Introduction
We, homo sapiens, have become a species of fatheads. By name we’re wise but since the birth of humanity, the increasing diet of unnatural knowledge, artificial intelligence, make-believe, disinformation and misinformation by other names successive generations fed their minds at an accelerating rate, has created our current collection of existential risks. A decade ago climate change was the only publicized risk. In 03/21 Council for The Human Future defined 10 interrelated existential risks. As hard as they tried “delivering the…future” to us, it seems short for ‘Homo Insaneus’. I.1
One speaker noted in 2021 starvation will be an existential risk for about 1 billion people. He warned we’ll increase that number each year if we continue to change our climate, and worsen other risks. Then he offered 3 possible preclusions of starvation related to food production. I maintain feeding our minds a diet of unnatural knowledge and our bodies a diet that’s more than we need are existential risks for all humanity. “Nature’s Nutritional Ideal” explains how we have become fatheads and fat-asses, and the way we can eliminate the risks, if we hurry. I.2
“Nature’s Nutritional Ideal” has five parts. In “Nature’s diet” I present diet facts discovered by another, I acquired in 1998. It’s nonfiction. “Nature’s life” is my final explanation of life facts, conflict for one, I started gathering circa 1958 and began to explain in 1970. It’s creative nonfiction. “Their integration” details how I related them. “Existential risks & nature’s nutritional ideal” defines their relationship. It’s creative nonfiction. “Appendix” has examples of the ideal diet I separated from it since they have math. It also has an open list of relevant comments. I.3
Part 1: Nature’s diet (the natural or ideal diet)
The ideal diet is Part 1 of “Nature’s Nutritional Ideal” because of changes I made to my diet in 1997 and 1998. In 1997 I changed to a vegetable based diet for the health of me and our environment. At first I followed a diet proposing I could combine beans with grains to obtain the protein I need. But I gained weight and my doctor noted my bad cholesterol and blood pressure had risen to unhealthy levels. Though I wasn’t yet diabetic, when I heard of a diet that allowed type 2 diabetics to get off insulin I thought what’s good for them could be good for me. 1.1
The regimen was in “Mastering the Zone” a book by Dr. Barry Sears, Ph.D., “a pioneer in biotech drug delivery systems for cancer and heart patients. A former staffer at MIT, he holds 12 patents for cancer treatments and dietary control of hormone responses.” He claimed I’d “achieve super health and permanent fat loss”. I liked the sounds of science. I began to follow his regimen on 08/23/98. I weighed 165. On 11/20/98 I weighed 145. My doctor said “keep doing what you’re doing.” I have. On 07/01/23 I weighed 145. My BP is 118/70 without meds. 1.2
The media dubbed Dr. Sear’s regimen “The Zone Diet” which I thought was unfortunate for “zone” sounds gimmicky, psychological, even mystical and it’s none of these. The zone that gives the diet its name is merely the small, acceptable deviation from the ideal amount of insulin in our blood at the center of the continuum between respective sides of successfully less than and more than the ideal. Dr. Sears noted the “Zone Diet” he identified powered the natural activity that created humanity for most of 3 million years so I called it simply Nature’s ideal diet. 1.3
Dr. Sears said the ideal physiological response to the ideal diet is “super health” a phrase I also felt was too exaggerated. Besides, it made a bumpy transition between the results of more and less than the ideal level of insulin. To smooth the transition I expanded the definition of “ease” to include “freedom from disease”. I then made “ease” the ideal physiological response to Nature’s ideal diet. So in my view “ease” is at the center of the continuum between the presumed increasing disease to either side due to successively more and less than ideal levels of insulin. 1.4
This horizontal continuum of disease is combined with the continuum of diet which contains the continuum of insulin. At the center of this compound continuum are “ease”, “ideal diet” with its ideal level of insulin, and “life”. On the left side are increasing disease and increasingly unnatural diets that are successively less than the ideal diet, with diminishing levels of insulin. On the right side are increasing disease and increasingly unnatural diets that are successively more than our natural diet, with increasing levels of insulin. At both ends is “death”. 1.5
Fusing the 2 continua is what I call our immune/maintenance system(I/MS) only to highlight the mostly ignored fact it tries to maintain ease as well as tries to prevent and cure disease. The organ of our I/MS is adipose tissue. It is found beneath the skin, in bone marrow, in muscle and breast tissue but mainly in the abdomen. It consists of mostly fat cells that store energy, some fat stem cells and other specialized cells our I/MS uses in its immune/maintenance responses. Adipose tissue also secretes several hormones, and it sequesters natural and unnatural toxins. 1.6
Our I/MS succeeds if we feed it our individual natural diet. It is the genetically prescribed weight of food with sufficient variety to supply the nutrients our I/MS needs to maintain ease in the unique integrations of our being. To the extent we feed it with successively less or more than our natural diet, both increasingly unnatural diets, we diminish the ability of our I/MS to prevent and cure disease. In addition, to the extent we provide it with more than our natural diet our I/MS causes disease. On both sides, disease increases with increasingly unnatural diets. 1.7
The nutrients in our natural diet are micro or macro. Micronutrients are the well known essential vitamins and minerals, and possibly phytochemicals. Ideal amounts help maintain ease. Amounts successively more and less than ideal cause increasing disease and eventually death. Except for Vitamin D, and B-12 for vegans, ideal amounts of micronutrients are supplied by foods with the ideal amounts of macronutrients. We get V-D from the sun and some natural but mostly fortified plant food. Supplements and also fortified foods are sources of V-B12. 1.8
