how do you know it was 2kg?


I dont, I just threw out a random noise to represent "it". I can try some other words, I pooped, say twice as much as I normally poop in a day, for 2 days. Ish, maybe.

The surprice of pooping out really dark, hard, smelly stuff after haven not pooped a gram for 10-12 days prior to that might influense the "2kg of black stuff" sort of "wraaaahhh" expression

OH it wasn't all at once

It seems to be not very profitable in the long run to play those kind of hands. - Gus Hansen

wait why would you be fasting to lose weight, thats quite unsustainable, you ll just gain it back once you start eating again

Not if you started to eat plants instead of fried chicken, potatoes with gravy, and ice cream.

Only if you eat the same crap as you did before the fast.

After a fast its excellent to start the new healthy diet regime you always wanted to implement. Its going to taste very good and the old bad habits seems to be totally forgotten.

Kudos to people who can change their diets by going cold turkey instantly and make that last indefinitely

I'm not one of them
Going with slow long term removal of bad things one by one
and substituting them with better ones

e.g. now I don't eat sweets no matter what
And started juicing
It's wayy easier on willpower that I use for poker instead, keep at it during e.g. downswings

And should actually bring a lasting change

93% Sure!

I lost 3kg from fasting and got down to around 75kg. the rest will come easy.

i read the selfish gene actually, and it was interesting although i already knew the central thesis of the book. I don't really hold any ideas to be dear. You really don't need to lecture me on dogma and science.

You keep stressing the importance of technology but it's a double edged sword. the biggest issues today are political/economic organization and structure, technology is always improving and can be used to hinder the boring aspects of life, but the serious problem today is politics, getting people to go to war or put pressure on the rich, if we want a human civiliazation that lasts.



I like the idea, of thinking extremely long term, and sustainably. If everyone on earth lived the way we New Zealanders / Americans / Europeans already do, it would bring environmental catastrophe, not utopia. China has been straightforwardly copying the west, burning ever more coal, in ever more factories. Now that chinese peasants can enjoy a secure supply of calories, they want more of them to come from pork, instead of just gain. You know that you personally are &quot;the rich&quot; in this context right. 2/3 of the planet lives on less than $2 per day. You are at least 10 times richer than most people on earth. Why not let them stay in your house and eat your food? that would be the fair thing to do. If we successfully pressure the rich to &quot;redistribute&quot; wealth it will lead to ruin, not utopia. Rather it is better to put pressure on the rich to use their wealth to create the new technologies that will be needed in the far future for abundant clean energy, food, and health. Same as it ever was, the value-generating technological innovations that allow the average person today to enjoy more than a berry-picker struggle for survival before dying of urinary tract infection, come from (semi) rich people - the smart, or those who had smart parents, those who are freed from hard labour, which allows them to tinker on curiosities that people locked in the brute struggle for survival couldn't dream of. And that is why you personally don't give away everything you have to walk-the-talk of your own principles: you believe you can create more value for the world by having your current freedom of being rich, and inventing new ideas. There have always been rich people, Crassus in Rome is still the richest man in history(inflation adjusted), somehow the world went on. No amount of envy could stop the real engine of progress, which was free trade and technological innovation.

You're worried that there are now technologies so powerful that they could destroy humanity? But anything that could fully regulate these technologies globally would have to be a new technology itself. Something like how bitcoin manages to do global trustless consensus around money. So really, you want to develop the new technology that will incentivese people away from any mistake that could destroy the earth? It would have to be at least 10 times better than any currently existing political system. Only technology can create the new, unexpected value to radically improve a situation. Talking, moral harping, and zero-sum conflicts will not.

I'm doing 20 hour fasts from 16 (which was way easier). Around close to 1pm (window) I do feel light-headed and needing nourishment lol

My dad does 36-72h fasts about once a week, and follows up by loading up on daily nutritional requirements for the rest of the week. I am not sure if its ideal, his health is great for his age, but I would rather see him fast once or twice a month.

In regards to online poker, yeah it's very anti-social, I don't think theirs anyway to overcome that feeling, I started playing live poker twice a week, the hourly is less but it's a better balance. The only problem for me is If I don't play online poker consistently I end up losing some of my edge and I would find it very hard to play online by only putting in 10-20h a week.

the weather is shit too, I want to leave ASAP to the States, why am I even playing live poker in Canada? I will probably drive down to Florida next month and stay somewhere for a month near a good casino and grind harder.
