This is the original story. Much more interesting imo.

I've heard this several times myself. But then guys I know who have far bigger packages than my own somehow attract lots of sluts to whom I would be the equivalent of someone throwing a hotdog down a hallway. -

With or without context that belongs on a T-shirt. It's so damned true about so many things. -

It's been the bread and butter of military intelligence for eons now. The Cambridge Analytica scandal is the tip of the iceberg, but in terms of modern/recent case studies, it's a very good intro. In fact people who point the finger and bleat "Nazi!!" while frothing at the mouth are a good example of what one of the effected parties looks like. They've been hypnotised into a state mindless frenzy by too much repeated exposure to social media algorithms which play on their exaggerated fears and emotions like a musical instrument.

Honestly, most of the worst manipulation that used to be the domain of malicious sorcery, is now conducted by social media companies and marketing firms using AI trained on your personal information. -

There are a lot of different traditions surrounding that depending which branch of alchemy specifically involved. Though it's definitely not traditional, I consider the "philosopher's stone" to be a collection of perennial truths and wisdom about the operations of nature which survive the ages and all attempts to debunk them. But truthfully in the original alchemy (literally al Kemet, from black earth, ie. "from Egypt") it was meant as a physical object tmk.
This is a somewhat related video from Dr. Justin Sledge about his attempt at recreating an alchemical potion for depression, albeit minus the dangerously toxic ingredients. It will give you an idea just how bonkers some of this stuff was. They literally often came up with a theory (frequently based on some superstitious nonsense from the BuyBull) and then backwards rationalised how a recipe and how it should work, mostly a priori knowledge.

My personal favourite herbal lore is the "Doctrine of Signatures", because people get it completely backwards. They think if the flower is yellow it's therefore good for the urinary tract. Or if it's heart shaped it's good for the heart. But in reality they knew what the plant was good for FIRST based on experience, and then decided on a feature of the plant that would make it easy to memorise for purpose of identification and associate with it's usage, and to be able to teach it to others (a posteriori). It's the different between the science of mnemonics, and the superstition of some crystal cruncher who learned it off a tiktok video (or modern doctor with their arrogant conceit). -

Yeah. Alchemy is a whole other kettle of fish that get's stuck in the blender with herbalism largely thanks to Paracelsus (father of modern toxicology), due to his invention of Spagyric medicine. Back in those days there was a lot of rivalry between different practitioners so they invented a bunch of convoluted symbolic ciphers and cockamamie theories to explain how it all worked. Partly to keep things proprietary so they could get paid/famous, and partly to prevent one's self getting burned at the stake by insanely superstitious Christians who wilfully misunderstand things like that. Gods forbid you were a woman trying to ply folk medicine, because that was illegal/Satanic. The earlier stuff pre-Paracelsus that didn't have as much Alchemy woo infused into it was much more down to earth though, provided it was ever recorded and that we can decipher the nomenclature. Linnaeus was a big help thankfully. But also the Greeks and Egyptians recorded a lot of their medical practices in plain language which has largely come down in tact, even if it's hard to identify sometimes precisely what plants they were indicating. -

I use wild lettuce tincture to treat my own headaches, but you can also still use willow or poplar cambium. It works. That said, what you're getting in the bark isn't asperin from the drug store. It's an unrefined precursor to asperin which has a much more potent but also short duration effect. Also you need to be careful with it because in larger or long term doses it can result in internal bleeding. This stuff still all works very well, but it's not all exactly child's play. You have to have some caution and experience, and ideally one or several good mentors. Plantago major is another good painkiller, which though milder is still quite effective, and like wild lettuce you can use it as a salad green and get all the same benefits that way and then some. -

Exactly. So much of herbal medicine can be turned into gourmet food. I cured myself of severe chronic gastritis (Heliobacter pylori infection) over the past month using a tea and soups made with fresh turmeric, ginger, cumin and for good measure some burdock and dandelion root. Worked like a charm. -

There're a lot of folknames for stuff like that. Like all the ingredients in the witches' potion in MacBeth are references to herbs (eg. eye of newt = mustard seed). One of my favourites is "baby fat" which is a rendered goose or duck fat used as a base for herbal salves (not fat from infants blood sacrificed on a Pagan altar like some retards believed it to be). It can be a bit challenging to decipher some old timey recipes because of that, and overlap in names, or multiple different names for the same plant, etc. But once it's figured out it's usually really a gold mine. -

I'd be more in favour of doing it in the honour of Jack Parsons, but just because I'm into the weirdo occult stuff. 😜 -

Incidentally, here's a historical example. There are plenty including recent contemporary examples I can cite if it interests you.

I ran folding@home on my PC for a couple years. But eventually decided it was shooting my own interests in the foot so I uninstalled it. -

> almost all new drugs are not
I don't know about that. I don't have any statistics to speak of, but I rather doubt that's true. That said, they do use a lot more AI to try and engineer bioactive molecules these days (particularly if protein based). -

> hemlock extract is great for curing migraines
Uh... no. I almost did myself in back when I was young and stupid by anointing myself with hemlock essential oil. Very bad news.
But herbalism is very legit when you aren't taken in by all the woo. Almost all the big-pharma prescribed by doctors is derived from ethnobotony plagerised from indigenous medicine keepers anyway, even if they synthesise it or tweak the molecule in order to qualify for a patent. The real herbs though are generally way more effective because of the entourage effect, and if you know enough about foraging, can be obtained for $0 with a little bit of elbow grease and know-how, and maybe at most a mickey of vodka and a mason jar. -

I know there're herbal aphrodisiacs. One priestess I circled with years ago used to make a mean May wine using Turnera diffusa and Galium odoratum primarily, that had extremely potent arousing effects on all who consumed it. Some people also suggest to use Pausinystalia johimbe, but that can be a bit dangerous (potentially heart attack inducing). But yeah, suffice it to say these things aren't a mere myth (speaking from experience). -

When you associate blue with male and pink with female, you are promoting a concept popularised by Nazis. When you practice Hatha Yoga, you are using a series of exercises originated by Niels Bukh, a gay Nazi gymnastics teacher from Denmark whom Krishnamacharya borrowed from to create his basic set of Yoga asanas. If we had to list the number of elements of popular culture which were originated or inspired by Nazis, or companies who had dealings with Nazis (eg. General Motors, Ford Motor Company, AT&T, Eastman Kodak, Standard Oil, Singer, International Harvester, Gillette, Coca-Cola, Kraft, Westinghouse, United Fruit, Volkswagon, etc) in order to avoid their use, it'd be quite a different world to say the least. To say nothing of the upper echelons of corporate, political and military leadership in Ukraine and Israel, and folks like the Biden family who sponsored and collaborated with them... -

Sure. But in the case of Zetas, their top level leadership and tactics are almost entirely drawn from Mexico's military special forces which were trained by CIA and Mossad, etc. They're basically a private army with direct roots and training tied to elite special forces units globally.