The macronutrients are carbohydrate, protein and fat. They contain components of our body and are sources of energy. Nature began feeding ideal amounts of them to our predecessors about 3 million years ago. They ate what Nature served until the birth of humanity. Even after, our ancestors didn’t deviate much from nature’s ideal diet until about 10,000 years ago when they started agriculture and began to civilize. Initially slow, the rate of deviation from the ideal diet sped up with the industrial revolution. About 100 years ago the rate became exponential. 1.9
As the rate of divergence from the natural diet increased, the number of diseases and tries to diagnose them increased as well. Surprisingly what didn’t increase is agreement among nutritional scientists on what should be obvious. That is, to create life and maintain ease now, protein, carbohydrate, and fat must be combined in close to the same ratio that created and maintained ease in humanity for most of 3 million years. So, except for Dr. Sears and a small number of us, everyone else combines foods with little regard to their macronutrient make up. 1.10
An analysis of the natural diet found about 40% of the calories were from carbs, 30% from protein and 30% from fat but 40/30/30 is neat and close enough. A gram of carbs and a gram of protein both produce 4 cals. A gram of fat produces 10 cals. So the weights of macronutrients that produces 100 cals. are 40cals/4cals/g = 10 g of carbs, 30cals/4cals/g = 7.5 g of protein and 30cals//10cals/g = 3 gr. of fat. So a 1200 cal diet would have 12x10g carbs =120 g carbs, 12x7.5g protein = 90 g prot, and 12x3g fat= 36 g of fat. As noted I leave more math and example diets in “appendix”. 1.11
The calories in a weight of food depend on the food. For example there are fewer calories from carbs in 10 gr. of broccoli than in 10 gr. of potato. Assuming an ideal body weight and moderate activity, the weight of food in our natural diet depends on our body size. Regardless, for our diet to be natural, for most of us all of the time the ratio of calories from carbs, protein and fat must be 40/30/30. Excluded from most of us occasionally are, ultra-athletes. They’d keep their base 40/30 ratio of calories from carbs and protein but increase calories from fat for their ultra-activity. 1.12
Our natural diet supplies our I/MS with the 40/30/30 ratio of calories from carbs/protein/fat it needs to maintain ease. Maintaining ease is a complicated process involving compounds with names I can’t pronounce or remember, on variously complex maps of biochemical pathways as impossible for to me to follow as the circuits in the device I’m using. Hence, some of what I write may not be biochemically precise. But like I only need to hit the right keys to see a word appear on my screen, I leave most of the names and maps Dr. Sears uses, in his books and Wikipedia. 1.13
One exception is eicosanoid (eye-caw-san-oid) the singular of two groups of hormones that lead maintaining ease. Dr. Sears calls them “good” and “bad” which is misleading for they can be both. The group functions are “anti-inflammatory” and “inflammatory”. So to be precise and concise I called the functions cold and hot respectively. Each eicosanoid is created as needed in all cells, has a unique function, exists only for an instant, acts on their birth cell and adjacent cells. Some can message distant cells. They don’t run it but without them our I/MS wouldn’t run. 1.14
One hot eicosanoid manages blood clotting, good when stopping blood loss but bad when clots cause strokes and heart attacks. Another constricts blood vessels, good if slowing blood loss but bad if the result is high blood pressure. Another promotes pain, good when the source is temporary but bad when chronic. Another stimulates cell division, good if repairing tissue but bad when causing cancer. A last one causes inflammation, good if variously painful for it is healing injured cells; bad if painless for it is causing chronic disease. So they’re good and bad. 1.15
One cold eicosanoid motivates anticoagulants, good if clots are causing heart attacks but bad if preventing loss of blood. Another dilates blood vessels, good for reducing blood pressure but bad if allowing loss of blood. Another reduces pain, good when it’s a sign of healing but bad when it’s signalling chronic disease. Another inhibits cell division, good if it’s cancerous but bad if it’s repairing diseased tissue. A last one reduces inflammation, good when painless and causing chronic disease but bad when painful and aids healing. So they’re good and bad. 1.16
Hot and cold eicosanoids maintain ease when they are balanced. They’re balanced by equal, ideal levels of insulin and (gloocawgen) in the blood, hormones secreted by the pancreas. Their levels remain ideal when there is the ideal amount of glucose in the blood. Glucose, derived mainly from complex sugars in carbohydrates is a source of the chemical fuel ATP (for short), that powers our cells. Fat is a direct source of ATP and protein can be after it is converted into glucose or fat in the liver. But, ATP obtained from glucose is the only source our brains can use. 1.17
When at ease our brain senses the level of glucose drop to some extent below the ideal, we feel disease to that extent. At the first indication of this disease the cold eicosanoids in the brain ‘tell’ the pancreas to secrete glucagon, the catabolic or breakdown hormone. It breakdowns glycogen and fats stored in the liver, muscles and particularly adipose tissue, into glucose which raises it to its ideal level in the blood. Glucagon continues to breakdown these stored forms of glucose until the ideal level can be sustained by the next portion of our daily natural diet. 1.18
When food arrives, the conversion of carbs with a high glycemic index, eg. white bread, into glucose, begins in the mouth. The lower the glycemic index of a food, the further along the digestive tract its conversion takes place, if at all. Converting fat into ATP and protein into amino acids begins in the stomach but converting them into glucose requires a side trip though the liver. As these sources of glucose raise its level in the blood, cold eicosanoids tell the pancreas to slow the flow of glucagon. The breakdown of glycogen stops when the level of glucose is ideal. 1.19
The incoming sources of glucose in our natural diet will raise its level in the blood above the ideal. As they do, the hot eicosanoids tell the pancreas to secrete insulin, the anabolic (buildup) hormone. It pushes all glucose above the ideal level, into liver, muscle and adipose tissue where it converts glucose into glycogen, restoring the amount (gloocawgen) borrowed to raise the level of glucose to the ideal. As the level of glucose drops to the ideal, the messages from the hot eicosanoids end allowing the pancreas to decrease the level of insulin it secretes, to the ideal. 1.20
