Yeah, for every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, this law of physics is consistent in the human psyche and biology as well. all pleasure brings equal suffering, and vice versa. That's why people in first world countries are suicidal now more than ever, they have burnt out their natural reward systems and have nihilistic ideology as a result of hitting the hedonistic ceiling, mistaking it to be the greatest good one could achieve in life. The churches and monasteries always knew the importance of building character from adversity and temperance. All empires fall just decades after abandoning the faith and ideologies that brought them to power.

Good thread.
And like money, it's easier to build up when you've got a lot to start out with. So save up!

Fuck off hebe.

It is an idea of the neostoics to limit all pleasures in life, across the board. You're probably right.
Honestly, even fruits in moderation. We've bred them to be 1000s of times sweeter than they were in the wild. Sugar basically only occurred naturally in great amounts in honey… that's it. Sugar is a cancer and one of the final /ironpill/s is to quit craving sweetness at all.

Yep, eat only… what now? Oatmeal and kale? what about hebrew nationals?

While your /sig/ OP is well intentioned, the explanation of how hard drugs fuck your body and the weak analogy to money both don't work.

Nice dubdubs with a trip but that's not what I meant. I mean that ideally one should not eat sweets, fruit is okay in small amounts but understand that sugar, even if fructose and if surrounded by the natural fiber of fruit is sometimes food. You can't be a proper Aryan specimen if you aren't in peak physical form.

Got sauce or screencap for that? Sounds juicy
