low-dose-naltrexone-01

If you have an autoimmune disorder, such as Hashimotos, Fibromyalgia, or other kinds, I recommend you try this medication called Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN). It is an immune system modulator which helps dial down an overactive immune system — which is at the root of all autoimmune disorders. LDN has very low side-effects and helps about 70% of people with Hashimotos. So it's worth a try.

This is a prescription medication and even if you get a prescription it is not sold at any regular pharmacies. It is only sold at special compounding pharmacies. Luckily, you can get both the prescription and the medication easily, cheaply, and legally online. Here is the source that I use:

It's amazing how corrupt top universities are. They are like devil factories.

I thought it would useful for you to have a list of the points from my episode on How To Distinguish Lower vs Higher Perspectives - Part 1, since it's a very powerful list.

Here's the slideshow in PDF format. This is what I make my talks off of:

In my latest video I said how the problem with Fox News was the $780 million dollar defamation settlement with Dominion for knowingly spreading election lies. Well, that's only half the story. In 2025 we will see the second shoe drop with another $2.7 billion lawsuit with Smartmatic for the same election lies.

Appeals Court Rules Fox Must Face Smartmatic Defamation Lawsuit

So, you see, it's not all subjective. Whatever you think of CNN or MSNBC, hate them if you must, but at least have the honestly to acknowledge that they do not have to pay $3 billion dollars for defamation and lies. Not all perspectives are equal. Not all mainstream news has the same epistemic rot.

$3 billion is a nice number to quantify epistemic error. That's why I mention it. Rarely do we see epistemic error so explicitly enumerated. That the Fox News audience doesn't even recognize this as a problem in itself reveals that they are operating from a lower perspective, because a higher perspective would have epistemic standards and find this sort of thing unacceptable. You should care about the epistemic standards of the news sources you rely on to build your worldview.

And this not about conservative vs liberal. You can have a conservative perspective without the epistemic rot, but that is quite rare these days.

Remember, there are many degrees of epistemic rot. A higher perspective makes fine distinctions between degrees of epistemic rot and treats these degrees as important, whereas the lower sees it all as equal and of no importance. Just to be able to accurately recognize levels of epistemic rot requires a well-developed and impartial mind — something most humans have yet to reach.

A new documentary came out called The Bibi Files, about Netanyahu's corruption. I just finished watching it and highly recommend. It has damning leaked police interrogation videos of Netanyahu and his inner circle. This is an important watch if you want to understand how Netanyahu works, how power works, how corruption works, how Israeli deception works. He's such a bald-faced liar. More people need to see this.

The most damning quote from the documentary:

"Do you remember the Godfather? 'Keep your friends close, keep your enemies closer.' ... This is confidential and can't be leaked, okay? We have neighbors here, sworn enemies. I'm constantly passing them messages. I confuse them, mislead them, lie to them, and then hit them over their heads."

— Netanyahu

Here's a teaser:

This is a paid documentary. It's available in several places but sometimes limited by geographic region. Here's one place where you might purchase it, but search around for others:
