In one of my fasting articles – which will continue until the fast is over and beyond, because I think it’s important and I care nothing if you disagree – I mentioned that I have “prostate and liver problems and crippling depression.” I wanted to follow up on that a bit, just to clarify that I am not having some kind of health crisis, as the statements could suggest without context.
It must be understood that this is relative. I have been a health psychopath for my entire life.
You merely adopted health psychopathy. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t eat seed oil until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but a plasticy taste!
I’m weighing these problems against my baseline, which is so much higher than the average American’s as to be completely sickening. During the coronavirus hoax, my health deteriorated some, due to the general status of the situation, as well as less healthy food and increased alcohol consumption.
I also developed a premature prostate problem, about a decade too early, with an unclear origin, which is a unique problem. It was originally told to me that it was bacterial, not an STD but some kind of bacteria which apparently can just appear, and I took the antibiotics and never tested positive for bacteria again, but had some lingering enlargement and though I never had to urinate more than usual, or had pain during urination, the urine stream was not as strong as it should have been for my age. I did a lot of reading, and developed a dietary and vitamin routine that more or less completely solved the problem, but though I haven’t had it tested again, I have felt my urine stream strength is not what it should be.
As regards the liver, when having my prostate examined with an ultrasound, they said I had slight liver fat, again not especially concerning, but early for my age and certainly irregular for someone with my body fat ratio. So, that was presumably the alcohol, which I’ve cut back on significantly (but refuse to abstain from, because I am not a cocksucking faggot). Any average American would have a much fattier liver than mine, even if they are a teetotaler, just because the average American is so fat they have fat in all of their organs (including their brains, by the way, which inhibits basic cognitive function). It’s likely that I’ve cut back on the drinking enough already that if I went and had another ultrasound it would be gone, but ultrasounds are sort of expensive and it made sense to do this along with bloodwork and other things after completing a serious fast.
In terms of “crippling depression,” that is a bit tongue in cheek.
I assume anyone who reads my work is aware that I’m an atypical personality, and that leads to all sorts of mental processes that are clearly not normal. I hesitate to go into that too much, because I wouldn’t want anyone to get the impression that I am claiming to be special. Though I would never call my grandmother a liar, it is an objective reality that I am categorically not special. I’m significantly more intelligent than the average person, though not a genius. I know my IQ, I’ve been professionally tested four times, I’m not going to post it for hopefully obvious reasons, and I’ve had conversations with a lot of people, and it’s a fact I can say with the greatest modesty that I am significantly smarter than the average person.
I’m unsure how well I’ve used that intelligence, and that will probably be left for others to decide after I’m dead. I will at least be remembered, which is more than can be said for someone on Wall Street with a similar level of intelligence who decided to deploy it more strategically.
The significantly above average intelligence is probably a prerequisite for having an atypical personality type. One would probably assume that. The average man is primarily concerned about sex, food, comfort, and social harmony, with only minimal curiosity about anything beyond these things. I would never want to disparage the quiet honor of the peasantry. Of course, I would and do do that. But it’s not because I want to, but rather because it is necessary to do so in order to understand the nature of reality. But I want to note that while sex, food, and comfort are base drives possessed by any animal, the peasantry has a more complex desire for social harmony than other mammals, and this can, under certain circumstances, lead to behavior which can appear noble, including opposition to injustice and perversion, which, if things are going awesomely, can lead to large scale violence.
I have a lot of comments on the way the left romanticizes the peasants while having zero understanding of them. I would actually say that beyond romanticizing them, they actually fetishize them. It’s an interesting psychological disorder. Now that brown people are the global proletariat, you have “queers for Islamic immigration,” which is more facially absurd, but frankly, it was not less ridiculous in the 18th century when wealthy lawyers were calling for Liberté, égalité, fraternité. The sad reality is that peasants deserve human dignity, justice, and nothing much else. But if you can incite them to mass violence, it is hilarious and highly profitable.
If you have curiosity about the nature of the universe, and specifically the nature, origin, and purpose of human existence, there is nowhere that can go other than into the darkness. I think that’s a pretty important observation that deserves some amount of reflection, and I would challenge anyone to challenge it.
I would actually go much further, or at least somewhat further (it’s also possible that this is just an observation that follows naturally) and say that the academy’s obsession with this cartoonish atheistic materialist framework is a psychological defense mechanism, which allows people with the intelligence needed to be curious to avoid confronting the darkness. Ironically, it’s exactly what they accuse religious people of doing, and this seems as though it should be painfully obvious to anyone.
“Well, you see, it’s all very simple. First, nothing existed. Then for some reason there was a gigantic explosion which created all matter. And then, there was an ooze, and for some reason single-celled organisms created themselves in the ooze, and then for some reason they transformed into fish, and then into monkeys, and finally into humans. We die and then just stop existing because consciousness is a function of matter somehow. There is no need to ask any further questions.”
This is so clearly a fairy tale created by men who are scared, like children, to actually start peeling back the layers of what exactly is going on here in so-called reality. Because if you start to peel that back, you are necessarily going to enter into a darkness, and it is a Herculean task to keep that darkness from swallowing you whole. This is why all men with anything interesting to say either died of alcoholism/drug abuse or suicide or became mystics.
I would like to become a mystic. I would like to be able to see the light better than I can right now. And I want to work to be able to do that. I do believe in a God of light, who is pure and good, but down here in this pit of the material world, a world of darkness, we are so very, very far away from His light. And the fact is, while alive, we are only ever going to see glimpses of this light, in the woods, in art, in our children and dogs. And, hopefully, somewhere inside of ourselves.
I have only slightly more respect for Jean-Paul Sartre than I have for William Faulkner, but No Exit is worth reading.
So, no, generally, things have not been particularly cheery for me. It’s been that way since I was a little kid, however. It’s been more acute at various points; probably, it is relatively acute these days. (Though it should be noted, this could be partially or entirely due to reducing my alcohol intake. Perhaps “midlife crisis” simply means “facing the impossible decision of drinking less alcohol or allowing your health to deteriorate.”) This is another thing that is difficult to state, because it sounds whiny (I did write about it quite a bit during the 2023 Illness Revelations and published some significant parts of those particular materials). But I think it’s relevant here, as it relates to the issue of fasting and spiritual development in general. That said, just to be clear, I do not have “clinical depression,” nor do I believe in the concept. Further, whatever war is going on inside my own head, it is by definition not “crippling,” as I am fully capable of carrying out all requisite life functions.
These are just some things I wanted to clarify to the reader. If you would prefer pointless political commentary, I would advise you to either stop reading, or kill yourself. This is my website, and I’m going to write whatever I want to write. And I think probably, reflections on health and spirituality provide much more of a service to society than informing you about the 327,892nd Gaza child the Jews killed or the latest tranny debacle.
We are alive, for some reason, and we are conscious of this life, and of ourselves, and it seems to me that it is of primary importance to attempt to understand the meaning of this. Prayer and fasting appear quite clearly to be requisite aspects of this process.
Every day you need to remind yourself that you are going to die. I would recommend doing it more than once per day, frankly.
It’s in the rosary: “Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.”
Something is going to happen when you die.

