Day 7 - June 7, 2025 | Rest? Recovery? What Sleep Environment?

  • THE HYPERLINKS FOR THE DAY AND TOPIC ARE PROVIDED TO ADD DETAIL The links go active after lite review, but it's not possible to really correct all biases and subtle errors, generally hyperlinked materials will be mostly AI responses. Anyone reading this could use this approach, possibly to inform their own approach to investigation and research...or even as the way NOT to do investigation and research. The important thing is to be very skeptical of popular media responses, which AI regurgitates, to think about what is missing or being ever so slightly misrepresented or which points are being exagerated or buried.
  • The POINT is ... you're NOT resting, recovering or sleeping ... because you're watching all kinds of vid content ... shorts, youtube, weather vlogs, news programs, sports highlights, vid snippets on X and all kinds of things that you like to watch or even imagine that you need to follow in order be well-informed.
  • Never mind optimizing your bedroom for summer sleep quality; there are way, way, way bigger fish that you might be trying to fry, instead of RECOVERING, RESTING and doing everything necessary to SLEEP
  • Why and how does video, media consumption completely undermine all of time mgmt discipline ... include the part of time management that is also consistent bedtime routine ... Netflix, ESPN, Spotify, YouTube, news orgs, and all kinds of empires UNDERSTAND why the main competitor to their content is your SLEEP.
  • Sure, of course temp, light, noise matter ... BUT the 800-lb monstrous BigFoot or Yeti is THE video in the room is what is keeping you from optimizing your time mgmt, your sleep schedule, your thoughts while you are laying there ... NOT SLEEPING ... there are all kinds of things that you can't change about your work, where you live right now, your physical ailments -- BUT you can change your media discipline, if you stop being an idiot and recognize that you have a problem.
  • Recognize how vid algorithms and dopamine mgmt by someone else controls you; think about who's controlling your video-watching algorithm and WHY you have abdicated responsibility ... sure, it's NOT exactly just like meth, but the mechanism very similar ... and watching vids is not only socially acceptable, you probably have an annoying friend who sends you those vids, because he's trying to under the token-governed AI services industry for making addictive videos which help drive the monetization schemes in a variety new business models he's enthalled by ... if you want to sleep better, first you have to JUST SAY NO TO VIDEOS!

Day 8 - June 8, 2025 | Stress Management: Baseline Assessment

  • THE HYPERLINKS FOR THE DAY AND TOPIC ARE PROVIDED TO ADD DETAIL The links go active after lite review, but it's not possible to really correct all biases and subtle errors, generally hyperlinked materials will be mostly AI responses. Anyone reading this could use this approach, possibly to inform their own approach to investigation and research...or even as the way NOT to do investigation and research. The important thing is to be very skeptical of popular media responses, which AI regurgitates, to think about what is missing or being ever so slightly misrepresented or which points are being exagerated or buried.
  • THINK about this, but don't just think -- you have to approach it with serious intention that you are going to finally DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. Sure, you can start by identifying your current stress triggers and responses ... sing a few verses of kum-bay-yah ... but don't continue to be a passive fuck -- MOVE ON quickly on to attacking and optimizing stress. Stop playing DEFENSE! When it comes to stress, you need to be on the OFFENSIVE side of the ball ... and you don't ever want to just punt.
  • PRACTICE basic breathing and breathwork techniques for at least 10-15 minutes every day, to build the discipline ... to gradually become more and more and MORE aware of how badly you are actually carrying your stress ... or else, just wash your high blood pressure pills down with a stiff drink or two and die early like you're supposed to, according the expecations in the actuarial tables, because that's what people tend to do and turning humans into to passive prey-animal victims of stress really does wonders for keeping the insurance companies profitable and the staff who at hospitals who could get jobs elsewhere gainfully employed
  • Create or DEVELOP A BETTER peaceful morning transition-to-getting-shit-done-from-your-4-AM-holy-hour-wake-up routine ... if you don't continually develop and improve upon this routine, your life will go back into the shitter like it always has ... getting up at 4 AM for prayer/reflection and then TRANSITIONING into snarling attack mode is the key to happiness ... and having a strong OFFENSIVE capability.
  • Establish or improve upon your end-of-day stress release discipline, ie this is not JUST about knocking the crap out of the heavy bag, but peacefully letting go of stress is WHY you need something you can really pound the living eff out of. Before bedtime ... you wanna leave'r all on the field, as they say.

