"(Steven) Pinker is possibly the worst of the ruling class apologists. Bill Gates might just be a little stupid, but this guy seems to be consciously evil."

ideally, one's job should not begin until the afternoon. Breakfast should be a relaxed 1-2 hour long process (multiple cafe con leches) while catching up on news, hour long walk, shower, lunch, and then after begin work with a fully warmed up brain and go till 7ish.
The Ray Peat Lifestyle: no restaurants, no bars, no flights, no sporting events, no fictional books, no entertainment, no cell phone, no TV, no wasting time, no luxury items, no cheat days, no grass-fed milk, no hair or skin products, no credit card, no investments
Things Ray Peat did not believe in: the laws of thermodynamics (conservation of matter, entropy always increasing), the big bang, the earth will run out of oil, genes, cell walls, global warming, memories are stored in the brain.
The female peaters seem so much more trustworthy. Like if you were badly sick and needed help Emma Sgourakis from saturee seems like she would gently nurture you back to health. Meanwhile some male peaters would tell you to take DHT and 2g aspirin doses just to see what happens
This is what the skin of Jack Kruse and the sunlight maxxers end up looking like, especially when combined with pufas and iron. You need UV in moderate amounts for vit D, but to think the sun is fully benign so you can sit in it mid-day for hours with 0 negative effects is risky
Most of the UV light spectrum and about 40% of red/infrared light spectrum is blocked by glass windows, allowing all blue light to enter unphased.
Simply staying inside even without artificial lights on can make one blue light toxic.
You are welcome to exit Judaism, but you can’t exit Zionism and remain Jewish. God’s covenants to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the Prophets all validate the Jewish people living freely in their Biblical homeland. This is immutable and the essence of our faith
At 110 years old, Vincent Dransfield still drives his car every day to get coffee at the convenience store and buy lunch
He lives independently in his own house in New Jersey, where he has resided since 1945
one of the more "hardcore" Peat quotes. just a complete disregard for entertainment and distractions. this, and the fact that he hadnt been to a restaurant since 1984, no TV, no cell phone, you really get an idea of the type of man he was. insane mental stamina and discipline
Between this and Michael Hastings if ur any sort of dissident probably best to be driving a pre 2000s car that doesn’t have a computer spooks can hack into and drive your car into a brick wall at 200mph
obviously they’ll still probably get you but at least make it a challenge
sometimes you just have to sit back and appreciate the normies who have 0 health issues despite eating zogslop all day and working 9-5s and getting triple vaxxed. the body is very resiliant. a loving family, stress free childhood, good friends can take you a long way in life
Unironically would have been a wrap for me if I never found Ray. I don't have a spleen or gallbladder, was 6 ft tall 130 pounds eating 3500 calories sedentary, 90s resting heart rate, TSH of 5. Ray guided me through it all with great care over email, an extreme privilege
"The baby detects the mother's anxiety or happiness and pleasure, and if the mother is not comfortable and pleased to be feeding the baby, the baby starts assimilating those ideas"
Most contact lenses have forever chemicals on them. If your eyes are trash just take the Peat pill and wear glasses. Or you can do what I do and become a professional squinter.
Ray Peat - "the soy monopoly is really extremely powerful in the United States, it subsidizes research and propaganda, medical society meetings, and books"
Soyciety is real.
A simple anti-stress activity you can do is to write with your non-dominant hand. Ray said it can help remedy neurosis and during stress the brain becomes overly "one sided"
Once Vaseline or mineral oil enters cells, there is no way for the body to remove it according to Ray. Also, mineral oil acting as an autoimmune inducing adjuvant is known and it tends to cause inflammatory granulomas.
if you have high cholesterol, youll likely live a happy life with a good family until you randomly get a heart attack due to subclinical hypothyroidism at age 68. if you have low cholesterol, youll be anxious and depressed and if you live past 40 youll get parkinsons or ALS
somewhere out there, theres a peater trying to find a girlfriend thats not mrna vaxxed, doesnt wear makeup, doesnt get manicures, and doesnt eat at restaurants. good luck.
Unironically need to decide soon if I want to live the Ray Peat NEET life, low stress. Few or no kids. Or just grind some job with higher pay, have 10 kids, very little sleep Frequent zog food from lack of time and probably die of a stress related heart attack or stroke
Ray Peat: "Just absolute withdrawal from all of the stupid imposed digital systems. Don't buy anything from Amazon. Don't express your opinions on Facebook"
ray peat leftism should not die out. do not forget capital was his main enemy. PUFA oils, CT scans, estrogen, SSRIs, statins, carageenan and food additives. these problems cant be thought of as seperate issues
multiple times in my life, where I thought I was unimaginably screwed, I was lent helping hands, grace, and forgiveness by others when I did nothing to deserve it. I think its good to try and be the one who forgives without preconditions, from an ability to see yourself in others
Ray Peat essentially predicted the nord stream sabotage months before it happened
"The US policy of arming the Ukraine...is primarily a war against Germany...If Germany approves the pipeline I suspect that they will do something drastic"
if youre a rich peater, living somewhere between newport beach and san diego in zogifornia is pretty good. near perfect weather, food quality is top notch because trendy rich moms want organic stuff, and you can do day trips to mexico to buy thyroid and antibiotics...
Ray: "..ripe avocados, they're one of the pleasantest foods I can think of.....But it's possible you could eat like a quart and a half a day and have an imbalance of your fats.....but a couple of avocados a day, you're safe."
"Do you think there's any country or region in the world that is at least attempting to embark on the right path...Or do you think it's all under the control of the world capital?"
Ray Peat: "There are little opposition countries. Iran has its good points."
My grandma was a brutal migrainer up until menopause, shed have them every thursday. and in Iran back then they just gave you aspirin so she was taking mega doses every week. long story short my dad became a math professor at MIT at age 24 and ive never seen him angry in my life.
Rays spirit was so gentle he refused to let up and ignore small, subtle allergens or issues, so as to not accidentally harm the sickest and most sensitive. he was always caring and comforting for those who most needed it, and people turned that against him, saying its orthorexic
Imagine Ray spending his time caring about a 401k and how the SP500 is doing, or if the fed will cut interest rates in the next zog meeting. Stocks are simply an embarrasing lowlife endeavor. I say this as an investor (gambler) myself who follows the market with great interest
Ray said he hadn't been to a doctor since he was 12 years old. Hospitals are always a danger which have to be navigated very carefully. If you want to avoid them at all costs like him, it's good to have a variety of antibiotics from mexico on hand for emergency scenarios.
Saw a youtube vid of a guy who said he cured his "histamine intolerance" by wearing arched shoes. Wasnt even flat footed, but had the opposite prob of high arches which he claimed on hard/flat floors prevents full grounding. Feeling the arches let his nervous system relax.
I wish someone would write about christ, catholicism, orthodoxy, process theology, all from a peat perspective of the hormonal/environmental nature of thoughts, sins and how they relate to guilt/innocence. lots of untapped potential there for the theologically inclined
"For a long time I have thought of Russia and the west side of Latin America as the places where civilization would have its best chance to escape."

