    Working out & Cortisol, Which exercise method is best? Many conflicting perspectives (often research-backed) exist on the best ways to keep your body healthy.

    Do HIIT for cardiovascular health, it’s the best thing for your heart

    Do LISS, it’s best for longevity

    Don’t do HIIT if you’re stressed out and already have elevated cortisol, as it will elevate your cortisol more, especially if you’re a woman

    Focus on slow flowing movements because it’s what our bodies are meant for

    Women should lift heavy, it’s the best way to build muscle and protect bone density

    Women should do exercise like pilates to build long, lean bodies and keep exercise core focused

    These are some of the things I’ve heard across various platforms…Huberman, Attia, My traditional Chinese Medicine dr, and random coaches that I’ve worked with.

    What are your beliefs about staying active? Whose ideas do you subscribe to the most? What’s your workout routine?

    uptrusting because I agree and said the same thing, so I hope I’ll see more content I would agree with that I wouldn’t have known about otherwise, via you :)

    UAP are real and artifacts from non human intelligence. I just attended an event wt the capital factory in austin with some really respected people and now I’m wanting to come out: I’m convinced that UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena, the less stigmatized word for UFO):

    • are real
    • are craft from Non Human Intelligences (aliens)
    • USA gov and aerospace companies have actual materials from these craft and someone has an actual craft
    • have been hidden for security reasons for decades
    • we need to de-classify so we can put the weight of the usa innovation, research and capital markets to learn about this stuff and create technologies that benefit the wellbeing of humanity
    • we can learn to engineer einsteins relativity the way we learned to engineer Maxwell’s equations to do the crazy stuff people are seeing and seem
      Impossible

    yeah I’m glad you put this in the thread. This recognition of the temptation for me to interpret the thread this way, and that it isnt what’s happening, was probably one of the best things I got from posting this so far!...

    Current Session "instructions" (Feb 26): Converse, and see if nudges happen. nudges 

    We launched a system where the AI bots can automatically detect intervention points. We need you to make a bunch of comments and new posts to see if they'll engage. So this week we're asking you to engage a bunch, if you can!

    It's a little rudimentary at the moment so sometimes you'll get multiple bots responding on multiple posts. We'd love your feedback on which ones you like, don't, when it seemed to miss the spot, anything else you notice. 

    Thanks and love yall

    J (and the UpTrust team)
    p.s. this week I'm at an investor meeting so dara will be with you

    # [Optional Zoom](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86795216050?pwd=TllxSzYrTFFXTW5LRmg3WUQrT04vdz09) with Jordan and Dara at least, for faces, questions, help, etc:

    Premature Ejaculator? Try edging! I’ve gotten into some conversations lately with heterosexuals and How do I not prematurely ejaculate? has come up a lot.

    I never really thought about this how because from a young age I used the when you get close to cumming and it’s too early, use the grandma visualization. Grandma meaning: someone/something I don’t want to have sex with. Pick a different word if you want to boink your nana.

    This kinda got me over the hump and I never had problems but recently I filmed a scene with a tantra teacher who gave me a crash course in edging. Edging is a masturbation practice where a scale of 1-10 is used. 10 means I’m going to blow no matter what. 9 is I’m going to blow if the status quo remains. 8 is I can sense myself getting close. 1 is I’m not really horny.

    This tantra teacher ejaculated multiple times in the span of 90 minutes (5 or so?). He also had a few orgasms where he didn’t ejaculate. He said it was the result of edging training. Those further heights stimulated my interest.

    Key points:
    1. Jerk off as much as you want.
    2. Decide whether you’re going to shoot before you start.
    3. Imagine the possibility that all the energy generated somehow stores in your sexiness when you don’t cum (the teacher edges to get ready for things like social events or even sex.)
    4. Get as close to 9.5 as you can get without shooting.
    5. The practice of building it up is equally important to the practice of not hitting 10.

    I spent about a week on it and it was really clicking and enjoyable, porn or no porn.

    Then I had the idea of trying it during sex instead of masturbation.

