Realistic Hope (Doom Binge Made Me Gain 3kg)

You may have noticed I've been on a doom binge. I get a thrill from bad news. It's impulsive. Little packets of dopamine.

But doomer shit does make me lose hope, and then I tend to live for the moment, drop my discipline, and I gained 3kg in two weeks. I can feel it around my waste.

We need hope. But realistic hope. We will have to sacrifice. Not try to save our lifestyle. Nevermind, reality will force us to shrink. The sooner, the better.

Bad things will happen. Things will get uncomfortable. But we can build a low footprint society, where people are happy anyway.

Eat mostly plants. https://veganhealth.org/

Drink tapwater.

Go carfree.

Have small families.

Don't fly.

Co-house to share the heating/cooling and your joy and sorrow.

Live sober and minimalist.

Embrace the struggle. Accept discomfort. Face reality.

Give to charity. Your money decides what people do. Will they make cocktails, or preserve nature? Your choice.

Make friends. Make love. Dance. Talk. Play music. Play boardgames. Go for a walk. Sit in silence.

Happiness wasn't invented by Steve Jobs. We don't really need all these toys. We need love, community and a living planet.


peace 🧡✌️🌱

Short Guide To A Healthy Plant Based Diet

A Plant Based Diet is not a Vegan Or Vegetarian Diet. On a Plant Based Diet you get most of your nutrients from plants but allow for a small amount of animal products. ❗️Don't get your nutrition advice from randos like me. Instead, for advice on eating Plants, check out this FREE website:  https://veganhealth.org/ If you want to skip the whole explanation, and just know what you have to do: click here for a guide to a complete vegan meal.  Though I would recommend that you inform yourself thoroughly. Fact check this post with reputable sources. I recommend some science based sources at the end of this post. Don't fall for quacks, but you need to immerse yourself in science, to recognize the quacks. If they are selling supplements, or say "everything you learned is wrong", or sell conspiracies about the food pyramid... they are probably full of manure. The following is a great resource for health related topics:  https://www.mayoclinic.org/ Click here  for a breakfa...

Johnny Belgium’s Psychedelic Trip Guide (updated)

I started doing psychedelic drugs late in life at the age of 27 and I regret not doing them sooner. They saved me. I had a miserable life before psychedelics. I was anxious, depressed and antisocial. I was a recluse without a friend in the world. I was arguing with people in my head all day long at work, triggered by stuff on TV. I was a psychological mess. And my first LSD trip was like 20 years of therapy in one afternoon. Click here to read about my 'breakthrough' first acid trip. I have done lots of LSD and some Mushrooms. I haven’t done DMT, Ayahuasca, Mescaline,... LSD is my vice. I did MDMA twice and it made me very relaxed but also it made me very sick the day after. People often get depressed after taking XTC. I also recommend staying away from uppers or downers and sticking to psychedelics. No cocaine, no speed, no benzos or opiods like heroin or fentanyl, ... They are not good drugs. They will eff up your life. Stick to tripping if you are going to partake in drugs. ...

Stop Your Addiction With Mindfulness

Our gut and brains evolved for hundreds of millions of years in nature. Civilization has created hyperstimulating products that hijack our primitive reward system. For instance. We are programmed by evolution to seek out salt, fat and sugar. So corporations make products loaded with those. We are programmed to achieve goals, so corporations make video games. We depend on others in nature, with social media we can connect to everyone in the world. And organizations, legal or otherwise, sell drugs that chemically trigger a reward directly, like alcohol, tabacco, cocaine or weed. Sometimes an addiction can be productive. Like a work addiction, an exercise addiction or an addiction to optimizing your diet for health. But productive addictions can also lead you down a harmful path.  Dopamine is the motivation chemical. It actually releases in anticipation of something exciting. You get your first hit of dopamine before your behavior. Another name for addiction is habit-forming. When you...
