weight.

It's important to distinguish between carb cravings & real hunger, if steak or eggs or salmon don't sound good then it's probably not real hunger. But when you are really hungry, eat as much steak & eggs & other real foods as you want. Liver & other organs are NOT necessary, & based on my experience may even be detrimental. Keep things simple & consistent.

After 5+years of carnivore, fatty steaks, eggs & lots of salt every day, my blood pressure is lower than when I started. BP dropped from ~130/80 to ~100/60. Everything the fiat medical industry has to say about diet is wrong. Fat is not a body type. Stop listening to them & fix your health. Most "incurable" health issues are curable.

This is spot on. If anyone is curious about the biochemistry behind this and evolutionary reasons for the process just ask!

If you have more than 5% body fat fasting for 72 hours is within your reach. You cannot metabolize fat until blood sugar levels are stable at 90-100 for 36 hours to allow blood insulin levels to drop. You can buy blood glucose testers and blood ketone testers for $40 on Amazon to monitor your status and progress.
