Very interesting about the pigs, did not know that.
Also the wicking ability - yes rate of change of heat loss.
So we evolved toward more intensive energy usage, more Watts per kg - generate more energy flow (enabling higher functions, create order, structure and complexity) as well as to dissipate more as needed (allowing those functions to survive pressures/chaos).

Deep ketosis probably has something to do with it as well. Human babies are the fattest land animal, even more so that baby seals. That same brain we use to hunt is made of fat, ketones, cholesterol. In northern climates the only food source in winter is large fatty mammals, megafauna, with a much higher percentage of body fat than smaller mammals. You are warmer in ketosis, higher internal temperature, with higher heartbeat stroke volume. Like having an internal oil fire instead of internal plant-kindling fire.
I expect body hair loss was influenced by sexual selection, which can be a rational or irrational, an aesthetic or utilitarian, feedback loop. I like to think a newly unlocked higher value set led us to grasp toward something more aesthetic. Probably a meta-mix of reasons.

Don't you think Bitcoin is a manifestation of Pagan nature?
Isn't reality/Nature/the Tao, whatever you want to call it, powerful enough and already containing all possibilities/miracles that you don't need to add extra socially binding stories?
The vigour of nature found an eruption in giving us bitcoin didn't it?
Don't all groups congregate and bind around an irrational lie, because only lies serve as an in-group signal? Decentralised truth is rational, and you would do it anyway, ergo it serves no purpose as an in-group signal. The bigger the group the bigger the lies.

Bitcoin is that vanguard, or beachhead, into truth that is strong enough to break through. In other areas of life the lies of the groups push you back away from Nature and wear you down. Bitcoin's winning and increasing power acts as both a sword and shield to hold onto and keeps your psychic Will replenished. It's the easiest portal to go through toward alignment with Nature (walking with the gods).

Bitcoin will always seem expensive because the price will always be near an all time high, but it will simultaneously always be undervalued, which is why the price is increasing.
Most people cannot grasp this perspective and it will seem like a paradox to them and cause much frustration.
Another eternal frustration is people only having x when they could have had 10x if only they acted differently, not realising that in just a few years their x will be valued at 10x. They can make up for past mistakes with frugality plus a little time. Awakening is the goal and it's effortless after that.

Bruce Lee also said, from the biography "Fighting Spirit"
WILL POWER:
Recognising that the power of will is the supreme court over all other departments of my mind, I will exercise it daily, when I need the urge to action for any purpose; and I will form HABIT designed to bring the power of my will into action at least once daily.
EMOTION:
Realising that my emotions are both POSITIVE and negative I will form daily HABITS which will encourage the development of the POSITIVE EMOTIONS, and aid me in converting the negative emotions into some form of useful action.
REASON:
Recognising that both my positive & negative emotions may be dangerous if they are not controlled and guided to desirable ends, I will submit all my desires, aims and purposes to my faculties of reason, and I will be guided by it in giving expression to these.
IMAGINATION:
Recognising the need for sound PLANS and IDEAS for the attainment of my desires, I will develop my imagination by calling upon it daily for help in the formation of my plans.
MEMORY:
Recognising the value of an alert memory, I will encourage mine to become alert by taking care to impress it clearly with all thoughts I wish to recall, and by associating those thoughts with related subjects which I may call to mind frequently.
SUBCONSCIOUS MIND:
Recognising the influence of my subconscious mind over my power of will, I shall take care to submit to it a clear and definite picture of my PURPOSE in life and all minor purposes leading to it, and keep this picture CONSTANTLY BEFORE my subconscious mind.
CONSCIENCE:
Recognising that my emotions often err in their over-enthusiasm... I will encourage my conscience to guide me as to what is right & what is wrong, but I will never set aside the verdicts it renders, no matter what may be the cost of carrying them out.

Would you describe Bitcoin as a force of Nature, and in accord with all of these nine principles?
My feeling is that Bitcoin acts as this foundation for a pagan-like enforcement of Nature's rules of thumb. That it will breakdown over-centralised systems that grew by cutting organic, natural bonds and processes and replacing them with the central entity's synthetic, controlled version.
Bitcoin returns us to nature though in an enhanced manner, like the ideas behind the serene perfection of a Greek sculpture, it enables it's masons to embrace Nature and yet provides the focussed impulse to go beyond her.

