Trainspotting. Mark Renton gets up early in the morning, hung over. Drinks a glass of water. Then, grabs the bag of cash from his sleeping friends arms and heads out, possibly to start a new life without drugs & crime. Trainspotting also has the best soundtrack!

Sparrow. Its complex, but it doesn´t make any choices for you. You learn a lot while using it.

Here is the second blog post by the founder of atai Life Sciences, published today: What psychedelics and Bitcoin have in common In short: Both stand for freedom

I have posted my own thoughts on this recently: 877770

Inspiring read! Made me think of bitcoin meetups. People get together who have one thing in common: Their interest in bitcoin. But other than that they often hold very different views. I remember a woman who tried to convince me the government dumbing down the population with chemtrails and I was getting really annoyed with her. This article contains some good advice for these kinds of situations.

I definitely agree on the dark chocolate! And food in general. Investing in good, healthy food literally buys you time.

Probably all of the above. But mostly because many doctors are overworked and it is the easy way out for both. For the patient because he doesn't have to change his lifestyle, for the doctor because the patient shuts up and leaves, because: hey, if the doctor says so it must be right. Moreover, pharma companies probably sugarcoated the addictive potential (as was the case with oxycontin)

Interesting read. These things tend to be more extreme in the US, in europe doctors are much more careful with the prescription of these types of drugs. Same with opioids, europe has been mostly spared by the opioid epidemic.

lol how fucking incompetent can one be. I expect to see more of this shit over the coming 4 years.

When Skyrim came out I was alone and had a free week. I would get up in the morning, smoke a bong and dive into exploring the world until late at night. Probably ate something in between and smoked a second bong. Truly magic gaming memories.

I am really looking forward to see what will happen to Strategy during the bear market.

Great habit, will follow your example

Weed. I stopped smoking it years ago but still love the smell.

Pretty important. I try to eat berries every day, they are rich in antioxidant polyphenols. I also take two antioxidant supplements:

Banned books? What year is this? 1939?

I just had to rhink of native americans sitting around a fire, discussing: "should we allow these white dudes to live on our land? What is the worst that could happen?"

I agree, thats also my main point of criticism. Nobody bothers to comment on older posts or reanimate older discussions

There is a blog post by the founder of atai Life Sciences: https://christianangermayer.substack.com/p/why-bitcoin-can-be-a-valid-part-of

It´s worth reading! He makes the point that especially for drug developing companies Bitcoin is a great tool. Development of a new drug usually takes around 10 years. During this time the company doesn´t earn anything but sits on tons of cash from investors that is being devalued by inflation. I especially like this take:

"...if there’s one constant in life, it’s that there will always be some degree of political mismanagement."

Cool, they are working on psychedelics for the treatment of mental disorders.

Would have been great to have a few more years to get the supply decentralized into more hands before governments get involved though

I think conspiracy theories are mostly retarded and a distraction. Most of them are absurdly far fetched and people spend hours "researching" them instead of doing something useful. In the end, this is wasted time because it´s impossible to prove or disprove most of it. On top of it, it´s probably unhealthy because while doing their "research" people get all riled up and stressed. And for what?

There was an interesting post in the science territory on association between poor sleep quality and conspiratorial beliefs: 919840

The physicist Robert Grimes developed a model to calculate the probablity of a given conspiracy theory to be true. The model is based on historical examples of exposed conspiracies. It probably has its limitrations, but might be fun to run the numbers on your favorite theory:
