  1. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/its-time-to-end-the-war-on-salt/ For decades, policy makers have tried and failed to get Americans to eat less salt. In April 2010 the Institute of Medicine urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to regulate the amount of salt that food manufacturers put into products; New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has already convinced 16 companies to do so voluntarily. But if the U.S. does conquer salt, what will we gain? Bland french fries, for sure. But a healthy nation? Not necessarily. This week a meta-analysis of seven studies involving a total of 6,250 subjects in the American Journal of Hypertension found no strong evidence that cutting salt intake reduces the risk for heart attacks, strokes or death in people with normal or high blood pressure. In May European researchers publishing in the Journal of the American Medical Association reported that the less sodium that study subjects excreted in their urine—an excellent measure of prior consumption—the greater their risk was of dying from heart disease. These findings call into question the common wisdom that excess salt is bad for you, but the evidence linking salt to heart disease has always been tenuous.

    When did I ever ask for your permission? I do as I please. You guys keep trying to throw me out as if you are "in control" or whatever. Call me a "troll", call my thoughts "spam", call a black man a "nigger", call whatever you want "worthless", but all I hear is: BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH. Sticks and stones, motherfucker.
  4. Books are the dead trappings of a living teaching. Dust on the road, so to speak. Lets get back to the topic of OWN-ER-SHIP... shall we?

Cave-Man its just a loan its borrowed time its a sign of the line right down to a dime but left open for interpretation from oracular invitation only
  7. Plato was a chump. Diogenes knew it. The records of their exchanges are priceless indeed. Plato tried to steal the teachings of Pythagoras, who was the ORIGINAL "lover of Sophia" AKA "philosopher". But since the teachings of Pythagoras were not at all aligned to the rule of government as per a tyrannical hold on monetary values, he had to warp and distort it into his own little perverse version of "IDEALS!!!" and so forth. Plato was a fucking toolbag. Everyone who is anyone already knows this, as well as the source of the word "philosopher". But everyone else... doesnt know shit.. ...unfortunately, but whatever. Its just whatever, dude. Oh well.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pashupati Pashupatinath is an avatar of Shiva, one of the Hindu Trinity. He is the male counterpart of Shakti. The five faces of Pashupatinath represent various incarnations of Shiva; Sadyojata (also known as Barun), Vamdeva (also known as Uma Maheswara), Tatpurusha, Aghor & Ishana. They face West, North, East, South and Zenith respectively, and represent Hinduism's five primary elements namely earth, water, air, light and ether.[3] Puranas describe these faces of Shiva as [3] “ Sadyojata, Vamdeva, Tatpurusha & Aghora are the four faces, The fifth is Ishana, unknowable even to the seers ”