Day 9 - June 9, 2025 | Hydration: Water Quality Evaluation

On Water Quality, Information Warfare, and the Disgusting Art of Deliberately Missing the Point

  • Today's examination of water quality data demonstrates why extracting accurate information from artificial intelligence systems has become roughly as reliable as asking a politician for an honest answer. These systems manage, spin, and propagandize their output with the same enthusiasm that media organizations bring to their craft.

  • The water quality information provided was maddeningly almost correct—which makes it infinitely more dangerous than being completely wrong. Here's the pivotal fact that somehow got buried under layers of algorithmic hand-wringing: The worst nitrate level ever recorded by Rock Rapids Municipal Waterworks was 0.5 parts per million.

  • Let me repeat that for those in the back: Rock Rapids has never tested anywhere close to 1 ppm for nitrates. Half a part per million represents our absolute worst day. Had our levels exceeded 0.5 ppm, you can bet the AI would have trumpeted that higher number with the same enthusiasm it showed when reporting the worst regional levels in a report supposedly tailored for a Rock Rapids resident.

  • The Expensive Solution to a Non-Problem

  • Citizens are free to spend their money on whatever gadgets strike their fancy, but there exists no rational need to push expensive, maintenance-intensive reverse osmosis filtration systems—except as part of a broader campaign of nutritional and fitness misinformation that flows from our media establishment like water from a broken dam.

  • Of course, media orgs are not interest in citizen budgets -- they are interested in the gigantic Santa Claus budgets of governments and driving public investment in unnecessarily expensive solutions, while weakening the populace.. This pattern proves intensely frustrating, which is precisely why I engage with AI systems: to experience, understand, and systematically deconstruct these frustrations.

  • The Larger Game

  • This disinformation campaign represents political power wielded to aggravate already destructive habits—much like tobacco advocacy once dominated American politics. We've learned that an occasional cigar or pipe poses minimal threat (though athletes understand exactly how it affects performance). The real issue involves balance and perspective: we ignore small problems at our peril, because serious health consequences follow from any regular practice that systematically undermines one's wellbeing.

  • Regular consumption of insufficient meat presents a far bigger problem, especially for older males whose bodies convert food to muscle less efficiently. For the aging male, inadequate meat consumption likely poses greater health risks than daily cigarette smoking, unless one prefers growing weak and losing strength at an accelerated pace.

  • Understanding nitrate propaganda requires recognizing its connection to grain, livestock, and meat production policies.

  • The Political Weapon

  • Politicizing nitrate policy serves as part of an aggressive media campaign designed to devastate flyover country economics. This broader campaign systematically advocates for constraining meat consumption while promoting "healthy whole grains," tolerating higher carbohydrate consumption, endorsing low-fat processed foods, and generally ensuring Americans believe sugar-based diets pose no threat.

  • Here's the uncomfortable truth: Sugar is the poison, not protein—and certainly not the slightly elevated nitrate levels found in water from regions that produce most of our nation's meat and grain (the grain that feeds the livestock producing affordable meat for everyone).

  • Propagandizing nitrate policy through hyperinflated fears serves a larger agenda: sugar-loading American diets, shifting food preferences, driving insulin resistance epidemics, encouraging people to ignore the Warburg effect, and generally creating conditions where cancers worsen and metastasize.

  • What We Should Actually Fear

  • Regular sugar consumption poses extreme danger ... that means ANYTHING has been sweetened. Foods do not NEED to be sweetened; sweetness ADDICTS need to sweeten foods; that especially includes artificial sweeteners, which are far worse than sugar ... but sweetening is tolerated, even promoted. Sugar and the promotion of sweetness as healthy should face the same scrutiny we apply to nitrates. People shouldn't need sugar—sugar added to yogurt, sugar added to rhubarb. People should crave meat, not sugar, carbohydrates, and snacks.

The so-called "recommended" protein consumption levels fall radically below optimal requirements, particularly for older adults. Yes, nitrates in water from meat-producing regions run higher than elsewhere, but remain safe—certainly safer than the standard American diet.

  • The Science Behind the Scare

The Maximum Contaminant Level for nitrate in drinking water stands at 10 mg/L (10 parts per million), measured as nitrate-nitrogen. Nothing's wrong with this standard, but understand: it was set at an extremely conservative level to prevent blue-baby syndrome.