Besides maintaining the ideal level of glucose in our blood our I/MS tries to maintain ease in a body programmed to decay and susceptible to disease. Cells age and die continuously. When they do an inflammatory process led by ‘hot’ eicosanoids ‘burns’ the dead cells and replaces them with new cells. If cells are injured or threatened by pathogens the same process goes into overdrive using all its noted hot tools. When the inflammatory process is complete, the anti-inflammatory process lead by ‘cold’ eicosanoids turns it off and returns the body to ease. 1.21
As noted, ease and our natural diet are at the center of the continuum with increasing disease and increasingly unnatural diets that are, on the left side increasingly less than, and on the right side increasingly more than, our natural diet. Since pairing increasing disease with less than our natural diet on the left side can be confusing, I imagine ease is warm and increasing disease on the left side is successively colder, and increasing disease on the right side is successively hotter than, ease. At the left and right ends respectively disease ends in cold and hot death. 1.22
The natural diet maintains ease in our adipose tissue allowing our I/MS to operate at maximum efficiency. Unnatural diets less than the natural diet allow a degree of cold disease because their less than ideal amounts of nutrients result in a degree of lipodystrophy, a less than ideal amount of adipose tissue, thus that degree of acquired immunodeficiency. Cold diseases are caused by bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms called pathogens. Since pathogenic diseases take advantage of a deficient I/MS, they are also called opportunistic diseases. 1.23
At the highest degree of immunodeficiency pathogenic diseases kill us. But given they predate us so had millions of years to kill off humanity, it seems pathogens can’t easily defeat an I/MS operating at maximum efficiency. Yet rarely is the natural diet noted as the way to achieve maximum I/MS efficiency. HIV is a pathogenic disease that causes immunodeficiency after first finding opportunity in the acquired immunodeficiency caused by a less than natural diet. Another and its AIDS an I/MS operating at maximum efficiency would likely defeat is Covid-19. 1.24
Pathogenic diseases can also be on the hotter side of the continuum. But the immunodeficiency that lets them diminish ease on the hot side is the result of unnatural diets that are more than the natural diet. Being “more than” means these unnatural diets have more than the ideal weight of nutrients. The excess is most likely in high GI carbohydrates, less likely in fats and least likely in protein. Whatever the combination, the nutrients in diets that are more than the natural diet result in chronic hyperglycaemia, a constantly greater than ideal level of glucose in our blood. 1.25
Chronic hyperglycaemia and the response of our I/MS to it will kill us. How long they take depends on the degree of hyperglycaemia and the capacity of our I/MS to forestall hot death. Alone, the greater the degree of hyperglycaemia the less time the response of our I/MS to it needs to kill us. At a constant degree of hyperglycaemia, how long we survive our I/MS response to it depends on the amount of its adipose tissue our I/MS can grow. The amount can range from none, to the ideal, to unique upper limits we can’t know until we reach them. 1.26
Recall now how given the natural diet our I/MS maintains the ideal level of glucose. Starting at the ideal level, eating raises the level of glucose. To lower it our I/MS turns on its “store glucose as fat” response. When the level drops below the ideal our I/MS turns off the “store...” response and turns on the “breakdown fat into glucose” response, returning its level to the ideal. Thus our I/MS is always on, toggling between its primary responses, “breakdown fat into glucose” and “store glucose as fat”. So, technically our I/MS is an automatic immune/maintenance system. 1.27
In reaction to hyperglycaemia, the “store ...” response led by hot eicosanoids stays on. This hot, auto-inflammatory response keeps telling the pancreas to secrete insulin as long as it can. The insulin keeps converting glucose into a variety of lipids,(fats). Triglycerides, the energy fats, are among them. Of special interest is arachidonic acid(AA), the essential fatty acid our I/MS uses to make hot eicosanoids. Our I/MS tries to store the lipids as long as it can. That’s on average 30 years for anyone who due to rare genetic bad luck has congenital lipodystrophy. 1.28
Unlike acquired lipodystrophy that can be any amounts of adipose tissue less than ideal due to less than the natural diet, congenital lipodystrophy is caused by a gene defect that prevents our I/MS from creating adipose tissue. Without it our I/MS stores the lipids it can in the vital organs and in all other cells, including blood, where they shouldn’t be. One result of this lipotoxicity is “fatty” organs. Even a fat brain can be deadly. Also, (AA) and its hot eicosanoids inflame blood and scar blood vessels, nerve cells and connective tissue causing a range of dysfunction. 1.29
So fortunately, by common good luck most of us have an I/MS that can create adipose tissue. In response to our natural diet our I/MS creates the ideal amount with which it maintains ease. By natural selective planning our I/MS can also increase the size of fat cells and create new ones from fat stem cells. This ability unique to adipose tissue is a failsafe that allowed our forebears to survive lean times. Our I/MS can use this ability to delay the effects of hyperglycaemia by storing above ideal levels of lipids in its expandable fat cells, and volume of adipose tissue. 1.30
The triglycerides are an indicator of metabolic health. So keeping them at ideal levels can define us as metabolically healthy although obese. By Nature’s definition though, our natural weight, the weight our bodies are genetically designed to carry, is an indicator of ease. Thus any weight over our ideal causes at least some skeletal, and CV disease by having to carry, and pump blood through, more than our natural weight. Then there’s adiposopathy, the mother of all auto-inflammatory response diseases. “Sick fat” fails to adequately convey its hot fatal outcomes. 1.31
