CEREAL MAY REDUCE LIBIDO

  • Kellogg has questionable motives
    • Government profits off of grain industry
      • Hence why government will posit that it is healthy
    • Subsidized which is why it is so inexpensive
  • Mr. Kellogg actually wanted people to masturbate less
    • He thought masturbation led to disease
      • Thus, he created a product to decrease masturbation
    • “Plainer foods” would decrease sex drive
      • Meats and naturally flavored foods increase it
  • Grains can likely affect your libido
    • You may even have a better sex drive if you cut out sugar and grains
    • S&G make you lethargic and mess with your hormones
      • Really mostly to do with hormones
      • Vinnie wants to have a luminary on soon to discuss this
        • Stay tuned for more on this topic!

        • White Hack
    • Black Hack is a negative thing
    • Hacking computers has taken on a negative message
  • Hacking humans = how substances, food, other people alter us
    • Bad food alters our mind
  • Further, we have confused pleasure and happiness which in turn allows us to GET hacked
  • Pleasure vs Happiness
    • Pleasure
      • short term
      • visceral
      • achieved alone
      • taking
      • achieved with substances
      • leads to addiction
      • dopamine
    • Happiness
      • long term
      • ethereal
      • in groups
      • giving
      • cannot be achieved with substances
      • never leads to addiction
      • serotonin
  • Happiness is more important and better to experience than pleasure!
  • Dopamine addictive, serotonin is not
    • Dopamine is what your brain releases when you try addictive drugs
    • Serotonin when you feel a wave of joy from being with the people you love
    • Act with your receptors differently
