i should start by saying that i am in the category that thinks that alzheimers and dementia are largely the consequences of exposure to pollution, rather than a genetic mistake. the genetic hypothesis has been thoroughly debunked, except in the most specific of circumstances, which account for very few cases, and it's not even clear that these specific cases can even be called "alzheimer's". while alzheimer's is a disease of dna, it is environment that is the overwhelmingly dominant factor here, not inheritance. so, this needs to be taken very seriously. the extent to which aluminum plays a role in this may be less than other pollutants like lead and mercury, but aluminum exposure is not something that should be trivialized.

the fact of the matter is that aluminum has no value to human health; it is either useless or harmful, and the bounds around that are still coming down. there's no value in taking risks with it, no cost-benefit analysis - it's all cost, no benefit. public health departments, funded by corporate or financial interests and ultimately driven by the investment logic of the ruling party, may try to tell you that certain exposure levels run minimal risks, but why contort your mind into that sort of logic? why decide that something's probably ok because the evidence that it may harm you has been decided to be inconclusive or remains ambiguous, generally by the same people that would be financially harmed by regulatory regimes? i'd rather flip the logic over, if it's with my own health, thanks - i expect you to prove that aluminium is safe if you insist on a hands-off approach, not argue that it's not worth regulating because the evidence for harm remains spotty or inconclusive. that's the logic of capitalism, not the logic of science - and it is the logic of backwardsness. the science is very clear that it is harmful in some amount, but if they are wrong, it can only harm you more than they think it does. why bring this logic of casino capitalism into your health decisions? why take the risk?

the stuff is bad news; stay away from it.

cursory research initially presented a contradiction; while it is stated that most aluminum is removed via the kidney, it is also quantifying that amount as less than 30 micrograms (27-30 was the number brought up in the reports). yet, strawberries are presented as a low-aluminum food - and said to have 300 micrograms in a small serving. so, how do i cut through this?

the answer is supposedly that bioavailability is only .1%. so, of that 300 micrograms, you only absorb .3 - a hundredth of what is removed via kidney function. ok. what's the evidence for that?

The oral bioavailability of the aluminium ion in humans and experimental animals from

drinking water has been estimated to be in the range of 0.3%, whereas the bioavailability of

aluminium from food and beverages generally is considered to be lower, about 0.1%. However,

it is likely that the oral absorption of aluminium from food can vary at least 10-fold depending

on the chemical forms present. Although the degree of water solubility of an aluminium

compound appears to increase the bioavailability of the aluminium ion, the presence or absence

in the intestines of dietary ligands may either increase (e.g. citrate, lactate, and other organic

carboxylic acid complexing agents, fluoride), or decrease the absorption (e.g. phosphate,

silicon, polyphenols). 

https://www.herbalix.com/assets/EFSA_Study_-_European_Food_Safety_Authority.pdf

so, that potentially takes the absorption up to 3%, and as much as 9 micrograms from those strawberries. that's very bad.

at 3% absorption, x*.03 = 30 <---> x = 30/.03 = 1000 micrograms = 1 mg.

at 1% absorption, 30/.01 = 3 mg

at .3%, 30/.003 = 10 mg

at .1%, 30/.001 - 30 mg

so, this is a big range - 1-30 mg. 

but, that number - 27-30 micrograms - does not appear to be right. what it seems to be is one measure of average excretion that was mispresented to me in the initial source; i've since seen those numbers fluctuate from 5-150. what i want to know is how much your body can process. i mean, this is about rates, right? you can't avoid it, so how do you minimize it to the point that you're able to flush almost all of it out almost immediately? and, while i get there's a range, even finding the range would be useful.

unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be where the science is, and i guess i can understand that trying to test that question may be difficult on the test subject. looking through the literature, what exists are various measurements of where people are at, rather than any load testing - and, on second thought, i guess it's obvious why that is. some measurements exist here:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2782734/

that said, there is one method that approximates load testing, and that has to do with dialysis patients, who lose the ability to excrete aluminum on their own. for them, toxicity begins to build up around 50-60 µg/L. given that there's more than 4.5 L of blood in your body, 4.5*50 = 225 µg is a low ball of how much your body can actually process per meal.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5725a4.htm

even if your body can remove 225 µg of aluminum per meal with ease, that doesn't say anything about how much you're transporting to your brain or your liver in the process of doing so. so, this shouldn't be looked at as a "safe amount". rather, i'm going to take a hard line on this - there isn't a safe amount. you should be aiming for as little as possible, and constantly seeking to eliminate whatever you can't yet avoid. aluminum exposure for all living humans should be negligible to zero.

why don't i take a look at what i'm actually consuming, first, and then try and work it out further from there?

because i can't find any data, and the data i can find is all from foreign countries, which isn't useful. i need to know how much aluminum is in soil from california & mexico, mostly - not countries like india or china.

the reason this is important for an anti-nutrient like aluminum is that plants don't regulate for it or seek it, like vitamins or other nutrients, they just absorb it by accident. while all uptake is a function on the soil, you can say things like "strawberries are high in vitamin c" because the strawberries themselves assemble the vitamin c in their bodies. nobody assembles aluminum. nobody wants aluminum. and, any living thing at all gets rid of aluminum as fast as it can. so you can't say that a specific food item contains a specific amount of aluminum; any plant at all would be better off with no aluminum at all. it's only there as a function of pollution, or bad soil. data from other countries is consequently precisely useless to me, in context - i need specific data for the specific country i'm sourcing actual food from. i'm not going to compile aluminum data from soils in africa and asia in this space and pretend it has any relevance in understanding what my personal intake is.

the fact is that i can't find this information right now and i'm moving on.

water:

there's an abstract in this collection (#21) that pulls out an upper range of (.15 + .1 = .25) mg /L

http://publications.gc.ca/collections/collection_2020/eccc/en39/En39-51-1997-eng.pdf

=====================

the ideal target consumption for aluminum is 0. but, what are the upper limits i should be pushing down?

this is from a very thorough study that i cite a few times in this write-up:

It should be noted that the exposure level of concern estimated here for aluminium in drinking water (100 μg/L) suggests that absorption of 6.9 × 10-6 mg/kg-day aluminium is of concern. If that is the case, then exposures associated with food intake (uptake of 1 × 10-4 mg/kg-day) or inhalation (1.7 × 10-5 mg/kg-day) would also be of concern (see Table 26). 

