Those fears are valid but those solutions are comical. The real solutions are much harder 🥲

Very interesting critque. Though the attempts to unify people, often get find out as shams, and end up splintering people into what Joseph Campbell called "Anticults". The solution, he says, is to create something global in scope that is grounded in reality (rather than feel-good marketing), and teaches people as they go along.

yawn this cycles every 5 to 10 years. - do this diet - it's a craze, people get bored and stop spending on it - do this stupid exercise because you have to buy stuff to support it, people get bored and stop spending on it rinse repeat. the crazes of today are the same as the crazes of the 70s 80s 90s 2000s 2010s, they just get a slight modification, a new name and branding and the 🐑 go for it because 'all their friends' are doing it meanwhile those of us just doing the tried and true mundane diet and execise quietly stay healthy and laugh at the fools doing hyped up things that are so extreme that they are unsustainable long-term... almost no one I meet who parrots the crazes of the day has any clue what the point of it is, how it supposedly works, or why they are doing it. another one you could add is people who spend thousands of $ on new workout clothes before they attempt to drop 50+ pounds most of what OP said are running jokes on mon, wed, fri when my husband and i workout with our PT who doesn't take supplements 🤣 It's all marketing and lies that work by people copying each other to 'fit in' or 'keep up to date' when in reality it's just the same shit again and again. #rWord

The solution that makes you healthy and kills you at the same time, over and over, for years and years? Have kids and try to keep up. Lol. An aside, mine broke my nose twice last year while playing.

This is true and false. There are chemical compounds killing us. Worrying about it is not the answer. Rationally mitigating the best we can in peace is the answer. This is true of prepping, Bitcoin security, privacy mitigations… anything good can be obsessed on and destroy us.

I thought you were a communist now? Back to being a rugged individual again?

Excellent post. I too have had quite enough of the self-improvement culture. Eat a balanced diet, exercise in moderation, work hard, and call it a day. People make things too complicated!

100% nailed it. Pussies

religion of one they are not

Fear is a liar.

Yeah why would you want to remove the poisons from your life that leave you feeling sick and fatigued? And why would you want to make other lifestyle changes that leave you feeling vitalized and healthy? It makes no sense 🤷‍♀️

Trust God, eat meat, drink water, get sleep, and most importantly, spend meaningful time with family and friends. That’s all it takes!

Damn so doing a bit a cardo before 6am is part of the grift? And here i thought I was burning fat with fasted cardio

The are trying to destroy you in every way possible

Lol