Adiposopathy is a progressive disease that occurs in greater than ideal amounts adipose tissue. It begins with the first increase in the size of a fat cell and/or the first increase in the volume of adipose tissue by the creation of a new fat cell. Both are I/MS responses to hyperglycaemia. Adiposopathy is painless. Its only visible symptom, increasing girth, is also the indication of its progress. It progresses without hot consequences until our I/MS can neither increase the size of fat cells nor the volume of adipose tissue. At this time the perceived good luck turns bad. 1.32
Limits on our I/MS to increase the size of fat cells and add adipose tissue are genetic. So if two of us with different limits start approaching them at the same time, the one with smaller limits reaches them before the one with larger limits. This is why variously obese individuals can outlive those who are just somewhat overweight. But, no matter when we reach our limits, the results are the same. They begin with the death of one fat cell and end with our death. The only unknowns are which auto-inflammatory response disease kills us and how long will it take. 1.33
The attempt of our I/MS to store one last gram of glucose in a fat cell causes it to erupt and release its stored lipids into the surrounding adipose tissue. Of continued interest is arachidonic acid (AA). Dr. Sears calls it toxic fat and only to emphasize its inflammatory consequences I call it molten toxic fat. Whatever, (AA) and its hot eicosanoids inflame the surrounding fat cells. The death of the fat cell boosts the auto-inflammatory response of our I/MS to hyperglycaemia which further increases the inflammation in the fully extended fat cells and volume of adipose tissue. 1.34
One death leads to others. If we don’t stop the dying by neutralizing hyperglycaemia with the natural diet, the increasing molten toxic fat forms like a dome of lava oozing from a mountain of adipose tissue. The toxic molten fat flows in blood streams to every cell in the body. The inflammation in one cell is painless. A mass of like inflamed cells will cross the threshold of pain into painful. To make a variously long process short, adiposopathy can become lipodystrophy facilitating lipotoxicity if we can survive the diseases caused by the auto-inflammatory response. 1.35
At the end of his first book “Enter the Zone” (1995), Dr. Sears relates the auto-inflammatory response of the I/MS to hyperglycaemia caused by diets that are more than the natural diet to CV disease, type II diabetes, cancer, AIDS, arthritis, MS, lupus, chronic fatigue, alcoholism, depression, SAD, PMS, chronic pain, eczema, psoriasis, and aging. He could have added to this list for “there are at least 80...” auto-inflammatory response diseases. (Wikipedia) One omission was adiposopathy but he dealt with “fat disease” in his book “Toxic Fat” (2008). 1.36
As noted pathogens predate humanity. Our forebears survived pathogenic diseases because they were protected by nature’s ideal diet. Pathogenic and auto-inflammatory response diseases, notably fat disease, began killing our ancestors as their increasingly unnatural lives resulted in increasingly unnatural diets that were either less and more than the ideal. The increasing unnatural diets decreased accordingly nature’s ideal diet and its protection against diseases. As we separated ourselves from Nature’s immunotherapy we devised our own. 1.37
To fight pathogenic and general auto-inflammatory response diseases we created anti-pathogenic and anti inflammatory drugs. Pathogens have become drug resistant. Anti inflammatory drugs inhibit the anti inflammatory response of our I/MS. Our fight against fat disease defines insanity. The collected results have become an existential risk. The money we spend for weapons of war on disease compares to the money we spend for weapons of war on others. We could discard both if we cut the ‘fat’ out of our heads by living nature’s ideal life. 1.38
Part 2: Nature’s life
My unwitting search for Nature’s life began circa 1960. I was about 13. Having attended a Baptist church since before I was born I asked my father something like “Have you ever felt God?” I didn’t know his answer that in essence was, “Not really; belief in God and related ‘knowledge’ is just something we are taught.”, partly explains the unnatural life we live. In the next few years I became aware of another but stricter Baptist church, United, Anglican, Roman Catholic Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, all teaching their different religious ‘knowledge’. 2.1
At university in an elective course on comparative religions I learned of Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus and Buddhists and these were just the headlines. Under these major titles I found versions that numbered from a few to thousands. I read the varied ideas of a few 20th century theologians and skimmed the eleven volumes of Copleston’s “A History of Philosophy”. I didn’t ace any courses but I did learn there is a ‘box’ containing thousands of made up explanations of life we are taught to believe then often make our own, and Nature’s ideal life wasn’t among them. 2.2
With my parents support, I spent about four years after ‘graduation’ looking for life outside the make-believe. I tried to have my explanation of life published. It was rejected. I thought I was a fool. I decided to quit trying. I got a ‘real’ entry level job at GM Oshawa, Can. Within a year I presented a program to the top local management. It was suggested I present my program at GM, HQ, US. I thought maybe I wasn’t a fool but would be if I stayed. I felt the same about a relationship I had entered. So in 1980 I quit both, became a carpenter and a full time life analyst again. 2.3
While in my relationship it occurred to me I was expected to fill a feeling of emptiness in my partner. As I thought about this I recalled stories of loss in which the person telling their story said what they lost, a loved one, a job, their faith or whatever, “left a void in my life.” I’d also heard others say a new love, an activity, the lord or some other thing found, “filled the void in my life.” I concluded if something lost leaves a void and it’s perceived something found fills the void, then in someway life activities must be a reaction to this void. I followed the thought. 2.4