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2782734/

going back to table six and back-converting,

0.0023*50 = 0.115 mg = 115 μg

.12*50 = 6 mg

============================

6.115 mg = 6115 μg

that's on the low range of the upper limits, but i think even that is too high. while health authorities suggest average numbers are in the 7-8 mg/day range and intakes over 5 mg per day are safe, this seems far too high given what i can find about renal clearance. a good study on renal clearance is really what i want to see, as a per-meal requirement is no doubt more useful than a per-day requirement, given how your body excretes this. but, i want this number to be under 100/.03 = 3.33 mg per meal, at the very most - probably much lower than that.

so, i'm stuck. right?

but, while i was trying to work this out, i learned that a number of compounds & elements can help remove aluminum from your body:

1) betaine is a general liver cleanser, actually prescribed by hospitals for this purpose:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289078440_Betaine_reverses_toxic_effects_of_aluminium_Implications_in_Alzheimer's_disease_AD_and_AD-like_pathology

2) it's also thought that sufficient iron, calcium & sodium in your diet are likely to minimize aluminum uptake, due to aluminum using these pathways to sneak in:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2782734/

3) zinc has also been shown to clear aluminum, but the studies are only in exceedingly sick people. so, get your zinc rdi, too.

4) silicon seems to react with aluminum directly in stomach acid to form large molecules (aluminosilicates) that cannot be further absorbed. so, silicon should be sought out at a 2:1 ratio to aluminum in diet itself, to minimize uptake.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2782734/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29128442/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22976072/

https://www.nature.com/articles/srep30913

while prevention is always preferable to mitigation, the difficulty of finding useful bounds combined with the ubiquity of this particular pollutant means that mitigation is perhaps the more realistic approach. yes - it would be very useful to know how much aluminum i'm getting, and whether or not i could take a few steps to cut it down. that would be some real market choice. but i'm just going to end up mitigating in the end, anyways, because i can't get rid of it completely.

these are consequently the steps i'm taking, abstractly:

1) get enough betaine & zinc to make sure my liver and brain aren't building up with these sorts of toxins 

2) get enough iron, calcium & sodium to block the aluminum from sneaking in

3) as the problem appears to be soil and air, opt for hydroponic and indoor growing as much as possible

4) measure the amount of aluminum i think i'm getting, then make sure i'm getting twice as much silicon, at the source. this will hopefully catch the aluminum before it gets in. i don't expect it to be that difficult, either.

however, because i can't effectively measure my aluminum intake from food, what i'm forced to do is assume the worst, which would be the average intake over any given meal. that would be 10 mg/meal of aluminum - which i hope i'm nowhere close to, but i should assume is the worst case, because i can't get better data. then, a target of 20 mg/meal (60+ mg/day) would give me twice as much silicon as aluminum, which would maximize the ability to neutralize it in the stomach. if i'm getting less than 4 mg/meal, as i hope i am, that just puts me in that much better shape.

the requirements are consequently:

1) 20 mg/meal

2) 60 mg/day (300%+)

if somebody could give me a list of aluminum sinks in the food web, i'd try to avoid them. but, google "aluminum sinks" and see the obvious useless results from it. i'm done banging my head against the wall with this and want to move on - whether due to ignorance, disinterest or corporate scrubbing, the estimated aluminum contents of essentially any widely available food item in north america is not freely available on the internet, at this time.

so, here's my silicon intake, then:

water:

i get my water from a waterway that is flowing from lake huron to lake erie. the following article explains that the silicon content of the lower lakes has actually been damaged by too much phosphorus:

https://cdnsciencepub.com/doi/10.1139/f86-051

i'm using 1.5 mg/L, which is a lowball that is sourced from this site:

https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPURL.cgi?Dockey=20009PFO.TXT

that is roughly ten times the level of aluminum.

33.4529666667/20 =

1.67264833334--->167%

but, what are the lingering concerns regarding silicon?

first, we should eliminate virtually all of it:

https://nutritionandmetabolism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/1743-7075-11-4

so, if we need a little bit for some of these esoteric functions that we can't pin down, it really is quite a small amount - if the intent is to take it as a purging agent, it should be virtually entirely excreted within 24 hours.

second, as it is excreted so well, it doesn't seem to build up in any meaningful sense.

third, silicon isn't associated with any known diseases, as far as i can tell.

while i don't know how to eliminate any aluminum i may have built up in my brain or other non-liver tissues, i can only hope that attempting to block absorption leads to a decrease in these unwanted stores over time.

& phosphorus - a more conventional addition - is next.

disclaimer:

i've gone to town with a few things - i'm not making up vitamins but rather filling things in. i mean, there's all these "missing vitamin names". what were they, exactly? it also gives me an excuse to work in a few things like choline that are hard to otherwise define as they are essential in some amount but not technically vitamins.

note that these numbers are scavenged and should be interpreted approximately. that's partly why i'm aiming to overshoot on most of it.

- olives?

- red clover (if locatable or foragable, for phytoestrogens)

- alfafa?

- rice bran is similar to sunflower in b5, but lower in omega-6 and lower in choline. also, less e. it would be better if i find myself strictly concerned about b5, but in the pasta bowl. this seems unlikely.

- dried whey is a little lower in both b5 & higher in choline, but also has a little b12 & has almost no fat. it's almost like the missing part of the yeast. i'm having trouble finding it though and don't think the isolate available at bulk barn is comparable. it seems to be largely seen as a waste product in yogurt production. it may be broadly useful across plates.

- broccoli?

as it was in 2008, we largely won't see this in canada. we've had large monthly payouts for some time, now. they may get pushy once the vaccines roll out, and some people may fall through the cracks, but it won't be anywhere near the numbers that hudson is talking about.

but, this is an opportunity for the left, and right when a number of other things are coalescing. masses of unemployed, homeless people that have been cast aside is never a good thing, but this is how we build new systems to exist within.

and, it's up to the people on the ground in cities like detroit to determine what that looks like.

i hope i get a chance to drop by.

it is only when the virus mutates that a real second wave will begin.

this is still round one, really.

so, it's about on schedule to start doing this, right?

let's not forget that it's summer in south africa and winter in the north, right now. it's one of the reasons why arguments about the success of the global south in containing the virus are kind of misleading, at least until the seasons turn. winter has posed some challenges across the north that are, in truth, very flu-like - very familiar.

nobody wants it to do this, of course.

but it's going to mutate. it's broadcasting it.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/mutated-coronavirus-variant-from-south-africa-found-in-u-k-health-minister-says-1.5242866

so, it hasn't been easy to get data for aluminum, either.

but, i can easily get 20 mg of silicon in the fruit bowl and it's almost more important.

something else to consider.

https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/cold-winter-makes-for-high-aluminum-levels-in-ottawas-water

all i can do for now is start adding silica to the water.

but, i think i need out of this region.

if the court cases could hurry up....

see, i've found a study suggesting that surfacewater in this region is over .150 mg/L. the government has a limit of .1 mg/L in additives, for processing.

so, i could potentially be at .250 mg/L in the water, here.

the number in all of the studies as the cut-off risk is .1 mg/L - which is what the government sets as the cut-off for additives.

this city is a retirement destination, too.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2215380/

it's also thought that sufficient iron, calcium & sodium in your diet are likely to minimize aluminum uptake, and i will get that stuff right, regardless:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2782734/

it seems like it's as simple as might be hoped - the silicon just binds with the aluminum and clumps up in your stomach, and prevents it from being absorbed, meaning you then shit it out, instead. great!

better yet, any silicon that gets uptaken into the body should pull some aluminum out with it, using the same reactions in the blood.

this reaction also occurs geologically; aluminum + silicon is a common composition of rocks. so, if you're worried about aluminum in your soil, you could potentially put silicon in it - it's harmless, as far as we can tell.

