<p>As an experiment, consider if we get rid of both the clock and the calendar, leaving us only with Unix time (which is utterly incomprehensible without a calendar or clock reference).<p>Timers would still work. Actions would then be more ad-hoc. The simple change would likely lower stress tenfold, and this is what can be measured.<p>How then would appointments work? Day offsets (from 0 to 2) would still easily work. People wanting to come in to see a specialist would just have to call/contact, then come in at any time of the day. Some would come in earlier in the day, and some would come in later in the day, somewhere between sunrise and sunset, and things would work out.<p>Everything would likely be slowed down in the immediate sense, but would this be so bad? Odds are that no; it would probably add much to happiness, and perhaps become more sustainable.<p>How would a big passenger airplane even depart? It wouldn't, and that's okay. Cargo planes and other dedicated airplanes would remain unaffected because they can depart when there is sufficient mass.<p>It would be like a return to old times, maybe to an extreme version of Italy. The early chaos, if managed aptly, would soon manifest as a longer and healthier life.</p>

<p>I think we as a people have to keep working to weaken and replace religious identity with belief in a private god. Belief in a divine power must not leave one's home, and must not extend into the public sphere where it can lead to divisions. This is where polytheistic religions win because they allow for a private god while being entirely compatible with someone else's private god. If I can look at a person's clothing or hairstyle and guess their religion, it means the tenet of privacy is violated, and division is sowed.<p>Fwiw, ancient Egyptian religion in the Levant region was polytheistic. So many ancient religions were polytheistic, thereby more flexible, decentralized, and pluralistic. Monotheism in contrast is largely inflexible and risks breeding conflict in the name of religion.<p>As for the adherents of Yahweh, i.e. now called Judaism, they have been using violence to displace other forms of the polytheistic Canaanite religion for three thousand years. What is happening now is just more of the same. Even two thousand years ago, the Jews pressured the Romans to crucify Christ. The point is that there is zero tolerance among monotheists for innate religious diversity.<p>An analogy for monotheism is everyone worshipping the dollar, whereas polytheism is whereby people have more choice, even multiple choices.</p>

<p>The aluminum relations are easily explained with the observation that healthy kidneys excrete aluminum well, whereas unhealthy kidneys don't and so it accumulates. There might also be similar variations in aluminum deposition in the brain depending on the brain's innate ability to wash out chemicals. In contrast, the excretory mechanisms of plastics seems less trustworthy.<p>The user is deliberately and blatantly ignoring a wealth of scientific literature that exists. Also, plastics come bundled with numerous other harmful classes of chemicals, e.g. phthalates, bisphenols, etc. The risk is not merely in the brain, but also in blood vessels, including those adjacent to the heart.<p>Beware the plastics industry shills on this page. They will have you ignore the science, become infertile, and then have you die, all for their temporary gain.</p>

<p>Some people use plastic cutting-trays / knives / forks /spoons / cups / jugs, which also are some things to avoid.<p>I would also avoid all nonstick pans and utensils, as they're lined with PFAS which is worse than plastic, and slowly it will break off into the food. Beware the industry shills on this forum, as they will have you ignore the fact that ingesting PFAS is well known to result in higher blood levels of PFAS.</p>

<p>The way to get air purifiers to really work well is to install them at the air intake, i.e. in the windows, or where the central air intake is, so all incoming air passes through them. I use indoor air purifiers too, but not as a substitute for ones at the intake. Note that tires and diesel fumes are prominent neighborhood sources of harmful particulates.<p>It is not expensive to run intake fans in the spring and fall seasons when active heating or cooling are not required.</p>

<p>One action doesn't obviate the need for another.<p>Also, stop using dishwashing pods and laundry pods with the dissolvable plastic layer encasing them. Use powder or liquid detergent instead. If you can't find it in store, look for it online, because it definitely is in stock.</p>

<p>The key is avoiding the bets with <i>controlling</i> insiders, i.e. those that could have a potential conflict of interest. Even something as banal as weather data has some insider knowledge, but an insider has no practical control over it, i.e. the insider is non-controlling, with no conflict-of-interest.</p>

<p>For those who live in the red-pilled real world, just don't trade on something where <i>controlling</i> insiders (also with a potential conflict-of-interest) can beat you at the game. This is different from bets with <i>non-controlling</i> insiders with no conflict-of-interest.</p>
