I can say zapvertising works @npub1cj8…rz4u and I'm glad I listened to the podcast. I've known a little bit about grounding (I try to do it everyday while sun bathing) and the problems blue light causes, but after hearing this episode I decided to finally verify and bought some of those ambar lightbulbs that filter out blue light as well as some blue light filter glasses. I'll definitely be getting a daylight device as well, I hope they bring out a laptop soon!

I do plan on doing that in his ranch this fall, but it would be in Spanish. I publish all my English content exclusively on Nostr but it seems that long form content isn't a thing here, so I'm on the fence on whether I should do an additional interview in English or not.

2024-06-18 21:23:24

Here is Dr. Shawn Baker's recent podcast with, Alejandro Carrillo, a regenerative rancher bringing back the grasslands to my home state, Chihuahua.
I consider him a friend, but haven't managed to orange or purple pill him yet. Hopefully I'll be able to visit his ranch in the fall of this year, maybe I'll have better luck then. Anyways, if you're in Mexico and would like to try his beef, let me know and I'll let you know when he starts commercializing it.

The reason would be saving vs investing. Saving is supposed to be easy, with the lowest level of risk, which is what gold was and what bitcoin will be one day. Nowadays people thing investing and saving are the same, they're not, fiat distorted this.
Stocks and real estate could offer a higher return in the future, after hyperbitcoinization, but there are more risks to both; the government could seize either, a storm could destroy your properties, businesses could go to 0, etc. Bitcoin just sits there, slowly appreciating without you having to do anything, which means it will be more of an individualized risk-tolerance thing.
I think bitcoin will bring back value investing to stocks.

The scenario you're describing with the restaurant is a free market scenario, where the restaurant stops wasting food not because a law made it so but because of profit motives. People look down upon certain actions and if they become aware of it, they vote with their money and go somewhere else. The restaurant either gets it or goes out of business.
I lot of farmers would probably have better yields as well if they would leave all the monocrop Fiat agriculture behind, sure it might be profitable in the short term, but long term you destroy your own soil and are therefore reducing yield in the long term. With time, many are forced to pay for expensive fertilizers and pesticides to grow and protect their weak crops. Now, these monocrop agricultural tendencies exist because of government intervention; wheat, corn and soy are heavily subsidized by the US government in the USA, for example. Farmers have a guaranteed price on this these crops and humans love certainty, so that's what a lot choose to grow. If the free market wasn't being manipulated by government intervention, then you probably wouldn't see a lot of people growing things that make them poorer over time.
Also, people are generally more generous the less they are stolen/taxed from. I can see charities working in an anarchic society, better than they work now, and people being taken care of if needed. So without a government to "take responsibility" for the poor and to steal from productive people, those with some money would probably be self-interested in helping out locally to take care of the homeless in their neighborhoods.
So basically, I don't see the need for the adjective of communism in anarchy. Left to their own devices, humans naturally cooperate and trade with one another, and those who respect property rights the most, develop civilization the most. Human action and property rights are the cornerstone of capitalism. It's not some greedy entrepreneur with a big hat, they become a problem (corporations) when they get in bed with the government and that has an actual name, fascism (which stems from socialist ideology). Unfortunately, people toss that word around so much that they don't even know what it means.

The question is, how would this society enforce the "don't allow" part?
I can see this food scenario becoming more of a societal norm in some places (ie. Germans don't like littering but it's very common in poorer countries) and in other areas you'd probably sign an agreement. That's the rules without rulers part of anarchy and I agree that is something plausible, to have almost everyone handle their food responsibly *and* voluntarily. The important thing is avoiding control of the food supply and how it is used by some central authority, maybe some people would want to "throw away" food to make compost. Would they be punished and how would that go about? The free market would end up offering the best solutions.