"as far as we can tell".

what could go wrong, right?

in fact, it seems to be a poorly understood micronutrient. i'm getting there. i wouldn't be worried about silicon and think it looks like it probably makes sense to seek at least as much silicon as aluminum in any given meal.

so, 

- fluorine is good, and potentially a mislabeled nutrient. just don't overdo it. follow the limits.

- aluminum has no use at any concentration and either makes you retarded or at least just builds up with no reason for it. it's at best useless, and at worst deadly. you should try to avoid it as much as possible. but, you can't avoid it...

- i'm still working out the best way to deal with silicon, but it seems to bind with metals in your stomach and flush them out through your anus. there doesn't appear to currently be an understood upper limit for silicon.

that's very stress relieving.

*phew*.

i want to be clear that i'm talking about small amounts of silicon powder in my diet, and that i may even be getting it in my diet, already.

i don't advise injecting or implanting silicon (or silicone) as that could accidentally get high concentrations of it in awkward places.

but, there are studies indicating that silicon will remove aluminum from the body of people with diseases like alzheimer's and ms.

so, how does that work? does silicon build up, itself? what else can i learn about this?

it seems like this is going to be another double post, about silicon and aluminum together...and that understanding aluminum intake should be intrinsically tied into understanding silicon intake.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29128442/

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22976072/

the answer might be silicon.

silicon is not a metal, and does not appear to have any adverse health effects. it may have some benefits for bone & teeth, but that's kind of iffy, still. and, it seems to potentially flush out the aluminum, without harming the iron.

great.

i need to look into this a bit more. but, i could potentially add a dash of silicon to my water and coffee to try to flush me out.

will that also help remove mercury and lead, or just aluminum?

and, no, your ethnicity and/or cultural heritage isn't important, either. that's another conservative idea. leftists neither believe in race nor identity nor ethnicity nor heritage - that's all a bunch of bullshit invented by capitalists to enslave us with.

the family unit is a hierarchical, authoritarian, patriarchal concept that should be thrown in the dustbin of history and replaced with stronger concepts of individual autonomy within a greater collective.

i'm a communist.

i don't believe in family.

like, at all. 

i'm in favour of abolishing the concept of family, altogether. for everybody...

so, this family separation thing strikes me as much ado about nothing, so long as the judicial precedent is being upheld.

and, that's a left-wing argument. again - you're confused. your insistence on upholding family ties is, in truth, very conservative.

that was the fact check memo that the media never got - every single one of these border policies was enacted by obama, many of them in order to uphold existing judicial precedent.

trump barely did anything at the border. like, at all.

besides the travel ban, he tried to reinterpret some precedents regarding child separation. i am not an opponent of child separation - i uphold the existing judicial precedent, which argues that the best interests of the child should be upheld, especially when that means separation. despite what some advocates think, there's currently no legal precedent that argues that taking children out of jail means taking their parents out of jail, too - and i don't think there should be one, either. you can't be encouraging people to get arrested with their kids, like that.

on top of that, when somebody shows up at the border homeless, you don't need a detailed debate to realize their kids should end up in foster homes, and it's been very frustrating to argue with people that don't see the obvious logic in that.

what trump actually tried to do was flip the situation around - he put the kids back in jail to try to speed up the deportation process. and, in the end, the court forced him to knock it off.

that and the travel ban are the only things trump actually did that in any remote way differed from obama, as far as i know and can tell.

these were mostly policies brought in by obama, and one would think that biden would have minimal opposition to the bulk of them.

i can't, off of the top of my head, think of much that trump actually did, except the travel ban. 

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/reversing-trump-immigration-policies-will-take-months-biden-says-1.5242242

and, on the last days of his presidency, we are reminded that trump won the nomination because he was the economic moderate on the ballot.

he's the only one of these idiots that seems to understand that stimulus is good for the economy. it's baffling. really.

so, no - he doesn't care about you. he cares about stock prices. he's just smart enough to figure out that giving people money to spend is good for stocks - and none of the rest of them are.

If humans are directly exposed to, for example, only 0.1% of this potential then our current daily exposure equates to 30 mg of aluminium. On a similar basis our exposure to aluminium would have been 1 mg per day in 1950 and will be 100 mg per day by 2050. 

https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlehtml/2013/em/c3em00374d

there's not a lot of things happening right now.

while the undercurrents of inevitable crushing austerity do remain despite attempts to distract from it, they won't go after businesses, they'll go after poor people. that's how capitalism works.

this?

it's a slow news month. they'll forget about this.

they won't forget about you, though.

you thought it was free money, huh? so naive, you were. you're going to pay five times what they gave you in interest, in the end.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/federal-government-searchable-database-subsidy-1.5852424

one thing i will say, though, is that the fact that i basically don't eat processed food means i don't have to worry about aluminum in additives.

it seems that that would probably be a serious cause of retardation in a large percentage of americans.

they actually do have an unlimited checking account.

and, it's the only one in the whole world, too.

and, should you be worried about the aluminum in vaccines?

yes.

but, depending on the context, you need to weigh it. you certainly don't want to inject yourself with aluminum very often, that's for sure. but, i've been over this a few times - almost everything i'm pointing out has a pro and a con.

so, if you're 90 years old and in sound mental health, you need to toy with it.

- yes, a vaccine could save your life.

- but, no, it's not so great for your brain (or your liver), either.

concern is justified.

fear needs to be weighed.

when i did the fluoride run through, i pointed out that fluoride may uptake various metals into the liver and that sufficient betaine is the best way to clear it out.

if you want to fight aluminum, betaine may be your best trick, as well:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/289078440_Betaine_reverses_toxic_effects_of_aluminium_Implications_in_Alzheimer's_disease_AD_and_AD-like_pathology

this is also interesting, as fluoride is certainly much less dangerous than aluminum:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1617567/

i guess we could always try to find some way to increase elimination rates, if we can't get away from the stuff.

i mean, there's not a better idea.

just realize, for a minute, what your body does with aluminum.

it has no health benefits. at all. plants don't use it, either. and, you can only eliminate it at a certain rate.

do you know what your body does with the rest of it?

it stores it in your fucking brain.

now, you don't need too much schooling to know that storing metallic ions in your brain is a shit poor idea, all around. you don't want to do that - whether it's mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium....or aluminum, either.

we don't need hundreds of supplemental studies, we just need to know what your body does with it and realize immediately that that's the worst idea, ever.

there's still people arguing that aluminum is harmless, too.

the science is pretty clear, at this point - it's dangerous, at some level, and that level is much lower than we used to think, even if we're still working out bounds.

they used to eat mercury - they thought it was a medicine, and an immortality potion. i'm not joking: smart, powerful people at one point used to eat mercury thinking it would give them immortality. the logic was that it had unusual properties, and those unusual properties were tied into this mysticism that existed around magnets, electricity, rocks...

