Autophagy

I’m wondering whether a 48-hour fast once a month, forever, would keep you safe from all the major diseases. My reasoning is that all the major diseases — heart disease, cancer, diabetes, etc. — start with oxidative stress that damages cell DNA with a free radical searching for missing electrons. The 48-hour fast would induce a very intense autophagy that would pretty much put a halt to oxidative stress and any chronic inflammation. The fast would also strengthen one’s immune cells.

Mind Travel

Put yourself into solitude. No outside distraction, no TV, no Internet, no phone. Just you and some time away from everything.

Close your eyes. Find some place in your mind that is familiar to you, where you have been and are completely aware of.

Mentally, just move around in that space for 15 minutes or longer. Enjoy the trip and don’t rush back.

You’ve just experienced “mind travel” — a kind of meditation that frees you form any distress/anxiety/negativity about the present. A nice escape.

Tariffs

Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301)

Allows tariffs to respond to unfair trade practices.

I asked an AI website whether the prez has the authority to impose tariffs under the Constitution. It said this belonged to Congress, but Congress can delegate this right to the prez, and it did that in 1974 to respond to “unfair trade practices”. This is what Trump has been claiming all along.
