By implication, a great deal of our health and mental wellness can be traced back to diet and lifestyle. Things like smoking, sugar, diet soda, preservatives and antibiotics all negatively affect the gut biome, which in turn affects not only our health but our state of mind.
The good news, you can positively impact it with healthy lifestyle choices and probiotic foods - such as Kombucha, active yogurt, fermented foods, etc.
And, of course - fresh and young fecal transplants. Mmmm. Fecal transplants. I've already called my first unborn grand-childs first dirty diaper, but this could be a long waiting game...at least the kids know I'll be game for baby-sitting.

AN interesting read via PsyPost that human brains shrunk approximately 3000 years ago as a response to Social Intelligence (or "Shared Intelligence").
I see plenty of evidence that via Social Media, cell phones, etc - the next level of "Social Intelligence" - are shrinking and atrophying our brains yet again, and further...

An abundance of smoking guns, a death toll in the tens of millions, and even as they show us the guns and the bodies and the bullet holes they're persuading us, assuring us, that the origins of the pandemic are entirely natural.
I am beginning to doubt it very much.
It is more an exercise in communal stupidity...how far can they push it and how much do they think we'll swallow...

Open source religion. Or, perhaps a better word might be spirituality.
A lot of people probably have the practice of it, just not the label.

Now - I mean, there are still a staggering number of people that buy the "Wet Market" hypothesis, which while not exonerating China is a little more acceptable than the "Lab Leak" hypothesis.
But then there's this, Wilson Edwards, a "Swiss Biologist" invented by Chinese Social Media to disseminate lies and doubt about the politicization of Covid.

Now how on earth can anyone trust anything China says about ANYTHING AT ALL? I MEAN - REALLY - if EVERYTHING you say is a LIE - then it follows if your LIPS ARE MOVING CHANCES ARE GOOD YOUR LYING!
This is not even the first or second time that China's tried this - there was previously the MAINE LOBSTER HYPOTHESIS (link) - in which China tried to pin the origins of Covid on Maine Lobsters. Or that it came out of Fort Detrick (link).
It is appalling that we - or any other first world nation - continue to have any traffic or commerce with them. It is overdue that we start choosing our friends based upon their good characters and reputations within the international community. And - some countries should have NO ACCESS TO THE INTERNET at all. We can't stop them from lying to their own people - but we can stop them lying to the world at large.
Much like a lot of our friends and relatives, some people don't have the requisite brains or education to be allowed to hold opinions, or trusted to vet every bit of disinformation they read. And I'm increasingly of a mind to think that Opinions are a Privilege that reasonably require you having done some hard research before entertaining.