and, it wasn't that long ago that people would laugh at you if you tried to tell them lead was poisonous, too.

again: there's no upside to aluminium, and it's clearly dangerous in some quantity. there's no value in ignoring that, except laziness.

there's almost certainly aluminum in your bottled water, too. sorry. 

no.

way.

out...

well, except the expensive water filtration. that's how you do it...if you can....

so, the levels of aluminum in the surface water here are unusually high as it is, no doubt due to the automotive industry as a primary source. but, then they bombard the water with aluminum to try to clean it up - and, i mean, it's not like i don't get it, but there ought to be something done to filter out the remaining aluminum after, and it seems like there really isn't.

so, you get the heightened background aluminum levels and the aluminum chloride they dump in the water to remove things like lead.

the idea is that the aluminum bonds to the heavier elements and falls to the bottom. fine. but, they're overdoing it in order for it to work. that's the process - you put too much in, and hope it sticks. so, there's necessarily a large excess.

you can get the free chloride ions out with a basic carbon filter. the aluminum requires reverse osmosis, which is a $20K+ system.

otherwise, i'd have to do crazy things like start playing with sulphuric acid.

ugh.

hydroponics are

- healthier in terms of more nutritious food

- healthier in terms of less toxins in the food

- produce less carbon

- don't require pesticide inputs

- can potentially be cheaper, if they can get scaled up.

it's not just the best approach - it's a solution.

which is why nobody wants to do it.

to answer the question: there's a few things i can eat around here that are greenhouse grown, but we need bigger investments into more mature production, and it won't happen so long as you can hire slaves from mexico at a tenth the cost. we'll just keep poisoning ourselves, instead.

but, don't trick yourself into thinking that only certain classes of produce are hydroponically available. it's not true. you can grow carrots & beets & avocados and really anything you want from a hydroponic system. large trees like oranges & bananas may need to undergo some artificial selection before they're ready for indoor breeding, but it's just a size issue.

we need to get our food out of the soil. it's killing us...

i bet you think wheat and mules and bananas are unnatural, too? no?

you only think new technology is unnatural then?

....because you're afraid of it. admit it.

"but, indoor growing is unnatural."

oh, fuck off.

and, no, that little "organic" sticker on your fruit doesn't mean there's not aluminum in the soil.

what it means is that the grower only used pesticides made of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and perhaps nitrogen & sulfur. you might think "organic" means "natural" or "pesticide-free" or something, but that's because you're a horrible ignoramus. "organic" refers to "organic chemistry" and just means "uses a specific type of pesticides, and not this other type".

that actually, generally, means that they have to use more pesticide, because it's less effective than some gmo solutions, like round-up. further, these pesticides are often more poisonous to humans than "inorganic" pesticides, and are every bit as carcinogenic as well, if not more so. benzene, for example, would be considered a highly carcinogenic, organic pesticide - and your organic produce could very well be smothered in it.

so, i don't bother with "organic food". it's a scam.

what i would potentially pay a little more for, if i could, would be locally grown greenhouse produce, both because it's dramatically lower on emissions and because it could potentially avoid using any pesticides at all via proper indoor temperature control, cleaning and sealing. there is simply no way to profitably grow anything outside without pesticides nowadays, and your soil is so filthy that it wouldn't even be worthwhile to try. but, if you take the plants out of the soil and you bring the whole thing inside, then you all of a sudden don't need to introduce these chemicals into the growing process any more.

is it feasible to eat entirely out of greenhouses, here? i dunno...

if i really wanted to minimize the amount of aluminium i'm getting from food, i'd seek out food grown hydroponically, i guess.

and, there may be other good reasons to do that. lots of them...

mr. president,

do you know what the concern about aluminum in the food is?

well?

age related memory impairment.

fuck, if there's something good about a gerontocracy, maybe they could set some stricter limits on stuff like this, anyways?

aluminum has precisely no benefit to human health. it's not a useful byproduct of anything. it's legitimately just useless pollution that should be removed from the fields.

so, it took me a little longer than i wanted, but i doubled over the first bunch of elements, and i think it's ballparked enough. i mean, it's a range. it seems to be about as good as i'm going to get.

i need to read up on aluminum now and, as stated, it's kind of unsettling. it's not even the water that's freaking me out, it's the produce. if it's in the food, how do i avoid it? 

i have one request regarding the people referenced here.

i have intentionally made it either impossible or very easy to identify people referenced here, depending on who you are.

please wait for people to identify themselves, rather than go look for them. some very well might. others probably never will.

that is all.

do you know what these kids are, really?

they're career politicians.

they're just not old enough to have careers, yet.

like i say - i tried to give them a chance, but they've all failed. too slow. can they get out of the way and make space for some people with some experience and initiative, now?

(unfortunately, there's a lot of people that don't remember.)

see, this guy strikes me as far more likely to actually accomplish something - he actually has a resume.

remember when you needed a resume to get a job, rather than just be properly intersectional?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritchie_Torres

i can't prove it. by definition. it's been wiped out, very much on purpose.

but, i suspect that's the answer - that this historical black hole into jewish history that the bible had to fill the role of is a consequence of the carthaginian genocide, and if we had actual records then we might learn that the hebrews and carthaginians were more closely aligned than is currently understood.

i just rant, sometimes, as you can see; these are more just loose ends, bookended thought. i've posted about this more thoroughly, previously.

nnnnnnno, there weren't any jews in carthage, because there weren't any jews, yet.

but, there's this kind of thread throughout history where the romans kind of saw them as at least related. and, if you read between the lines, it's clear enough that the actual source of tension that romans - and so many since - have had with judaism has an ancestral root in the punic wars.

rome really had a fucking hate on for carthage.

no, her argument about people voting for it and then letting mitch mcconnell vote it down isn't the same as the reverse argument, because it's still a vote, at the end of the day. if the intent is strictly to see how people vote, then it's....there's always going to be specific issues in any bill, and people could outright change their mind, so there's really not any way to bank on a previous vote. but, this is going to be an issue in the opposite direction for more members than it is in the positive one; that is, more members are going to find themselves worried about a 'yes' vote following them around when they don't actually support it, if they have any further ambitions in politics. as clear as the polling is, it's also a career destroyer for most democrats. so, it's an argument rooted in a false equivalency - nobody would take that risk, if they weren't willing to accept being labeled as supporting it.

i mean, there's a very good chance that something like this could fail to get 10 votes. but, that would be important to realize - it would just demonstrate the depth of the problem, and the futility of continuing in the party.

actually, i think it's important to debunk this woman so that people stop putting faith in her. that's not to end her, entirely, it's to bring people back to earth and get them being real about it. this is a career politician that has never accomplished anything worthwhile in her life. it's important to see things clearly and take off the tinted glasses.

we don't accomplish things through hope and faith, we accomplish them through hard work and critical analysis.

taking her down a notch is a net benefit.