Blue-baby syndrome represents an extremely serious condition — it's simply rarely encountered, ie have you ever seen in an infant of a friend or family member ... not a newborn, because newborns can look like they've just finished something very traumatic, but an infant? Have you EVER seen blue baby syndrome? Historical cases involved infants exposed continuously to levels orders of magnitude worse than 10 mg/L. Not merely one hundred times worse—think one thousand times worse, where manure runoff from farming operations flowed directly into wells and rivers supplying drinking water ... people affected reported noticing hairs from animal carcasses that had showed up in their drinking water, ie unnervingly DIRECT runoff.

Hopefully, that is so glaringly obvious that we don't need to remind one another why must prevent such direct contamination, but this hardly constitutes a widespread concern for the general population ... that kind of thing is EXTREMELY RARE ... other things like getting insufficient meat in one's daily diet are common, even prevalent.

OF COURSE, tf water tested above 10 mg/L, reverse osmosis treatment would prove necessary ... a good idea even if the levels are routinely within spiking distance of 10 mg/L. Nobody debates the wisdom of avoiding excessive nitrates in drinking water but this is how media/news orgs and AI dished up for public consumption totally gaslights the public into pushing them into a fear-mongered mindset that bears only the outlines of any relation to factual Reality.

  • The Reality Check

The worst nitrate level ever reported by Rock Rapids Municipal Waterworks was 0.5 ppm.

I confess: the propaganda affected even me. I used to read the news. I understood the science of why nitrates are bad. So my concerns drove me to spend money confirming, re-confirming, then re-re-confirming our low nitrate levels through multiple home water tests sent to different private laboratories.

The results confirmed, or were much lower than what the municipal data already showed: The worst nitrate level ever reported by Rock Rapids Municipal Waterworks was 0.5 ppm. *Of course, that level could spike to a level that would be an order of magnitude higher ... but 5 ppm is still SAFE, in fact MORE than SAFE, still only half the extra-safe canary-coughing-in-coalmine levels of the MCL.

I apologize ... sort of, but not really ... for the pedantic repititions, because the most important facts bear repeating ... EAT MORE MEAT; DRINK MORE WATER ... it's fine to check on quality every so often, but generally EAT MORE MEAT; DRINK MORE WATER.

Day 10 - June 10, 2025 | Mobility, Time Management, and Spiritual Habit-Stacking

To kick this thing off, AI were requested to:

  • Analyze the core principles of habit stacking and the Pomodoro Technique, and research how to synthesize these methods to create a sustainable daily mobility practice for an older adult.
  • Find expert-recommended 10-minute morning mobility routines for individuals over 60, focusing on assessment-based movements for the spine, hips, and shoulders from physical therapy and geriatric fitness sources.
  • Research short, 4-minute mobility workouts (WODs) or TABATA-style routines that are suitable for breaking up periods of sitting and can be integrated with focused work sessions.
  • Investigate the philosophy of using movement to understand pain drivers, including the safe application of therapeutic stress like hanging or deep stretching to build resilience, drawing from mobility experts and physical therapists.
  • Explore Christian theological perspectives on the body, physical health as stewardship, and the connection between physical sensations like stiffness and emotional or spiritual states like stress and anxiety.
  • Develop a set of contemplative prompts by pairing specific physical feelings (e.g., shoulder tension, hip stiffness) with reflective questions and relevant Bible verses that address themes of carrying burdens, finding rest, and renewal.
  • Create a practical framework that demonstrates how to pair a 25-minute work session with a specific 4-minute mobility break, suggesting which movements best counteract the stiffness accumulated during sedentary focus.
  • Synthesize all research into a comprehensive backgrounder, structuring the information logically from principles to practice, integrating the physical and spiritual components, and citing significant references throughout.

Day 11 - June 11, 2025 | Transformative Discipleship Technology (TDT)