Scientific materialism is childishly ignorant but as a metaphysic it’s pretty damn stern compared to the fluffy horseshit of christianity or any other religion promising a comfy afterlife. Can’t fault ’em though. The truth — if you’ve learned and seen enough to have really thought this over — is probably the sort of nightmare shit alluded to by nick land that even the most detached, egoless mystic would regret to discover and make the materialist cessation-of-consciousness at death seem desirable.
We’re missing a lot of news since Anglin gave up his commentating on it. His hero Duterte has been arrested by the ICC for crimes against humanity for killing those thousands of drug addicts.

Chat, a friend developed fatty liver and a mildly enlarged prostate at the age of 30+ White male, Irish origin. What number of factors, from alcohol, to diet, to lifestyle, to emotional stress, to bacterial infections, may have brought this about?
##
ChatGPT:
There are multiple factors—metabolic, lifestyle-related, infectious, and even psychological—that could contribute to both fatty liver and a mildly enlarged prostate in a 30+ Irish male. Here’s a breakdown of the potential causes:
1. Alcohol Consumption
Given Irish genetic predisposition to alcohol metabolism issues, even moderate drinking can accelerate fatty liver disease (Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease – AFLD).
Chronic alcohol use leads to liver fat accumulation, inflammation, and possibly fibrosis over time.
Ethanol metabolism generates acetaldehyde, a toxic compound that damages liver cells.
2. Diet & Metabolism
High sugar & refined carb intake: Diets rich in processed foods, fructose (soda, sweets), and refined grains can lead to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD).
Obesity & metabolic syndrome: Fatty liver is tightly linked to insulin resistance, excess visceral fat, and prediabetes.
Low-fiber diet: Poor gut health can increase liver inflammation.
3. Lifestyle Factors
Sedentary behavior: Lack of exercise leads to fat buildup in the liver and worsens prostate health.
Poor sleep: Disrupts hormone balance and contributes to metabolic issues.
4. Emotional & Psychological Stress
Chronic stress increases cortisol, which can worsen fat accumulation in the liver.
Stress also leads to poor dietary choices, binge drinking, and hormonal imbalance.
5. Hormonal & Genetic Factors
Low testosterone levels (often linked to stress, obesity, and liver dysfunction) can contribute to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
Celtic genome predisposition: Certain Irish genetic markers may increase vulnerability to metabolic dysfunction and alcohol-related liver issues.
6. Gut Microbiome & Bacterial Infections
H. pylori infection has been linked to metabolic dysfunction and fatty liver.
Dysbiosis (imbalance in gut bacteria) can lead to inflammation, affecting both the liver and prostate.
7. Chronic Low-Grade Inflammation
Liver fat, obesity, and gut issues all increase systemic inflammation, which can affect prostate health as well.
Would you like to narrow this down based on any additional details about your friend’s habits or health history?
##
Thanks, chat. Pls delve deeper into the irish genetic disposition, low fiber diet, poor sleep habits, dysbiosis, and hormonal balance. Include the possible effects of regular alcohol consumption on the above, as well as regular emotional states of either rage or despair.
ChatGPT:
You’re welcome! Let’s break this down in depth, considering how Irish genetic disposition, low fiber diet, poor sleep habits, dysbiosis, and hormonal balance interact, especially under regular alcohol consumption and emotional states of rage or despair.
1. Irish Genetic Disposition & Its Impact on Liver and Prostate Health
Ireland has a unique genetic landscape due to historical dietary patterns (low in fiber, high in dairy and alcohol), selective pressures, and the impact of famine. Key genetic vulnerabilities include:
A. Alcohol Metabolism & Liver Vulnerability
ADH1B & ALDH2 genes: Some Irish populations metabolize alcohol less efficiently, leading to prolonged acetaldehyde exposure, which causes liver cell damage, oxidative stress, and fatty deposits.
Higher rates of Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (AFLD) and progression to cirrhosis compared to other European populations.
PNPLA3 & TM6SF2 mutations: Linked to greater susceptibility to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) even in non-drinkers, but alcohol accelerates damage.
B. Testosterone & Prostate Growth
Some Irish populations have a genetic predisposition to lower Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG), leading to higher free testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT), both of which fuel prostate enlargement (BPH).
If combined with chronic inflammation (from poor diet, gut dysbiosis, or alcohol), prostate tissue may become more sensitive to hormonal shifts, worsening symptoms.
2. Low Fiber Diet & Its Consequences
Traditional Irish diets were often low in plant-based fiber (historically, more potatoes, dairy, and meat) and modern processed diets worsen this issue. A low-fiber diet can exacerbate both fatty liver disease and prostate issues in several ways:
A. Liver Impact
Reduced gut-liver axis protection: Fiber feeds good bacteria, reducing endotoxins that contribute to liver inflammation.
Increased insulin resistance: Low fiber leads to unstable blood sugar levels, making the liver store excess fat.
B. Prostate Impact
Higher estrogen levels: Fiber helps remove excess estrogen; low fiber diets can cause hormonal imbalances, fueling prostate growth.
Constipation & prostate pressure: Chronic low fiber intake leads to gut stagnation, putting physical pressure on the prostate.
Alcohol’s Role Here
Alcohol depletes gut bacteria that digest fiber, further worsening the liver and gut health cycle.
Irritates gut lining, increasing leaky gut syndrome, where bacteria enter the bloodstream and trigger liver inflammation and prostate irritation.
3. Poor Sleep Habits & Systemic Damage
Chronic poor sleep (whether due to stress, alcohol, or lifestyle) wreaks havoc on liver, prostate, and hormonal balance:
A. Liver Dysfunction
Sleep deprivation lowers melatonin, which acts as an antioxidant in the liver, protecting against fatty buildup.
Circadian rhythm disruption (from late nights, shift work, or alcohol) impairs the liver’s ability to break down fats overnight, accelerating fatty liver progression.
B. Prostate Dysfunction
Poor sleep raises cortisol, reducing testosterone, worsening hormonal imbalances that can enlarge the prostate.
Sleep disruption can cause chronic inflammation, a key factor in prostatitis and BPH.
Alcohol’s Role Here
Disrupts REM sleep: Even moderate alcohol consumption can reduce deep sleep quality, affecting testosterone balance.
Increases nighttime urination (nocturia): Alcohol is a diuretic, worsening prostate-related urinary symptoms.
4. Gut Dysbiosis (Imbalance in Gut Bacteria)
Gut health is directly linked to both liver and prostate health, and dysbiosis (bad bacteria overgrowth) is common in those who consume alcohol regularly or have a low-fiber diet.
A. Liver Impact
Dysbiosis increases endotoxins, which travel to the liver via the gut-liver axis, causing chronic inflammation and fatty liver.
Bacterial imbalance leads to higher triglycerides, worsening insulin resistance and fat accumulation.
B. Prostate Impact
Gut bacteria help metabolize hormones—dysbiosis can increase estrogen and DHT, accelerating prostate growth.
Imbalance in gut flora can contribute to chronic pelvic inflammation, leading to prostatitis or BPH symptoms.
Alcohol’s Role Here
Kills good bacteria, allowing overgrowth of bad strains that produce inflammatory byproducts.
Increases intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”), letting bacteria enter circulation, triggering liver and prostate inflammation.
5. Hormonal Imbalance & Prostate Enlargement
Hormones govern both fat accumulation in the liver and prostate enlargement. Alcohol and stress destabilize this system.
A. Liver’s Role in Hormonal Balance
Liver regulates estrogen clearance—fatty liver leads to estrogen buildup, which contributes to prostate growth and metabolic dysfunction.
Excess estrogen suppresses testosterone, worsening fat accumulation and prostate issues.
B. Chronic Stress (Rage/Despair)
Cortisol dominance: Chronic stress leads to high cortisol, which:
Stores more fat in the liver
Inhibits testosterone production, worsening prostate enlargement
Lowers immune function, making the liver and prostate more vulnerable to infections
Testosterone & Emotional Instability:
Rage states: High DHT/testosterone levels with poor clearance by the liver may lead to aggression and impulsivity.
Despair states: Chronic inflammation and low testosterone may trigger depressive states, fatigue, and cognitive fog.
Alcohol’s Role Here
Directly reduces testosterone by disrupting liver function and increasing estrogen dominance.
Amplifies mood swings, pushing emotional states from rage to despair, worsening cortisol spikes.
Conclusion
This situation appears to be a vicious cycle where genetic predisposition, diet, lifestyle, and emotions all feed into one another:
Irish genetic predisposition increases sensitivity to alcohol, fatty liver, and hormone imbalances.
Low fiber diet worsens gut health, estrogen balance, and liver detox.
Poor sleep reduces liver repair, increases stress, and disrupts prostate regulation.
Gut dysbiosis leads to systemic inflammation, prostate irritation, and further liver damage.
Emotional states of rage/despair spike cortisol, which worsens everything.
Alcohol acts as an accelerant, worsening liver fat, gut damage, prostate growth, and emotional volatility.
Would you like to focus on possible interventions for your friend—nutritional, lifestyle, or psychological?

