@meepmeep1024901 @jordanbpeterson He means your system of beliefs that lies unconscious to you, which shouldn't. Meaning statements that believe to be true such as: I am a good cook. I deserve happiness. I am a good person. I have always had a hard time with beliefs. I am a punctual person. And the list goes on.
This is one of the most haunting sculptures ever produced.
It depicts Saint Bartholomew, one of Christ's twelve apostles, who brought Christianity to India and Armenia in the 1st century.
Like many Christian martyrs, he suffered an excruciating demise; a common account tells that he was skinned alive and then beheaded, in punishment for converting the king of Armenia to the faith.
This terrifying piece is by Renaissance artist Marco d’Agrate. It's a rare example of an écorché (a figure showing the muscles of the body without skin) in sculpture, produced in exquisite detail from a block of marble in 1562.
The "cloak" you see draped over the apostle's shoulder is not clothing but his own skin. Bartholomew wears it proudly, clutching the knife that flayed him. Despite his torment he stands defiant and stern in expression, quite literally wearing his own suffering. According to legend, Bartholomew continued preaching to a rapt audience after his executors had flayed him.
The contrapposto stance and determined glare make an interesting parallel to Michelangelo's "David". But d’Agrate went one further - the subject here is (literally) stripped bare with remarkable anatomical precision, the result of d’Agrate's careful study of the human body. Every vein, muscle and tendon is represented in minute detail.
The unique sculpture has lived at Milan Cathedral for nearly five centuries, reminding visitors of the power of enduring faith in the face of religious persecution.

URGENT: Go to your medicine cabinet right now and look at the type of B12 you are taking. If it says “cyanocobalamin,” any where on the label, then throw it in the trash immediately.
Although it the most common form of B12 in the world, cyanocobalamin is a synthetic, man-made form of B12, which includes “hydrogen cyanide.”
Look for vitamin B12 supplements in the form of adenosylcobalamin, methylcobalamin, & hydroxycobalamin.

Until the 1970, the majority of the people were fit as a fiddle! No keto, vegan, or paleo diets. No home aerobics or gym memberships. No fancy fitness tech or wellness influencers. They also weren't drinking protein shakes or counting calories.

For the first time since Oct7, there is peace in Israel/Gaza. And there have been jubilant scenes on both sides as hostages and prisoners get their freedom back.
Peace and freedom should be fundamental human rights - not something won through horrific violence.
@elonmusk I came back to X, just because it was bought by someone who truly cares about freedom of speech. And I deleted my Instagram and Facebook app. Sorry, not sorry.
If you want to know something about yourself, sit on your bed one night and say, “What’s one thing I’m doing wrong, that I know I’m doing wrong, that I could fix, that I would fix?”
