Chocolate is made from the plant Theobroma cacao's beans. The genus Theobroma of the indigenous jungle tree was so named by Swedish scientist Carl Linnaeus in 1753 for 'divine food' in contrast to gold which was valued mainly for aesthetics by the Aztec civilization; and Montezuma's coffers were found to be overflowing with cacao beans following the conquest of the Aztec Zapotec empire.

Eventually, the Dutch chemist Van Houten invented a hydraulic press following its discovery by Europeans to remove the fat from cacao beans; and the resulting product came to be known as cocoa powder. Van Houten also found that processing this powder with alkaline salts increased its miscibility, making it more effectively mix with water but also reducing its health benefits and flavor. When Swiss chemist Henri Nestle discovered a process for evaporating milk, cocoa was cooked into bar chocolate diluted with milk.¹

Cacao is commonly grown in fields neighboring roadsides in Nigeria where they still use leaded gasoline and happens to be an excellent sequesterer of lead, and significant concentrations of lead can be found in cacao produced in Nigeria. Fortunately, there are a lot of cocoa products with cocoa not grown in Nigeria. You should always be sure, and organic brands usually specify the country of origin. Organic chocolate has often 5x the psychoactive chemicals of inorganic chocolate, but you can find suitable brands of baking chocolate online.

Cacao contains little caffeine but much theobromine, a vasodilator and cerebral circulatory stimulant. Cacao is also high in focus and mood-boosting compounds including phenylethylamine which is also concentrated in blue-green algae². Cacao is similarly an exogenous source of the endogenous immunomodulatory cannabinoid anandamide but in much lower concentrations than endogenous synthesis; however, cacao is much more potent than the body's natural synthesis of anandamide because it has chemicals in it that make it stick around longer.³ While there is little research on the effects of these individual chemicals, studies show that eating chocolate increases performance on standardized cognitive tests.⁴

For a source besides concentrated protein, cacao is very high in tryptophan, the amino acid our bodies make serotonin from. It is a great source of minerals including calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, chromium⁵, and iron⁶. Raw cacao powder is an excellent source of vitamin C and, according to the Brunswick Laboratories, has the highest ORAC score for measuring anti-oxidants of any food⁷. The fats in cacao beans are mostly saturated fats.<sup>8

Hyper-Sence

The economy is in a state that may not be able to support increasing urbanization. Already, construction projects in China have been abandoned because there's no way to pay for them. We need more economists interested in this topic, but there are some foolproof ways to grow the money held by firms and available for enterprises.

You pay software developers to produce commonly purchased software, and the developer class becomes able to afford more things from industry. The supply side is thus satisfied by the necessary purchases.

The corporations become increasingly involved in other sectors and able to pay for the most commonly purchased goods. They pay most employees enough for their basic necessities. The least privileged employees become able to support the growth of necessary sectors.

Developers, however, continue to make it possible for corporations to capture more of the excess funds.

If you play Imperator: Rome by Paradox studios, you immediately notice a massive map detailing every province and tribe in ancient Europe and Northern Africa. A mind boggling amount of research went into this game. Paradox has other strategy games with a similar amount of creativity. Obviously, the content in these games is unlike any previously released PC game.

Final Fantasy XIV similarly has an expansive array of discoverable features, but it includes microtransactions that are rewarding enough to be continually spending on content. They're mostly player boosts and what the developer calls 'optional content'.

If you look at Final Fantasy XV: A New Empire, it's clear that adding optional content that is rewarding enough for microtransactions is easy. Every microtransaction unlocks a new chapter of gameplay, and you can keep enhancing optional content with other microtransactions.

World of Warcraft takes this model a step further by including all previous expansion packs with a subscription up to the last released expansion. They make a lot of money from selling the newest expansion pack after capturing players.

In fact, Blizzard makes so much money from base games that they can afford to make their server available for all customers who have purchased a game. They continually add franchise themed content in microtransactions.

Blizzard sells some optional content for charity, and it's clear the franchises with the most fans get the most attention. I've bought a lot of optional content for the Blizzard game StarCraft 2. Apparently, it's not hard to come up with a spacefaring race that originated in the Beta quadrant. The last expansion for the game is even about an intelligent race that existed before life as researchers know it.

This business model holds a lot of promise for industry that makes infrastructure available on the cheap and supports construction.

The Global Village

The Information Age has made it possible for anyone to watch the cloned image stream and share ideas in waves. People are aware of a myriad of knowledge and ideas from being more connected than in any human age before. There are now many digital tools for self-expression using the Internet. The ability of people to digest knowledge and react has engendered an expressive multitude that naturalistically thinks. These pundits of the global networked system of intelligence are the workers of an ever reinventing global village.

The Blue Hydra is a guide of intellectual currents across varying cultures and ideologies. It is connected to the zeitgeist and global reactions of the bourgeois mind. It is agency in the hearts of the people; it is the pluralistic Pragmatism and our revolution.

