Wow, exactly 50-50 after 12 hours. I’ll keep it mostly classy, but if I’m feeling especially vrilled up all bets are off.

Liver.

Raw liver is by far the best, a lot of the vitamins listed here are completely destroyed by cooking. When eaten raw it’s the most nutritionally dense food on the planet.

If that sounds gross, just take tiny little bites at a time and wash it down with juice or raw milk or coffee or something. I didnt always have the strongest stomach, but raw liver really grew on me quickly. In my experience your body starts to recognize how nourishing it is and begins craving it.

With that said, you can still get some of the benefits of liver cooked, like in liver and onions or snuck into homemade meatballs. It’s a very nutrient dense food and I suggest you add it in to your diet however you can stomach it.

“Health” in general isn’t particularly motivating, especially for men, so I’ll post sometime later on why you want liver specifically if you want to be a bricked up virile boar of a man

Meditations on the Peaks

My dad came from old Southern money, and he told me how his dad and granddad boxed, hunted, spoke many languages, played instruments, and could quote the classics at will. Said his granddad casually taught him Latin and they used to discuss the Odyssey and Iliad for hours. Reminds me a lot of Marcus Aurelius’s upbringing as described in the introduction of my copy of Meditations. The Old South really was a spiritual successor to Old European aristocracy.

True Aryan - in the sense of a spiritual nobility

The leisure afforded to the upper class by slavery allowed for a beautiful and sophisticated culture to form in the Old South which could truly be called aristocratic in every sense of the word.

This is my bodhicitta face

I'm not a fan of Monism, Panentheism or Gnosticism. I'm a Polytheist like our ancestors. I'm of the same position as Marcus Tullius Cicero.

Marcus Tullius Cicero was a Roman statesman, lawyer, political theorist, philosopher and Roman constitutionalist during Republican Rome. He is considered one of Rome's greatest orators and Prose stylists. He introduced the Romans to the chief schools of Greek philosophy and created a Latin philosophical vocabulary. His work was very influential.

One of his books titled 'On The Nature of the Gods' is a favourite of mine. In this, Cicero explains how Diagoras the Melian, Theodores of Cyrene, Antisthenes and Plato have an incorrect conception of the Gods. One, because Diagoras and Theodores outright denied the existence of any Deity, thus making them Atheists. Antisthenes along with Plato claim that there are indeed "many national but *one* natural Deity." But according to Cicero, by this saying he destroys the power and nature of the Gods. Speusippus is also wrong in saying that a "certain incorporeal power governs everything;" by which he endeavours to root out of our minds the knowledge of the Gods.

Since we are polytheist, rituals can target various select deities. If the Gods were a metaphor, the entire action of ritual would be useless. You cannot build rapport with a symbol. Yes, symbols can be magical, but that's a different aspect entirely. If everything is just part of the big Godhead, why is there a distinct ritual for Freyja? Because, each deity has a distinct personality and "job". That is why we are polytheist.