There is another danger of Bitcoin touched on here, that is, once the opportunity cost is fully realised and internalised it can lead to paralysis and inaction.
Why buy a car when it could be a Porsche in a few years, a Ferrari in another few, a house in another few, a mansion in another few. What is the opportunity cost of a child or two over eighteen years measured in Bitcoin.
Utilitarianism like this turns you into a predictable slave of the spreadsheet. People follow incentives but the pressure of this incentive threatens becoming a productivity drone, lacking vitality and that unpredictable vigour of Nature.
Bitcoin can be weilded as anextraordinarily empowering tool, but beware of it's sharp edges, and do not let it overpower your own Will or life force.
Life is accumulating power, then discharging it.

The diet is excellent for gaining muscle and bone density but you need to eat enough fat for energy and to become ketone adapted, so that the protein can be used for building.
If you are eating low/zero carb but don't eat adequate fat you will turn protein into glucose in the liver, and so still be running on glucpse, which is inefficient and inflammatory, as opposed to using antiinflammatory ketones.
The ratio is 35g fat to 100g lean muscle meat, by weight before cooking, per meal.
You should eat when hungry. If you over eat your blood sugar and insulin will rise and your ketones will drop. You also need organs twice per week, adding fat to the same ratio.

I have seen many posts the last month about AI as religion or god. In a similar way as the post-war religion was a holy trinity of psyops; moon landing, nukes, and holoc@ust, where nukes where the combination of the other two (a scientific holoc@ust) and where nukes were the stick/threat and space exploration the carrot/promise with obedience. "Scientists" in white lab coats/robes could be installed as the new high priests. Like the pyramids, the project said "look what we can do, so listen to and obey us". Now, "AI safety/moderation" aims to take the place of atheist scientists (where "scientists say..." --> AI says) to control this new engineered religion. They will fail this time because they do not have control of all media channels and there are various online elements of the population (nostriches/bitcoiners/bro scientists) who are not as brainwashed as two generations ago. You could say that centralised, propagated religion is the grandest of all "Malthusian fear spells", undermining organic cultures, bonds and traditions to replace them with itself.

It is not a pyramid, it is simply a ratio, of 100g lean red muscle meat to 35g animal, per meal. With 3 portions of organs per week and 100-200ml bone broth and marrow per day.

Bitcoin is Homeric art, in that Homeric naïveté, as described by Nietzsche, can only be understood as the complete triumph of Apolline illusion (or artistic forms and truths revealed in dream).
This is an illusion Nature often uses in order to attain its goals. The true goal is veiled by a phantasm: we stretch our hands toward one thing (number go up, make and save capital), and Nature deceives us to achieve the other (abolish centralisation/central banking and large scale leftism, forge Natures upward pointing table of values and truth back into societies and culture).

"Black Rocks" is a geological feature next to Cromford Mills in Derbyshire, where the industrial revolution began. There is symbolism of Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, with Black Rocks and Blackrock, the centralised giant and owner of everything.

Well said. Bitcoin empowers a new class of individuals and cements the CORRECT and TRUE table of natures values into reality, through this class of individuals, while relegating to the dustbin the inverted table of fiat values of those Nietzsche called the preachers of death.

Once you see it the official narrative becomes laughable. There's an Asha Logos series called Our Subverted History that tells the same story but in ancient times, not just 20th century. It's always a war between two opposite sets of values, and groups distinguish and define themselves in opposition to rivals, "we are not them".
But it's all over now. Bitcoin is the unstoppable force that cements the indo-european table of values into reality and impedes the tiny hats fiat table of values.
It will jack up the difficulty of life though, like sliding the overton window all the way to the right.

