Be PEAceful without weed!

I just discovered palmitoylethanolamide (PEA). It basically is already in your body but we don't get enough in our diets. It is not very bioavailable ordinarily, but I fried a bit of it (500mg) in red palm oil. Mixed with black pepper, and consumed. It balances and lifts the mood (not quite a "high") as well as helping with all the things that marijuana helps with like pain, inflammation, seizures, and so forth: https://selfhacked.com/blog/palmitoylethanolamide-pea/

This is something all natural you can give yourself & your kids which nobody will raise an eyebrow at, and I think probably more effective than most other supplements for mood. Also, it will keep folks away from weed, because weed doesn't seem to do anything when you supplement with PEA (based on a small clinical study with myself as the only participant).

Try this out and let me know what you think! I sell it cheaper than you can find it on Amazon, and I also have it already premixed with virgin African red palm oil & black pepper.

USA Law enforcement cracking down on Mimosa again.

Just to warn y'all that a friend recently reported to me that his friend was arrested after receiving 2kg Mimosa hostilis from the Netherlands. I guess they did not find any type of illegal stuff in his house, so his charges may be getting dropped.

Also, there is a youtube video by a clearly wonderful and brilliant man who had a side hustle on pre-ban eBay as a Mimosa hostilis vendor, importing from Brazil. Various Federal SWAT agents came into his home with machine guns pointed at his wife and children while he was at work. He is facing 2 years in prison, but despite coercive tactics, he is choosing to fight the charges.

And a reminder: domestic USPS packages cannot be inspected without a warrant.

92% of undergrads, and even 83% of grad students who had taken advanced courses in probabilities and statistics didn't know the first thing about probabilities.

If you're wondering how illogical the human race is, this is one interesting piece of evidence. We apparently did not evolve to think logically (altho if you read the comments, some are arguing that the illogical answers had some type of logic to them).
Thankfully there are some humans who can think better than us. One of them, Eliezer Yudkowsky, writes this really extremely interesting blog called LessWrong.
Check out this post he has on the Conjunction Fallacy.
He also has some really good explanations of quantum mechanics which I've never seen elsewhere.

Statistics prove that you are turd.

Question for you. How well do you know your mom? Your dad?

Fairly well?

Have you ever suspected that one of them may have been a banana?

It sounds crazy, but according to GetScience.com, humans share around 60% of our DNA with bananas.

Further complicating matters is that we also share 60% of our DNA with fruit flies.

Now, perhaps you didn't take a stats class in college? But luckily for you, I did, so let me interpret these results quickly.

Essentially, what we're saying here is that almost certainly one of your parents was a banana. And the other one was a fruit fly. Which completely explains the attraction they had for each other.

So what does that make you? You are the product of a fruit fly eating a banana. That product would be called fruit fly feces.

So technically, according to the best science we have to date, you and I (but mainly you) are nothing more than the poop of a fruit fly.

How does that feel? Are you feeling a bit less self-important now?

Free retreats & centers

Looking to get away from your crazy life? You don't need any money (tho donations are always helpful). (Note: many of these are closed for the Covid-1984 Plandemic.)

Here are a few options (comment if you have others):
Pa-Auk meditation centers exist in various countries, including Sri Lanka, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Nepal, China, Taiwan, and USA. I have not personally been but a friend of mine went for 3 months to the main monastery in Myanmar and highly recommends it.

There are also Goenka insight meditation retreats in more countries. The body-scanning technique taught in the Goenka retreat is scripted and limited, but many people have benefited from practicing it. On the other hand, the Goenka-trained focused I've talked to have said they benefited much more from meditation after they dropped the Goenka method and tried the open awareness approach to getting direct with sensations.

There are of course many other centers around the world which you can find, but very often they are either not open to outsiders to come and stay, or they require extensive notice to be given, or they have high suggested donations for retreats, or they have some strange special ideas they may try to put on you. For example, I know a psychologist who spent 3 years in a Zen monastery in which all he did was polish a Buddha statue. That's Zen for ya. :) But, he felt it was helpful.

Atheists are more powerful than God, but they are going to probably go to hell, for no reason.

Hilarious argument on quora about God's omnipotence.
If God can do anything, can he make a rock so heavy he himself cannot lift it?
Matt Wayne, Lead Apologist (2010-present)

A rock would have to be infinitely large to defeat an infinite amount of lifting power. But an infinite rock is a contradiction since material objects cannot be infinite. Only God is infinite. There cannot be two infinities. So the question is actually asking if God can make a contradiction, which He cannot since it would be against His nature, which is pure logic. This question was only asked in order to ‘’trip up’’ Christians. However, it is the theist who trips on their own illogical nonsense.

JR:Maybe a better question: what would cause God to decide to make or not make such a rock?

Matt Wayne
Original Author Nothing because He has no interest in playing atheists games. One can accept Jesus Christ and have their sins washed away and receive eternal life, or go to Hell. We were all going there after the fall, God came to save us from this fate. It is a choice and asking stupid questions, playing mind games and mental ‘’traps’’ won’t change the choice. Hell or heaven…one must choose.

JR:
So, nothing caused God to make the decision. Yet he made it, because he doesn’t play atheist games. Damn, you got my head spinning, Matt! To me it sounds like something did cause him to make the decision then: the fact that he wanted to show that he doesn’t play atheist games.
And in some way, that means that atheists are MORE POWERFUL than Almighty God, because he just goes nuts, doing things for NO REASON just to piss off us logically-minded atheists.
The sad part is that us atheists are going to Hell because of how much we have angered God with our logic. And what is the reason God chooses to send us to eternal hell fire and torment? “No reason!”