Thanks chat. Let’s wrap this up by focusing on chronic inflammation and ways of calming it down and managing it properly, or rebooting the system.
ChatGPT:
You’re welcome! Chronic inflammation is the underlying issue connecting fatty liver, prostate enlargement, gut dysbiosis, hormonal imbalance, and emotional dysregulation. The key to calming it down, managing it properly, and rebooting the system is a multi-pronged approach that targets diet, lifestyle, gut health, and emotional balance.
1. Dietary Strategies to Reduce Inflammation & Support Liver Detox
A. Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Omega-3 fatty acids (wild-caught fish, walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds): Counteracts the inflammatory omega-6 overload from processed foods.
Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower): Detox the liver and lower estrogen.
Turmeric & ginger: Block inflammatory pathways and protect the liver.
Fermented foods (sauerkraut, kimchi, kefir, yogurt, miso): Restore gut flora balance and reduce systemic inflammation.
Berries & dark-colored fruits (blueberries, blackberries, cherries, pomegranates): Reduce oxidative stress and protect liver/prostate.
High-fiber whole foods (beans, lentils, whole grains, leafy greens): Help bind and remove excess estrogen and toxins.
B. Foods to Avoid
Refined carbs & sugar (white bread, pasta, soda): Feed bad gut bacteria, spike insulin, worsen liver fat.
Seed oils & trans fats (soybean, canola, sunflower oil, processed snacks): Increase omega-6 imbalance, driving inflammation.
Excess red meat & dairy: Can contribute to prostate growth if overconsumed, especially in low-fiber diets.
C. Alcohol Detox & Reset
First, a 4-week alcohol break to allow the liver and gut to reset.
If resuming, limit to 1–2 drinks per week, sticking to red wine for its anti-inflammatory polyphenols.
2. Gut Microbiome Repair to Shut Down Chronic Inflammation
Prebiotic fiber (garlic, onions, asparagus, bananas, leeks): Feeds good bacteria.
Probiotics (fermented foods, high-quality supplements): Rebuilds the gut barrier.
Bone broth & collagen peptides: Heal gut lining and prevent leaky gut syndrome.
Digestive enzymes & bitters: Improve nutrient absorption, reduce bloating, and help the liver process fats.
3. Hormonal & Prostate Reset
A. Restore Testosterone & Reduce Estrogen
Zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, oysters, beef) boost testosterone production.
DIM (Diindolylmethane) supplements from cruciferous vegetables help the liver clear excess estrogen.
Ashwagandha or Rhodiola: Adaptogens that balance cortisol and restore testosterone levels.
B. Prostate-Specific Strategies
Saw Palmetto & Beta-Sitosterol: Block DHT, reducing prostate enlargement.
Pygeum (African Plum Extract): Lowers prostate inflammation and improves urination.
Lycopene (Tomatoes, Watermelon): Protects the prostate from oxidative damage.
4. Lifestyle Shifts to Reset the System
A. Sleep as an Inflammation Reset
7–9 hours of deep sleep per night is critical for liver and prostate repair.
Magnesium glycinate before bed calms the nervous system and promotes deep sleep.
Morning sunlight exposure resets the circadian rhythm, stabilizing cortisol and testosterone.
B. Physical Activity to Burn Inflammation
Strength training (3x per week) increases testosterone, insulin sensitivity, and reduces fat accumulation in the liver.
Low-intensity movement (daily walks, yoga, stretching) prevents systemic inflammation buildup.
Cold exposure (cold showers, ice baths) reduces systemic inflammation and cortisol levels.
5. Emotional & Psychological Rebalancing
Chronic rage or despair states create a flood of cortisol, worsening fatty liver, prostate inflammation, and gut dysbiosis. Managing emotional states is as important as diet and exercise.
A. Stress Reduction Practices
Breathwork (Wim Hof or box breathing): Rapidly lowers inflammation and calms the nervous system.
Meditation & mindfulness (10 min/day): Lowers cortisol, reducing liver fat storage.
Journaling or therapy (CBT, psychoanalysis, or expressive writing): Helps process unresolved emotional states driving rage/despair cycles.
Social connection & purpose-driven activities: Reduces stress-induced inflammation and rewires emotional regulation.
B. Dopamine & Mood Reset
Limit social media/digital stimulation: Reduces dopamine burnout and cortisol spikes.
Expose yourself to novel experiences (new hobbies, travel, learning): Shifts brain chemistry out of chronic stress loops.
Infrared sauna or heat therapy: Increases endorphins and detoxes the body.
6. Supplement Protocol for Systemic Reboot
Turmeric + Black Pepper (Anti-inflammatory, protects liver)
Milk Thistle (Liver detox support)
Berberine (Balances blood sugar, reduces liver fat)
Magnesium Glycinate (Sleep & cortisol control)
Zinc + DIM (Testosterone balance & estrogen detox)
Probiotic + Prebiotic combo (Gut healing)
Omega-3 Fish Oil (Lowers inflammation, protects heart & liver)
Final Thoughts: The “Reboot Strategy”
To reset inflammation, reboot metabolism, and restore mental balance, I’d suggest a 30- to 90-day protocol:
Cut alcohol for 4 weeks (minimum) to let the liver and gut repair.
Increase fiber & anti-inflammatory foods while eliminating processed foods.
Rebuild gut bacteria with probiotics, prebiotics, and fermented foods.
Fix sleep & stress management to lower cortisol and balance hormones.
Optimize exercise, testosterone, and prostate health through targeted lifestyle shifts.
Use supplements wisely to support liver, prostate, and systemic health.
This multi-system approach is not just about treating symptoms but about reversing chronic inflammation at its root cause.
Now for some metaphysics and the human condition, chat. Let’s combine three elements:[MORE]
a) arthur schopenhauer’s world as representation reinterpreted into modern language in the sense of humanity (and all species) being trapped in its sensory bubble, unable to sense or grasp what may exist in the potential reality beyond, aside from the occasional mystic revelation;
b) a paragraph or two on the criticism that spirituality tends to be humans projecting their psychological inner structures onto the external world, pls point out a few obvious examples of regular projection that do not mean that the external object isn’t real; like if a client keeps projecting onto their therapist this does not make the therapist less real; thus the act of projection in itself proves nothing about the potential existence or nonexistence of an invisible spiritual world;
c) then an examination of how spiritual journeys and honest intellectual seeking for fundamental answers almost always leads into darkness and dread, but how these negative feeling may be interpreted as simply defense mechanisms of the mental perimeter, both social programming mechanisms that try to keep the individual’s internal world synchronized with the prevalent system, and individual mechanisms through which the ego may be trying to defend itself from big changes which to it may seem as ego death, death of itself, and also more broadly the body itself trying to maintain an equilibrium that may be upended by intense mental and emotional states achieved if one ventures too close to the mental perimeter.
Pls end with a summary how exploring the mental perimeter and beyond may be done in more gradual, non-traumatic ways, combined with maintaining a non-inflammatory lifestyle, and how the very concept of infinite possibilities beyond the mortal sensory bubble can be used as a source of hope and faith to counter the darkness at the mental perimeter.
##
ChatGPT: Here’s something that brings together Schopenhauer, psychological projection, and the nature of spiritual seeking in a way that respects both intellectual rigor and the existential weight of the journey.
