Sanity Check

"Turn the other cheek", is in response to a light slap. Not a closed fist or hard open palm strike that could inflict injury. Its framed as a light slap attempting to provoke a hostile response. The modern day version might be someone flipping you off with their middle finger. Christians are not supposed to give in to that temptation. "Do not resist an evil man" Is basically the story of Lot. If a mob of rapists, child molestors and murderers shows up on your doorstep you should not resist them. Or they might kill you. There are some who will resist a thief holding a gun on them. Who will unfortunately be killed rather than hand over their wallet. "Do not resist an evil man" means in some cases its better to hand over your wallet to a thief pointing a gun at you, then to be shot. For cases where self defense or resistance is possible there is the sword. But the sword should not be the 1st option, as those who live by the sword, die by the sword.

Don't see why it wouldn't be.

I think MCO is actually a real thing. If you see someone with an unusually high amount of energy. In some cases, it is MCO.

I think some athletes develop MCO naturally without any meditation or training. MCO is naturally the most efficient way to move energy through the body. And so developing a decent amount of athleticism will naturally translate to developing MCO in some cases.

There is a famous podcast where it was recently discussed whether ivermectin can cure cancer. I don't know if this can be useful or not, but if it might save someone from cancer 100% worth it, am I right.

I'm surprised roman concrete hasn't been reverse engineered being that it lasts longer than modern concrete and carries an advantage of hardening in water. There was a report claiming volcanic fly ash was one ingredient. But no proof of concept. Around 5 years ago, my niece did an internet "make your own slime" challenge. One of the ingredients was boric acid (?). I don't remember what it was but she got minor chemical burns on her fingers mixing it. Given the nature of incidents like those, I would guess people and myself will have a hard time trusting holistic home remedies. If direwolves were recently resurrected: Perhaps silphium can be added to the future list of things to bring back. Hitler and nazis tried to revive aurrochs. There is probably a lot of cool stuff that might make a return.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silphium That one was cool ^ but appears to be extinct now.

What ever happened to the recipe for roman concrete. And that plant based method of birth control lost when Nero was emperor.

One of my grandfathers trained in some form of inner alchemy. He wanted to teach me and my cousins when we were all around 12 years old. But literally my uncles and father said: "its not good for christians to learn that stuff of the devil". Those stereotypes are real sometimes.

^ Our non violent future. Enjoy.

People love to say the only static constant in the universe is change. And so why bother defining anything as a hard this or that. In one era it may be one thing, and in another era, something completely different. In one era castles were impregnable fortresses. In another era, cannons came along and made castles obsolete.

It strengthens when exercised. Just like muscles do.

If the brain is a muscle. It only needs to be exercised.

They should make chess pieces out of crackers wrapped in plastic. At the end of the match, he literally eats his opponents king. Much more impressive.

I respect that. I also respect the lineages which accept open challenges from anyone. But why fight at all. If anyone wants to prove they're tougher or better than me. I could invite them to work harder than I'm working and produce more than I'm producing. That seems like a good win/win format to settle disputes.

I said the same thing, more gymnastics than martial arts. But still a high level of accomplishment. Maybe you can appreciate this one a little more

I always thought oil was plant matter of some type for xyz random reason. A chemist would be expected to have a better explanation for the origins of oil than I. Dinosaur bones could be high percentage carbon, which might account for the C in hydroCarbon based fossil fuels. Considering there are microbes which are known to devour oil. It is possible in past eras there were microbes which devoured organic feedstocks to produce oil as a byproduct. There were energy start ups like syntroleum that produced fossil fuels by using organic waste products as feedstock. Similar to how biodiesel used to be produced from waste french fry grease collected from mcdonalds. I don't know. Whatever is whatever. Nature is an underrated and freaky thing which sometimes has ways of exceeding its own limitations.

Good motivation for me to work harder.

The way unity is defined here is the same as good and evil defined as different sides of the same coin. Science says a single sperm cell mates with a single egg cell. Eventually resulting in an adult human composed of 40 trillion cells. When I think on this, it sounds like a miracle to me. What could it be compared to? Its like taking 1 dollar bill, mating it with another dollar bill. Then at some point down the line, you end up with 40 trillion dollars. I don't think I'm doing this topic justice. In some ways our most fundamental beliefs about nature and how the world works might be called a religion. If we think about it, a good percentage of it, sounds crazy.

Unity with "source of all" is a religion. If that is an accurate observation than every civilized world would acknowledge it.