(as this post appears to have been edited to make it align with arab historical revisionism around the geographical entity that they call palestine, and which everybody else calls israel, by changing the language of a "return" to a language of an "occupation" (something i have changed back, and which is an idea i do not support - i do not agree with the idea that "palestine" is being "occupied" by israel. the label of palestine was created by the romans to remove israel from the map, in a conscious act of genocide. i strongly support israel's continued existence in it's historical homeland and have no sympathy whatsoever for arabs complaining about losing control of an area they conquered with the use of violence in the 8th or probably actually 9th century. this is not their land, and they have no grounds to be angry about losing it. i do agree that israel should be criticzed for mistreating other ethnic groups on land that is rightfully israel's, but i am not on your side if you want to "end the occupation of palestine". rather, i would like to end the occupation of constantinople and potentially liberate alexandria.), i feel the need to clarify that "the return" here refers to a biblical event that occurred during the reign of cyrus II of persia, and not to a process that began after world war two (or earlier than that, if you want to reference zionism, which i think is a half-truth, historically). for what it is worth, there were no arabs in the region until about the year 800 CE, after the roman collapse depopulated the area, and it was repopulated by migratory arab sheep herders moving in from the south. there is no history of arabs in the levant before they invaded after the collapse of roman control over the region. the ethnonym palestinian derives from a roman attempt to rename the region in the process of a purposeful jewish genocide, and refers to the philistines, which were a greek tribe that settled in the region during the bronze age collapse (as one of the "sea peoples" that attacked egypt, c. 1500 bce). when rome inherited the east, it was greek due to the conquests of alexander, and not semitic, which was a substratum in both language and culture. the gospels and pauline letters, which were jewish documents, were written in greek. the earliest buddhist texts were also in greek. so, it is most accurate to label the syrians and levantines of this period as greeks, which at least makes the roman elimination of judea from the maps in favour of the name of an even then ancient greek colony in the region somewhat reasonable. it is true that ancestral semites invaded the region from northeast africa, where they displaced the indigenous caucasian groups, around the year 3500 bce. they first appear in the historical record around 3000 bce, outside of the gates of sumeria, where they slowly take over the sumerian society. by the time of the assyrian conquest of the eastern mediterrannean coast, the people that lived in the region - the ancestors of today's lebanese, jews, syrians and jordanians - were west semitic speakers that had mixed with the indigenous caucasian populations, and not arabs, which had probably only begun to migrate north from yemen.

i have long been concerned about the writing here being edited, and have been struggling to understand who is doing it and why. the aggression and zeal underlying this does not make sense to me; i don't understand why this is seen as so important to whomever is responsible for it. please be aware that i will need to rewrite essentially all of this site (and that i already have rewritten large amounts of it, repeatedly) and that any particular, individual posts on the site are likely to be entirely rewritten in the near future for that reason. do not assume that i will support posts written here - i may very well argue that the post was edited by an unknown party that is hostile to my viewpoints and does not reflect my intent, at the time. should i be challenged in that manner, i will need to rewrite the post in question on the spot in a way that reflects my intent at the time in as best a way as i can reconstruct what my thoughts were. i cannot make general statements about 30,000+ posts when i know that some government entity is altering these posts, with apparent collusion by google. 

regardless of my views on current geopolitics in the levant, there is no possibility that i would have referred to the return of jews from babylon to jerusalem during the reign of cyrus II of persia as an occupation of jerusalem; that wouldn't make any sense. that is not coherent language. yet, that was the language found in this post in august, 2022. that replacement of language (occupation for return) was inserted by the hostile actor and is clearly based on a misreading by the group responsible for the edit, which thought i was talking about the migration of jews to their homeland after world war two rather than the quasi-historical event described in the bible, and helps me understand who they are and what they are trying to accomplish. this is a category of mistake i've noticed a few times - the entity responsible for editing this without my consent frequently misunderstands the historical context being presented, particularly when the issue relates to the levant, which helps me identify edits by their lack of coherency on first read after however long. another example of edits of this sort is a post where language about the iron age collapse (which was c. 1500 bce) was replaced with muslim revisionism about the collapse of the byzantine empire, due to the fact that i didn't specify bce when i said 1500, which confused them into thinking i meant 1500 ce. i did not specify because it was obvious to anybody that understood the post, but that wasn't enough to prevent the confusion. realizing that language intended for the context of the levant in 1500 bce was replaced with muslim revisionism relating to events in the levant around 1500 ce (which was blatantly incoherent, in the context of the post) helped me understand what was edited, by whom and why. reading through the text as it existed, i incoherently shifted from a discussion of the bronze age collapse to a discussion of the fall of rome in a way that just did not make any sense. it was more than the language, it was the shift in context, by somebody that was clearly confused about the dating. i simply can't assign that to an error by myself; there is no way i would have shifted the topic of discussion like that, in a way that makes it clear the author had merely become confused. it couldn't be explained or salvaged in any other manner: the editor read the post, saw the date 1500, misunderstood it as 1500 ce rather than 1500 bce and proceeded to edit in information about the fall of constantinoople in a way that did not make sense in the context of the post, which was about the bronze age collapse. most alarmingly, a reference to the end of the greek dark ages after the bronze age collapse got corrupted because the editor thought i was referring to the european dark ages that occurred after the fall of rome.

the posts that get edited here almost exclusively have to do with justin trudeau and islam; it's these two very specific topics that get targeted, so my best guess is that this is being done in the context of some kind of modern analogue to the historical translation event, which refers to a period where arab religious fundamentalists succeeded in rewriting history by altering the greek sources as they translated them to arabic, and then deleted the original greek. the result was that all that was left in the libraries was altered arab versions of greek classics, as they destroyed the originals, which are now almost entirely lost. then, they have the nerve to take credit for saving the knowledge, after they took control of the libraries by force and changed the content of the books.

i can only guess at what the link between trudeau and islam is, and i have done so elsewhere in this site, while realizing that parts of it have probably been edited. i clearly have no control over this, and the entity responsible is clearly extremely aggressive about it - clearly absolutely obsessed with it. i realize i need to understand this before i can react to it, but i don't even know how to start trying to understand it.

my tactic here is resiliency. i tried editing offline and uploading, but it doesn't seem to help. i actually think people have been in here when i'm showering or sleeping, to update files kept offline. i will outlast justin trudeau's political career, and i'll have to re-evaluate the situation when he's gone. i simply don't know what happens next, but i'd imagine that the next prime minister will have to be less neurotic regarding trivial concerns. i'm going to have to assume this is a consequence of his individual personality defects and that this will therefore lift in time.

this might seem irrelevant to the content of this post, but it isn't - i can only try to figure this out by collecting pieces of evidence like this, where the evidence of editing is clear due to somebody misunderstanding what they're editing. i caught them here. that's not unique, but it's rare.

i don't have any other real choice but to just waiting them out for now, under the expectation that this can't continue, that they will eventually get bored with this and move on.)