________________________________________
The Sensory Bubble and the Limits of Perception
Arthur Schopenhauer’s The World as Will and Representation argued that we do not perceive the world as it is but only as it appears to us through the filters of our senses and cognition. This idea, extended into modern terms, suggests that all of life is trapped within its own sensory bubble—what ethologists call the Umwelt. A bat navigates through echolocation, a bee perceives ultraviolet light, and a human constructs reality through vision, sound, and the abstractions of thought. But what lies beyond?
We assume a deeper reality exists—one that is neither sound nor sight, neither thought nor feeling. Schopenhauer suggested that behind this veil of representation, there is a raw, unknowable force—the Will—that drives existence. Modern neuroscience echoes this, suggesting that our brains do not “see reality” but construct a useful model for survival. This means that, much like a prisoner in a soundproofed, windowless cell, we are forced to interpret shadows cast upon the walls of our minds and call it “the world.”
The rare exception to this prison of perception seems to come from mystical revelation—moments of intuition, deep meditation, or altered consciousness where the rigid walls of the sensory bubble seem to ripple. Throughout history, figures have emerged claiming to have “seen” beyond the construct—Buddha, Plotinus, Meister Eckhart, and others. Yet, they often struggle to communicate what they perceive, as human language is built from the sensory-limited world.
________________________________________
Projection, Spirituality, and the Problem of the Mirror
One of the most common criticisms of spirituality is that it is human projection onto the external world—a mirroring of our psychological structures. The idea is simple: just as a child projects their fears onto the dark or a client projects their unresolved issues onto a therapist, so too does mankind project its hopes, fears, and moral struggles onto the cosmos, constructing gods, demons, and spiritual hierarchies in its own image.
And yet, projection does not disprove the existence of what is projected onto. If a person perpetually projects parental authority onto their boss, this does not mean their boss does not exist. If someone in therapy constantly imposes their insecurities onto their therapist, it does not make the therapist a figment of the imagination. Similarly, even if humanity projects order, meaning, and spiritual hierarchies onto the cosmos, this does not prove or disprove their existence—it only suggests that we cannot disentangle what is “out there” from what arises from within.
Examples of projection in spirituality abound:
• The anthropomorphic gods of antiquity, mirroring human emotions, power struggles, and virtues.
• The New Age belief in “manifestation”, reflecting the psychological concept that focus and belief shape perception.
• The notion of karma, mirroring the internal moral calculus of guilt and retribution.
But does this mean there is nothing beyond projection? The real question is whether we project onto something, or into a void. Projection is an unavoidable mechanism of cognition; the problem is not that it exists but that we must carefully separate subjective imposition from potential signals breaking through the noise.
________________________________________
Spiritual Seeking and the Perimeter of Darkness
There is a reason why deep spiritual or intellectual seeking almost always leads into darkness and dread before it offers any clarity. At the mental perimeter—the edges of our constructed reality—the mind begins to resist. Fear, despair, and existential panic often arise not because the seeker has encountered true oblivion, but because the ego, the body, and the social mind resist deep change.
1. Social Programming Mechanisms:
Society functions by keeping individuals within a stable conceptual framework. Religion, culture, philosophy, and science each provide an architecture that allows people to move forward without falling into existential paralysis. When one challenges the boundaries of this framework—whether through radical philosophical thought, mystical experience, or deep psychological exploration—cognitive dissonance emerges. Society has built-in defense mechanisms to prevent individuals from detaching too far from the collective mindset.
2. Egoic Self-Preservation:
The ego—the mental construct of self—operates under the assumption that it is real and permanent. But deep existential questioning threatens this assumption. Just as a physical body resists illness or injury, the mind resists anything that suggests its dissolution. This resistance often manifests as terror, nihilism, depression, or meaninglessness.
3. The Biological Need for Homeostasis:
The body, too, seeks stability. Intense emotional and intellectual states—whether through meditation, psychedelics, prolonged philosophical contemplation, or religious experience—can disrupt the nervous system, neurotransmitter balance, and sense of identity. The sensation of existential dread may not be an indication of actual cosmic horror but a biological mechanism attempting to restore equilibrium.
Thus, the “darkness” encountered at the edge of deep seeking may not be the truth of the cosmos but the defense systems of the mind trying to stop the seeker from proceeding further. The fear is not proof that there is nothing; it is proof that crossing the mental perimeter is difficult and resisted by multiple forces.
________________________________________
Gradual Exploration Beyond the Sensory Bubble
Instead of forcing a traumatic rupture with old ways of perceiving reality, a more gradual, sustainable approach can be taken:
1. Intellectual Expansion Without Ego Shock
o Engage with radical ideas while grounding oneself in daily life to maintain balance.
o Read and contemplate existential topics in small doses rather than seeking immediate total understanding.
o Accept that uncertainty is the natural state beyond the mental perimeter.
2. Non-Inflammatory Living to Support Perceptual Stability
o Maintain a healthy nervous system through sleep, diet, and exercise to avoid physiological panic responses.
o Avoid excessive dopamine-seeking behaviors (stimulation, social media, constant distraction) that weaken introspective endurance.
o Use meditation, breathing exercises, and contemplative walks to ease the mind into deeper perception without force.
3. Transforming the Fear of the Unknown into a Source of Strength
o Instead of seeing the sensory prison as a limitation, it can be reinterpreted as a starting point—a launching pad for curiosity.
o Accept that infinite possibilities beyond the mortal sensory bubble can be seen as a source of faith, wonder, and meaning.
o Recognize that faith is not the absence of doubt, but the willingness to move forward despite it.
________________________________________
Final Thoughts: Embracing the Mystery Without Breaking the Mind
To explore what lies beyond our sensory and cognitive limits is to walk a thin line between revelation and madness, between insight and despair. But by moving gradually, maintaining physical and emotional stability, and embracing the unknown as a source of inspiration rather than dread, one can move beyond the mental perimeter without succumbing to it.
The fact that we cannot see beyond the sensory bubble does not mean there is nothing there—only that our tools for perception are limited. And rather than this being a source of terror, it can be a reason for awe and perseverance. The mystery remains, and in that mystery lies both the fear of the abyss and the hope that something greater awaits beyond it.
I find that people who talk about their intelligence or volunteer their accomplishments are usually insecure midwits.

