TFS 10 – Real Multiculturalism, Sleepy Aliens, and Manufacturing Consent

 


Today we consider the scientist approved notion that Cthulhu may in fact be real and cyborg. (See links) I also play one of the 1.5 jigs I know to spice up the conversation I’ve wanted to have about real multiculturalism. The third major topic is Chomsky and Herman’s “Manufacturing Consent.”

TFS 8 – Feng Shui, O and A Origins, and talking Talking Heads


As I swing in right after a major organizational effort I introudce Mr. Money Moustache’s concept of hedonic adaptation somewhat (eh..) accurately. I then go on to discuss the participation trophy trope and how puzzlingly popular it remains among right wing blowhards. I then launch into a wholesale investigation of blowhards (ok I’m giving myself too much credit but I get a good peek into the world of hot air) and blowhardiness in general.

Who the fuck cares what Joe Rogan is reading?

Wednesday Health Vlog: Rogue Health and Fitness, Insulin Resistance, and Fitness Attitudes


In this video I talk about a website that I think provides excellent advice for staying healthy as you age, and staying healthy in general.

The key ideas repeated throughout the articles found there are: the benefits of resistance training, insulin resistance, the many evils of sugar, hormesis, the benefits of fat/protein, and the wonders of intermittent fasting/autophagy.

I then do a breif discussion about how people’s attitudes and lifestyles keep them from feeling astronomically better.

I’ve been in all sorts of shape. Fat, skinny, chubby, and athletic. When you’re in each one you forget the others pretty quickly. So you don’t know how crazy good your performance, mood, and acuity can be.

Check out P.D. Mangan’s site for more info: https://roguehealthandfitness.com/how-to-lower-your-biological-age/

I’ve heard a lot of this emerging knowledge also being promoted by Joe Rogan and his various guests over the years. Which certainly helps the credibility as Joe is an athlete who constantly interacts and trains with athletes and many of his guests are scientists and doctors.

Historical Oddities Tuesday: Meiji Era a Case Study in the Dangers of Neo-traditionalism


While researching the Shindo Renmei, which was for all intents and purposes a Shinto terrorist group in Brazil, during WWII  – I stumbled across the following article:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/242494954_The_Failed_Prophecy_of_Shinto_Nationalism_and_the_Rise_of_Japanese_Brazilian_Catholicism

Which describes the transition from Shintoism to Catholicism of the migrants. What I extrapolated from this for the purposes of this unfortunately necessarily surface level video is that when cultures feel under threat they can have allergic reactions with catastrophic consequences.

I then tie this observation to some troubling trends in the present.

TFS 6 – Canned Experience, Language and Inclination, You are the “Audience”


HD and beyond bring a level of immersion that destroys a barrier we might have been better off keeping. Do world languages shape cultures and the capacities of the people that comprise those cultures. When creating for an audience remember that the audience is really your own conceptions. Don’t worry too much about pleasing your own conceptions. Your audience will thank you.

TFS ~ Beer is Healthy! – The Economy Ain’t?! – Muh Russia… (Vlog)


TFS (The Fractal Standard) is a daily show that I decided to launch today.

Summary

Beer contains a wide variety of helpful things. Things like the bitter acid, humulone, which offers hope for fighting respiratory infections. Bitter acids are also generally known for anti-inflammatory effects.

In other news there is only a 7% correlation between GDP and the S&P 500! We’re literally running on hot air! But it’s working? For now…?

So, I’m just chillin listening to some Rogan pocast and boom suddenly Russia is an epicenter of pessimism!

I, of course must respond, as the sheer volume and frequency of random fingerwagging and ignorance, towards my country of origin grows exponentially!

Hugh J Lee even!