I began by identifying ways we try to fill the void. I saw we try with money and the lifestyle it buys. We try with any number of the variously complex religious and philosophical belief systems in the ‘box’. We try with preeminence, being in some way superior to any number of others. We try with an occupation of any status, any kind of family, the ‘love’ of another and any amount of information. Lastly, we try to fill the void with alcohol, drugs, sex, gaming, food and other anaesthetics. We can try to fill the void in one way or by blending any number of ways. 2.5
Our tries to fill the void are man-made thus optional, unnatural activity. Trying with two or more ways causes conflict between them within us. Since we direct our tries toward the void within us, even if two of us try in the same way our opposed directions cause conflict between us. Our tries are clearly in conflict with Nature. Thus unnatural activity is characterized by conflict. The conflict within us is destroying us. The conflict between us is destroying humanity. Our conflict with Nature is destroying our environment. So, unnatural activity is self-destructive. 2.6
Thus defined, I followed our unnatural activity back through history where I found no matter which of the eight ways we now try to fill the void, they all disappear. For examples, Sikhism, Islam and Christianity disappear about the 15th, 7th and 1st centuries CE respectively. Secular tries disappear along the way. Religious tries are the last to disappear. They become fewer and less complex until there is just one, likely born in a dream. There’s no need to know when they disappeared. We only need to know our tries to fill the void were once made up then believed. 2.7
To state the obvious, throughout the history of humanity, the sum of human activity diminished with the decreasing number of individuals. Nevertheless, the activity of the individuals in the diminishing population did not decrease along with their disappearing tries to fill the void. As unnatural activity disappeared other activity reappeared like green shoots after a wildfire. Since it wasn’t unnatural activity, by exclusion it had to be natural activity. Also being the opposite of unnatural activity, natural activity has to be defined as essential and self-creative. 2.8
I’ll explain shortly why unnatural activity vanished from our history about 200,000 years ago. Meanwhile I followed natural activity back through history for another 3 million years, when it’s been guessed humanity was conceived. At conception our predecessors began “reaching out to the limits of their capacities, to others and to Nature’s God”, the natural activity that created humanity and maintains life. Since our capacities are unique, we reach out to our limits along parallel paths, so to the extent our activity is natural our existence is characterized by peace. 2.9
To facilitate the way back I use two visual aids. First I colour natural activity white and unnatural activity black. As just implied, for the last 200,000 years our activities blended an essential white and a complementary optional black component. Not noted is activities don’t blend like paint but rather mix like black, and white beads. Depending on their ratio our mix is a shade of grey. We can change the ratio of our activities and so their shade. Individual shades colour humanity. Our noted level of self-destruction colours us a few shades of grey above black. 2.10
I need the second aid in order to describe figuratively and define the structure of our nature. To keep it short I hope my “picture is worth a thousand words.” Figuratively our nature is perfectly represented by a tetrahedron, a solid with four triangular faces. But “solid” has an unwanted connotation. I imagine my tetrahedron being made of clear, inflatable, flexible plastic, and resting on one of the faces. Oriented this way it’s also called a triangular pyramid. Interestingly, the tetrahedron is as well the shape of the carbon atom, the basic element of all known life. 2.11
I see our tetrahedron divided without partitions into three components extending out from the axis of the pyramid to one of the three sides. I label the volumes that extend into the center of the pyramid from the sides, body/mind/spirit. These concepts were first used to describe our nature in 1891 by the YMCA. The bases of these volumes that form the base of the pyramid, I label physical/mental/spiritual activity respectively. So the base of the pyramid now represents a blend of these activities that are distinct at the outer edges but less so toward the center. 2.12
In the volume labeled body I see physical knowledge, in the volume labeled mind I see mental knowledge and in the volume labeled spirit I see spiritual experience. There are no partitions separating the volumes since there is no separation between physical and mental knowledge nor between spirit and body/mind. The body volume represents our unique physical capacity, the mind volume represents our unique mental capacity and the spirit volume represents the equivalent spiritual capacity. This tetrahedron is the figurative representation of human nature. 2.13
So, even though we have unique capacities, literally we are identically the integration of body/mind/spirit. Our bodies are identically the integration of unique realized physical capacity, physical knowledge and physical activity. Our minds are identically the integration of unique realized mental capacity, mental activity and mental knowledge. Our spirits are identically and synonymously, the drive to survive, the desire to thrive, the will to be... Figuratively we are all the same shape but due to our unique capacities our same shapes are different sizes. 2.14
At conception, figuratively our predecessors appeared to be flat triangles of white natural activity. As it continued they acquired natural knowledge and intelligence which expanded their capacities equally and generated maximum spirit. By about 200,000 years ago, they had bases of blended natural physical, mental and spiritual activity which filled their capacities to the extent possible with natural physical and mental knowledge, natural intelligence and maximum invisible spirit. Notably they had innate knowledge of the natural diet which created them. 2.15
The fiction with which I am about to describe the two related events that 200,000 years ago transformed humanity and began changing our direction, in no way negates the fact they occurred. I trust this creative non-fiction won’t be distracting. That said, at about this time ‘Eve’ realized the mental capacity to ask ‘Adam’, “Why am I?”, the question of meaning that gave birth to, thus transformed, humanity. Asking was a natural activity that, after being directed by Nature for two million years into self-creative activity, gave humanity the freedom to choose. 2.16
