In the last few months or so I’ve started researching Biohacking and alternative health practices, mainly to heal some health issues I’ve had for a while. One of these is a stomach issue and the other is a mild stigmatism in my right eye that makes reading a little blurry. Red light therapy , specifically at 660 nm and 850 nm has been shown to have many beneficial properties, specifically: 660nm: This wavelength is known to stimulate cell repair and collagen production, contributing to skin health and wound healing.  850nm Near-Infrared: It penetrates deeper into the tissues, promoting blood flow and potentially aiding in muscle recovery and deep tissue repair.  Both of these wavelengths are present in the device I bought. There’s a great podcast with @thegarybrecka on @joerogan where he dives deep into the bio physics of the human body and the benefits of practices like red light therapy: open.spotify.com/episode/3IPGys… Red light therapy basically boosts mitochondria by directly hitting a key enzyme inside your cells called cytochrome c oxidase. When red or near-infrared light penetrates your tissue, it gets absorbed by this enzyme, which frees up electron flow inside the mitochondria. Normally, under stress, nitric oxide clogs up the enzyme and slows down your cell’s energy production. Red light kicks the nitric oxide off, allowing your mitochondria to breathe and make ATP again — basically recharging your cells from the inside out. Anecdotally I have seen a massive improvement in my vision after just two or three weeks of usage of the red light device and I have felt significantly more energy during the day when I use the device in the morning.. the one downside is that the slightly sped up metabolism makes me hungrier and burns a few more calories passively since my energy is higher. My bathroom at night now has a red light and I also have the aforementioned device in my bedroom which I shine on my torso with my shirt off before bed. Our modern hyper digitized world is awash in exclusively blue light, which is completely unnatural (and unhealthy) for both the human body and the human eyes. The red light simply brings you back into balance.

The Department of Education gets a 15% cut? Not enough. We’ve spent $3T on the department since 1980 and: -college is more expensive -average SAT scores have declined -child illiteracy has increased My mother used to work as a counselor at a community college , and I can say with certainty that the system is filled with fraud and waste. We don’t need 1 million administrators to manage our educational system. image

The Canadians are nice. Too nice. That’s why they are slowly being led to the slaughter. Wake up, Canada. Another central banker wants to rob you of everything you have. And Canadian Boomers, no tears. You voted for this. image

I just started reading Dao of Bitcoin by @Scott Dedels I did not expect to see the intersection between eastern philosophy and bitcoin, but as I think about it more and more, I can see the deep connection between these two. Highly recommend you give it a read! (This is not sponsored) image

A lot of people said that they loved the subject of this podcast, the CIA’s Stargate Project and classified government research into psychic capabilities. Would you like more content like this? Even though it’s off the beaten path for my typical subject research? Gateway+ Psi Abilities, Frequencies, Religion/Spirituality, all of this is interesting to me but not sure if my followers want my take on it 🤔 View quoted note →

the divide over the US stock + housing market is generational. the boomers see a market correction as the end of their retirement plans, while the millennials and Gen Z see it as bringing prices back down so they can afford houses and stocks. boomers should understand that helping Millenials + Gen Z is literally the key to the future of this country

Gold is outperforming Bitcoin in the last year, which should surprise almost everyone.. But zoom out and it isn’t even close. Peter Schiff in shambles 😂

$DXY is falling, and dollar bears celebrate, not knowing that a weaker dollar paradoxically actually strengthens the system. How? Here goes: -there's tons of dollar debt that exists in offshore markets known as the eurodollar system. exact figures on this are hard to parse apart, but it's easily in the hundreds of trillions of dollars if you include off-balance sheet assets. -the system started in the early to mid 1950s in the aftermath of WWII and the Marshall Plan. A UK Bank (Midland) began creating dollar deposits at high interest rates to attract capital. the market quickly grew to encompass all of Europe and then moved to Africa, Asia and Latam. By 1982, it was already at $1T in size (not adjusted for inflation!) -the dollar debt is created by foreign banks creating eurodollar loans to local entities like mining companies, oil producers, car manufacturers, etc. -these dollar liabilities are serviced with non-dollar income usually (meaning income in their local currency) that they have to swap into dollars to pay the debt -therefore, a lower DXY (weaker dollar) means that these debts are more serviceable, which allows corps to pay off debt and if they want acquire even MORE dollar debt -this means the debt system grows, and with it future demand for dollars- reinforcing the very system that the bears think is DYING. -as the dollar weakens it also is easier for these third world countries to use USD as a settlement mechanism, since their own domestic currency buys more USD comparatively -while the US does face a massive economic and fiscal crisis, so does everyone else- and the key differentiating factor is that the Dollar is the only currency with EXTERNAL DEMAND -this leads to TINA doctrine- There Is No Alternative. No other fiat can compete with the dollar as a payment mechanism. BRICs is a loose confederation of states that can barely agree on border disputes, much less ownership + management of a multi polar commodity backed currency! -if the dollar spikes, this leads to a crisis where more and more sovereigns see their currencies depreciate and in order to get their hands on dollars they have to print even more, which weakens their currency further -DXY soars upwards in a devastating feedback loop until dollar liquidity is restored. the Fed has shown its willingness to create dollar swap lines to bail out other global CBs -this is the devastating "dollar milkshake" that @SantiagoAuFund talks about. It is a feature, not a bug, of the structure of our current system- and it will only die if the entire system dies as well, which ironically inflicts more immediate pain on the countries trying to ditch the dollar first. image
