White Liberals More Likely to Have a Mental Health Condition

I once read a book written by a psychiatrist who noted that a majority of his patients were liberals. One of the reasons he stated was diet. Vegetarian-ism and especially vegan-ism causes a decrease in the amount of tryptophan in the diet if you're not careful. The best sources of tryptophan are from animals. The body uses tryptophan to make serotonin, the "feel good" neurotransmitter. That's just one biochemical connection between liberalism and mental disease, of course there are behavioral reasons too.

In college I was trying to fit in with the hippie crowd and I started eating a vegetarian. I didn't do a very good job and after a while I was severely depressed. Medication was tried and it was useless. A hamburger perked up my mood rather quickly. Problem solved.

But as the article poses, the philosophies in liberalism expose one to more risk of mental illness.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. We need to feed vegans and vegetarians beef jerky at the polls.

    Yes. And it is why THOSE Artistic Types feel that the hierarchy the rest of use desire is "unfair". It is... TO THEM. For us, it serves as a positive reinforcement for right actions.

    And when you let those ideas sink in. You realize BOTH halves are important. And neither can get rid of the other half and expect to survive much less thrive.

    Finally, AI research is showing that there is ZERO value in having a PERFECT view of reality. We are more effective (and more easily manipulated) with an imperfect view of reality... While BELIEVING it is real. (e.g. the urge to eat and reproduce... Both can be triggered to addictive behaviors... Because of the importance to the species of these 2 behaviors... NOTHING in "reality" makes this such an imperative, except for the continuation of the species).

    The lobster research is amazing. He adds that the limbic system or emotional lobster brain is at least 300,000,000 years old, while the rational neocortex or logic circuit is only 50,000 years old. It explains why discipline and rationality is so hard. The emotional circuit has so much more practice and is engrained. Evolutionarily, by comparison our logical capacity is a babe in the woods. This explains why it's so hard to set a course and follow it.

    It takes discipline, responsibility and constant effort to think rationally. It's so easy to just give up and do what feels good. Conservatism vs Liberalism in a nutshell.

    While I agree, I was shocked to find out that Genetics helps to explain the differences.
    They have found that men who cheat and do well in business share a gene.

    The Genetic Reference for this comes from Jordan Peterson. Who points out that our Lobster derived brains helps us determine if we are Alpha or Beta, or in our world, hierarchical or "artsy" (Engineer or Artist), which are clearly inherited (but developable) traits. [Why are most geeks and Jocks so easily divided visually] (patterns of genes).

    After that, it becomes about training, etc.
    It's why it's hard to argue with Libtards! They cannot comprehend anything but their truth, it fits with their world-view, and how things "feel" to them. Even if illogical!

    Man has free will. He has the freedom to focus his mind or not, and that will determine the way he thinks. Which way he decides is not genetic, or he would not be able to make a decision about it.

    That's a matter of personal belief. I, personally, have had experiences which tell me unconditionally that there is a life after this one and that this life is our opportunity to prepare for that one. Can we interact with that more "spiritual" side of things? Assuredly - if you know how to go about doing it and are sincere in your efforts. More than that I'll leave for a PM.

    Tonk U. Doesn't have to be God, could be Objectivism. Whatever prevents a person from bending to the government's arbitrary will, when it's corrupt (most of the time.)

    They worship government. The Communists always attack "Guns and Bibles." You protect your person with a weapon, and you protect your spirit or ethical being with a Bible, or God, or some system beyond government. Communists can't take over if people are physically and mentally protected.

    That's the problem with the word "god". To the ancients, a host of things and concepts were gods.
    We know the concept of the Socialist, the extreme lefts and those without conscience envision as their god...and it's not anything Good...

    Physical existence that describes.
    We have clues of the beyond but can't prove it. One clue is that we live in various field we can't see and we are made of those very same fields at the same time. It make sense that You, I and everyone else are not the physical body, it is only a host.
    Are we a sovereign quantum particle?, something else?...I guess each one of us will find out eventually.

    We journey to Wisconsin frequently and stop at creamery and cheese shops. Love to try new cheese ThanQ for the tip.

    I believe Ayn Rand said that Socialists substitued "Society" for "God"; and I believe that she did not believe in the supreme exaltation of either.

    Well, they do want to be "liberal" with other people's money. But from what I have been able to discern, the "liberals" are the ones who do not want to tip carhops (or other waiters and waitresses), but want the employers to pay a higher wage, and perhaps want such a raise to be imposed by government.

    They locked us down, caused a debt vacuum in the peoples accounts and lives, raped the treasury to partially fill the vacuum, creating a worse Federal vacuum, smash mental health, so that Pfizer could sell vaccines.

    How compassionate.

    According to the original meaning of the word WE in the Gulch would be the true liberals. Whatever the Democrats decide to call themselves....forcing people to lockdown with threat of violence and coercion to take an experimental jab is most decidedly NOT a liberal thing to do. But it is what it is.

    So Sorry.
    Yeah, that purple is good. You are WASTING energy. But that's also the problem. Your body is NOT using them. It wants glucose. Your liver has to be coaxed into emptying the stored glucose, and your body has to learn to burn the ketones.

    One strategy is to leverage a SAUNA. It's a stressor that allows you to get "exercise" without moving. (Don't get crazy, 10 minutes, get out, make sure you are good). Your body has to burn a lot of energy to COOL down.

    The other thing, is to follow Dr. Boz. She walks you through the Body Chemistry Changes in a really simple way. Getting your brain and body to use ketones is huge.

    Also, make sure you consume electrolytes!!! If you are low on those, you won't have energy...

    Good Luck. PM me if you want!

    You mis-gendered me! I'm gonna kill myself! But you got the age right. I never tried adding ketones. I can sure piss the stick purple!
