      Tldr kinda

      He got addicted to benzos and had himself put in a coma in russia to cold turkey it (against advice to ween off it from doctors in north america). Shit got fucky and he got brain damage from it.

      Couple levels of lols there since he did papers on drug addiction in the past and his schtick is not looking for easy answers… but thats the one he took.

          I also like the one about him absolutely destroying himself with the insane all-meat diet his daughter espoused. Not sure if that was before or after the benzos and whether there’s a causal link, though…

            JP is one of the greatest examples of how you can be smart in one narrowly defined way, and an absolute dipshit in so many others. I never really bothered with the guy as the subject doesn’t interest me all that much, but I hear he was a leading voice at one point, and a fairly coherent one at that. And then based on his early success and subsequent fans, he let it get to his head and started thinking he was the smartest guy in every room.

            Another example is Steve Jobs. Autistic rainman style levels of design, marketing and usage knowledge, but apparently couldn’t do simple shit like feed himself properly or maintain his personal hygiene.

              This is a really interesting phenomenon. I feel like someone can be really knowledgeable and an expert in a certain domain but then they get used to people listening to and respecting them and their opinions. Then they start talking authoritively about stuff they really have no idea about expecting it to be the same or something. I don’t know, I haven’t though this through properly but it seems like there are a few recent examples where that could have happened.

            TBF, scientific studies seem to support that ketosis can influence/mitigate neurological conditions. The ketogenic diet was originally developed as a method of managing epilepsy, for instance.

            The “classic” ketogenic diet is a special high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet that helps to control seizures in some people with epilepsy.

            Personally, I’m giving it a try to assist with migraine management, per this study:

            In total, 17 patients (73.9%) reported a reduction in the headache days, and 15 patients (65.2%) reported a reduction in headache days of at least 50% and were considered as responders.

            The study itself had 23 patients iirc, so I’m sure more research needs to be done, but I’d like to avoid daily medications due to some of the undesirable side effects and I’m in good enough health to accept the risk for a few months.

    Uh, what’s happening here? The post shows no content for me, and clicking on the title only redirects me back to the post itself. Yet other people in the comment section are talking as if there was some specific content here, other than just the title “ravages of socialism”.

    Am I missing something here? Is there a malfunction, or did OP edit their post after the fact so that the actual content is just gone?

    Don’t listen to people who fuck their drug addicted brains up with pseudoscience.

    This dude was an addict who broke his brain in Russia.

    Ever listen to one of those drug addicts who then got infected with religion and conspiracy theories and self delusion and self righteousness?

    That’s basically JP.

      Webp is great. Very space efficient, good quality, supports animation, etc.

      Any software that doesn’t support it is dumb.

      It also makes hosting way easier thanks to the reduced storage, and it loads faster.

    Lol it’s funny when men cry and share their emotions. What a pussy. Men should never cry or show their feelings.

      It’s funny when - a man who spent his career reinforcing the bullshit societal biases that make it harder for men to share emotions - cries and shares his emotions.

      Fixed that for you. Decidedly not sacasm.

      I am sorry that he had to suffer such trauma, but hopefully it helps people realise how full of shit he was.

        But when he cried and shared his emotions everyone teared into him because of it and just added it as another reason to make fun of him, so… was he really that wrong?

          He’s being “made fun of” because he’s a misogynist, a sophist, and a hypocrite. The crying is incidental. Less obviously heinous people overwhelmingly receive sympathy in their vulnerability. If I’m getting your argument right you’re saying: “people are mean to men who cry so indeed men shouldn’t cry”. The takeaway is surely, “be less of a dickhead” rather than “cry less”.

            Why is he a misogynist?

            Also, I’m not saying men should cry less. I’m just saying that the people who tell men it’s ok to cry are usually the ones who get more bothered when it happens.

              Do they? Do you have any evidence of that.

              I’m going to be generous and assume you haven’t read his work, at least not critically. You should go listen to the episodes of the “behind the bastards” podcast about him or read more or less anything written about him:

                The nyt link I couldn’t read because it’s paywalled.

                The other link I do agree that he’s wrong about women’s oppression over time and I get that that’s why you call him a misogynist. To me, it seems he’s saying that women’s oppression was due to the constraints of the time period and not the active need of men to want to put women down. While I think he’s wrong I don’t think he hates women or thinks they’re inferior because of it. But the rest of the article is laughable. The reason people reject feminism and wokeness is not because of the need to maintain men in the pedestal of priviledge. It’s because it is hypocritical (tends to cherry pick issues and even subsets of issues) and because they hyperfocus on equality of outcome and not equality of opportunity.

                  You’re throwing out unevidenced, and frankly not very relevant, generalizations again.

                  Can you honestly not see that a man why literally describes women as inherently chaotic, and men as inherently ordered, who advocates openly for “forced monogamy”, is hateful. If so I guess we have nothing more to say to each other. Just because he dresses it up in flowery language doesn’t make it less repulsive.