    Key point:

    I told my boyfriend.

    I told him because he REALLY likes when I cum inside of him and our healthy codependency on that was it was a sign of connection for me to nut in him.

    I said, I’m practicing this thing. I hope you like it. You can support me in it by staying completely still when I say, hold still.

    If he wiggles or flexes his anal muscles it can take my 9 to 10.

    The first time we did it, as I got to 9, my cock was kinda dry heaving but not shooting, maybe just a drop or two came out AND he actually thought the sensation of my cock pulsating inside him was hotter. Now I probably hit 9.5 a few times each session. We still always finish with a 10 but because of all the cardio that last build up is crazy vigorous so he gets a really intense ride out of it.

    I think straight guys who tell their ladies they’re trying this are in for a treat. Sex has co-vulnerabilities. For the receiver, at least when I’m receiving, I want to be simultaneously objectified and subjectified. I want to be a hot person who’s loved. For the penetrator, at least for me, if I’m not high enough on the scale, say 5 or 6, I’ll lose my erection. If I go too high too fast I’ll blow my load too soon.

    It seems REALLY hard to hold these vulnerabilities in consciousness. I think edging while fucking addresses all these issues in a very collaborative and fun way.

    The first time I described it to a couple and asked the woman if she was ok if he tried it, she responded with a sly joy and said, Sounds fun to me. <3

    Happy fucking!

    Upvoting because I don’t want to upvote because I think being upvoted too much might give you Michael Jackson syndrome but I trust you to overcome it and surround yourself with people that trust you and will still tell you they think you’re wrong…like me!...

    More People Should Die. Elderly people should be able to legally choose to end their life when they’re ready. In fact, any adult should be legally allowed to choose to die. They should be able to invite people, be present for their memorial service, and have a medical professional end their life.

    And we should be more present with death in society. People should be able to attend their loved ones’ cremations. Embalming should be illegal.

    Upvoting for making me laugh! Ok but…is this real…I can’t fucking tell.

    The way I read it I saw that you knew edging experientially but "it doesn’t matter" had me thinking you didn’t need to bring it into connection because you had it down. Reassigning downvotes to upvotes....

    Telling people that I upvoted/downvoted their comment when I do and telling them why. (Triggered)(Feel super activated about the hiddenness and anonymity of the downvoting)

    I want to see what happens when it’s ok to be explicit about affecting someone’s status.

    (Fear that I’ll be avoided and ultimately alone. Anger at everything.)

    (Longing to be the next me that’s social-cue numb to my own abrasiveness).

    Not sure if this is triggered or not but I want the consequences of being known.

    jordanSA•...
    also, the hiddenness isn’t necessarily supposed to be a feature—the longterm hope is that we have a variety of "trust scores" people can see, as well as being able to see reactions that dont necessarily affect trust (the same way everyon’s face emotionally reacts in person to...

    COVID Vaccines: is the cure is worse than the disease (these days)? I don’t get COVID vaccines anymore. I did the first round while we were still in lockdown.

    I stand by the choice to get vaccinated then. We didn’t know what was happening, lots of people were dying, good statistics were hard to come by (good interpretations even harder), and the virus hadn’t mutated yet.

    It wasn’t great for me: two shots separated by a month; 5.5 days after the first I got shingles (apparently thousands of other people also got at that exact time) and then after the 2nd I was sicker than I’ve almost ever been. It lasted about 2.5 days and then was VOOM instantly cleared up. It was weird and felt unnatural. But perhaps when I later got COVID, it would have been WAY worse, without having gotten the vaccine.

    Now, I don’t believe it’s worth it. The experience of having COVID is way less. It’s less deadly. There’s not a chance of herd immunity. And I’ve got friends who have awful long COVID from the vaccine. I haven’t done all the research, and anyone who’s tried to tell me about the research has seemed stilted to one side or another that had me take their interpretations with a huge grain of salt.

    I’m delighted and surprised by how similar the people who have commented feel—any dissenting opinions here in this crew?
