Two minutes of hard over-breathing already increases leakage from the blood into the lungs, and raises serotonin and histamine.
The Buteyko method trains quieter nasal breathing and smaller volumes, with a mild hunger for air, so more carbon dioxide stays in the blood and lungs. After a normal exhale, the control pause is how long you can wait without strain. Longer pauses mark higher CO2 tolerance. Widget link below.
It just keeps coming... Him and @BerbarianWizard are the only Peaters doing interesting stuff rn

So much better than the "bro I stole his girl, I'm an alpha chad bro,I stole his girl" routine
Unironically wholesome pro-social behavior. "Micro-cheating" is also a really funny way to identify the little plausibly deniable bits they think they're getting away with

Cried two tears, first time in probably 16 years.
I was cleaning the transcript of the "Remembering Ray Peat" call-in show. Trebbie called in and talked so lovingly about Ray that I started thinking this is as close as a human can get to acting in God's image, in his generosity.
"If I could just help one more person, that keeps me going."
That part hit me hard. I kept it together until I heard Danny Roddy choke up.
Always thought I was just sturdy. Turns out I was just numb.

Same wiki, without the decoration.
lite.wikipeatia.org is WikiPeatia stripped down to text and citations, like the old wikis. No animations, dynamic features or extras, lightweight, loads fast on old phones and bad connections.
For the ones who are here just to study.
Day 1 of applying lidocaine to my nail beds to make this an n=2.
"Before" photos have been taken but will not be posted here you freak perverts.
Anyway here is a pic of my toes:

Tell every good child how their various qualities will make them a good parent. Immediately after, ask how many kids they'll have. They'll beam with joy as they start to imagine their future. A fraction of a baby is added to the world. No one else invites them to imagine this.
I know it's a belabored point but the beginning of an S-shaped curve looks like an exponential one.
The adoption of any new technology has followed this kind of distribution. Why would AI be different?

You must remember that all philosophy is a confession. People become obsessed with stoicism because they are naturally neurotic. That doesn’t mean stoicism can’t help you. If you are neurotic, it will help you a lot. Marcus Aurelius was neurotic. But it does mean you need to update your mental model of “this stoic guru will be stoic” to “this stoic guru will be neurotic.” Thinking the DailyStoic guy must be mentally stable is like thinking someone on anti-depressants must not be depressed.
That face you make when you read the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius 195 times and build an entire career off promoting stoic philosophy but still don't know what it means or how to apply it to your own life.
This is modern intellectualism in a nutshell.
All knowledge, no wisdom.
Virtue signalling without virtue.

Bioenergetics is not merely about making life easy, becoming more attractive, reversing aging, increasing your IQ, etc. or any of the vulgarizations you see online. It’s about restoring the wholeness of life. Effortless flow, order, harmony, appetite, properly using everything metabolizing life.
Living for someone or something is much more difficult than dying for it.
You have to live for something everyday while you only have to die once.
