Hello friends,
It seems to me that Ray Peat himself is not about diet per se, but rather is mainly concerned with a certain sense of life. He has mentioned that he chose to go into nutrition because it is the way that most people interact with the world in an empirical, non-ideological way, and so is the best means of awakening people to the true nature of reality.
So perhaps it is more important for us, his "followers" or influenced audience, to live in a Peatist manner than to be overly obsessive about diet? He has recently emphasized the need to be brave and fight back against the evil in the world rather than retreating into positive thinking and political quietism.
So should we be living in a radically empirical, open-minded, romantically anti-authoritarian, creative state of permanent revolution, prepared to die for the right to remain human, and focus less on longevity and reducing gray hairs?
I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this.
