Just done reading Ray Peat's article on serotonin. Funny how he covered health effects of LSD. I have been suspecting that lock and key receptor theory was bullshit for years, and Peat knew about it decades ago. So many clever guys would recite various studies about monoamine associated enzymes/receptors like VMAT, DAT/SERT. Are those all to be disregarded?

Happy birthday, America. Sorry, I'm late.

The manufactured border crisis will pave the way to the return of the wall building savior. Both factions will acknowledge the problem and implement solutions that have already been tested during the test program in 2020. Checkpoints for transportation chokepoints (implemented in the UK with cameras for programs like ULEZ), QR tracking, digital ID apps for rationing food and fuel (already tested in Sri Lanka), propaganda for flight shaming, and restrictions on air travel (partially implemented in France). Whether you support the left or the right faction of the enforcement is not very relevant. Those new measures will be installed and supported by both factions. This is a continuation of the war on terror that most have conveniently forgotten as they didn't see their colleagues blown up, and just marched in a futile protest. Which evil human is behind it? It's the logic of extraction of hydrocarbons. Assign a human face to it if you cannot reason in a different manner. The so called elites or big oil have formed an implicit distributed cartel by complying with the law and hiring ESG consultants. Crazy, eh? Big oil is the primary funder of green technology. They're following the economic rules of limiting supply just like the OPEC+, and they know that solar and wind are not performant for industrial applications. If it makes you feel sad and depressed, it's a natural reaction that needs no medication. Take your time to get over it, and form a plan. Preppers have a plan. An old German veteran writer had a plan called Waldgang. Those likely won't work for you, but that's what makes the game more interesting.

The diversity of food tends to disappear or flatten out as the proportion of manufactured foods increases. Today the very same articles of diet are distributed worldwide so that an Inuit Eskimo and an African native may soon be eating powdered milk manufactured in Wisconsin or frozen fish sticks from a single factory in Sweden. A few big multinationals such as Unilever, the world’s biggest food production company, preside over a highly integrated service system in which the object is not to nourish or even to feed, but to force an ever-increasing consumption of fabricated, processed products upon the world.
