You are being conditioned to a narrative. There are far better things to do.
Stop Imagining; Do Something Big Instead
Follow Me on Parler
If you want. If anyone is wondering where my Twitter presence went, they summarily bombed my account after 13 years and 7,000 followers; and as usual, completely erroneously. Another user didn't like what I wrote, said if I do it again: "I'll end you." I quoted it back, mocked him, and gave him my physical address. Of course, that makes me the one threatening violence. That's your Brave ...
I Want You To Think Diet and Lifestyle
I said I am getting back into diet advocacy. This is true. What I have come to realize—in both the intervening years since I was a Paleo Diet influencer and in the year since I've been an expat in Thailand—is that the diet part is damn easy. What fucks you up is the life you live. I'd say lead, but that's not it. You follow a so-called life, don't you? And diet is just a menu item and you ...
Is it Time to Turn Back My Attention to Weight Loss?
So is the whole world, not just America. No matter where in the world you look—no matter which gender, which race, which culture, which geographical area, which standard diet—there is only one thing of which you may be absolutely certain: Not one of any list list you can contrive, on average, is getting leaner, fitter, more healthy. Obesity in itself used to be the realm of the outlier. ...
Making It Easy In A World Gone Crazy
A picture is worth a thousand words, they say. Sure, 11 year old Chili to the right and 10 year old Wasabi to the left—who have grown up in the Si Sa Ket and Surin neighboring provinces of Thailand—have some experience with Western food, but only to the extent of crap in bags from 7/11. Neither have been to a McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Pizza Hut, or anything related. Not once in their ...
Covid-19: You’re Not Entitled to Your Own All-Cause Mortality
In the never-ending diet and health antagonism, it happens that researchers, clinicians, and various advocates trend toward "specialization" in a favorite cause of death. For diet and health, various forms of heart and vascular disease seem to prevail. Thus, it becomes the hammer to which everything is then its nail. You know the drill. Fat clogs your arteries, or, red meat causes cancer, ad ...
My Thoughts About The 2020 Fraudulent Election
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, let's call it 500 words of thoughts about the election circus spectacle and 500 words about considering relocating to Phuket for my beach condo/work studio. A couple of days ago I went door-to-door from my condo on Jomtien Beach, Pattaya to check-in at the Expat Hotel at Patong Beach, Phuket in 4 hours. Total cost for the taxi to Utapoa, flight ...
A COVID Cult and Clown Car Roundup
Political correctness is communist propaganda writ small. In my study of communist societies, I came to the conclusion that the purpose of communist propaganda was not to persuade or convince, not to inform, but to humiliate; and therefore, the less it corresponded to reality the better. When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they ...
You Can’t Recount Your Way Out of This
It's a hot mess inside of a shitstorm From about 1990 until midterms, 2018, I was a non-voter, even though I generally supported libertarian and conservative ideals and to limited extent, the politics that ensue. Though a non-believer in literal interpretations of religious faiths, I am nonetheless a champion for the Enlightenment values embodied in Western Civilization. I'm a conservative ...
November 3rd
Less than a week out and looking forward to forgetting about it for another 4 years. 320+, and the popular vote. Bank on it. That is all. ...
Please Wear Your Mask to Help The Spread of Covid-19
Finally some good news. Turns out, via CDC, that habitual mask wearers are the ones spreading the virus around the most. That's fantastic since the sooner everyone gets it, the sooner everyone can go meh and move on. So, wear your masks, spread the virus. Here's the CDC link: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6936a5.htm?s_cid=mm6936a5_w Of 153 positive and symptomatic ...
Thai Life Update: The Beach Condo and a Second Restaurant
I've been remiss, time to get back to it. It wasn't laziness, just a series of things that consumed my attention and focus. Plus, in some measure I'm just on-hold, waiting to see if the November election results just might constitute a cure or vaccine for the current global stupidity and insanity (the only and real virus in play). Took the family to the beach for a 4-day holiday. In total, ...
Umami Beef Pot Roast and Beef Stew
Answer: the beef stew you just made. The recipes: Pot Roast. Use this recipe to the letter for a pressure cooker, or with my adaptations for a slow cooker: INSTANT POT POT ROAST You'll get better results with a slow cooker, and you likely won't have to thicken the gravy. Do the searing of the roast on the stove top, on high, four 10 minutes per side—no touching it, and don't skimp. ...
Have You Forgotten? Richard Lothar Nikoley Doesn’t Give An Eff What You “Think”
Since I installed Facebook Purity as a Chrome extension, it shows me everyone who has unfriended me, which numbers in the few dozens recently (only 1,285 to go). Invariably, unless they blocked me too, I go check their profile and yep: Democrat-leftist Moron; always virtue-signalling something—like a child trying to convince adults how great they are by means of putting their mud pies on ...
I Told You So: Stupid Covid People
— 2+2=5 and Dornails Dumb, Including Kurt Harris, NTIR (Never-Trump Image Reader) and Stephan Guyenet, MWBBN (Mask-Wearing Biden Brown-Noser) Check their Twitter feeds if you don't believe me. Also: check all of my posts on the Covid scam-fraud—that I saw coming miles away back in February—to verify that I have been essentially RIGHT from day one, far more intuitive and widely integrated than ...

My “Magical” Fat and Weight Loss (with bonus video)
This is an expanded version of an early-access post on Patreon and SubscribeStar. Now that my recent easy loss is in excess of 10 kilo (22 pounds), I'm going to focus a lot more on this because so many people just really need it. Tomorrow I'll begin a 20-post series about The Fat Loss Blueprint, in review format. Yes, right up front, this is a program for purchase and it's not cheap. Let's get ...
Covid-19 Told-You-So PSA
One of the very first things that became apparent to me back in early March was that: Those dying "of" Covid-19 were typically old and frailOf those, most had comorbidities (other serious medical conditions) Yet the media, political, and corporate narrative of fear and panic marched on and even intensified as a means of maintaining the lie—now repeated so often and with such assuredness ...
Where Have All The Salty Expats Gone?
It'll tell you: they are overrun by fat grazing hoards of herds of Karens and Kens. When I encountered my first expats I didn't even know the word. That was in 1984, Subic Bay, Philippines. Most of them, retired Navy guys. In Angeles City, you'll find the retired Air Force. In terms of civilians, mostly Ausies—I guess because it's relatively close. But in all cases, I admired these dudes. ...
Radical Life: The Story From Deep In Rural Thailand
I'm now officially a permanent resident of Thailand, visa and all Why? Here's a recent comment on another post that provides an overview of my thinking. Essentially, one thing led to another. Hey Bret,Your last part reminded me of myself. I was all gung ho on this digital nomad thing, travelling the world in perpetuity in a 60L backpack. Well, Covid squashed that, so I end up here in rural ...
The Children Of The YouTube Delete My Video, Lie About It
— They're not ideological; It's about money, power, and control like it always is A principal aspect of children maturing into adults is the lessons they're freely allowed to experience that tend to be far different or opposite from what their child-proto-minds sought. This stems from the fact that as soon as they begin to speak in whole thoughts, in sentences, they begin as consummate liars ...