There is also a lot of the typical Anglo self-importance.. don’t you hate yourself, even a little bit, for being so full of pathos (pathetic)?

I love EMJ but I was listening to an interview with he and Kevin Barrett. One a Catholic one a Muslim and the theological argument struck me as so ridiculous.

It’s all relative. The two most relevant truths to me are infinity and relativity. No matter how smart or powerful someone is, there is always someone or something smarter and more powerful. What is limited is our ability to see and understand things. We only recently became aware of the role of bacteria in our guts. Trillions of micro-organisms live and die solely to help us process our food. They probably have no conception of their role and cared little about this Anglin person until he decided to genocide them by fasting. On the other hand we only recently learned about CRISPR gene editing, and we learned it by studying bacteria. They have been splicing genes from viruses and modifying their own genetic structures for millions of years, something we consider ourselves very intelligent for discovering. I don’t know about you guys, but knowing this, every time I take a crap I feel like a god.
It may be that our existence is just as trivial and banal. Maybe we have been bred by space aliens to harvest our DNA. Maybe Mother Gaia created us because she wanted us to burn up all that disgusting oil. Maybe God is a wargamer and he’s resetting the board for a new game. Whatever it is remember: “to the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world.”

If we KNEW then we wouldn’t call it FAITH, right? You are conflating two separate categories.
Yet faith isn’t BLIND, but grounded in our own experience – provided that you are open to this experience, and not BLINDLY following the rationalist/scientific/modernist fairy tale.

“Thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star,” Francis Thompson. A poet who had come from an upbringing of opportunity, but later in life experienced the challenges, burdens, hurdles of being unhoused, addiction, and suicidal thinking. Eventually, an unknown female sex worker provided Thompson a safe keep in which he would change course to return to writing and poetry. His life was finally claimed by the opportunistic bacterium known as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB). In the continuum of the known universe, emergence cannot be explained. His lived experiences and writings are an example of this phenomenon emergence.

1. Instead of being satisfied with a sonogram, have an MRI (yes, it’s expensive) taken through your abdomen at the navel line. This will show the amount of visceral fat you have. See Dr. Sean O’Mara for more on this.

Helicobacter pylori is always present in the microbiome, as are Streptococcus and other ‘bad’ bacteria. As soon as the composition of the microbiome is disturbed, some bacterial strains develop more strongly or are overgrown by yeasts. For a long time, this development/overgrowth was thought to be the cause of diseases, in reality they only make the disease visible. A strong immune system protects against imbalances in the microbiome, but unfortunately drugs such as antibiotics and vaccines cause lasting damage to it. The new mRNA vaccines primarily attack the microbiome, which sooner or later leads to serious damage, if not death.

You might want to read “Science and Health With Key to the Scriptures”, By Mary Baker Eddy sometime.
The scientific statement of being:
“There is no life, truth, intelligence, nor substance in matter. All is infinite Mind and its infinite manifestation, for God is All-in-all. Spirit is immortal Truth; matter is mortal error. Spirit is the real and eternal; matter is the unreal and temporal. Spirit is God, and man is His image and likeness. Therefore man is not material; he is spiritual.”

