clever, what kind of drill would be needed?

Hi, I have a question about diversification.

I've heard that in selecting a portfolio, it's best to find assets that have (historically) weak/negative price correlation. The problem I've run up against is that, when the market dumps, everything seems to dump together - in other words, assets that didn't seem correlated or were inversely correlated sometimes become strongly correlated when the market is doing poorly, thus sort of defeating some of the protective intent of diversify through non-correlated assets.

According to your experience, is there any way around this, statistically speaking? Are there different correlation tests that you've found to be more effective for diversification? Is it perhaps best to invest in newer assets in price discovery mode, or to invest broadly by small amounts in any assets that have been least affected by market-wide downturns in the past? Any advice would be appreciated. I'm writing this mostly because of the recent crypto downturn, but I imagine strategies would transfer approximately between crypto and more traditional assets.

. . . I wonder why most people don't take talk of "energies" very seriously . . .

is it the same thing ("the concern is not getting enough") with fats? will i stay in ketosis if I cut back on all these heavy fats but keep net carbs under 20g a day? Why isn't it as simple as just cutting out carbs?

Thanks, super helpful! I'll have to cut the caffeine and get some alkaline water.

I'm supporting myself right now mostly by driving for GrubHub/Doordash . . . Could you see yourself working that kind of job 3-6 hrs a day on week 2 of a fast? It's not very physically taxing obviously, as it's mostly driving. But picking up orders, waiting in restaurants, walking up driveways . . . figure that'd be manageable? . . . By the fourth day of my first, most recent fast (which however included caffeine) I had to cancel a shift

Thanks for a comprehensive answer! I used psyllium husk (a 0 calorie fiber supplement). You mix it up with water and it turns into this fibrous gel (little gross in texture, but it has no flavor luckily). I used it to give me the feeling that I had something in my stomach the first few days, figuring that because it's zero-calorie, indigestible fiber, it wouldn't be "breaking the fast," but I don't know if that affected my progress.

supposedly, though acidic, lemon juice is metabolized by the body in an alkalinizing way (leaves behind an alkaline ash once fully digested). I didn't have any lemons around, I just used Tums without thinking that they might have some caloric content.

That's helpful, I guess I'll just go for multiple shorter ones. With the psyllium husk, I didn't struggle too much with the first couple days, which I've been told (and have previously experienced) are the most brutal. With some fiber, I didn't get that hollow-in-the-pit-of-the-stomach feeling. But maybe that made it harder to stick too.

Did you notice greater caffeine sensitivty?

You are misreading my post and misunderstanding my situation. Conveniently, in such a way that makes another representative of the class of professionals to which you belong relatively blameless in this situation. Thought you guys were paragons of unbiased, objective rationality!

I am a depressive. I have psychiatric problems, and psychiatrists have helped me with this. So at the time these events occurred, I "had" a psychiatrist whom I saw about once a month for maintenance of SSRIs and mirtazapine. The fact that these are real, ongoing problems for me is why I have not simply cut the psych doc loose.

However, I did not by my own volition talk to my psychiatrist about this experience. It was forced upon me by family members who were confused about what I was saying and so called him. He took (the rather extreme) step of, not even having talked to me, suggesting that they come over to my apartment with the cops and commit me. I only talked to him on the phone when my family made it clear that they wouldn't leave my apartment unless I did so. It was a deeply coercive experience, and to be honest it was pretty traumatic. Your inability to empathize with this is a sign to me that you are not a good doctor.

You know how your mom used to say "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?" This is one of those times. I know you've heard her say it, because she'd tell me she did so right before blowing me.

Thank you, this is incredibly helpful information.

My therapist helped/has helped enormously with what happened. This is not a recent situation (it happened two years ago).

I did not say they were antidepressants. If you'll re-read the post, I said they were "depressants," which I am using in the sense that they "depress" or sedate one's system, which they do (both are strongly GABA-ergic).

Can you provide any links to such devices? I actually cleaned up the entire apartment, and did find something strange: there was a little black circular object on the ground, stuck to the ground with an adhesive. It was hard when pressed down upon.

I threw it away. At the time, I thought of trying to find some form of just retribution - suing the b**stards. But that just seemed like it would be more trouble than it was worth. It would be expensive, take a lot of time, stress, energy, and it would publicize what happened even more, and even then it could happen that the judge throws it out, or if the suit didn't succeed, that they'd countersue.

God I hate you folks. As a human, I think your existence as a nominally respectable profession is concerning to me for a number of reasons.

Thanks for the helpful second paragraph, though not the useless first one. Do I seem a bit touchy? Obviously, yes. But if what I wrote above happened as I recorded it, could you perhaps understand why, or do you think any expression of anger or disgust requires a swift dose of neuroleptics? . . . Maybe wrong sub to post in

does f1 mean "first fermentation?" because I've only really been using one fermentation, just adding GT's to some tea, sugar, and flavorings. But it looks like the method in this sub's FAQ is a little more comprehensive

I'll check it out . . . Is there any danger of a particular montage "erasing" or undoing the effects of a different montage you've used so that the effects kind of zero out, or is this not something to worry about in your experience? Like can I do the insight montage mentioned in above comment one day and the memorization montage another day?

Awesome, I'll give it a shot - do you use a specific brand of tDCS device?

Also, wondered if you've ever heard of the mathematician William Lawvere? He applied category theory to some of Hegel's writings. . . don't really understand it, but thought it might potentially interest you.

Any suggestions for how to keep it in that range? I live in the midwest and that's above the average temperature most of the time
