Janina Fisher extends the concept of plurality focused communication in her book really well too, which is a modified version of IFS tweaked with empirical evidence over the years. TBKTS is really good but the anecdotes can be retraumatizin

For those interested in anti-aging stuff for mitochondrial population renewal (as a setup for stem cell reserves renewal), y'all might enjoy this thread right here: https://www.reddit.com/r/sleephackers/commen

I've been feet in the bio space for funsies for a while, this is one of the coolest protocols I've seen yet since it's relatively cheap, easy, and actually seems to have a pretty solid impact where stuff matches what's o

This is really bad stuff, L-Dopa is absolutely not used to treat the disease. It's the final clock of normalcy. To paraphrase an expert on the matter, when you choose to use L-Dopa, you're starting a period of a year or two of rel

Oh, and there is some established stuff on Parkinson's, the destruction of dopaminergic neurons&etc, and other parts of the progression of the disease of Parkinson's out there. I'd recommend boning up on that too, if it&#

Longecity always has stuff, lots of miss, some hits. Just was looking at the mitochondria protocols that have been refined over the past few years, pretty cool stuff, but even if that works it's only one tiny aspect of aging and degene

Thanks for sharing, I really appreciated the last half. Good thoughts generally One downside I think after reading here is that there is some wacko in the first half of the post that I feel compelled to comment on a few things. Hyperfocus i

MTHFR is a slippery slope down a road to quackery and pseudoscientific BS, just a heads up. Not saying that methylation isn't a problem but it's one of the fastest routes to burn $ with little change. Naturopaths and such can tech

A hybrid approach is occasional infusions plus at home. I was infusion exclusive for a while and am at home exclusive now (extremely disciplined about it). But my Ket admin doctor and I both I think have the opinion that the occasional IV t

Ketamine is good and it's nice to see the recommendation but you are wayyyyyyy low on your numbers haha. Minimum induction that basically every clinic follows is the 6 session schedule. From there the standard is to slowly taper down t

This is awful advice, OP, please do not listen to this. Therapist is good, exercise and sun too but the rest is so bad I really would not know where to begin.

I definitely wished for this. Sometimes I think this is well worth the additional weeks/month or two of support financially and otherwise to both keep good morale and to be pretty decent to that human being.

I certainly was let go under a type 3 scenario recently. I can empathize with poor Bob (and the firing manager!). It was a bit abrupt in that my second serious set of conversations was the one where I was notified I was being let go. I disc

I cannot speak to this directly, not being African myself, but from my few visits there, I'm inclined to completely agree with this. From my limited impressions, this seems to be the power hierarchy, but people outside of it (of which

Found the reference in the article. It's a simple P40, so no, not a gaming GPU. This means the article title is not only clickbait, it's a blatant lie. Though that is an impressively lightweight GPU for what I'd feel like the

Clickbait. Tesla GPU != Gaming graphics card. It's a bit tiring to see things like this in a pseudointellectual kind of way. I looked through the article to see what specific processor they used, and couldn't find one. I'm go

A loved one or similar type individual may be able to have a second/backup key on their person in the event of a home invasion. That way there's a layered approach but also a level of self-advocacy/self-agency in the issue, w

Knives are one step away -- I don't think the gun is as important in this case. I'd argue for sensible gun control, but removing guns period could destabilize victims too. Having a sense of safety and security in the event of a ho

I feel like psychological pre-interventions are more important here, as a gun is a tool to an end. It is good that there's protection possibly along that line. I just wish that there was expanded access to psychedelically-based therapy

This is really good advice. And this is just to save this comment for my future brisket-making dreams.

I think it's a good point to bring out that people and the positive effects they experience doesn't weigh against it -- after all it's a coping mechanism, people are dissociating themselves out from ~something~. I've def

Agree, homeostasis is day to day maintenance, and even the body can't really do that in a full fashion. I wouldn't quite consider it more of a "true" homeostasis, which I'd also personally extend to DNA mitigation o

I'm not sure in particular anything that would be useful beyond certain trends. Things like AlphaFoldv2 and some of the cooperative-competitive emergent RL strategies are interesting/important. You might find some of the concurren
