eat what you want no matter what time of day it is

stop letting the arbitrary rules of when it’s acceptable to eat certain foods dictate your life. i used to live my life waiting for it to be a suitable time to cook what i already knew in my heart i wanted immediately. eat a burger at 10:30 am because you feel like it. wake up hungover and have a bowl of noodles immediately. drink matcha in the evening. make pancakes at 3 pm who’s stopping you? enlightenment is waiting for you if you do this. i’m freer than i have ever been.

MY PRE MIDTERM DIET

Many people overestimate the effect that studying has on exam performance and underestimate fueling your body properly. In reality, understanding the mind-body connection is crucial to success with the level of competition present in modern American universities. If you don’t do this because it’s ‘unhealthy’ or ‘makes you feel sick’, that’s fine. But I can guarantee your competitors are following this method, especially the high-achieving international students you’ll be competing with to get into law/med/grad school. 1. Start smoking cigarettes - this is especially essential if you never smoke cigarettes. Ideally do all studying outside with a cigarette in hand for efficiency’s sake. If it rains, snows, or hails use your textbook or laptop to shield the cigarette from harm, lest it get put out 2. Cut out all animal protein, especially red meat. Steadily implement a diet of nothing but bread, rice, and fried eggs 3. Turkish coffee every 3 hours to clear the gut flora of bacteria that causes self-doubt, sluggishness, and complacency. In truth, this should be done year-round if you have the time and money. Don’t expect anyone else to tell you the truth, but you‘re already behind if you just started now 4. Daily prescription stimulants of choice 5. Limit showering to protect your natural aroma that will subconsciously inspire professors to grade your exam more favorably 6. Masturbate several times the night before the exam to increase mental clarity and limit distractions. No Fap is a Russian psyop to lower the Chechen-American birthrate 7. Scale down blacking out from alcohol to once a week. If your studying schedule allows for it, pencil in the blackout for the eve of the exam. It will disrupt your REM sleep, helping you wake up earlier, in turn providing you extra time for studying. Vomiting before or during the exam will decrease cortisol levels

Fasting / Not Eating

Food is one of the worst things for you. For most of the summer, I was having a large smoothie with whey protein isolate, egg yolks, powdered coconut oil, and frozen berries. Only for the past several days (I’m recovering from SARS COV-2) have I abandoned this highly caloric, insulin-bomb of a breakfast, replacing it with cold water, creatine, and powdered coconut oil, blended. You wouldn’t believe how much sharper I feel mentally, how much less hungry I am all morning, my neighbors have stopped complaining about my outbursts… the list goes on and on.  Oh, but back to food being bad for you. I really do think eating a ton of food is one of the worst things for you. You can read about this in my book, in which the protagonist, in an attempt to gain weight and become physically more imposing, starts eating a ton of food, and his quality of life suffers greatly. It’s a really clever commentary on masculinity and “improvement culture” in general, actually. You should read it.  I too have gone through periods of regimented physical activity (lifting weights) and eating large quantities of food, and it always leaves me feeling terrible, physically and mentally. Lately I’ve started eating huge portions of vegetables again (bag of Brussels sprouts, bag broccoli, two large zucchini) in the middle of the day and it’s been working out really nicely for me. Skin cleared up, mind feels sharp, face looks more chiseled and handsome, it’s been great.  You (the reader) should probably eat less food, just like, statistically, most people eat too much. I know that might not be true for the target audience of this newsletter, so if you have an eating disorder then you should eat a little bit more (but not too much too fast), but most people should eat less food and replace some of the food they’re already eating with more vegetables. They’ll experience great benefits from eating their first meal as a large bowl of vegetables with ghee around 2pm.

Experiencing aesthetics as ethical

if I go somewhere (train station, highway, supermarket) and there are massive screens which play ads on a loop, purposefully bright and loud and situated in a public space I experience this as an evil. It actively harms me. i don’t think we need to go any further than Times Square to find proof that aesthetic value is at least partially grounded in moral value.

attempting to like a friends boyfriend no more than 5 times

You are obligated to make a good faith attempt to like your friends boyfriend five separate times. However five times is quite generous of you and if your don’t like them on the sixth occassion it is out of your hands.
