Sanity Check

zzz

Well, think of this. I'm a christian. I say its real. The existence of it can be inferred via logical deduction, like this. A. Acupuncture is proven to be legitimate medicine. It is acknowledged by modern medical science as producing effects which cannot be explained by science. B. The tangible effects of acupuncture prove the existence of meridians and other things as well. You don't have to agree with me or think like I do. But to say that there is no evidence for it... is kinda sorta questionable.

eh nvm

I may have seen evidence cats can tell what I'm thinking. They communicate through body language, etc. And are very good at reading posture and gestures, etc.

Are Cats Nature’s “Perfect Creature”? Cat owners have long suspected their feline friends might just be flawless. Research, it turns out, may agree Are cats nature’s perfect creature? Research into cat evolution, intelligence, and behavior suggests they might be. From DNA studies showing little change in 9,000 years to their unrivaled hunting instincts and mysterious independence, cats appear fine-tuned by nature itself. Discover why scientists, as well as cat owners,believe felines may be the closest thing to perfection in the animal world. But what does “perfect” really mean in biology? Let’s dig into the research. Are cats nature’s perfect creature? The DNA That Barely Changed “Cats have changed remarkably little in nearly 9,000 years.” Unlike dogs, who humans actively shaped for herding, hunting, and guarding, cats essentially domesticated themselves. DNA studies comparing ancient wildcats to modern house cats reveal that felines remain strikingly similar to their wild ancestors. The biggest difference? Coat patterns and colors. That genetic stability suggests cats already had the right tools to thrive in both the wild and alongside humans. In other words, they didn’t need to reinvent themselves — they were already “good enough.” Born Hunters, Built for Efficiency “Every feature of a cat is optimized for predation.” From needle-sharp claws to eyes adapted for low light, cats are precision predators. Their teeth are specialized for slicing meat, their flexible spines allow explosive leaps, and their whiskers act as finely tuned sensors. Scientists note that cats are “highly specialized carnivores,” with very little evolutionary “waste.” Every part of their body serves a purpose, creating a predator that is sleek, efficient, and incredibly effective. Intelligence With a Twist “Cats can be as smart as dogs — they just don’t always care to show it.” Studies of feline cognition reveal cats are capable of solving puzzles, recognizing human cues, and even remembering events for months at a time. The twist? Unlike dogs, they’re less motivated to perform for humans. This independence is part of their evolutionary success. Cats didn’t need human approval to survive; they developed as opportunists, thriving whether or not people were involved. That autonomy is part of what makes them so fascinating to live with. Adaptability Without Compromise “Cats thrive in almost any environment — from ancient deserts to modern apartments.” Cats originated in desert regions, but today they flourish on nearly every continent. Their ability to live in both wild habitats and human homes shows just how versatile they are. While many species rely on humans for survival, cats remain semi-independent. Even feral cats, descended from domestic stock, can survive without direct human care. That balance of closeness and independence makes them unique among companion animals. The Caveats of Perfection “Perfection in one context can be a flaw in another.” Cats’ strict carnivorous diet limits their adaptability if prey becomes scarce. Free-roaming cats are devastating predators in fragile ecosystems. Their independence means they can be misunderstood as aloof or untrainable. In biology, “perfect” doesn’t mean flawless. It means perfectly adapted for a specific role — and cats have mastered theirs. Why Cat Owners Love the Idea Cat owners already know: living with a feline feels like living with a little marvel of design. Their grace, their independence, their ability to be both wild and cuddly — it’s a package that feels complete. The quoted research gives language to what many pet parents sense every day: cats aren’t just companions, they’re evolutionary masterpieces. “Cats are evolution’s reminder that sometimes, nature gets it just right.” My Take: Are Cats the Perfect Creature? If by “perfect” you mean well-adapted for a carnivorous, stealthy, largely independent lifestyle — then yes, cats are among the closer approximations. They are superb at what they do, with minimal evolutionary “waste.” https://catanddogtips.substack.com/p/are-cats-natures-perfect-creature

Today I stumbled across a biblical reference which may have inspired some to write their own versions of things.

... Is there an organism with anatomical symmetry closer to that of seraphim angels described in the bible. Than the octopus. Could the choice of an octopus representing cthulhu have been biblically inspired.

Zero point energy? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-point_energy There is an entire field of pseudoscience devoted to it.

Lot took matters in his own hands in offering his daughters to the mob. He leaned on his own understanding, rather than God's. The better option may have been to ask God for advice on how to handle the situation. The way King David would have. Had he done this maybe his wife would not have turned into a pillar of salt and his daughters would not have done what they did. Lot was in conversation with God on a regular basis. Which most modern people are not. And so what applies to Lot might not apply to most christians of today.

Fun fact on hermetics. The most famous person in the world to study it is. JK Rowling the author of Harry Potter. Who named her character Hermione after hermetics. Peak daobums right here.

No, this by itself will not trigger any such thing. But if an AI uprising does happen at some point. Maybe its not hard to see why.

I'm not saying where it happened or who it happened to. But not long ago in the news there was a case where someone was found keeping their elderly wife chained up in a shed in the backyard and it went viral. Apparently she had been chained up in the shed for years, maybe even decades. "Tie her to a pole and leave her in the back of the garden" sounds like a joke. Crazy to think things like this still happen.

Kind of strange but the chorus is nice.

I don't think I ever had issue with Lot's choices. People of today say: "why didnt Lot simply call the police". They don't understand what it means to live under threat of violence. Which isn't to say that Lot made the right choice by offering up his daughters. He may have made the wrong choice which is why he was later punished by his daughters getting him drunk.

Think of wars, genocides and clan feuds that occurred throughout the ages. Were those things ever prevented by tribal policeman. In modern society people can call the police and they'll often show up in 5 minutes. What was law enforcement response time in ancient eras? If you sent a messenger to call them, they might not arrive for weeks or months. In some cases, they might not show up at all. Has there ever been a case of a king or emperor implementing specific measures to keep their working class safe from harm? If the ruling class cracked down, it was usually because there was a band of thieves and raiders who were harassing merchants who had the wealth & influence to demand the ruling class step in to protect them. It was not so much to protect lower social classes or commoners. Under those circumstances, the best model for longevity & safety was for people to have a warrior culture which prepared them to best defend themselves. And perhaps this is where we see family inherited styles of martial arts being developed. People developed these warrior skills to protect themselves & their families in eras where they could not rely on governments or the ruling class to dispense justice.

When I began reading about MCO back around 2017. Read the part about touching the tip of the tongue to the ceiling of the mouth. Suddenly realized I was already doing that without consciously being aware of doing it. Read the part about those with MCO being ill less than average. COVID was the only time I got sick over the past 20+ years. Interesting set of coincidences considering I never cared about MCO and never made an effort to develop it. Here is some backstory. In the past I installed floors and did construction work. Being that its indoor work with lighting, it was possible to do 16 hour shifts. Seven days a week. And that's exactly what I did. 12 to 16 hour shifts everyday for months. What some might call an extreme amount of labor intensive work. Without much time to rest or recover. After supply chain food shortages of 2020, many turned to agriculture and farming. I began making posts about agriculture on the internet. Some politely said americans of today are too entitled and soft for the hard work that is agriculture. And they might be right. But being someone who has done a little bit of work in the past, this gave me motivation to see what kind of agriculture work I was capable of. In the sub division where I live. I don't think there is anyone in the entire sub division who has done more agriculture work by hand than I have. The amount of work I normally do on a daily basis is... unusual. And people have acknowledged this. As a child, teen and young adult I was interested in martial arts. I never had a sensei or teacher. I tried to learn on my own and make up my own methods of training. Anyways, I'm not going to be so bold as to claim I have MCO. Or that I accidentally unlocked it somehow in the midst of daily work and trying to invent my own martial arts training methods. But if you think about it, there are a lot of people in the world who haven't gotten sick in a long time. There are many who are working long and hard hours on a consistent basis. If working hard consistently and not getting sick are symptoms of MCO. Then perhaps many will develop it. Many already have it. Without even realizing it.

Those in the above video are very skilled at practicing non violence. Is this what true pacifism looks like?

In the medieval era of knights didn't they slap each other with gloves as a sign of disrespect to issue challenges. I think it might be compared to that. If you think about it, clan blood feuds and clan genocides were big in past eras. The wrong gesture of disrespect carried the potential to trigger generations long conflict. And so people naturally would take steps to avoid that if possible by being unusually polite. The type of extremely rude and disrespectful behavior commonly found on social media might have been a death sentence in ancient times. In the modern era of police and governments protecting civilians, flight is the response. But in eras before police and governments adopted this role, people generally had to protect themselves or they would not be protected. And so fight was their only option. If they ran into trouble, where would they flee to? All their belongings, their family and everything they owned was in one place. If they left that one place, people could carry all their possessions and valuables away. They might take their wife and sell their kids into slavery. And so running wasn't necessarily as popular an option back then as it is today.

He offered his virgin daughters to placate the mob. But they wanted Lot's guests.

"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.
