In my opinion, hair is a nuisance.

And I find it somewhat bizarre that people will invest time effort and money titivating their head hair and then even more time effort and money removing hair from everywhere else.

So just in the interests of research, how hirsute or not are your lower nooks and crannies...And do you apply eggs and honey to these regions too.


I see hair as a visible display of my health. Balding is actually unnatural. It is just that society has accepted it as normal. Animals never lose hair unless they are malnourished, in an unnatural environment, or become sick. How come so many humans lose their hair? Especially for me, being in the prime of my life, my hair was thinning which was very surprising to me.


I don't actually pay that much money for hair care. In fact, I pay less for hair care than I did when I was using shampoo, conditioner, and hair styling products. You were speaking of hair transplants (I think). I would never get a hair transplant because that seems like a defeatist action instead of proactively nurturing your scalp back to good health. With a transplant you are masking the problem that you never fixed, and people who get hair transplants subject themselves to taking either minoxidil or finasteride pills--I forget which--every day to maintain the transplanted hair bundles. The pills have side effects that can create chemical imbalances and lower testosterone which are big no-nos for me.


It is funny that you bring up how hair could be flourishing on other parts of the body, and I hear people who are balding joke about this. It's obviously because they are applying things to their scalp that the rest of their body is not subject to, like harsh chemicals in shampoo that upset natural oil balance. Indigenous tribes don't use these commercial shampoos, and they have an abundance of hair even as senior citizens! Shampoo takes off oil which dries scalp so it overproduces oil requiring you to use shampoo again, and there you have the cycle.


For hair care, I rely on sunlight, eggwashing with adding honey once a week for a deeper nutrient boost, scalp massaging a few minutes day, helping blood flow to the scalp by working out and the massages, microneedling which is pretty easy to DIY, and I'm currently figuring out which natural oils to add. I add rosemary oil after I microneedle to moisturize the pricks the needles caused. Also proper nutrition from food is paramount

How does hair care improve your faith? Faith cannot be transplanted.

God wants me to be my best. I don’t think aggressive thinning at 20 is my peak. I’m using the tools of the natural world to heal. Dirty blond locks are imminent, trust me.


It’s annoying rn that hair grows so slow. I can see all along my hairline the new baby hairs that are coming back, but it’s gonna take some months for them to mature so my hairline kind of looks the same rn. Once the hairs are terminal, then I can further revitalize my hairline. I will have luscious locks!!

Hmmmmm.


Balding is undeniably natural Skip.


Which seems to causing you some angst, despite what you say to the contrary.


And GOD is a creation and existence hypothesis by the way, and therefore is not concerned with the appearance of coincidental organisms.

I bet that cat in your pfp will keep a body full of hair until the day it passes away. Balding occurs in unnatural circumstances like the western society where we are spoonfed all sorts of "healthy" crap that is negating our health. Meanwhile native Africans have perfect white teeth and head full of hair just living off the land.


Which seems to causing you some angst, despite what you say to the contrary.


Well, after changing my hair care system I have noticed healthier hair and vellus hairs popping up, so I must be doing something right in the opposite direction of balding.

what is your God hypothesis?

@Skipper

Hmmmm.


I see Middle eastern based GOD hypotheses as analogical...Wherein an imaginary superhuman is a reasonably naive explanation for the unknown.


Material creation and progression is seemingly purposeful and I refer to this as the GOD principle.


But superman doesn't work on so many levels.


Recurring Universes may or may not depend upon intellectual intervention, though it's becoming quite obvious that humans are probably not the be all and end all of material and intellectual development and are therefore only a phase thereof.


Will an alternative intelligence require a super-duper-computer GOD and sing hymns and pray in reverence.

You're saying one would be naive to use God as the "fill in the blank" answer for what is unknown.

I think God is a reasonable explanation for the important inquiries we have about life and existential uncertainties.

But, unpack what is God through what we are revealed in life. In linguistic terms, asking "why is the grass green" and someone answering with "God" is not indicative of a pursuing mind--a mind that wants to find the answers through science. It'd be blunt and not substantial. Use critical thinking for questions.


One could still answer with "God" for the color of grass, but there are natural laws to discover and theories to make about the world bc they categorize reality into something we can understand and use to model the universe.


Add reasonable explanation for why grass is green bc of God. It can still be logical in the right context

Yep, but a super-human who has lived forever somewhere in the void of nothingness, is as illogical as any other hypothesis.


And we and the stuff of the Universe are, and for what reason ultimately depends upon the magical appearance of something from nothing.


Same applies to Superman.


So GOD is a principle.



ISI though is a different issue. Whereby the seeds of life were planted on a suitable planet or suitable planets by an evolved Intergalactic Super-Intelligence...Which may or may not have once been humanesque in organic form, but was most probably a programmed intergalactic seeding device/machine that visited Earth...Though it's unlikely that rudimentary lifeforms were left with a book of divine instruction.