‘Adam’ looked but couldn’t find the answer to the question of meaning. Fearing this mental unknown he couldn’t flee, he instinctively made up a response with which he tried to fill the void to stem the fear. His reaction to the void was the first unnatural activity to appear in the continuum of human life. And to explain as promised, it was the last unnatural activity to vanish from our history from the present back to the conception of humanity. That explained, I maintain it was not ‘Eves’ question but ‘Adams’ answer that began to change our direction. 2.17
After he tried to fill the void ‘Adam’ remained figuratively white except for two tiny black spots. One was his try to fill the void which replaced an equal amount of natural activity, at the center of his base. The other was the spot of unnatural knowledge, the answer he made up with which he tried to fill the void, a pinhole centered in his natural knowledge. Literally, he felt a bit of inner conflict between natural and unnatural activity. Also, unnatural activity and knowledge created artificial intelligence, diminished his spirit and decreased his realized mental capacity. 2.18
When ‘Adam’ told ‘Eve’ he couldn’t find the answer to her question of meaning and so made up a response with which he tried to fill the void, she acquired his ‘spots’ and experienced the similar literal results. However, having a mind of her own ‘Eve’ disagreed with ‘Adam’ and made up her own answer with which she tried to fill the void. Though their tries had to be alike, since each was directed toward the void within themselves, their directions were opposed. So they introduced into human existence the visible conflict between us, over our tries to the void. 1.19
‘Adam’ and ‘Eve’ became humanity. They combined their respective large amounts of natural activity, complementary small amounts of unnatural activity, corresponding amounts of natural and unnatural knowledge, of natural and artificial intelligence, and slightly diminished realized capacities and spirit. They also exhibited signs of the minor internal conflict between natural and unnatural activity, and the overt conflict between them caused by their tries to fill the void. The resultant was figuratively and literally as white, peaceful and self-creative as it may ever be. 2.20
Therefore the direction of humanity was almost entirely outward toward self-creation with an almost negligible pull inward toward self-destruction by the first try to fill the void. But as noted when identifying the ways we now try to fill the void, in the 200,000 years since, our ancestors changed the direction of humanity to almost entirely inward. Thus our resultant, the sum of all individual components of natural and unnatural activity is now figuratively and literally almost as black, full of conflict and as self-destructive as it can be, without actually being complete. 2.21
The change in direction was caused by natural activity and the resulting increasing fear of the void. The void was initially the size and had the effect of a ‘pinhole. So our first ancestors’ fear of this unknown had almost no effect. But, as our ancestors continued to question and uncover facts around it, the void acquired the size, and the effect of, a black hole. Accordingly, their fear of it, their tries to fill the void within and so their movement inward toward self-destruction increased; and their “reaching out...” and so their movement toward self-creation decreased. 2.22
Humanity approached the point of change at the rate facts were being discovered. The rate increased gradually until the start of the industrial revolution about 1760. At that time the bare majority of individuals was still heading and thus leading all of humanity toward self-creation. However, not long into the revolution the rate of discovery began to increase exponentially. Since only a slight increase would have been enough to change direction, soon a growing majority of individuals was heading and thus pulling all of humanity toward self-destruction. 2.23
The exponential increase in the rate of accumulating knowledge alone would have changed the direction of humanity but it was aided in two ways. First, industrialization separated us from nature. Likely as a result, someone decided giving up on living could be a reaction to the void. Though it is optional, “giving up”, unnatural inactivity, like unnatural activity, is opposed to our innate “reaching out...” so it causes conflict within us. Also, an individual who gives up is dead weight and so causes passive conflict between us. Lastly, giving up is clearly self-destructive. 2.24
The optional unnatural components of activity and inactivity can’t combine nor can they stand alone. Natural activity is essential. Without some we self-destruct. So to repeat, our activities blend natural and complementary unnatural components. In theory it’s possible for our activity to be completely natural as it was prior to the birth of humanity. But, in practice it’s impossible because we inherit our activities from the resultant of humanity that is now almost completely unnatural activity. This is also why our natural component is most likely smaller than the unnatural. 2.25
The unique components we inherit are complementary which just means the bigger the natural component, the smaller unnatural component or vice versa. They aren’t in a fixed ratio. At the very least we increase our natural component a bit and decrease our unnatural component by that amount, or vice versa. But more likely, like almost every individual since ‘Adam’, we greatly increase our tries to fill the void and decrease our “reaching out...” accordingly. Thus to repeat, our collective activity is almost completely unnatural with just enough natural to keep us alive. 2.26
We can’t know the limit on the unnatural activity we can add to our resultant before we destroy our environment or completely self-destruct. Given our level of conflict it can’t be much. More definitely, the scientists on Council for The Human Future tell us any addition can cause any of the risks to our existence to become a certainty at any time. However, until we reach that limit our imminent extinction may not be inevitable. If we’ve not gone beyond the point of no return, there is the way back. We got here by trying to fill the void. We get back by emptying the void. 2.27
Part 3: Their Integration.