  • Today is for SPIRITUAL fitness. Transformative Discipleship Technology (TDT) is just a name or acronym or shorthand for the approach of personally applying the principles of Celebrate Recovery or a 12-step program or SPIRITUAL fitness program ... but TDT does acknowledge that is NECESSARY to *go on offense against addictive tendencies, rather than to just accept and wait for magic to happen ... that means ACTIVE, prayerful fighting of addictions and this requires full SUBMISSION to the higher power ... not simply asking for Santa Claus to give us a better life, maybe by taking away an addiction -- because WITHOUT SUBMISSION, there will a tendency to substitute brand new pursuits, perhaps more defensible addictions, ie to status, material wealth, comfortable affluence, sugared-up diets, highly addictive foods, new hobbies or more pets or a bigger garden, ie the FOCUS of discipleship is on unceasing prayer, not on showing off or making lots of noise or somehow evangelically conquering others.
  • First, the AI was directed to thoroughly analyze the a provided rough draft of work on Transformative Discipleship Technology (TDT). Concurrently, research the core principles, steps, and philosophies of both Celebrate Recovery and traditional 12-step programs to establish a foundational understanding for comparison.
  • Rewrite the 'Introduction' and 'Objectives' sections to immediately and clearly frame TDT as a personal, prayer-centric 'shorthand' or 'framework' for applying the principles of established recovery programs, not as a standalone alternative. Emphasize that its purpose is self-improvement by explicitly stating, 'we are here to fix ourselves; we are not here to fix other people.'
  • Systematically revise the entire curriculum, from Phase 1 through Phase 4 and the 'Community and Support' section. Infuse the core message of TDT being a supplementary personal practice throughout all descriptions, lesson focuses, and practical exercises.
  • Find additional supporting materials to bolster the curriculum's arguments. This includes: (a) Identifying more scripture passages that align with each lesson's theme (e.g., humility, surrender, making amends) AND (b) Locating theological or psychological articles that discuss the spiritual challenges of modern materialism and addiction, which can be integrated into the introduction.
  • Address the 'bootcamp' concept by rewriting the 'Structure' and 'Organizing a TDT Bootcamp' sections. Clarify that 'bootcamp' is a metaphor for the intense, continuous, and disciplined personal effort required for recovery, rather than a formal, organized event [although TDT could be structured as a workshop ... a formal event is optional].
  • Review the 'Tools and Resources' section to ensure the language aligns with the decentralized, personal-framework model, reinforcing that these are suggestions for an individual's toolkit, not requirements for a formal program.
  • Synthesize all revisions into a new, cohesive document. Perform a final review to ensure the tone is consistently humble and that the key principle of 'fixing ourselves, not others' is repeated for emphasis at critical points in the text.

Day 12 - June 12, 2025 | Strength Training: Upper Body Focus

Today is for FUNCTIONAL strength training, with an upper body focus that includes PULLING and MOVEMENT to exercise and during exercise. MOST, if not ALL of the available AARP-style conventional wisdom upper body fitness material is JUNK, evidently designed to propel old males into assisted living seniorcare ... the traditional approach to eldercare strength training is even worse than using the same training program that some highschool coach dipstick rolls out for kiddos trying to make the JV football or wrestling teams. The worst stuff are the chair exercise fads and similar idiocies that feature SITTING ... seated exercises are almost bad as the MORONS who drive to gyms or rec centers to exercise -- the boneheads should stop driving and just walk, but other old geezers need to get their damned asses out of their barcaloungers, throw all of the chairs out of their house and work a lot harder at just NOT EVER SITTING. The weightbearing of alternatives to sitting are better than any exercise plan that involves sitting or comfortably enjoying a pleasant drive to exercise. STAND UP, dipsticks!

  • After some iterative prep to correct the most eggegrious AARP-style eldercare fitness poison, the AI was directed to research the scientific literature on the physiological differences between standing and seated resistance training for older adults, focusing on muscle activation, postural benefits, and metabolic impact to build a strong case against chair-based exercises.
  • Investigate the biomechanics of the specific pulling exercises listed (e.g., face pulls, archer rows). Find studies or expert analyses on their effectiveness for targeting posterior chain muscles, improving shoulder health, and correcting posture in a senior population.
  • Find evidence-based guidelines on proper breathing techniques (e.g., diaphragmatic breathing, controlled exhalation) during resistance training for seniors to maximize stability and minimize risks like blood pressure spikes.
  • Analyze the functional movements involved in real-world scenarios like recovering from a fall or the specific actions of archery. Map the muscle groups and movement patterns of these activities to the recommended exercises to deepen the rationale.
  • Search for additional standing-only upper body exercises that integrate pulling strength with dynamic movement to improve balance, flexibility, and fluid posture. Research compound movements like walking rows or lunges with rows, and explore principles from disciplines like Tai Chi that combine strength with active motion.
  • Find physical therapy and gerontology resources detailing safe exercise modifications for common age-related shoulder injuries. Focus on how to adjust range of motion, resistance, and form for pulling exercises to prevent re-injury.
  • Research the principles of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss) in men over 60 and how targeted, standing pulling exercises can specifically counteract this process more effectively than generalized or seated routines.
  • Synthesize all gathered scientific information to revise and deepen the provided text. Integrate citations, more detailed physiological explanations, and a robust, evidence-backed philosophy for the standing-only, functional approach to senior fitness.

Day 13 - June 13, 2025 | Cardiovascular Health: Outdoor Summer Cardio

  • After some iterative prep ... to try to weed out the crap that one gets from AARP, Heart Assn, Cancer Society, Diabetes Fountations, BigMedicine, etc ... the AI was prompted to find authoritative guidelines on cardiovascular exercise for men over 65, including recommended types, frequency, duration, and intensity levels for improving heart health.
  • Research methods to transform gardening, landscaping, and other outdoor work into effective cardiovascular workouts. Investigate techniques like high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for yard work and incorporating bodyweight exercises into outdoor tasks.
  • Analyze the Transformative Discipleship Technology TDT Curriculum and identify specific principles, lessons, and practices that can be integrated with physical activity.
  • Develop concrete examples of how to merge the TDT curriculum with outdoor cardio. For instance: (a) Connecting the 'Daily prayer of surrender' (Lesson 1) to the beginning of a gardening session. (b) Using the 'Constant Prayer' practice (Lesson 7) as a framework for mindful breaks during physical labor. (c) Aligning a long, reflective hike with the moral inventory and forgiveness exercises (Lessons 10 & 12).(d) Framing all physical work as an act of service and worship as described in Phase 4.
  • Find techniques for enhancing body awareness and proprioception during exercise without using electronic gadgets. Focus on mindful movement, breathwork, and internal feedback loops to monitor exertion and physical sensations.
  • Synthesize the findings into something approximating a holistic framework that combines productive outdoor cardio with spiritual reflection, detailing how to use physical activity as a medium for the prayerful and intuitive disciplines outlined in the TDT curriculum.

Day 14 - June 14, 2025 | Nutrition: Adopting a Fasting Lifestyle For Summer

  • After some iterative prep, which is necessary in this info war we are living through ... to try to HACK OUT the NICE crap advice that one gets from AARP, Heart Assn, Cancer Society, Diabetes Fountations, BigMedicine, etc ... I mean "SERIOUSLY, WTF?!" Fuck the bs advice like "research local summer produce availability" and not just because I have a garden -- I am definitely not going to waste ANY time visiting the damned farmer's market WHICH ONLY SELLS HONEY, JELLIES, JAMS, PIES, CANDIES, BARS AND VARIOUS BAKED GOODS, ie ALL are complete POISON! ... of course, I will use raw foods for hot weather, after all -- I tend to eat broccoli florets as I pull weeds and I am also on the lookout for gooseberries/currants/bush cherries that I missed in my backyard ... but, I SURE AS LIVING FUCK AM NOT going to "practice mindful eating with summer fruit like melons", TERRIBLE ADVICE!!! The fructose and the sugar water in melons is almost poison -- whereas aronia berries are ok like rhubarb for the same reason, ie extremely low glycemic index, next to NO fructose and too astringent to allow anyone to overeat them ... so after pulling the weeds in the initial nutritional bs info ... the AI was prompted to find authoritative guidelines on Adopting a Fasting Lifestyle for a 65-Year-Old Man in Summer; the first step is analyze the material from the hyperlink, ingest its core recommendations on OMAD, the Warrior Diet, and extended fasting for a 65-year-old man as the BEGINNING of a prompt.
  • For each fasting method found in research, the AI is to find additional and more recent scientific research (post-2022) to elaborate on the benefits and risks for older adults, particularly regarding metabolic health, muscle mass preservation, and the mortality concerns cited in the document.
  • Deepen the analysis of fasting during hot weather by researching the combined physiological stress of heat and fasting on the cardiovascular and renal systems in seniors. Find specific recommendations for electrolyte types and dosages (sodium, potassium, magnesium) to prevent dehydration and imbalance.
  • Investigate the connection between the summer season and appetite control. Explore how factors like increased daylight, outdoor activity, and ambient temperature can influence circadian rhythms, metabolism, and the hormones that regulate hunger (ghrelin and leptin), potentially making summer an opportune time to start a fasting regimen.
  • Expand on the nutritional guidance in the document. Based on the concept of using garden produce, create a more detailed plan to ensure a 65-year-old man meets all micronutrient and macronutrient needs (especially protein, calcium, and Vitamin B12) within a compressed eating window.
