That's a very good point which I totally agree with, and also why martial arts and controlled sparring can be extremely beneficial experiences

>bruises from childhood heal in weeks where verbal assault from childhood (e.g. by an abusive parent or teacher, as well as by peers) can still be hurting decades later with wider knock-on effects.

That's like saying physical damage from a rape will heal in weeks but verbal sexual harrassment can still be hurting decades later.

Yes, those countries indeed have a history rich with arrogant authoritarianism. Those laws are a literal recognition of that fact.

Hiding from reality via censorship sets one up for even greater harm and suffering, because they never have a chance to build up their mental strength and armor that they will need in the real world.

Like never letting your child ever ride a bike without training wheels.

It's a form of agoraphobia.

Kevin Hart talks about the fact that no one can insult or harm him with words because of the initiative gauntlet he went through to become a comedian.

>Should harming people with words be separate from harming people with actions?

Have you ever been physically assaulted, punched in the face, had your ribs broken, or been put in a strangle hold?

Keep it simple. Experiment incrementally and find out what works for you. Pay close attention to your body and cut out what it doesn't like.

What has been working for me lately is:

1. Eating one big meal and perhaps a small snack later all within a 4-6 hour window; also do a 24 hour fast about once a week. This has eliminated my acid reflux, helped me gain more energy and focus, and have never slept better.

2. Cut out 95% of my sugar and carb intake, also cut out dairy as I seem to have a mild intolerance/allergy to milk which I indentified from performing an elimination diet experiment. This has helped me eliminate various forms of skin inflammation which I had been suffering from for years. Also cutting out sugar has helped me tremendously with emotional balance and equanimity.

3. Eat primarily whole unprocessed foods

I stick to a few simple meals such as:

-Scrambled eggs with onion, garlic, peppers, salt, cumin

-Steak cooked in ghee and oven roasted veggies (brussel sprouts, green beans, carrots)

-Oven baked fish and veggies

-Occasional small amounts of low sugar fruit after rigorous exercise

My typical snacks are:

-Hemp and chia seeds mixed into almond butter and pinch of salt

-Bell pepper and hummus

-A handful of mixed nuts

I also supplement with wild alaskan salmon fish oil, for the omega 3 fatty acid

What types of meat? Any organ meats?

Indeed.

Do you think extrapolating that governments and corporations may use a universal digital ID for mass surveillance, from the proven fact that governments and corporations work together to perform mass surveillance, is within that limit of valid speculation?

>Cheese: a food made from the pressed curds of milk

What a classic, I remember when people would call you crazy for claiming that governments were working with corporations to perform mass domestic surveillance

I'm in the US and have never had my ID scanned like that person is claiming