judaism, as we understand it, is in truth so overwhelmingly influenced by iranian religion that it doesn't make any sense to speak of it in a pre-zoroastrian context.

judaism gets credit for inventing monotheism, for example, but that relies on the myth that judaism in the region extends back to before the return from babylon (during the reign of cyrus). the archaeological record is clear that the caananites in the region before the captivity were garden variety west semitic pagans, like the phoenicians or carthaginians were. they were really the same people; the sparsely populated settlement around jerusalem was really a phoenecian colony. the people that then entered the region during the reign of cyrus in this quasi-historical event called the return worshipped an iranian sky god, and brought that religion into the region with them, which was a very different type of religion without any previous archaeological record in the area. so, when you understand the history, it's a lot easier to just deduce that the jews adopted monotheism from the zoroastrianism of the persians, and that is probably the actual truth of it, even if it remains hard to disentangle, due to so much corruption in the source, and the fact that the persians didn't leave us any historical record at all - or at least have left us without a single source that survived the islamic conquest. it is said that the persians wrote no history, but i've never been convinced of that.

worse, this whole space of pre-captivity jewish identity falls right into the black hole of carthaginian genocide that the romans carried out after the punic wars.

if there were texts that explained the history, the romans would have burned those texts. and, they would have burned any texts that referenced those texts, or any texts that reference those texts. and, then they would have killed anybody that had read the texts.

carthage, after all, had to be destroyed.

if you can actually put together a public spectacle around the floor vote with artists and musicians and actors, you can be sure that it will spiral out of control from there. you won't be talking about "what next", because it'll just keep coming.

listen, it's not that hard to grasp that a congressperson makes more than server's wages, even if she's still working for tips.

are you offended by this site?

just take my point.

your offense isn't concerning to me. i'm a leftist, and i don't give a fuck about your pc/progressive bullshit. like, at all. i have no interest in your beliefs, your feelings or your values. i just wish you'd stop calling yourself left-wing, that's what gets to me; you're not.

just one more thing about what we've learned from science over the last few decades.

what happened to the jews after the expulsion, anyways? did they go to spain? to iran? to ukraine?

obviously, a few of them left, sure.

but, the science has told us something that the history has obscured - that, in fact, what happened to the largest amounts of jews is that they went nowhere at all. they just stayed put.

and, then they converted to islam.

and, that they're still there - today, we call the true descendants of the jews palestinians.

listen, the science is pretty clear that this whole exodus thing never happened, anyways.

there is simply no destruction horizon in the region that fits the story line, remotely. we can trace the introduction of the philistines (do those phonetics look familiar? they should.) from greece, but the archaeological record presents absolutely no evidence at all of any sort of movement from egypt to the levant at any point close to the accepted chronology in the iron age. archaeologists talk of the region being a sparsely populated backwater, and of a canaanite-phoencian complex that shows remarkable continuity going back to the upper neolithic. 

it's worse than that, though - because the west semitic people that lived in the region for thousands of years before the assyrians, and were descended wholly from canaanites, really were expelled or otherwise slaughtered by the assyrian invasion and occupation of canaan, or south phoenecia (the phoencians did in fact call themselves canaanites; phoenecian is a greek label). hebrew ethnogenesis, as we understand it, really only starts when the persians allowed some other group of people to move into the land, after the assyrians had cleared it out. 

not only was the whole thing probably made up in assyrian-occupied babylon, but there's no evidence that there were any jews before the captivity at all.

that's science, and that's what socialists and the left are supposed to uphold as having primacy, not superstition and legend and ignorance. most jews nowadays are actually strictly secular and atheist and seem to grasp that, which makes them a little different than adherents to the other religions.

"but it was the holy land! not genocide!"

what a crock of fucking shit.

people are just going to get fed up and say "to hell with this".

and, if you listen to the kids, it's already happening.

"you think it's funny to make fun of people for their faith?"

yes!

...dammit....

religion is stupid, and only seems more stupid now than it ever did. how else can you react to stupidity besides ridiculing it? 

so, there's a lid about to blow off of something, very soon. wait for it...

"you can't talk like that anymore"

that's exactly why i am talking like that, though.

i'm getting a point across. this is what the traditional left has always looked like, and if you find it offensive or impossible to organize with, it gets the point across that i've been trying to get across forever - you're not a fucking leftist.

if you were a leftist, you would either find this sort of thing comical, you'd be in agreement or you'd at least shrug it off as unimportant. 

your outrage is evidence of your progressivism, which is a political ideology that mixes moderate-to-left (and often just common sense) economic values with right-wing social values, like speech suppression and the value of religion in society.

do you understand?

if you think moses was bad, his proteges were genocidal maniacs.

and, the whole concept of islam is rooted in imperialism.

there's really nothing positive to take out of any of these books, at all - it's just one form of barbarism built on top of another.

was jesus so bad, though?

mohammad was a complete asshole, and moses was a murdering piece of shit. but, was jesus so bad?

he was less terrible, i'll give you that, but you have to really cherry-pick his statements. these books are full of ridiculous, barbaric imagery, all around. you can find a few choice quotes from hitler if you look long enough, too.

jesus was, broadly, an asshole, too - just like the rest of them.

...even if i'll concede that there's a difference in scale. jesus is in the greek tradition, which puts him in the lesser-asshole category, along with buddha and pythagoras....

listen, i don't like progressives, just like i don't like any other type of religious people. i don't like conservative religious people, i don't like liberal religious people....and there is no religious left. it's a contradiction. i mean, they're out there, but they're contradictions in terms; no left-wing analysis could interact with religion as anything other than public enemy #1.

capitalism is bad, but religion is worse - it's the thing at the top of the list of undesirable social characteristics, that need to be wiped out. and, there's nothing "alt" about that, that's the traditional fucking anarcho-communist left. 

progressives have been confusing from the start, and i don't like them, and i never did.

but, i understand i have to deal with them - even as i viciously attack them, without any sort of remorse.

so, don't ever expect me to be your friend - i don't want to be your friend. but, expect me to consistently align where the traditional left always has, whether progressives happen to overlap with it or nor. and, expect me to try to push progressives out of the left and back onto the right, where they belong, on most issues.

even when i'm talking about "progressive democrats" or "new democrats" in canada, i still think 90% of what you say is too right-wing.

you can't force the world to conform to your arbitrary idealizations, and it's juvenile to think that you can.

worry about what's ten feet in front of you, and let other people take care of themselves.

but, their base eats the idiocy up.

and, this needs to end, soon.

if i was in london and i really wanted to get here for christmas, i'd just fly to new york first.

no, shutting down the border isn't going to stop the virus, you fucking idiots.

you don't fucking learn - you keep doing the same stupid, failed things over and over. the science keeps telling you it's stupid, too, but no - you have your "common sense".

i can't buy emdogain :(. you have to be a dentist.....

this is something else that's being worked on:

https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/abs/10.1089/ten.tec.2019.0160?journalCode=tec

so, this seems like this is doable in principle, if you can get access to the resources, find a doctor that is knowledgable and able and, in the end, can afford to do it.

