“Suppose that we said yes to a single moment, then we have said yes not only to ourselves, but to the whole of existence. For nothing stands alone, either in ourselves or in things; and if our soul did but once vibrate and resound with a chord of happiness, then all of eternity was necessary to bring forth this one occurrence - and in this single moment when we said yes, all of eternity was embraced, redeemed, justified, and affirmed.”

"The Ray Peat drink please"
I was at a Starbucks talking about how we need to file down every psychiatrist and FDA employee into a pencil-shape until we get a handle on what's going on here, when I overheard a guy ask for "The Ray Peat drink." Which was 500 grams of molecularly compressed sugar in milk.

You just know X is optimizing hard for engagement in certain topics because you can skip these fake outrages like “age gap discourse” since always and still get it in For You like once a week

Another very interesting example of how improving metabolism is the main thing and that metabolism itself should be somehow seen as a ‘nutrient’, or more accurately, that the body makes no sense at all without a holistic systems view
This study is insane because it shows that supplemental VITAMIN D3 can practically fix a thiamine deficiency at the cell level
As could antioxidants (and potentially anything else which improves the redox state of the cell).
It was shown in another paper for NAC
Absolutely bonkers. However, it beautifully illustrates the interconnected relationship between nutrients
Caveat: This would be context-dependent. It probably only applies if the deficiency is specifically caused by inactivation of thiamine by ROS/RNS. If the diet is low, that obviously needs to be fixed

Ray Peat’s views on the gut (colon, microbiome) seems to hinge on the idea that reducing the amount of fermentable food that reaches the colon reduces “good” & bad bacteria in an equal amount or that this favors the good bacteria, & that SCFAs from the good are non-essential

Who up for an experiment? @HansAmato a chance to unlock the strength of the Spartans...
A strange historical diet fact that puzzles me is how Ancient Greeks ate ±70% barley. They made bread (maza) or gruel. This constituted around 1750 kcal of barley daily, which comes down to 20-35 grams of beta-glucan every day! Compare: oats contain 2 grams in a good portion.

People on health X love to say that we are uniquely being poisoned these days, but always forget that people used to live in cities with coal smoke that blocked out the sun entirely, carbon monoxide, arsenic, mercury, asbestos all around your house, water pipes made of lead, etc

Ray Peat would constantly paint naked women, tell you to get over your girl by getting a new one, and knew "from women I have known" that excessive estrogen causes unsatisfiable 'many small orgasms'
