Just because your heart rate is lower does it mean you’re any healthier however. This is just ridiculous measurement it means nothing.
The sauna might be acting like any other drug. There are a lot of drugs that will lower nighttime heart rate. Does that mean those drugs are healthier for you?
If your resting heart rate is lower without any drugs, it indicates that your heart can cause sufficient oxygen to be delivered to your organs with less effort than if it were higher. That can be caused by a variety of things (including stroke volume, capillary dilation and general obstruction (or not) of blood vessels). These are all good proxies for general health.
Drugs lowering your resting heart rate do not indicate this in the same way.
First, FISA was created in 1978 to protect Americans from the CIA by forcing them to show probably casuse. Section 702 of FISA is about intercepting any foreigners communications for which they need no warrent.
But the CIA incidentally collects data of U.S citizens during these warrentless wire taps, and that would be the 4th amendment challenge, but so far that is going nowhere.
Close but a lot of this, as Sen Wyden points out, turns on how NSA and DoJ lawyers define terms. So you get situations where bulk collection of communications of Americans to Americans into a data center isn't considered interception until a human looks at it. There's so much we don't know because the policies/legal interpretation and the FISA court rulings on them are secret. Sen Wyden tries to warn but he can only hint at the real dangers and policies
There's also the game that they play where they spoof BGP announcements that cause routing changes for domestic traffic that makes it flow out and then back into the US, making it fair game for collection. Also, our Five Eyes partners aren't prohibited from collecting on US targets, and we all share.
Oh wow, that's crazy because people from the USA are always saying how unique and powerful the Constitution is and how many freedoms the USA has.
It seems almost like the USA is similar to other countries where the state does whatever they like. I bet that can't be true though surely because the USA has so many freedoms? You must be mistaken
we need to tax (update: sorry, not wealth) income.
90% tax on all income over $100 million. That would mean anyone making $500 million would still be bringing in $40 million a year. If you need more than $40 million a year you are just greedy and want to be some kind of king.
This would also mean the power of wealth would be neutralized.
There is a middle class, but it is the worst place to be. The best two places to be are rich or poor. The middle class are all suckers, they are making the rich richer and are supporting the poor.
The traditional economist/polisci view is that laws favor the middle class (the largest voting group) at the expense of the poor (who don’t benefit from most services) and rich (who pay most taxes).
It is insane to me that anyone could look at the US Economy right now and think this was a good time to start a business. Between the war, AI, a pending economic recession (look at bond prices), all I see is failure. Maybe a funeral home, but that is all I can think of.
I cannot dance anymore so I am useless. I am dead.
Those beliefs are the problem, not her ALS.
Creating attachments leads to this suffering. Do not be surprised if you suffer when they are taken away. Acceptance is the answer, not these fake and silly tech toys. Because guess what? She is still not dancing.
Creating attachments is also human, and shapes your sense of identity. In turn, your identity and sense of belonging makes you relate to other people and creates bonding, which we need as social animals.
Your stoic approach is valuable, but it’s a different mindset from most people and not something innate to humans.
So yes, her “beliefs” exacerbate the problem, but they are also entirely normal beliefs to have

It is not an approach, it is an understanding. And it is not Stoicism, it is Buddhism.

Just because they are normal beliefs, it does not make them healthy.
Understanding how suffering arises helps us when we lose our attachments. I am in no way saying do not from attachments, but to understand the suffering that is created when you form them.