Ok, let me get this straight. You have been a smoker and drinker for most of your adult life and then you try and claim that you are healthier than 99 per cent of most people? Sorry but it took me about ten minutes to stop laughing. People that smoke are always in denial. It helps them cope with the fact that they are engaging in self destructive behavior that is going to eventually kill them.

I only know Catholicism, but my take is this:
The primary theme of the Gospels is moderation. Moderation in all things. The Aristotle influence is clear.
Mostly moderation means Mercy (in the wide Christian sense). Be lenient in the application of God’s law. Don’t be a fundamentalist, but at the same time don’t be an atheist jew. This balance is plainly difficult because it requires sincerity and effort.
This also means moderation in the use of Reason itself. Reason has limits. Jews can literally argue anything and make it logically consistent. Your reason must be moderated with good sense and faith.
The existence of God can be logically proven, and (by a dishonest actor) logically disproven. Thus the application of reason should moderated by good sense and faith.

Thanks so much!
Thank you for the reply, EMJ is the only catholic apologist whom I can even listen to because he has some spark. I try to find faith but it’s a difficult search.
Get your point, have usually the same reaction when listening to religious conversations (like EMJ and Co), there is something so unbelievably atavistic about those in my experience…
While to everyone his/her own of course I personally have a very hard time getting why “spiritual” discussions are usually divided in -and limited to the camps of “religion” and “(materialistic) science”, both being nothing but their antagonistic mirrors and just as equally characterized by impracticality and mentally locked fanaticism.
And most importantly both have nothing to do with real science, which simply means the rigorous objective study of anything there is. To exclude consciousness itself and human experience from that method as materialists do is just as risible as religious fanatics rejecting scientific rigor.
I seem to remember that Andrew mentioned being familiar with the works of scientists (in the true meaning) like Rupert Sheldrake and maybe thereby Dean Radin and the (Edgar Mitchell-founded) Institute of Noetic Sciences:
https://noetic.org/
And there are many others out there studying scientifically and practically all those “spiritual” areas (Near-Death/Post-Death/ Re-incarnation/OBE/Mediumship/Consciousness etc….) in question:
Winbridge Institute:
https://www.windbridge.org/about-us/beischel/
International Association for Near Death Studies:
https://iands.org/about/
The Monroe Institute:
https://www.monroeinstitute.org/
William Buhlman`s site:
https://astralinfo.org/
Etc, etc….
Why there is so much purely theoretical religious/metaphysical discussion (or fanatical negation thereof) out there, when the possibility of exploring it scientifically and through personal experience is all around I do have a hard time getting I must admit?
It is always about mind controlling the peasants. The masses can be dangerous or useful.
The 1% have been winning at this game successfully propagandizing the 98% for ages. They appeal to the peasantry emotions.
We represent the other 1%, the logical thinking peasants.
To win this game, we must take the minds of the peasants and bring them over to our side.
Like Anglin says – he doesn’t reach new audiences.
I say – high impact (referenced) short one issue paper flyers distributed directly and persistently to the peasantry could slowly reverse the tide.
That is why this website should contain a solutions section. We should be think tanking strategies and polishing said flyers, making them perfect – both logical and emotional.

Anyway, Andrew, one: for your too early prostate begnin enlargment issue: did you have a t least 20+ ejaculations per month?
Because, and it’s never too late, if you do you will reduce your chances to get prostate enlargement and other diseases on this essential organ. An abundant sexual life is tantamount to aovid prostate problems and if you don’t have the partner at hand, you still have two hands.
Regarding the “relative” “creeping depression”. It is either depression, mild depression or creeping depression. And crippling doesn’t look like ‘relative” or “usual” but like serious stuff.
And I can tell seeing some of the memes you posted that depression there is.
Just saying.
Alcohol ad but of fake are ok if you have intense sexual activity, it will then make you exercize, strenghten your prostate and make you feel good, then drink less to reach the same state.
Find the right girl(s) though.

If someone is expecting to drink a fair bit of alcohol at some social occasion, you can first take a supplement called LIVER-X made by MRM. Apparently it works great to prevent hangovers (a symptom of an irritated liver).
On the other hand, you could get a job doing hard, necessary, useful physical labor at least 8 hours a day.
We shouldn’t ignore or underestimate the importance of Putin’s cammies today.

Regarding liver health, some supplements really do help. Most helpful at top.
1. NAC N-Acetyl Cystine This is the rate limiting raw material for endogenous anti-oxidant glutathione, which is essential for liver health. Victims of Tylenol liver poisoning get this intravenously mainlined in the emergency room.
2. Taurine. Another amino acid that helps suppress fatty liver.
3. Glycine. Another amino acid component of Glutathione. Not as rate limiting but still helpful to supplement. Glycine is sweet so can serve as a much healthier substitute for sugar. Can also take with Magnesium as the supplement Magnesium Glycinate.
4. Keep Iron levels low. Middle aged men have way too much iron due to ubiquitous “fortification”. Donate blood to keep levels down.

That is why some of the greatest minds who ever lived— Fermat, Pascal, Descartes, Cauchy, et al.— died as faithful Catholics. That is why two of the greatest minds of the 20th century— Ludwig Wittgenstein and John von Neumann— both asked to speak to a Catholic priest on their deathbed. That is why Bobby Fischer said at the end of his life, “The only hope for the world is through Catholicism.” Fischer had a Catholic burial. That is why three great Oxford logicians of the 20th century— Peter Geach, C.J.F. Williams, and Wykemam Professor of Logic, Michael Dummett— were all Catholic converts and remained devout till death.

Sulu to Spock:
I’m afraid your illogical human half is showing through. People that turn out to be trannies are indeed born that way because they have mental illness. They were born with it and we can debate the actual physical mechanism that leads to being a tranny but the truth of the matter (no pun intended) is unknown.
On a little side note, about 50 years ago, I was the ripe old age of 18 and away to college before I met my first gay person. I remember thinking, “Gee this guy is a faggot and he admits he’s a faggot.” After getting to know the guy I realized he was intelligent and not really a bad person so we became friends. I remember he told me that it was considered common knowledge in the gay community that you should never go out with a guy that wears a dress. I already had it figured that I had no desire whatsoever to go out with any guy, dress or no dress but I did ask him why. His answer was revealing. His reply to me was, “Because those people are crazy.” Now here was a guy that I thought was border line crazy because he was gay and yet he recognized that Trannies were the craziest of the lot. It was a lesson that stuck with me.