i need to call in the morning - let's hope i can avoid the headaches.

i know who my enemies are, and i'm not pulling any punches - this is total war.

the discrimination is systemic, and i'm perfectly happy to make everybody's lives miserable until they pull their heads out of their backwards, christian & muslim asses.

i didn't get a response from the store that discriminated against me last month, so i'm going to have to file a third human rights complaint as soon as the foia gets back.

further, i'm expecting that i may have to launch a fourth complaint against community housing, which is giving me a lot of "families first" type attitude, that is simply not acceptable.

and, i'll keep filing them over and over....and keep winning.....

so, they're going to try to cancel new years?

i hate the cold weather, and for that reason tend to stay in this time of year. it's not any fun to go out when it's cold like this - you have to wear too many clothes.

but, i hope the province completely ignores the government and parties in the streets, like it's saturnalia, instead.

so, i truly didn't want to spend all day sleeping, but i realize i didn't have a choice. 

now that the sunflower seeds seem to be isolated and removed, let's just try to wake up and have a long day.

but, there's often round two. let's hope there isn't.

well, i think he's got the crime argument backwards, though.

i grew up in a ghetto; i know that crime exists. but, the kind of crime that exists in these neighbourhoods is mostly property crime & drug crime. when more serious crimes do arise, they often occur as a consequence of the poverty, itself - so, gang wars, for example. much of this is crime that is potentially resolvable in a socialist system. on the other hand, the kind of crime that exists in wealthy neighbourhoods is largely reduced to crimes of passion, dominance and control - or what you could call crimes of privilege. these types of crimes are much more difficult to approach, and could very well continue well into and beyond any adoption of socialism. now, that's not to say that these types of crime don't also exist in poorer communities, but it nonetheless exposes a confusing truth: in a society where poverty is abolished, the police presence would be more necessary in the wealthy communities where people think they can get away with things, rather than in the poorer ones where poverty is no longer the primary driver of crime. nobody should oppose the police more than the poor.

it's important to have working people understand that the police exist specifically to uphold property rights, not to protect them from anything at all. to the extent that this misunderstanding is pervasive, it really must be attacked and resolved.

it's also worthwhile to remember that the democrats were, historically, the right-wing party in america. so, there's some continuity....

deathtokoalas

it's the anti-capitalist politics that must be the focus, not the anti-racial politics. and, you hope you get actual egalitarianism in the end, and need to keep fighting for it, if you don't. but, explicitly seeking racial harmony within a capitalist framework - and let's be clear that the capitalist class is the least racist of the classes nowadays - and deciding that's sufficient, or even a worthwhile first step, is just a reformist waste of energy....which is exactly why the capitalist classes, themselves, expend so much energy trying to co-opt leftist movements with identity.

Twenty Faces

of course a privileged white woman thinks that the fight for racial equality is not a worthwhile first step. Well for us non-whites race matters more than class. Racism is of more immediate concern to us. Identity is at the centre of everything, clown

deathtokoalas

see, the way i'm going to react to this is to point out that this person made the stupid assumption that these people always make - they assumed that because i pass as white, i must be privileged. in fact, i'm an indigenous canadian that grew up in a ghetto. and, this is exhibit a of what these people do wrong over and over again.

the bottom line is that the "race is everything" people don't matter because they have no revolutionary potential. at the end of the day, they will merely be swept aside and ignored. as such, they're really not worth wasting your time debating with.

Twenty Faces

ou dont pass as white you are white lol. Go take a dna test. Even if you were indigenous you look white and that will affect how people treat you. The fact you were born in a ghetto is completely irrelevant. white privilege doesnt mean that you live a good life, it simply means that on the basis of your race you are not discriminated.

ethnicity > class. and as a non white working class person the fight against racism is way more important.you can carry on larping as a revolutionary though

deathtokoalas

again - this is exactly why this movement is a dead-end that goes nowhere besides reformism.

i have a few drops of white blood somewhere on my mom's side, but i'm a mix of indigenous, jewish, italian and african. and, these people want to argue they're all about identity? the truth is that they're just a bunch of racists.

Twenty Faces

there is no movement. Marxists dont even get along with each other lol. As i said anyone who thinks fighting against racism is not something we should we do now is no friend of mine. In fact you're an enemy to my own interests.

deathtokoalas

race doesn't exist, it's a social construct invented by capitalism to divide the working class against itself. and, you've walked right into it. but, you're right - we're not on the same side; you're a reformist, and i'm a revolutionary.

as race is a social construct invented by capitalism, the only way to eliminate "racism" is to abolish capitalism, first.

but, let's all stop for a moment and realize that this person is explicitly standing up for capitalism. i mean, that's the point of the distraction - to uphold capitalism.

Twenty Faces

Race does exist, it's both biologically and perceptually obvious. Regardless racism doesnt even require race to be real. The idea that racism was created by capitalists is absurd and so is the claim that getting rid of capitalism will get rid of racism lol. Stop parroting nonsense like a cult member and start using your brain

deathtokoalas

*yawn*. i'm just curious - do you identify as a leftist?

(...)

figures.

race, as a biological concept, has about as much support as creationism, in contemporary science. it's beyond debunked - it's dead and buried. and, all you're doing is demonstrating how obsolete and out of touch with reality you are.

further, the idea that capitalism invented race as divide and conquer is pretty standard leftist history. read zinn.

you don't need to resurrect terms like "scientific socialism" to see that this person's about as divorced from the left as is possible. there's no future, here. no future for you.

Twenty Faces

i never denied that it's a standard leftist claim that capitalism invented race. It's still false. Getting rid of capitalism doesn't get rid of racial hatred or xenophobia. Besides the science is clear, race is biologically real even if mainstream intellectuals want to deny this

deathtokoalas

arguing with crt advocates is about as useful an expenditure of your time as arguing with creationists.

from what i can tell, a lot of them actually are creationists.

it's the new creationism...

Twenty Faces

i'm not a crt advocate. i doubt they'd say that race is biologically real.

deathtokoalas

most of the crt advocates i've argued with are essentially racists in disguise. but, you're just a troll then, i guess.

Twenty Faces

you clearly don't know what racism is.

deathtokoalas

the feeling's mutual, troll.