There's a lot to unpack here, and there's no way to fully express the ideas of Murray Rothbard, Saifedean Ammous, Hoppe, etc in one post but I'll do my best. Also, your meme is describing what's going on with the current system around the world, no anarchism necessary.
I don't know your background on Austrian economics, but basically, it has been seen time and time again that government is unable to perform economic calculation over production decisions, because of the economic calculation problem. Yet...government can protect property and protect against foreign enemies, right? But, isn't protecting property just another market good? Why can government produce property protection but not apples? Defense is an economic good, it has utility and it is scarce. Individuals can produce it for themselves or acquire it from others on the market. The market for defense is highly developed, from safety locks, alarms and surveillance cameras to drones, guns, security guards and armored vehicles. Also, there are more private security personnel than state security personnel in the world.
There is no satisfactory answer to the allocation of defense resources without private property and economic calculation. Without property rights, there is no objective unit against which to measure the utility from individual allocation decisions. There is no way to allocate scarce resources to where they would produce the most value.
The reality is that defense is provided on the market already. Government defense is mostly about defending the government, not the people. They really couldn't stop the BLM riots or January 6th? Yet they managed to force thousands of businesses to close during the pandemic and lock up millions in their homes.
In a free market individuals would be able to calculate the best allocation of resources and property to meet these needs in the best way they can. Without a free market in these resources, allocation is made without calculation. Tax-funded security providers have no incentive to care about customer satisfaction or resource conservation.
Security and defense are like any other good: best provided through division of labor, capital accumulation, and entrepreneurial calculation in an extended market order. In practice, most security is provided by the market. But it would be a lot better if we didn't have a monopoly (the government). Americans pay enormous sums to police and military, but they are very unsafe. Imagine if the people of Chicago or New York had all their wealth that goes to the police and army available to them to spend on security services that were responsible to them, had no monopoly, no special legal protections under the law, no right to initiate aggression, and no ability to extract tax.
Long story short, if you can't trust the government in running things like the economy, education, transportation, etc. Why would you entrust them with something as important and necessary as defense? Also, voting harder doesn't work.

Communism implies there has to be a central planner in some area of life, you just mentioned food. If people didn't sign up to follow the food laws of this commissar and are coerced to obey, that's not anarchy. If they can opt out and are not coerced, then it can be anarchy, but not really communism as individuals are given priority. You could, as an individual, sign into a community with these rules though. But can communism work as a whole? I don't see a way around the economic calculation problem to be honest.

You mean public land?
From what I understand, and correct me if I'm wrong, you're arguing that we need a government to protect a region of land and secure the borders, because individuals cannot do it as efficiently. So anyone arguing for anarchy, is going to get that piece of land invaded or overrun by immigrants. Is that correct?
Also some questions to understand the context:
-You mention "just one guy", are we talking about 1 anarchist living amongst statists or a hypothecal area of land inhabited by anarcho-capitalists? I wouldn't demolish a nation at the snap of a finger right now if I could, people don't understand economics and property rights, so it would all devolve into chaos and you'd most likely get another state to replace the previous one. I'm more for slowly defanging the state initially (minarchism or libertarianism), parallel economies, separating money and state, monarchies replacing democracies would be interesting, etc. Then and only then do I think that anarchism over an area of land makes sense.
-What are group property rights? Who decides what happens or is done with the property in the group? Can you take your property within this group property along with you if want to opt out?

2024-06-10 21:05:06

- reply

There's a difference between anarco-communists and anarco-capitalists, in the latter, property rights are a thing. I wouldn't let random people with different values and mindsets onto my property for obvious reasons and I'm sure most people feel the same way.

This is basically it, to be honest, as long as you prioritise red fatty meat. Keep it simple.
If you want to be super strict about it, try to get at least 1.75gr of protein per kilogram of lean body mass. A fat to protein ratio of 1:1 works well, although some might need 2:1 initially if you're feeling fatigued.

I'm curious on your take on Milei, he's been receiving mixed criticisms amongst libertarians and anarcho capitalists. At first it sounded contradictory to me that, a supposed ancap, would run for president and I naturally distrust politicians, but I guess an ancap could try do it to actually damage the government from the inside. The problem I see with that though, is that power corrupts and politics is a cesspool that eventually gets to you.

