<< this does sound rather splendid.
pete_dushenski: mircea_popescu: turns out, it can keep the sane man about three years.

mircea_popescu: saifedean: check out Otto Warburg, German Nobel Laureate in Medicine, whose main contribution was to discover that it is only through sugar intake that cancer cells can grow

mircea_popescu: joecool: undata: pretty much yeah, i hardly ever have it

<<< well, who is he ?
mircea_popescu: saifedean: chetty: "but I really don't see passing on grain entirely." Try it for a week and see what it does to you. How hard can that be? What do you stand to lose?
<<< i'm pretty sure she did try it for a week on and off, multiple times. not purposefully or anything, just, how it happened.
mircea_popescu: joecool:plenty of deer to shoot and ran a large vegetable garden saifedean:undata but then... who will raise the aggregate demand?!

mircea_popescu: undata: the cheese could go too but that's no way to live
<< no buttermilk ? no yogurt ? why would i even.
mircea_popescu: saifedean: making the switch from the crap that everyone eats today to paleo eating is no less revolutionary than jumping from the world of bezzle to bitcoin
<<< eh get out with the paleo stuff. what do you do for cake ?
BingoBoingo:

lobbes:
<+saifedean> if you eliminate grains, seeds and sugars, you effectively eliminate the possibility of developing most modern diseases, including diabetes, cancer, alzheimer's, obesity, and so on

chetty:
<saifedean> oh chetty, those who resist paleo the most are the ones most desperately in need of it!// the paleo idea makes sense to me, and for sure all those chemical and stuff that passes for food is bad idea, but I really don't see passing on grain entirely.

<< lol yeah that's a 'risk'
decimation: hoarding usd
<< lol. actually there's a great deal of certainty about the dollar, it's just that the certainty is that there is no fixed number of dollars, never has been, never will be
decimation: ben_vulpes: re: sbcl

<<< wait, wut ?
mircea_popescu: "The result? A formatting language too wimpy even for a novel."
