The safest I know of are infrared saunas (red bulb/near infrared is best), and breathing exercises, as well as overall good nutrition and emotional healing to support the body's natural detox pathways. Clinical practices like intr

A further thought: Whilhelm Reich’s concept of “armoring” is relevant and worth exploring for those interested. Here’s the first article I could find about it (no idea if it’s the best): https://www.somatopia.com/blog/t

Meditation has only been a very small part of my practice. I've worked with a whole lot of different practitioners since about 2012. I can't really distil a decade plus of healing work into a comment that skeptical readers will fi

This comment from a similar thread over 10 years ago pretty much sums it up: I just saw Sam Altman speak at YCNYC and I was impressed. I have never actually met him or heard him speak before Monday, but one of his stories really stuck out

I understand you have a passionately held opinion about these matters, and it's unlikely I or anyone is likely to change your mind about much of it. But, as it's often said, you don't understand your own position thoroughly u

Nobody is using it for the opposite narrative. Quarantine has nothing to do with enslavement. You’re being histrionic, but also inconsistent when worrying about loss of life through totalitarianism but not loss of life through preventable i

You brought it up and keep replying, so you've clearly got an axe to grind. Not a single person is denying he was privileged. Your implication is that a privileged life is a life of "little to no worries", which is frequently

Aside from the different handling of capital investment vs expenses, "deciding [not] to reinvest" is not the only factor that determines a company's net income. Take a company that loses $100M one year because of a natural di