Right from the time I set up my site I felt one of the ways I would try to publicize it would be to post a condensed version of Dr. Sears diet. It occurred to me the ideal life I explain in “The Last Why: the poem”, needed the ideal diet. However, I realized only recently that rather than just drawing attention to the essence of my poem I could integrate a prose version of it with my rewrite of the diet. The realization was triggered by the thought we choose the diet we feed our bodies from the information we feed our minds. The essays were connected by their continua. 3.1
Both are represented by horizontal lines I label “Diet”(diet c) and “Life”(life c). Recall the mid and end points have a number of defining labels but for now I start with “Life” at the midpoints and “Death” at the endpoints. On the (diet c) life is the result of the natural diet. On the (life c) life is the result of natural activity. On the (diet c) death is the result of unnatural diets that at the left end have fatally too little insulin and at the right end have fatally too much insulin. On the (life c) death is the result of unnatural inactivity at the left end and unnatural activity on the right end. 3.2
Since death is death no matter how we die, to be concise I bent the arms of the continua down at their midpoints until they coincided. I thus created two vertical continua with “Life” at their tops and “Death” at their bottoms. Also at the top of the (diet c) is ease defined as “freedom from disease”. At the top of the (life c) is peace which is freedom from conflict. Disease can be the conflict between our I/MS and the results of unnatural diets. And the conflict within and between us caused by our unnatural activities and inactivity, can be the disease of humanity. 3.3
Eating the natural diet is a natural activity; and eating more or less than the natural diet is that amount more or less of unnatural activity and inactivity respectively. At the top of the (life c) is self-creation, the result of natural activity and thus of eating the natural diet. At its bottom are both active and passive self-destruction, the result of unnatural activity and inactivity and thus of eating totally unnatural diets more and less than the natural diet respectively. Active conflict at the bottom of the (life c) can be considered hot and the passive conflict can be cold. 3.4
Thus the diet and life continua merge. Between the top and bottom is “a continuous sequence of adjacent elements.” As we move from top to bottom, life, natural activity, the natural diet, ease, peace, self-creation decrease; and depending on our focus unnatural activity or inactivity, unnatural diets either more or less than the natural diet, hot or cold disease or conflict, passive or active self-destruction, hot or cold death increase. The increasing disease is a variable blend of physical/mental/spiritual determined by the diet of information we feed our minds. 3.5
Figuratively, we’re all on a personal vertical continuum. I define it with just peace/self-creation/life at the top and conflict/self-destruction/death at the bottom. Our location on it is represented by an enlarged point, which contains the other points of reference, our life data. Our focus can be on only natural activity and the complementary unnatural activity. We can move our dot up by increasing our natural activity which decreases our unnatural activity accordingly. Or we can move our dot down by increasing our unnatural activity which decreases our natural activity. 3.6
Our individual continua combine to form the continuum of humanity so it is likewise defined by peace/self-creation/life at the top and conflict/self-destruction/death at the bottom. The point on it that represents the location of humanity is the resultant of combining the relative amounts of natural and unnatural activity in the points that locate us. As noted we can guess at our location between life and death by judging the relative amounts of conflict and peace that characterize our existence. Thus, as noted I have guessed we’re at the bottom, knocking on death’s door. 3.7
However, figuratively, we can quit knocking and choose to nourish ourselves with Nature’s nutritional ideal. We just have to decide “the last why” can’t be answered and empty the void of the ways we’ve tried. If we do we’ll be left with increasing, self-creative natural activity, “reaching out to the limits of our capacities, to others and to Nature’s God”, the ideal reaction to the void. It will pull us toward life at the top of our continuum where we’ll discover what we can be. If we don’t empty the void, we’ll watch unnatural activity, our reactions to nothing, destroy everything. 3.8
Part 4: Existential Risks & Nature’s Nutritional Ideal
This part was unplanned. I was going to stop after integrating nature’s ideal diet and nature’s ideal life to create “Nature’s Nutritional Ideal”. However as noted, at the beginning of May 2021 I clicked on a twitter link to videos describing 10 existential risks, presented at a March conference by the Council for The Human Future. They were mind blowing. I’m guessing had I not seen that link I’d still not have heard of these presentations. Since our existence depends on eliminating the risks I first thought the apparent lack of publicity was itself an existential risk. 4.1
Then I thought, having just explained our existence I should explain how we can eliminate the risks to our existence if we have time. In a report on the videos it’s stated,“None of them can be solved in isolation.(questionable) “…they [can’t] be overcome..[without] universal cooperation.(true) No government[s] yet [have] a plan…”(true) “We here call on them to develop one…”(insane call) “The basic cause is human… [activity]”(true) “We need a Green New Deal that reduces inequality.”(No) Without an economy that ends inequality we won’t get “universal cooperation.” 4.2
One of the named risks is nuclear annihilation. I’m quite sure this risk can be eliminated in isolation from the others with a stroke of a pen. Similarly, I believe the risk of electronic artificial intelligence can be eliminated without adversely affecting the others simply by eliminating the artificial intelligence we have stored in our minds. Eliminating all the risks will require a planned movement of humanity but what we call government can’t be involved. Politics and universal cooperation are mutually exclusive. The primary concern of politicians is political extinction. 4.3
