  • Hey,

    Congratulations on deciding to get healthier!

    You have one very critical flaw in your train of thought:

    All calculations are based on averages or standard humans and so on.

    And all calculations you’re doing are within 20% of each other, even slight deviations in any of the theoretical figures to your non average body would screw you over.

    That means something simple though: no, don’t skip cardio. You will get more hungry the higher your calorie deficit would become. And cardio is simply healthy if it’s not overdone!

    You seem quite similar to myself in so much as you seem to have a very analytical and theory driven approach to things. Here is how you can use that to your advantage: track.

    Base all your analytics on true “you” data instead of calculating theoretical figures.

    This means heart frequency zones, body fat and muscle percentages.

    Heart frequency is a direct proxy for training intensity, the other two for how your body composition changes.

    The kcal are just a bonus on top to adjust your total mass. That will follow with a better muscle to fat ratio anyway (usually!).

    Good luck! ❤️




  • I assume we’re in a similar boat so let me assure you: no, you won’t - because we wouldn’t even realize it happened.

    Only after s few months one of us will recall this thread and be like “oh, yeah. Twitter. Seems really dead finally. Good.”

    And to be clear I expect they person to be you because my memory is awful.


  • You need a doctor’s for the exact figures. Just saying “a pill” without dose is btw completely irrelevant.

    And yes, you’ll pee most of it out what you can’t absorb.

    Something to check for is vitamin K (not sure about your local naming scheme though y shot seems to suffer internationally). You’re body needs that stuff to absorb the B. I actually have a K production problem, that’s why I was B deficient.

    Doctor prescribed 10k I.E. B with fitting K - daily! That’s a crazy amount that would be absolutely useless without my specific circumstances.

    And one more thing: ADHD or not you need to find your way to remember medicine. D just kills your mood, blood pressure in a few years might just kill you.

    My approach for example is a the tier alarm system, mix of voice assistant, a daily mail and push notifications. Plus I have my medicine both at home and at work.





  • I did refer to your original question on how there are people who disagree on the statement that humans are more intelligent: if you treat that as a question about which axiom is in effect instead of a change of arguments or makes more sense.

    You’re reference to the consciousness discussion is an awesome one btw! I would describe “closing in on a definition” as “agreeing on a common axiom”.

    But that’s not happening on a forum post where people off various backgrounds and believes fight (instead of argue).

    To make it clear: I’m in agreement with you, I only tried to expand what you already started by my train of thought on why that thread you linked is the way it is :)


  • Oh and I think that’s the root cause for your post: there can not be a common agreement of those positions because they are axiomatic, as in fundamental definitions.

    If you define intelligence one way it’s very clear that humans have more of it. if you use an (aggressive, in my opinion) species agnostic definition even tied to motivation it’s at least not that clear cut.

    Personally I’m more with you but I find the thought experiment fascinating. To quote Douglas Adams:

    “”“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”“”


  • That’s a philosophical question at the heart: how can you estimate anything like intelligence with neither collaboration nor a common understanding of intelligence?

    That’s the gust of it from my understanding: cows show patterns that we interpret as intelligence on w human level. Everything after that is by its nature is human centric.

    Personally I’m with you but it’s impossible to disprove the existence of intelligence on any other scale they doesn’t include human motivation. (I.e. the cow has s higher intelligence than any human but we don’t know any way to force or motivate it to show it in a way that we could understand.)

    It’s easier to grasp as a sci-fi concept for me: what happens if aliens come to earth but we cannot figure out their behavior, motivation, tech or thought. And they don’t (want to) manage to close the gap. How could we assess intelligence beyond the tech we see? Perhaps they just found it after all.



  • No it’s the complaint about one of the few transparent revenue flows Mozilla managed to pull off.

    It’s disabled one step deep on the settings

    There is a shitload of stuff going wrong with the Mozilla foundation and this doesn’t even make the top 10.

    That’s the reason for my down vote: it’s nothing I want this community to focus on. It’s basically engagement bait with the topic “ads bad”.