You're right--that doesn't make sense. And yet it can still be true. What separates the hypotheses from others is its source of credibility and knowledge. We have a whole "book of books" dedicated to this stance on the universe. Why would the Bible not make sense as a revelation of truth?

What is the support for this? What makes this more likely than Jesus Christ being the King?

@Skipper

It makes perfect sense the concept of a creator, the universe heaven and hell all inspired into a book called the Bible.

The concept of a spiritual salvation is the icing on the cake. Keep your faith in Jesus.

@Debby, @Skipper

Both creation and existence hypotheses are human based assumptions based upon humanness.


In terms of real knowledge, neither hypothesis is founded upon knowledge.


Both are derived from human based fantasy...The ability of the human mind to turn known facts into fictional hypotheses.


So I ask myself which is the more likely, a magic man that has lived forever in a void of nothingness, or an evolved universal super intelligence.

And so in terms of logic I plump for the latter...Though this is not a belief, but simply the more logical of two fantasy scenarios...There are probably others, like we just evolved from the matter of the Universe without the assistance of intelligent intervention.


And I'm sure that all hypotheses come with associated texts, it's sort of, all a part of the human process.


And Debs, there is no "perfect sense", such is just conditioned arrogance...Nonetheless, creator concepts are perfectly reasonable.


Programme kids accordingly and perfect nonsense will make perfect sense...Such is the human condition.


What is certain, is that no one currently knows the answer to the big question...But hey, put your faith in the assumed ramblings of a Middle Eastern Bloke if that is a comfort to you...Such it seems is some peoples iced cake.


Notwithstanding that spirituality also comes in many hypothetical guises.

Nah, Old Blaise was just another 17th century theo-philosophical best guess merchant, with a best guess based upon magicman conditioning...A bit like 21st century you Debs.


If there were a GOD, I wager that it would be omni-sensible rather than a petty minded oddball.


So I live my life as I do, ogling nubile women in the High Street, but hurting no one...And I will go to heaven if such a place actually exists.

Bu5 ther3 are conditions you have to meet before you are allowed into heaven set down by Jesus.

matthew 7:21 indicates that one must do the Father’s will.

Nah, as I already pointed out, GOD would be sensible...Whereas you prefer the ramblings of a post GOD half Jew and his various boyfriends.


Heaven either is or isn't and there would be no conditions to be met.


The void of nothingness is infinite, so more than enough room for an finite number of souls.

Since you don’t believe in religion, you don’t believe in a heaven either. You4 life is meaningless beyond your current existence.

Edit post

@Debby

As is your life actually meaningless beyond your current existence.


Your ideas are not based upon "truth" but based upon a conditioned assumption.


And religion is, and neither requires belief nor disbelief.


What you meant to say was that I do not conventionally adhere to a religion in the Abrahamic ideological sense of the word.


And just like you I can hypothesise about post death potential.

@SergeantLynch

Christianity is the only religion that offers salvation on just faith. It is the easiest of religions to follow to get to heaven. And yet you are struggling with it. Jesus sacrificed his life so you could be saved. Accept his offer!

That is hoax Christianity aka Protestantism.


They hoaxed what works with faith meant and mutated it into sola fide.

The US is a definitively secular nation, founded on complete separation of the State and religion. The Left Wing of US realise this but don't realise that pure freedom requires as low tax and free access to guns as possible. The Right Wing of US don't realise that secular pure freedom means the LGBTQ+ and abortion agendas both end up in line with US's liberty-first ethos.

It is left-wing to be pro-life. You are backing poor babies being born at the inconvenience of the already-born. Go figure.

There's a good chance that you are the only person to actually use the word "hirsute" in the last decade.

A Christian faith that is threatened by other denominal understandings is a very weak faith.

The Christian faith makes Christianity stronger because it offers a pathway to heaven.

Yep, I'm sure that Christianity offers all sorts of baloney.


Which is great, but can you prove that the baloney is representative of anything remotely achievable...No.


Faith in assumptive baloney maybe a fun club to be in, but won't prevent your eventual death and deconstruction.


So, your deconstructed parts may have future potential...Such would be salvation of a sort I suppose.

If salvation is Christian baloney. Any wonder why it has been so successful. Over 2 billion Christian’s believers globally.

Edit post

@Debby

Firstly there isn't any proof of salvation.


And the majority of "believers" are programmed to believe, and perhaps a few others jump on the band wagon because they are emotionally inclined to.


Though how many of that 2 billion are actual believers...Like I've said before, I am probably one of those 2 billion...I was most likely added to the list when I was 3 months old and had no say in the matter.

In the main, when we die we are either burned or buried and left to decay.