Its focus is on a shared vision. It acts and reacts by the powerhouses of the mind and the unfinished future of an immanent positivism.

The phenomenology of the truth-value in context is a logical restatement of the matter at hand. It's a moral reinvention of facts.

Knowledge sprouts from a new context in truth-values. The Blue Hydra represents knowledge formed from phenomenology as an inference in context.

Neptune's Trident

Classes in society normatively believe the verified truth of truth-values, and the conditions of truth entails normativity. Bourgeois creeds and races dialogically construct goodnesss, and the inferred virtue is worthy of trust as an analytic model of social sciences.

Because verified truth is analytically inferred, it becomes necessary for testimonies that are worthy of trust to be credited for circumstances. They context they provide is constructive with ethological causality.

Hate speech is then a trammel to social responsibility and moral interpretations.

As intellectual currents become heterogenous, it becomes necessary to enact a legal ban on disparaging and biased attitudes known as hate speech. These epistemic injustices stemming from hatred and apathy are a danger to society; they are a social disease affecting the ethical community. The social model is debased by insults to rationality that can bias the ethical member of society.

In a society with modern power, there has to be a political guide for capillary power, and hate speech is defamatory to modern civic power. Modern political democracy is legally founded by the civic virtue of the Constitution. The instruments of the American practice of democracy are interpretations worthy of trust. Normative ethics is civically social as the natural order of things. The fuzzy logic in luck by the letter of the law is to mollify social ills.

Audit the Subperimeter

If all you know is the dogmas of thinking or what is intended by the letter of your culture like animals on a watering hole, you have no way of studying the subsystems for ecology. You are not intelligent about causality or mathematical style. Your intellect doesn't demonstrate intelligence about higher-order truth-values. The masses do not act intelligently regarding posited novelty or philosophic-religious truths. The middle class has no knowledge of the inferences used by thinkers or cultural scholars.

The subjects of pundits are illustrated by their immanent nobility in comparison to common folk who cannot demonstrate their competence in situations constructed by systematic knowledge. As people who do not know how to handle power wisely, the middle class looks like intelligent life with the light of free will without the darkness of philosophers' night. This illusion of wisdom is why we keep our military cut off from civil situations such as the leisure class and like watching cops be inept in public in the margins. It is why films of the kind common in America are about Spartans and gladiators who fight to the death for the culture and liberty of the province they are from. In Ronin 47 samurai abdicate their role in a province of Japan to carry out a suicide mission for their dai.

The university that was the exception to being chosen for their engineering department in my 1st 4 that I was informally invited to is needs blind and does not accept scholarships. After learning the capital and export economy of every country and scoring 100s on the quizzes about the entire experience of anything that my history teacher knew enough to bring up, I was invited to Vassar College by the assistant to the President of the college. They are a vast liberal arts campus that turned down an invitation to the Ivy League; and my father who has 2 PhDs moved to Poughkeepsie, NY to teach there. Their culture is intellectually bohemian and wise.

The original middle class is the poorest people in ancient Greece. They were the inhabitants who had to fight wars at the front lines in phalanxes with spears. When Greek civilization adopted the shield the fighters became an important force on the battlefield. They were organized into the phalanx and with interlocking shields pushed the enemy phalanxes into slipping out of place. With this new tactic on the battlefield the Greek soldiers could finally gain some political power, they could effectively take a stance in the ancient Greek practice of democracy.

The Greek civilization was not the modern world as it's founded today. Although Greece was good for gays, women did not have an equal status in society; and the dogmas regarding social value persisted. Equality was a topic for philosophers, and social adaptation was mostly used prop up the old order. Royalty would pettily deny the experimentation by Greek democracy to not be wise alone.

The middle class has never had an interest in moral resolutions or the social truth involved in the workings of mechanisms of power. They are a class that reacts mechanically with individual dogma. Their pursuit of control comes at the price of objectivity. They acquire power by undermining the founded culture. They don't deserve to manipulate a state.

In Silico

Sugar is energy for the brain, and you can temporarily damage your health (in this case, for days) by eating it in an extreme of excess. However, you should include sugar in your diet.

Sugar leeches minerals, but you can easily replace them with fresh produce or wheatgrass powder. I would include large servings of fruit with sugar for children very young.

You should give children 1 or 2 scoops of ice cream every night after infancy. I would add an additional slice of pie on some nights.

Make sure you bring healthy snacks when you go out.

As Though You Want It Too

I see increasing results while training, but I've never played any sports other than martial arts. I took karate in grade school and aikido, tae kwon do and kung fu in high school. I regret not competing in track.

I'm a talented sprinter. It's genetic, and I can run on the treadmill with the speed maxed out for as long as I like. I didn't start out with the ability to run for any significant amount of time, but I could after a little training.

I didn't take Athletic Greens or whey protein to train for sprinting. I believe Athletic Greens and a protein shake with antioxidants and sugar enhance training, but I just let myself see what I could do. I could sprint impressively after some regular training.