Hey, no problem, ask away. There aren't any studies that I'm aware of that look into the effects of the carnivore diet long term in relation to sex hormones. But generally, ketogenic diets have shown to reduce the level of estrogens circulating in the blood, most likely due to the loss of adipose tissue (a source of estrogen production), therefore resulting in a lowering of aromatase activity in fat tissue (aromatase is an enzyme that converts androgens to estrogens).
So it seems excess estrogen isn't a problem while on a carnivore diet, for both men and women, it's actually a way of reversing gynecomastia in men. The liver metabolizes estrogens into conjugated estrogens, making them more watersoluble and then eliminating them mainly through the kidneys but also through biliary excretion. Some of the conjugated estrogens in the bile can then be deconjugated by bacterial enzymes in the gut and reabsorbed. Fiber can help reduce some of this reabsorbtion, but that might be "helpful" for people on a SAD diet, where they might actually have excess estrogen. That doesn't seem to be the case on carnivore. Cheers!
TLDR: It doesn't seem excess estrogen is a problem on a ketogenic diet, therefore it would probably be even less of a problem on carnivore. Also, most of estrogens are eliminated through the kidneys and not the bile, so no worries about reabsorption there.

Nutritional science is not a hard science, there are a lot of misconceptions out there that want to convince you that exogenous sugar is "good" and "necessary". Nonsense, the minimum requirement for exogenous carbohydrates is 0 grams. I'm not saying go 100% carnivore, I'm just saying you don't need carbs to function optimally and anyone saying otherwise doesn't understand basic human physiology.

Hey! I don't know if you've had an oxalate heavy diet in the past but oxalate dumping can occur to those who suddenly adopt a low carb or carnivore diet. The thing is, it can appear relatively soon after starting this diet or many months after, it's still not known why. Peanut butter is an oxalate bomb, so you never know if you can develop oxalate problems later on if you start eating it regularly, but the poison is in the dose. Anyways, I'd just be aware of any symptoms developing over time and if they appear, it would probably be the peanut butter. Cheers.

2024-05-31 17:23:06

This is the way. Many doctors don't bother to question what they are taught, they're bombarded with so much information, exams and making presentations that they leave them not wanting to dig deeper or think critically. Also, you can rarely question the doctor giving the class, undermine his authority and you run the risk of a hard/terrible time. There's this strange ego thing among many of the educators and they seem to pass it onto the students.
You need a doctor/patient relationship, it cannot be a one-sided relationship, a lot of patients even known more about their diseases than a lot of docs, because they have a vested interest.

Very few people actually follow a 100% carnivore diet, at least for the majority of their time on it. My diet consists of 90-95% meat, eggs, butter, salt and water; the remainder is pretty much dairy and occasional fruits.
Apart from electrolytes, it's recommended to initially transition slowly into a carnivore diet throughout 6-8 weeks to avoid a lot of the issues that one can suffer. Also, make sure you're getting enough fat, avoiding eating lean meat and if you do, add plenty of extra fat. Ear until the meat stops tasting good, a lot of people undereat. Cheers!

How often do you encounter an obese person who hasn't been losing weight on carnivore? Also, what do you define as a carnivore?

I've been thinking of getting one, how would you grade it for staying in shape? Do you feel the need to add other things for a full workout?

Ex atheist here. Not an admirer of Jordan Peterson, but there's a phrase he uses that I agree with, "I act as if God exists". I feel God is a good way to anchor a basic moral system for most people. It tries to lower time preference amongst believers and gives hope to those who need it when all seems lost. I also believe he gives us free will and is not centrally planning everything.

The most most effective way of detecting inflammation in the heart would be through a biopsy, but that's not recommended as a first option for obvious reasons. Biopsies of the placenta looking for spike proteins and inflammation would be a lot easier to do, but I'm unaware of studies. To be fair, I haven't looked into it deeply.
As for less invasive ways to detect inflammation in the body, you could do a hs-CRP (high sensitivity C-reactive protein) test, ideally you'd want a result below 1mg/L, and also an ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate). These are used to detect the presence of general inflammation in the body and can be raised by infections, cancer, autoimmune disease or other factors. You'd be interested in the latter.
To find out if it's the heart that's specifically inflamated, there are cardiac biomarkers you can measure through blood samples in labs; also there's cardiac MRI. I'm just giving out general information for educational purposes, contact your healthcare provider for recommendations.

