#caffeine causes liver to release glucose

12.19: web.cook/caffeine/causes liver to release glucose:
. caffeine makes your liver release sugar;
also, you can feel the brain sugar increasing
and it may come from raising cortisol
which causes insulin resistance in muscles
so they are less able to use blood sugar
thus leaving more for the brain .
. people running low on carbs still need brain glucose,
and they get it from the liver
which converts fat into sugar .
. something about caffeine is moving hormones
which in turn pulls more sugar from liver .
web:
"the caffeine-induced increase in sympathetic activity
may stimulate endogenous glucose production" [PMC1464218];
"Caffeine ingestion has been demonstrated to
increase circulating epinephrine and norepinephrine" [8964766];
"epinephrine is a potent stimulator of gluconeogenesis
in humans" [PMC1464218].
. therefore, caffeine very likely does promote
gluconeogenesis (liver's release of glucose) in humans .

steady state economics #ark-investing

12.15: news.pol/ark-investing/steady state economics:
12.16: summary:
. the political problem we are up against
is that enforcement of a much needed
steady state economy
is tantamount to mandatory population control .
. it's not just for environmentalism either;
we need to stop investing in
expanding the human population
in order to start investing in new cities
that can protect us from either global warming
or the next ice age .

happy #Hanukkah #dream

12.16: co.self/dream/relig/pro-life/happy #Hanukkah #dream:
[ this dream happened on the first day of Hanukkah
(but 16 hours before the start of it)]
. I was telling some teens that abortion is seen as murder,
and I feared that one murder can lead to
a chain reaction of more murders even within a family .
. one teen thought my motivation was purely religious:
she whispered in my ear "happy Hanukkah"
so I tried to present me as non-religious by saying:
oh, I'm not Jewish, but family is .
. in the next scene, as I walked alone,
I thought about the abortion debate more:

no Hebrews from Egypt entered the Promised Land

4.9: 12.14: relig/bible/no Hebrews from Egypt entered the Promised Land:
summary:
. Moses would lead the people out of Egypt
but he would not be the one to
lead them into the Promised land .
. in fact, none of the Egyptian escapees
would enter the Promised land:
they raised a new generation in the desert
and only that generation would be
attempting to conquer the Promised land:

#bible #Exodus icon of expand&purge cycles

4.9: relig/bible/Exodus/icon of expand&purge cycles:
12.14: summary:
. Exodus is seen as a story of escaping slavery
but it is an icon of expand&purges cycles
that have occurred throughout history
at least until WWIII brings in a global union .

#zionism in the age of #liberal capitalism

4.8: pol/zionism/in the age of liberal capitalism:
. why would the zionists in this day and age
decide that they had to have
that particular piece of land?
. hopefully, the god had created the
age of liberal capitalism
just so those interested in living within
a community dedicated to Judaism,
could use their economic strength
to buy whole neighborhoods for their own kind,
where they can build a temple
and call that place another new Israel;
instead,
they pick an endless fight with the Muslims:
and give us no way out of world war III .
. one flaw in that theory of mine
is that every place that allows Jewish domination
requires separation of church and state;
so you could never have a New Israel
exactly because the liberal's idea of justice
has been meant to keep every city from becoming a
ChristainTown that oppresses women, gays, and Jews .