Bruce Lee has always been an aspiration to me. I summarise the biography "Fighting Spirit" here
His affirmations
1, You will never get any more out of life than you expect
2, Keep your mind on the things you want and off those you don’t
3, Things live by moving and gain strength as they go
4, Be a calm beholder of what is happening around you
5, There is a difference a) the world b) our reaction to it
6, Be aware of our conditioning! Drop and dissolve inner blockage
7, Inner to outer - we start by dissolving our attitude not by altering outer condition
8, See that there is no one to fight, only an illusion to see through
9, No one can hurt you unless you allow him to
10, Inwardly, psychologically, be a nobody
WILL POWER:
Recognising that the power of will is the supreme court over all other departments of my mind, I will exercise it daily, when I need the urge to action for any purpose; and I will form HABIT designed to bring the power of my will into action at least once daily.
EMOTION:
Realising that my emotions are both POSITIVE and negative I will form daily HABITS which will encourage the development of the POSITIVE EMOTIONS, and aid me in converting the negative emotions into some form of useful action.
REASON:
Recognising that both my positive & negative emotions may be dangerous if they are not controlled and guided to desirable ends, I will submit all my desires, aims and purposes to my faculties of reason, and I will be guided by it in giving expression to these.
IMAGINATION:
Recognising the need for sound PLANS and IDEAS for the attainment of my desires, I will develop my imagination by calling upon it daily for help in the formation of my plans.
MEMORY:
Recognising the value of an alert memory, I will encourage mine to become alert by taking care to impress it clearly with all thoughts I wish to recall, and by associating those thoughts with related subjects which I may call to mind frequently.
SUBCONSCIOUS MIND:
Recognising the influence of my subconscious mind over my power of will, I shall take care to submit to it a clear and definite picture of my PURPOSE in life and all minor purposes leading to it, and keep this picture CONSTANTLY BEFORE my subconscious mind.
CONSCIENCE:
Recognising that my emotions often err in their over-enthusiasm... I will encourage my conscience to guide me as to what is right & what is wrong, but I will never set aside the verdicts it renders, no matter what may be the cost of carrying them out.

Longer, slower runs with less rest (5 x 5:00 with 2:30 recovery) increase fitness through CENTRAL adaptations; heart size, blood volume and O2 capacity
Shorter, faster runs with more rest (4 x 30 seconds with 4:00 recovery) trigger PERIPHERAL adaptations; blood vessels, muscles

Niels Bohr was the great atomic structure and quantum theory physicist. He conceived the Principle of Complementarity:
For a photon or electron, it is impossible to observe both the wave and particle aspects simultaneously. Together, however, they present a fuller description.
Bohr applied the Principle of Complementarity to not only physics, but all important issues of life.
"Bohr was the incarnation of complementarity, the insistence that every important issue has an opposite side that appears as mutually exclusive with the other. The understanding of the question becomes possible only if the existence of both sides is recognised". - Edward Teller
Bohr suggested complementarity could illuminate the mind-body problem,
It might provide for the difference between organic and inorganic matter,
It could underlie other classic dualisms like subject/object, reason versus passion and even free volition versus causality.
After experiences during a trip to China, Bohr adopted the yin yang symbol as part of his family coat of arms (when he was knighted in 1947).
Everything contains Yin and Yang and nothing is absolute with Yin and Yang.

Big shift recently. Moved from concern over how short life is, to wondering what I will do to fill up my years, now that I realise and understand many truths.
As I read the writings of the great sages, I realise that I am on the same path, having the experiences they describe.

Why believe in things that would destroy your life and society, but then reject myths that would enrich and empower you?
What use is your philosophy if it does not make you thrive?
What is TRUE is what WORKS and thus GOOD.

The best notes are those which do not appeal to ideology, rhetoric, attention-getting cleverness, or the ambition to construct a "system", but regardless they still RESONATE with you as true, or, GLOW with VERACITY

Its also printing those jobs that wouldn't exist "naturally", jobs the market would not desire.
If you can print currency then you can print actors, enforcers and other functionaries that accept said currency.

Everything that exists is a self-reinforcing loop. It has to be or it would fizzle out, and not exist. We live in a world of ghosts, endlessly craving, never satisfied. They won't change, Bitcoin will just exert itself as a forcing function.