People were into lifting weights in high school. I went to a $60,000 boarding school, and people knew how to training for gains in muscle; they would use barbells and dumbbells on campus. I'd use them too. The dumbbells in incrementally decreasing reps were the best for me to get sore and feel like I'd accomplished something.

Martial arts were another story. I never got past yellow belt.

I took karate in an afterschool program and then kung fu in my freshman year of high school. I found kung fu very stimulating because I would think about how to win with defense and strikes; after I moved to Poughkeepsie, NY I started taking aikido through Vassar College. My father moved to Poughkeepsie to teach at Vassar, and he was invited to study in their aikido club.

When I moved into my boarding school in East Texas, I started taking kung fu from a veteran that taught at the school. This didn't go too badly except that the instructor intended for it to be military; drills were done arbitrarily. I was committed to the class, but that didn't keep me from getting straight A+s in all the classes I could fit in my schedule.

I moved back to Poughkeepsie to take bridge classes for AP in my senior year. I had something that doctors, under an umbrella diagnosis, called schizophrenia from extreme dieting. I was having a flare up and accidentally broke the instructor's wrist. He had to dismiss me because I could screw up at another exercise and injure another student; he did make sure my father was formally respected as a gentleman.

Warm ups to prevent injuries like this are very important in aikido. Some supplements improve flexibility by enhancing connective tissue. I'll tell you which ones.

The sulfur in MSM prevents strains and pulls. Also, the glucosamine and chondroitin in bone broth are thought to enhance connective tissue; you can get a supplement with all 3 by Doctor's Best.

To Watch over Me

You take iodine with fish oil to chelate mercury in blood. You can also chew your seaweed salad thoroughly to protect against mercury in sushi, but you don't need to chew it thoroughly if you're going to eat the fish after getting it in your stomach.

I would take carnosine with luteolin to reduce inflammation. Both these antioxidants are thought to prevent oxidative stress, diabetes and aging; and they're sold together in a single supplement by Life Extension.

Berberine and curcumin are also anti-inflammatory drugs demonstrated to prevent aging. Berberine controls blood sugar and cholesterol. Sunflower lecithin is also known to control cholesterol.

There's also a product called Mitochondrial Basics which I'm big on. You can find out more about it from the pentamagical elixir page on the sidebar of my blog.

Your Last Hour

Most people are oblivious to toxins in health foods; but of course there are chemicals that can influence your health in natural, organic food. Once you know what they are, it's pretty easy to cut them out of your diet.

Firstly, tofu, quinoa and flax all have naturally occurring endocrine disrupters. I don't eat any of them.

Secondly, don't eat raw cashews; they're one of the foods that have to be roasted to degrade toxins.

Thirdly, you can eat too much seafood. I recommend the fish oils Minami by Garden of Life, Ultra Pure Omega3 by Nature's Way and Quell by Douglas Laboratories for purity in that order. Fish oil can't be kept around too long without going rancid, so keep it in the freezer.

Fourthly, I don't eat any kind of algae. Some algae used as food are thought to block the absorption of B vitamins.

Finally, you can take hemp oil with 3 servings of fish oil if you want the fatty acids in flax.

Raise the Anchor

There are a number of chemicals in biologically potent concentrations in foods that are toxic. I'm going to tell you how to avoid them.

First of all, the country most chocolate is sourced from (Nigeria) is lead laden. There's a significant concentration of the lead from leaded gasoline. The best way to avoid it is to look for chocolate with the origin listed on the packaging.

Secondly, a lot of Americans are getting MSG from Doritos. It's becoming more and more common to put the excitotoxic food additive MSG in snack food. Even if you don't have allergies to MSG, you should avoid it.

Thirdly, aspartame or Aminosweet is an excitotoxic food additive that can have serious impacts on your health. It's widely considered unhealthy and is implicated in Gulf War syndrome.

Fourthly, pesticide residue on inorganic produce burdens the immune system and causes cancer.

Finally, genetically modified foods have been scientifically found to have serious and long lasting detriments to health; and the technofood impacts your health similarly to dairy treated with bovine growth hormone (rBST).

These are the most common toxins in food. If you're worried about your brain, take Ginkgold; and if you're worried about cancer, buy a juicer. You can make effective changes.

The Tempest

The concentration of calories in blood is thought to enhance the rewiring by the brain. The brain rewires to become more efficient throughout your life, and this is true as you lose neurons by aging in the phenomenon neurologists call 'elegant degradation'.

Wheat is a good supplemental source of calories for the diet. Children need snacks to get the most out of environmental enrichment. When you play a song, the experience causes deep and lasting impressions on many areas of the brain; like calories, it increases the efficiency between interacting neurons.

I grew up on pistachios and wheat crackers for snacks and a lot of berries in a smoothie regularly throughout the week. Wheat provides nutrients for the brain, and nuts are thought to have the ideal amount of sugar for a snack. Nuts are also a source of monounsaturated fatty acids that enhance learning when included in the Standard American Diet; at least buy natural peanut butter for sandwiches.