If I may paraphrase Twain: “Killing all the Jews might not solve all the World’s problems but it would be a hell of a lot of fun and couldn’t possible do any harm to anyone.”
I have to think that nuking Israel would certainly put a dent in Jewish power Worldwide and would overall be a good thing. The bad news would be it would likely only happen if we blundered into WWIII and any Jewish survivors would probably make it to America and then the Jews would demand we give them their own state. Which would probably shortly thereafter succeed from the union and declare itself to be the New Israel.
The Jews really do seem to me to be analogous to rats. They are parasites that live off of the labor of everyone else. They spread destruction, theft, and shit where ever they go but at the same time they have no realization that they are the bad guys and just can’t understand why every time their heads pop up someone hurls a stone their way. What’s the old saying? The villain is never the villain in his own eyes.
Actually they are worse than rats. Rats don’t have their own P.R. department in the form of network news.

Putin wears a suit when he works! He also goes to church and pets his doggy. Sounds like a swell guy. I always judge people on whether or not they wear a suit. It really says something about their character. FDR wore a suit along with Ted Bundy.

The Russians hate their own people.

Many thanks for your thoughts about other matters and issues than politics, Andrew!
Since I am not- unlike my pious Catholic sister who is convinced that Jesus Christ will soon intervene- equipped with this kind of faith, I value your reflection on God especially.
“I do believe in a God of light, who is pure and good, but down here in this pit of the material world, a world of darkness, we are so very, very far away from His light. And the fact is, while alive, we are only ever going to see glimpses of this light, in the woods, in art, in our children and dogs. And, hopefully, somewhere inside of ourselves.”
The average man, yes. The average jew/Satanist… no. The average jew gets its rocks off on conflict, perpetual war, and “creative destruction”. It smell money in all of these. Shekels and ego-pumpng vainglory are the jew’s highest values.
The jew and the Voodooist are basically animals who parasitically exist off of humanity’s general desire for social harmony, which distinguishes it from the animal kingdom. But they’ve adapted their animal nature to exist within civilization as parasites, so they can enjoy the positive things about civilization, but meanwhile keep playing by “survival of the fittest” rules.
This is why Christendom (the highest civilization ever known to man) evolved into antisemitism and anti-Voodoo racism — to root out these hidden (and now not-so-hidden) parasites.
When Moses whacked the golden calf /Voodoo hebroid parasites and their evil whores, he took a big step forward in terms of civilizing the savage man-beast animal. That one brilliant act alone really laid the groundwork for a lot of the 3,500 years of civilization that followed, and rivals the Ten Commandments in terms of advancing the rule of law.
You can pass all the laws you want, but if you’re not going to enforce them, they’re useless if you’ve got a society that’s overrun with jews and Black Voodooists.

Before I forget to ask– if you don’t mind my asking — what is the meaning of “5ds” at the end of your posts?
That “flyer” idea isn’t bad at all (pamphlets are uncensorable, and “Common Sense” worked well for Thomas Paine’s cause, didn’t it?), so I am including a link to one that might be used as a template. It is probably in need of some updates, but some of the suggestions are timeless. As far as a “solutions” section here on TUR goes, well, we can’t even agree on what the problem(s) is/are, let alone agreeing on the solutions. TUR seems to be more a place for people to fight about, and eventually become Red-Pilled about, what the problems are. Two sites that have more homogenous audiences than Unz’s, and where “solutions sections” have been somewhat successful, are at Catherine Austin-Fitts solari dot com site and CorbettReport dot com, which has “solutions watch” episodes on the regular.

To Andrew Anglin, I pray this “pause” accomplishes much for you physically, mentally, and spiritually. Your article helped ME finally figure out what I’m giving up for Lent, one week in. For me, it will be more about “output” from my “mouth” than “input,” but I suppose the two pauses could definitely be companions.
Stay white, everybody!
LOL. Ok, I get it, I get it. 🙂
A person doesn’t need to experience literally everything that exists in order to see the nature of reality (or at least parts of it). That’s just dumb. If that were the case we’d have no philosophy, no mysticism or occultism, probably no science; all these things peer into reality with more or less depth and the men involved have always usually been unworldly and inexperienced bumblers, some of whom spent their whole time as shut-ins.
Corporeal “life” doesn’t have that much to offer anyway outside of work, eat, sleep, and maybe shit out some brats; the rest is mostly suffering and useless dissipation. You get the run of it in your first 30 or 40 years, and with tons of reading and exhaustive thinking you can pretty much figure out what the deal is with our so-called reality.
At this point it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if “god” is some sort of lovecraftian cosmic horror feeding on our pain. Just sayin’…
Your Hasbara propaganda is so tiresome. Alas, it’s singularly motivated by a hatred of Christ.
I was accused of promoting propaganda when I posted a video of North Korean soldiers in Kursk. Numerous posters said it can’t possibly be true. Larry C Johnson went on a big rant about how it is a CIA conspiracy and you’re an idiot if you believe it.
Well Russian State TV confirmed that they were being used in combat.
But the video of the cheap graves must be false?
Why don’t you register a nick and back your claim.
Let me fill you in on a pattern here:
1. Russia is shown on video using African mercs/Chinese 4x4s/donkeys/e-scooters/mad mad cars/North Koreans
2. Putin defenders say that (observed phenomenon) can’t be true and must be propaganda
3. 2-3 weeks later it is confirmed as true
But the graves are propaganda? This time it’s going to be propaganda?
In order to understand that God exists and has control over the entire world and every individual, you need only one thing: humility. If you soak in your sins, you will experience hell even here on Earth.
>”god”
Okay, you’re a christian. So much for an intelligent discussion…
Anyway, there are ways to actually know that everything in this world is controlled: You could study astrology. And I’m not talking about the newspaper sun-sign shit.
You could be born with precognition like me and regularly see the future in your nightmares.
You could look into block universe theory.
Even plain old causal-chain determinism shows you that everything is fated, if not supranaturally pre-determined (although it really is supranaturally pre-determined).
Recalling my original comment: whatever the truth of this universe is, it’s obviously something dark and nasty — obvious to anyone who has learned and seen enough. Not scientific materialism nor the bible holds that answer.
For all you know we only exist on a microchip to some goddamn alien computer game.
You’re not always wrong but you’re also selective and you also misenterpret reports. It’s tiring to fact check all your claims.
I love how you disrespect Putin because he’s short. What’s wrong with being a dwarf? He’s the ideal size for leading similarly short troops through a pipe behind enemy lines. Medvedev could perform the same feat. Maybe they’ll emerge with tens of thousands of troops from some pipe in Berlin, Putin’s old hunting ground. Now that Putin’s put on his uniform, which he hasn’t worn since being a KGB officer in East Germany threatening, gun in hand, those colour revolutionists in front of that building, we can expect anything from the great leader. Better crawl into your DUMB bunker.
Oh, apparently the North Korean troops did quite well against the UkroNazis and Western troops on loan to the Ukrainian army.
You’re not always wrong but you’re also selective and you also misenterpret reports. It’s tiring to fact check all your claims.
Well I was right about the North Koreans while most posters here (the crowds) were angry that I even suggested it. Did you want to deny that any of the following has been used:
African mercs/Chinese 4x4s/donkeys/e-scooters/mad mad cars/North Koreans
You and others don’t want to face the war as it exists. You’re trying to maintain an image of Russia from 2021 which was never what it seemed. Trying to maintain that image is the source of your frustrations.
I love how you disrespect Putin because he’s short. What’s wrong with being a dwarf?
I don’t care if a man is short but I believe his insecurities are related to the war and his cruelty to his own people.
I do not think the war would exist if he was the 5’6 he pretends to be. He is 5’1 like Medvedev but wears special shoes to look taller.
His biographer described him as constantly needing to compensate due to being bullied as a child. He was also an only child that was emotionally spoiled by his parents. That matches his 1.3 billion dollar mansion. Only an insecure man would want a 1.3 billion dollar mansion with a strip club and casino. It’s ridiculous and he supposedly rarely uses it.
He’s the ideal size for leading similarly short troops through a pipe behind enemy lines.
An irrelevant point given that he is the dictator and doesn’t get a scratch while hundreds of thousands of men will die gruesome deaths.
Now that Putin’s put on his uniform, which he hasn’t worn since being a KGB officer in East Germany threatening, gun in hand, those colour revolutionists in front of that building, we can expect anything from the great leader. Better crawl into your DUMB bunker.
Boy you really have some weird emotional attachment to him. Did you grow up without a dad? Why are you so attached to a mass murderer?
Oh, apparently the North Korean troops did quite well against the UkroNazis and Western troops on loan to the Ukrainian army.
You’re making that up. No one knows how many are fighting and Western troops are not on loan to Ukraine. Enlisted men can be court martialed for fighting in a foreign war. US troops are the property of the US government and can get in serious trouble for injuring themselves. There are Western volunteers and some are ex-military.
A few years ago a questionnaire was sent out to health professionals: what is the optimum amount of alcohol for human health?
The consensus was zero.

