OK, we're done, nothing will top this (y)
So you admit you're wrong yet?

And a doctor already did that, he ate 720 eggs in a month.


Oops, you can just eat eggs AND then something that has vitamin c, and you're good to go.

You can also fast for a month -- one guy did it and it was documented well too.

Nobody gives a shit about a month long diet experiment. That guy, Norwitz, is trying to get proof for a hypothesis that there are people, starting with himself, who have some sort of special response to ketogenic diets, and so he does these experiments for attention. Can't fault the strategy, he obviously wants to look into it further and that's good, but at this point in time it's not evidence of much. But cue the carnivore diet praising comments on his videos anyway (bots that share these testimonials seem endless, among other suckers).

And he didn't even eat only eggs for half of that month.

Nick Norwitz? He... didn't just eat eggs. He ate other stuff over the course of that month alongside it.

Oh, and his doctorate is in an unrelated field. And none of this was peer reviewed or anything, just a personal "challenge" he did for a video. Yep, unsurprised that this is the quality of evidence you're citing.

Cool, a dietician who... encourages eating a lot of stuff alongside eggs. Not just eggs.

Oh, she encourages eating a lot less meat altogether! I can agree with her there!

Right, so this confirms the money didn't go to Soros, then. They both fund the same thing. He gives it money, it doesn't go to him.


And is that your sole gauge of whether something is worth doing?

East-West Management Institute receives USAid funding, but the money’s assuredly changing hands and going through Soros at some point. Shit like this is how he built his wealth. This is the guy who “broke the Bank of England” in ‘92 by shorting the pound and walked away over a billion dollars richer.


It isn’t, but overlooking the big picture is how small problems eventually turn into big ones.

When you're eating 24 eggs a day, what else more do you think you can eat? He likes doing N=1 studies, it was to show how eggs don't raise cholesterol. If eggs aren't supposed to be so great for you because they raise cholesterol, how does that ridiculous amount of eggs not result in raising cholesterol?

I posted the link for the following. Eggs have to support life so they have basically everything you need, hence why you can almost just eat eggs if you wanted to. And official governmental science departments wouldn't say eggs were a "healthy" food, do you not get how ridiculous of statement that is?
In fact, eggs contain nearly every vitamin and mineral that the human body requires (with one exception being vitamin C).

Mexican users then lose access to Google over Mexico's Cartel President being annoyed it's called the Gulf of America in only English translation, but not Spanish.

The fundamental problem with Trump isn't that he hurts foreign feelings it's that he oftentimes hurts Americans. He shouldn't destroy Social Security, medicare, or Medicaid. He shouldn't get rid of college loans. He shouldn't lower wages by firing people in the federal government and forcing a return to office, but he does.

There's a direct link between those two things, though.
It's funny I don't think Trump is a liberal nationalist, he's not liberal. If anything Biden was the liberal nationalist, but his problem was he kept pushing bad companies like undynamic Stellantis vs your Rivians, Apples, and so forth. It's almost like dynamic people hate nationalism, and the dynastic people who don't are fascists.

Like many, he is probably liberal in his own mind.

It's something I'm used to in the Conservative Party in the UK. Some of them love to portray themselves as liberals, but the reality is that they only believe in liberalism for people like them. As long as they and theirs are free to do what they want they can fool themselves into thinking they are liberal, no matter how much they shut down and oppress everyone else.

One could call Trump liberal. But not liberal in the modern American meaning. Late 19th century Gilded Age laissez faire liberalism is arguably a better match.

My dude... This is the definition of Conservative. Its all hierarchy. The people on top deserve more than the people on the bottom. And, of course, they are the people on top

Conservatives, however, do not need to define themselves as liberal. Aside from those conservatives who genuinely are liberal, I am pointing out that many non-liberal conservatives claim they are liberal, whether dishonestly, or delusionally because they simply do not recognise their own intolerance to difference.

In the latter case, they and theirs exist in a limited social environment and are free to do as they choose, so they think they are liberal. But exposure to heterodoxy will quickly reveal the limitations of their tolerance. One way I suspect that they can pretend to themselves is that they portray difference as criminality or deviancy: not difference that can be tolerated but wrongness of a sort beyond the need to justify tolerance.

Someone will always be born in a better circumstance than someone else. The whole talk is moot.