It's a club. Secret handshakes included.

they're just garden variety progressives, through and through. and, if you look carefully, the progressive movement was pretty conservative, from the start. the trick is that they've conflated socialism with progressivism, when these ideas were always deeply antagonistic to each other. progressivism in north america (which was something different than in europe) came out of the populist movement, which came out of the last gasps of christian american puritanism. so, these were always these calvinist moralists, to their core. the history between socialism and progressivism, if you care to look into it, is actually fairly vicious, from day one. and, what the left needs to do to rebuild, first and foremost, is reclaim itself from this co-opting influence that's been asserted by progressives, as all progressivism has ever tried to do is distort and dismantle the left.

i'm a little late, but i'm going to try some eggs and see how i react, just to nominally get myself back in schedule.

there's enough people to the left of the biden-schumer-pelosi status quo at this point to elect a lot of people, if they would just be realistic about what the democratic party is, the policies they support and the interests they represent.

and, all that's happened over the last year is a clarification of how wide and how insurmountable the gulf really, actually is.

this is the problem with legalizing mushrooms for adults: 98% of the market is teenagers, and almost everybody that does them as teenagers swears off them entirely at some point, if not before the age of 21 then certainly before the age of 25.

they should really be looking at mdma if they want to legalize something that will save lives, not mushrooms.

i don't like to take drugs for migraines. at most, i'll take aspirin.

but, i was considering trying some edibles this week for the solstice, and that's just out the window if i'm having migraines. there's nothing worse than combining marijuana with migraines - you end up feeling like you're on something psychotropic, which i just don't enjoy. at all.

i'm a control freak. and, i'm way too old for psychedelics - which are something that normal people grow out of before they graduate high school. but, even so, i was always very sporadic in my use of these sorts of drugs. 

if you do them very, very, very sparingly with the right kind of setting there is some possibility that you can get something from them, although i don't think i have the right psychology for it, anymore. i have essentially no interest in psychedelic drugs at all, whatsoever, anymore. 

for right now, edibles are truly the last thing in the world that i want at the moment, as i try to recover from the headache. and, i may find myself waiting until my birthday, depending on how long it takes to get back to full strength.

marijuana is not a medication, it's a a recreational drug. and, that's just more and more true as you start eating it. i know from experience that you need to be healthy and strong and in good spirits if you want to take psychedelics, and i'm applying the same criteria to any continued experiments with edibles.

i was thinking about it, but, due to the migraine, now is simply not the time.

and, the hemp seed is officially cleared for the beeturia.

i'm going to bring the garlic in, next try.

ok, i'm feeling better now - still oozy, but better.

these migraines often come in two rounds.

but, i always end up biting my lips up when i try to eat in mid-migraine, for some reason. i just miss. repeatedly. so, i've got giant cuts on my lips...

listen, even if this particular mutation continues to react to some or most of the vaccines, that's no guarantee that the next one will.

we've really put all our eggs in this basket, despite it being pretty obvious that this vaccine is temporary. what's unclear is if it makes it through the year or not.

that doesn't mean it's pointless. but, i've repeatedly called for realism around this. it will no doubt be easier to create new vaccines for new strains now that we have a working vaccine for the existing strains. but, the public health response should be based on the assumption that this will be ongoing, and that vaccinations will be required on a roughly yearly basis for vulnerable people, for basically ever.

the flu is really, seriously evaporating, though.

i'm going to try some coffee and see what happens.

why aren't we talking about worker self-ownership, instead?

the answer is that they're not serious, and they don't want a serious discourse.

in a lot of ways, increasing the minimum wage is the worst type of reformism; it does nothing to effect any sort of systemic change, and it seems explicitly designed to shut people up and have them fall in line.

here's some more money - shut up and buy stuff. and be happy.

to be clear - i support a living wage. everywhere. always.

(i also support a universal basic income, and would consider the ubi to be of far, far greater importance than a higher minimum wage. and, i broadly support worker self-ownership, as well. fire your boss!)

but, it's not a movement-building policy, it's not going to get me excited and it's not going to be a ballot question, for me. it's good for the economy to give people more money to spend - sure. but, that's low priority & of minimal importance in the face of all of these actual serious problems we have in front of us to deal with.

(well the synthetic stuff was created by nasa.

i'm taking a natural version of the synthetic matrix that is literally just crushed cow bones.

human enamel is 97% hydroxyapatite, and it's considered to be highly bioavailable.

but, it's still considered experimental, despite making such a ridiculous amount of sense.)

this stuff was created by nasa to help astronauts rebuild their teeth.

it should work, dammit - so long as:

1) the particles are small enough

2) it's actually what it says it is

you could buy a nicer iphone with $15/hr, though.

what americans on the left need to do right now is really take a look at the democrats and and ask themselves why they're bothering pretending that there's any point in supporting them.

do you agree with anything they propose?

at all?

so, why do you torture yourself?

why do you delude yourself?

start a new party, already.

universal healthcare, climate change, student loan forgiveness - these are things that need to be at the top of a serious agenda.

an increase in the minimum wage to a fraction of a living wage should be pretty low in the list of priorities.

i mean, there's low-hanging fruit....and there's fruit that's rotting in the soil. these minimum wage pushes for $15/hr have long expired and started turning into wine.

to begin with, that $15 needs to come up to $20.

but, you're just not getting much healthcare for $20/hr, nowadays. 

so, this isn't a serious discourse.

see, i'm awake, and i guess that's a start, at least for now.

.....but you don't really think that a $15 minimum wage (which was pretty 2012. those numbers need to come up. it's nowhere close to a living wage in most of the country.) is an acceptable replacement for universal healthcare, do you?

that's crazy talk. really.

these headaches can be just vicious. damnit...

one of the worst parts about the headaches is the dehydration that sets in, especially when i'm worried about my teeth. i got a brush in before i passed out, but it seems like the progress i was making just evaporated along with the dry mouth, which is a reminder of what one of the primary culprits is, here. it's too early to say, but i hope it's not that bad and i hope i can pick back up on it.

the "auras" (which are essentially the same thing as tracers from mushroom trips) are gone, at least. my vision is still mildly blurry, but largely resolved. i can't type like this, so i'll have to fix the typos in the morning. what's left seems to just be the headache, which could last up to 96 hours but is usually gone in 12-48.

i managed to get a long shower in, which works sometimes; it didn't work tonight.

so, it sure seems like i'm skipping the eggs this morning, in favour of an extended amount of sleep :(. but, sometimes these headaches lift very fast, too. i dunno.

everything else aside, it does not appear as though i'm having beeturia from the beets. but, i haven't produced much liquid, either, because that's part of having a migraine. i'm drinking more water than ever, right now; the dehydration is a symptom, not a cause, even if it's a cause for some people - and even if dry air can be a trigger, along with smoke and pollution. i just downed a big gulp of water in one slurp...and i'm still thirsty...

i'm a little late after eating in trying my first hydroxyapatite application. this is just crushed bones & magnesium stearate (which should potentially help with absorption - it's why it's there.). it tastes like a calcium supplement, which is encouraging. it ended up a little messy because i used too much spit, but it should coat right over the front teeth, if i use the right amount of saliva. and, i need to go spit, now.

again: this should work, but it's an experiment. i dunno.

right now, i need to sleep.

so, i just finished the pasta meal with the hemp seed, and  while my digestive system feels ok, i'm having a vicious headache with aura and not sure what else i can do for the night.

the trigger for these migraines is second-hand smoke, and while any smoke (including car exhaust.) is bad, marijuana is a worse trigger than tobacco.

i've got a stuffy nose, and can't clearly smell, or see, right now.
