Atmospheric Speculations & Immortality

How people potentially lived for centuries:

Dr. Peat speculated a big factor to increased health and longevity at high altitude is the lower oxygen pressure and increased CO2 causing the so called “lactate paradox”. (R)

There’ve been examples of animals surviving for centuries because they’d been incapsulated in a very high CO2 environment.

Breathing pure oxygen lowers the oxygen content of tissues; breathing rarefied air, or air with carbon dioxide, oxygenates and energizes the tissues; if this seems upside down, it's because medical physiology has been taught upside down. And respiratory physiology holds the key to the special functions of all the organs, and to many of their basic pathological changes. (R)

There’s enough evidence to show that a little over 4000 years ago, during the previous vapor canopy, the atmosphere was very different: CO2 levels were over 3000 to 9000ppm compared to today’s 420ppm.

A few centuries ago the CO2 bottomed out at round 175ppm. (Plants die around 150ppm).
O2 levels used to be >30% but currently sit around 21%. (People start having cognitive issues around 19%).

So what was going on when the CO2 levels were over 3000ppm?

- Increased humidity
- No deserts
- Mega flora
- Huge animals
- Giant people
- Increased conductivity
- Increased metabolism
- Healthier & longer lives

What not many take into consideration is the increased atmospheric electricity at higher altitudes:
For every 1 meter you go up in the air, the voltage increases by about 100V and paired with higher humidity, interesting things happen. St. Elmo’s Fire is a good example.

We also know that negatively charged air, or ionized air has health benefits.

Now stack all of this on top of each other, including electrofield technology and a clear picture starts to form.

We can speculate that in such an atmosphere it would be difficult to kill someone, your metabolism would be so high, you could regenerate entire limbs.
A single breath would sustain you for ten minutes. Individuals would possess superhuman strength and significantly enhanced brainpower. Diseased bodies would need to be incinerated to prevent them from turning into soulless, zombie-like organisms. Genetic material in a bottle imbued with intention could grow homunculi… etcetera.

This is what things might’ve looked like in one version of the past and provides a glimpse into our future potential.

I pray for the post peat vapor canopy era to rejuvenate our tired bodies. Need to live up to at least 500. This short lifespan is unnatural.

I do think we’re at the end stages of this hard-mode dungeon and I like to look at it as a great opportunity to gain experience points. I think you ought to strive to become as much as you can be in a healthy and playful way.

Also this 👆

Edited, same person different lighting

😐 is how the masses initially reacted to all the other things i.e. PUFA being bad, estrogen bad, sugar good.

Do you realize seed oils being bad is downstream from Dr. Peat?

I don’t like to put anyone on a pedestal but I don’t know of anyone that spent the majority of his life researching and experimenting and shaping such a comprehensive, structured overview of biological energy and life itself, as Ray Peat.

Life supports life.
Structure creates function and function creates more structure.

Also I’m very early with trends guys. Something to keep in mind.

Speaking of trends. Cbum got parasitepilled.

Tbf it’s not a trend I want to see people get into atm, the majority of people are already hypometabolic and energy deprived.

Putting stressful substances into your body and fasting is not something most people should be prioritizing imv

I’m going to stop eating ice cream and hamburgers. It’s time… for the sugar diet.
