Oddbean new post about login | logout To add even more: all tested for many years on me, and works like a charm. To add to the health concerns, and actually that explains why those health hazards exist, there is also a moral side of the business: It is OK to kill your food, whatever it is, an animal, a plant, a seed, an egg. But it is not OK to limit anybody's and anything's freedom even a slightest bit, including animals and even plants. So if the cow did not come from the woods ininvited and did not bring the milk to you in a bowl, did not put her nipple into your mouth, and you did not find the milk somewhere in nature in some sort of pool or nest, the milk is not OK, because it is obtained by abusing the animal. Same as it is not OK to keep any animal fenced nor catching a wild pig, cutting of one of its muscles for your food and letting it go. The same with milk. Babies have it, others don't have it.
The natural world doesn't work this way. If you wait your pray to come in your mouth you will be dead soon. This is valid for all the predators and all the herbivores that eat plants that are alive too. And so on.
So you are confirming what I wrote. It is fine to kill, it is not fine to enslave.
Well... do you know any living being that is not enslaved here?
I’m not enslaved 🤷♂️
I'm quite free, more than he majority of the population. Still I need a passport to travel and money just to keep my properties. Even if I'm quite good at keeping my time for myself I cannot decide 100% to be by myself because there are no remaining places on this planet without rules
So rules mean we are enslaved? Y’all’s definition of freedom must differ from mine. I’m saying i am as free as i can be within the constructs of society
The issue is this is not the construct of the society anymore. Everybody can agree that this framework makes almost impossible for regular people to enrich themselves while keeps rich in their spot. Is more like a caste system than a set of rules for the well being of the population.
Rules that could be avoided only by very exceptional individuals in the population, like less than 0.1% population, are enslavement. Or more like overpopulation. But enslavement of people is a whole new topic. I just want to eat and observe free animals.
That’s a grim outlook to think 99.9% of population is wnslaced. But to each is own 🤷♂️. I eat and observe free animals, it’s called hunting in Wyoming 🤝👊
As long as this is all you want to do, and you do not have to do things you do not want, you seem to be free. But it is also a little bit about what those wants are exactly. For instance my brother thinks he wants to go to doctor and eat pills because they save him from his fate, and that sickness is a given, like fate. Of course he has his explanation why I am healthy. That is because firstly I am lucky and have genes of an uncle of a grandma who is also said to have been healthy. And I was always physically better built. And that because as a child (when we both ate the same rubish) I was the one who was more sick, so I got immunity to everything as an old man. And he will not even try any of my diets, because reducing plant and milk contents in his food will kill him, given his already poor health. And doctor's pills are sacred, of course. AND, he also wants to fight Russians. Because russians have always tried to enslave lithuanians. Except the russians he knows personally, of course. Those are all nice people and excellent engineers, but all those other russians that he does not know, are bad as they have always been. Of course, he wants to drive under speed limit, wear mask, isolate and vaxx when told, pay taxes, and all that. And he will die defending all these countless freedoms that he has. He is nothing special, just like everybody outside Nostr. On Nostr people are not as much lost as those outside, but still. You can't be paranoid enough about what it is you think is true and what you think you want. That is what Buddha essentially taught, and he was right. 2500 years ago.
It certainly does. Do you recognize society in my brother here?: nostr:nevent1qqsvz0vmlallw5w54yxspurjlc7gyujcvln3wdumsv75v92psmkhhvgpz3mhxue69uhkummnw3ezummcw3ezuer9wcpzqdrsakhr3uyapj327w6g8gp39hwh82sswhyfutnewaew85lcgq5kqvzqqqqqqys04c5x
No idea where this went. Don’t seem to disagree on much of it tho? I’m a clean eater and no seed oils, not religious, felon so have had rights taken from be but obtained them back, and I am free in my choices, day to day, and I’m at peace rn, I hope your health gets better tho, any ways I can help let me know 🤷♂️🫂🤝🫶👊
Yup, @calimike is not enslaved, most insects, foxes, bears, mooses, bores, snakes, birds, fish. Not enough wild food for all people, but that is why you need to be rich, and why we do not need that many people if we want everyone to be rich.
