Sprouting

Proud of myself. With the help of 2 Youtube videos, I’ve successfully sprouted buckwheat groats.

Now the potential is leaving me almost breathless — quinoa, soy beans, beans in general, seeds galore, whatever.

I have my sprouting jars from Amazon with the special lids, and I’m ready to explore these new horizons in nutrition. Just need a little help from Youtube.

Student Loan Forgiveness

Loan forgiveness sets a terrible example. Implies that you can borrow money but don’t have to repay it. A better approach might be to allow early repayment that reduces the outstanding debt with a percentage increase in the debt retired, e.g., you repay $500 a month and this reduces your outstanding debt instead by $750 — an incentive to repay the debt early and get out from underneath faster.

Mistakes

Amazing how many mistakes one makes in a single day. Most people just ignore minor mistakes and move on, but if you register and keep track of all of them, they add up big time. Of course, there are those people who are much more meticulous and deliberate in their actions, and so make far fewer mistakes, but I think this is a tiny minority. Most of us makes dozens, perhaps even hundreds, of mistakes every day. I think therefore that humanity is actually very mistake prone — perhaps much more mistake prone then is commonly realized.

Avoiding Nuclear War

Taiwan solution…

Henry Barnard's avatarHenry's Views

The world glides silently toward nuclear war over Taiwan. The unthinkable has reality precisely because everyone dismisses it as unthinkable, yet China is adamant about Taiwan, as the US is adamant about its defense.

But nuclear war over Taiwan is not in anyone’s interest – not China’s or the US or Taiwan. It would mean the end of our civilization and a new dark-ages for mankind.

So what is to be done? How can this inevitable war and tragedy be avoided? The answer lies in the type of diplomacy exercised by the British over the control of Hong Kong — a gradual lending of hegemony to China as the dominant power over a number of years.

An administrative unit is set up over Taiwan that consists of 5 votes. Initially, 4 votes are controlled by Taiwanese and 1 vote by the Chinese. But, it is agreed at the onset, that…

How To Eat

Begin the biggest meal of the day the same way. First, eat what I call a walnut blast. 10 half shell walnuts. The fat in walnuts will make the rest of the meal more digestible, i.e., more available to the body. Plus, walnuts are the only nut with high levels of omega-3 fats. And eating such a high-fat, satiating food will dampen your appetite so that you will end up eating fewer calories. Also, eating such a high-fat food first will mean that the insulin spike from the carbohydrates in the whole meal that follows will be reduced.

Second, 5 minutes later, eat 2 stocks of broccoli. Chew the broccoli very well so that sulforaphane is formed in the mouth. The broccoli has anti-cancer properties, among other benefits. And the fat from the walnuts will make nutrition from the broccoli much more available.

Do this every day without fail.