Ray Peat household essentials: A computer with a wired keyboard and mouse, ideally an ethernet cable, bulk baking soda, tallow or coconut soap, low nickel stainless steel or glass pots and pans, glass cups and plates (painted ones leech), thin latex foam mattress, cotton sheets
“So just doing a boring and stupid job that many people spend their lives doing, that is poisoning your tissues constantly because you're not getting pleasure out of the activity“

My bro went to med school and now is saying stuff like “benadryl is the most dangerous anti-histamine” there is a very long way to go.. need Landshark to crank up his Ray Peat posting even more
According to soylennials, you shouldnt worry about cell towers and power lines cause its all non-ionizing radiation. But then they also say ionizing radiation from x-rays and CT scans are fine cause its just like background radiation from the sun. And then they avoid the sun.
Haidut had that thread on rpf (rip) on a call for medical nihilism, and I think that's the easiest way to help normies. Tell them even "officially" medical error kills 300k ppl a year. Doing nothing is far better than 95% of interventions. Aspirin/penicillin good for acute stuff
@RWApodcast
he was also talking about how amazing it is some of the people designing a price cap on Russian oil were educated at supposedly elite institutions

@Bill__py
everyone sounds like reddit. all soy snark as their minds cant think past calories in calories out as being the cause of every health issue. just continue eating the carageenan and take immune suppressents for your chrons disease.
In general do everything you can to avoid dentists, doing peaty stuff with fat solubles and calcium, but if you really think you need stuff done this is Peat's opinion on the safest treatments.
if you truly want a ray peat child its not about what foods you give them, or how much progesterone the mom takes, but the level of intellectual freedom the child is given, with minimal to no pressure put on them. there is a risk however they turn out like bertrand russell
most people intuitively gravitate away from "try-hards". you can tell when someone is acting beyond their energetic capability and therefore using stressful energy.
main reason theyre slowly getting rid of tenure is cause guys like David Ray Griffin can be an ordinary theology professor for 30 years and then just turn on a dime and start pumping out book after book proving 9/11 was an inside job and the universities cant do anything about it