Unfortunately, I think it's too soon for you to find the answer you're looking for, most studies out there aren't of the best quality, so no conclusions can be made yet. Having said that, here are two interesting articles, one being a "detox" protocol designed by Dr. Peter McCullough, read it and reach your own conclusions. The other article is about a small study where sperm quality decreased after a COVID infection.
I personally am skeptical of everything and simply advise having a healthy lifestyle until more conclusive information is brought out, that's a no brainer.

That's the hardcore way to do it, I did it myself. Nonetheless, I think most people can't handle it and that's why I recommend a slower transition lasting around 6-8 weeks. It feels damn good not to be a slave to food anymore, but I do know that if I'm around bread for too long, I'll eventually eat it. Some addictions never go away completely for some.

You don't own it for eternity if you stop paying taxes on it, so the main difference is that in Singapore it's a lease with a set time limit, and everywhere else it's a lease without a time limit, try not paying your taxes in either system and you can say goodbye to your property no matter how long you've had it.
The big difference though is that Singapore will protect your property rights better than in other cities such as London, Chicago, etc. Nonetheless Singapore didn't just boom because of better protection of property rights but also because of it's looser economic policies and the government not trying to centrally plan absolutely everything. Did they do this? Yes, like every governmemt to different extents, but the intervention here was less than in most other countries. My point being, the more libertarian/free market leaning a geographic area is, the better the economic outcome is, generally.

What I tried to explain was that you can attract productive people to a place in today's day and age. Bukele and San Salvador are also trying to do the same, Argentina might also try by bringing down their socialism meter in order to attract money and brains.
It's easier to attract the big brains than produce them, that's what nations/communities will compete for.

If you're referring to the state owning all the land, then yes, but it's the same case everywhere. Once you've signed your deal with the state, there's pretty robust property right protection laws. Basically, the only thug in town is the Singapore government but they'll let you carry about your economic business and you don't have to worry about other thugs coming in and destroying/stealing everything.
Some governments protect property rights better than others. Those that do it best and allow decent amount of economic freedom tend to boom.

I would also add that it looks like monarchies are good enough at keeping the lower quintile at bay as long as they don't f up. If you take democracy away, it seems you take politics and activism out of the average lay mans mind and leave all the plotting and colluding to the royal family and nobles.

A few random points/opinions:
I think the USA did pretty darn good when they got independence and I doubt everyone had an IQ above 130. Now imagine what can be done with the internet and bitcoin.
Isn't Dubai like 90% foreigners? It's basically a city that was built up in the middle of nowhere, populated by people with different backgrounds from around the world. The low amount of government economic interference and low taxes did wonders to attract them. I believe the world is actually becoming more decentralized and competitive, I see smaller countries forming in the future and that sounds like a spark of hope for the libertarian types. A world full of hundreds of Liechtensteins competing for labor and brainpower, doing what is best to improve their wealth and position in the world. Then everyone copying the methods that work best.
When the high IQ people invent new gadgets that improve quality of life, people adopt them in mass, dumb or smart. I think property rights is another one of these gadgets/tools, but it's a gadget being held back by many governments around the world. Once allowed to be unleashed, the masses will follow, they don't have to understand how it works, only that it works.
So yeah, maybe anarcho capitalism or libertarianism is not possible (for now) but it's a great bar to aim for, history favors those geographic locations that have embraced free markets and property rights to the highest extent. Ultimately, anarcho capitalism doesn't promise utopia, it simply offers the best possible mechanism to mitigate the formation of authoritarian controls upon a population. Bitcoin and the internet allows the productive modern man to vote with his feet and to help shape and foster communities of like minded people around the world.
@npub1uw6…3tay any thoughts? I'd like to hear your take on this.

I don't know why my previous comments went all haywire, anyways, I agree that we need to avoid becoming zealots on both sides, very few people can/will do a 100% version of either diet. From my journey and research into this space though, it seems that meat should be the main food source for humans and is actually sustainable in the long run. Vegans begin having nutritional deficiencies after around 5 years, unless they supplement, which means it's a nutrient deficient diet. So eat veggies and some fruit if you want, but make sure you add plenty of fatty meat to that dish.

This is the way. Also, I don't think the infighting inside the low carb community is productive, the main message should be to eat mainly meat and avoid all the processed junk. The main focus then should be to educate against all the vegan propaganda, one of the best ways is leading by example.
