RE: a rationale for suicide?
When thinking about this, that is what I have been doing. Why even be curious? Because someone gives a value to do so? Many may delude themselves into thinking that anything but survival is the underlying reason for these values, which is related to the human condition. Even writing posts in a sense is to create an impact, to portray survival to the individual themselves and to others.
I have read your last post, and in regards to the ship my perspective is that the ship generally is the same (and same title used to describe it is), although constantly is changing as time progresses as every board is changed so cannot be considered the same.
Also in reading about nihilism it appears to be impossible to be one (although the nihilist may want to think themselves as).
I think it is an ideological position of deflection, as biological subconscious mechanisms will prescribe value to something, and even someone saying they are a nihilist is giving a value to this. I also do not exercise too much and I aim to not eat animal products (I have seen your I am therefore I harm post, not implying veganism is without suffering).
I would be interested on your perspective on healthy eating especially due to the conflicting information related to nutrition (high vs low carbs, saturated fat, sugar, cholesterol).
Thanks for bringing this to attention :)
Thanks for reading all of that!
Regarding nutrition, I more or less follow Michael Pollan and Nutrition Concepts and Controversies 14th edition, which is very similar to the Dash diet. That is basically what current science has to say, so that is what I do. There's many ways to follow these diets though regarding combinations, so I cook traditional dishes whenever I can instead of just throwing ingredients together or cooking recipes that came out of nowhere. Most traditional dishes come from my family, but Nourishing Traditions is a good source for that too.
As for exercise, anyone can do some basic weightlifting at home by purchasing a basic set of weights. Just 30 min a day or every other day will do, and you get all the cardiovascular benefits of cardio. Or, if money is a concern, you can do bodyweight exercises at no cost.