All of the nonsense about red wine, etc…..
“Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
I truly wish you discover the power of God’s love. You just have to wish it hard and persistently ask for it, my brother.
I never denied there were foreigners fighting for Russia. I am not there so I can’t verify, but it would make sense if there were even Chinese and Iranians at least as observers but maybe even taking part in military operations. Now they’ve admitted that North Koreans are fighting in the Kursk region but there are rumours that they may be even fighting elsewhere on what used to be Ukrainian territory.
I’m not your fucking brother, stranger.
Post a real comment or go away.
In my recollection, the “nonsense” about red wine is based on the finding that people who regularly drink it live longer than people who don’t.
Just as the “nonsense” about sleep apnea not being such a big deal is based on the finding that people suffering from it outlive those who do not.
Just as the “nonsense” about chocolate’s beneficial effects is based on the finding that those who indulge regularly in dark chocolate outlive those who do not.
It would be possible to find other examples, but this should be enough to make the point.
As always, it is crucial to separate the wheat from the chaff, especially when it comes to studies/advice about health, not least because many of the students/scientists conducting the studies have preconceived notions, and in some of the studies, the methodology is poor.
For example, we can be fairly certain that the many aged and elderly Americans living out their years in what used to be called an “old folks home,” but is now commonly termed “assisted living,” are probably suffering from a variety of conditions, and obviously do not drink much red wine, if any, so the results of the red wine studies are likely to be skewed.
The aged living in assisted living communities will be dying off from a host of ailments that may or may not have been brought on by life-long alcohol consumption and/or other poor choices.
No doubt many of these elderly folks are also suffering from dementia, Alzheimer’s, and in some cases, broken hearts – even craziness – after being all but abandoned by their families, who no longer want granny living with them.
Red wine does have some beneficial antioxidants, but it also has alcohol, and there is really no evidence at all that any alcohol is good for us.
Personally, if I were a young person starting over at age 15, I would never touch booze or hang out with guys who drank. In my Midwestern millieu, some guys started drinking when they were just 14 or 15, and one of those guys was a muscular brute with a chip on his shoulder who had the reputation as a high schooler for going onto the local college campus and picking fights with undergrads, whom he routinely beat to a pulp. This guy was my classmate, and I had the misfortune of drinking with him a few times, but at least I knew I wasn’t going to be the poor sap getting the shit kicked out of him.
Now dark chocolate is also loaded with anti-oxidants, and some studies do show that anti-oxidants can help delay or even prevent age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. Dark chocolate is also nutritious;
But I can’t quite grasp what point you’re trying to make as you’ve tossed up several topics. Really, it’s better to focus on one thing at a time, rather than diffuse the discussion with too many probably unrelated factors, or at least give us a summary, but I suspect you are defending booze, hence my response.
I never denied there were foreigners fighting for Russia. I am not there so I can’t verify, but it would make sense if there were even Chinese and Iranians at least as observers but maybe even taking part in military operations.
Well we had 2-3 posters that were outraged when I simply said that I believe the South Korean report on NK fighters in Kursk is true. Not as observers but a few thousand in active combat. It contradicted Larry C Johnson’s claim that the report was CIA propaganda. That never made sense and in fact the report wasn’t released by the CIA or even reiterated by them.
Unz has some pro-Putin commenters that cannot stand dissenting views and only want pro-Putin sources.
Even the video of captured North Koreans and clean shaven Asians being attacked by drones didn’t dissuade them. They only stopped accusing me of spreading propaganda after Putin’s chief propagandist admitted that NK troops were being used in combat.
We ironically have posters that would censor any non-Russian source in the name of stopping propaganda. They for some reason trust Russian state media over a variety of sources.
Not even pinworms !?
I did write that I thought that was fake, but I also thought there could be North Koreans fighting there. There are many foreigners fighting as volunteers in the Russian army from all over the world. They’re there for the money and offers of Russian citizenship so I suppose they’re mercenaries, although I doubt the North Koreans are fighting under the same conditions as the other foreigners. The North Koreans probably won’t be allowed to stay on in Russia and get Russian passports. Also I don’t know if they’re being offered Russian pay rates. Maybe, sort of like overseas workers.