The “human activity” that’s “the basic cause” of the existential risks is our unnatural activity, the ways we “try to fill the void.” Identifying “trying to fill the void” as the mother of all existential risks defines the plan to eliminate them. It is commonly noted “we have to fix our broken relationship with nature.” Unfortunately this evokes the image of a break between the mass of humanity and the immensity of nature which seems an impossible task. In fact, the break is our individual relationship with nature’s nutritional ideal which we can repair by emptying the void. Will we? 4.4
As noted we try to fill the void with money. Trying locates us in a cone-shaped vertical economy. The one of us at the top can’t suck up enough money to fill the void. For the billion or so at the bottom there’s not enough left to buy food to fill their stomachs. The rest of us form the continuum between. The economy sucks the life out of us and Nature. If we discard this try to fill the void with money and “reach out to the limits of our capacities, to others and to Nature’s God” we will raze the vertical economy and leave a horizontal green one that’s our servant not our God. Will we? 4.5
Sex is natural. But, females try to find meaning in motherhood. Males partly cooperate but rarely do we say, “I just want to be a dad.” Both sexes try to fill the void with anesthetic, consensual sex. Males often try with non-consensual sex. However sex happens, the result is a population that keeps increasing beyond what ‘Mother Nature’ can sustain even after aborting those still unable to be directly involved in the struggle to “fill the void” with sex. Will we ever “… reach out to… others and Nature’s God..” in the way the birth of humans won’t be the death of humanity? 4.6
We number 7.8 billion. 85% try to fill the void in the religious part of the ‘box’. The leader of 1.2 billion is Pope Francis. It’s May 2021. Like every Pope since 1947 he’s praying for peace in the Middle East. He’s always praying for the poor. He doesn’t note the vertical economy. It seems “the poor will always be with us.” He prays for the climate. Kerry, the US climate ambassador said Francis is “one of the great voices of reason and compelling moral authority on the climate crisis.” Will religious leaders ever come clean? Will followers ever see they have no clothes? 4.7
4 billion of us are ‘ruled’ by democracy, found in the philosophical part of the ‘box’. 2.6 billion live in a declining democracy. The USA, the self-declared defender of democracy is in the steepest decline. Democracy was given birth and is sustained by divisions that preclude the unity we need to eliminate the existential risks. After speeches the president asks God to protect his troops that defend democracy. “Democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others.” Will followers ever see defending all forms is an existential risk, and discard them? 4.8
The answer to these and related questions isn’t an absolute no, but it is close. We have a lot of artificial knowledge but we aren’t smart. Quite a few years ago I read if a frog is placed in a pan of water which is heated, the frog will remain in the water until it dies. Recently I searched the story and discovered it is untrue. It was shown a frog will try to escape the warming water. We do not demonstrate that level of existential intelligence. We just keep on turning up the heat in our environment and living like there is a tomorrow. We are definitely dumber than frogs. 4.9
I noted at the beginning “Nature’s Nutritional Ideal” is my last try to publicize the explanation of our existence. If it can’t raise our collective level of realized mental capacity that has remained unchanged since ‘Eve’ asked ‘Adam’ “Why am I?” and he first tried to fill the void, nothing will. In his March 2021 video Prof Steffen, an earth systems scientist, recalled his 2019 report stated if we start making changes now we can avoid entering “hot house earth” in 2030. In May 2021 we can’t wait to return to normal after Covid. So all that’s left for me to do is write my epitaph for humanity. 4.10
There once was a species called homo insane-us.
It died with its head stuck inside its own annus.
Part 5: Appendix
Dr. Sears sold over 5 million copies of his books. As noted I read “Mastering the Zone” in 1998. I haven’t heard of “The Zone” since. My doctor told me to keep doing what I was doing but he wasn’t interested in details. A brother in-law, a doctor said he follows the “see diet”. If he likes what he sees he eats it. A doctor who read an old draft said she wasn’t up on diet. A cardiologist hadn’t heard of eicosanoids. Hence, I’m not going to try relocating the heads of people who don’t care about the existential risk of unnatural diets. So without interest here’s the minimum. 5.1
You can read the complete version of Dr. Sears regime in “Mastering the Zone”. Basically he explained how to determine the daily amount of protein we each need to maintain our lean body mass. He called the amount a daily block. Using the 40/30/30 ratio he calculated the daily blocks of carbs and fat needed to balance the protein. He divided the daily blocks of carbs, protein, and fat into 4 equal meal blocks. Finally he combined three of the respective meal blocks into meals and divided the combination of the remaining 3 into two snacks. 5.2
So far for each meal we have one block of carbs, one block of protein and one block of fat; and for the two snacks we have half a block each. But since one meal block of carbs can be for example, 27 g of broccoli which is a pile, Dr. Sears divided the meal blocks into what I called serving blocks. After some considerable calculations he decided serving blocks are, 9g of carbs, 7g of prot, and 3g of fat for vegans/vegetarians and 1.5g for meat eaters. In an appendix in his book he fills these serving blocks with food which he then combines into recipes for meals. 5.3
I used his block system for 18 years until I discovered a computerized kitchen scale that tells me the nutrients in amounts of food. Now I use a hybrid system. For example, I have a 4 block stew meal which means it contains 4x9=36g of carbs. So on my scale, I enter 250 and slice onions until it reads 4g c. I repeat with carrots and turnip. To the 12g of carbs in the vegetables I add already measured sprouted peas with 12 g of carbs. 12g of fruit make up the 36g of carbs. I know 120g of seitan has 28g of protein. I cook the stew in 2 2/3 tsp of olive oil which has 12g of fat. 5.4
Recall, this paragraph in “Nature’s ideal diet”. An analysis of the natural diet found about 40% of the calories were from carbs, 30% from protein and 30% from fat but 40/30/30 is neat and close enough. A gram of carbs and a gram of protein both produce 4 cals. A gram of fat produces 10 cals. So the weights of nutrients that produces 100 cals. are 40cals/4cals/g = 10 gr. of carbs, 30cals/4cals/g = 7.5 gr. of protein and 30cals/10cals/g = 3 gr. of fat. So a 1200 cal diet would have 12x10 = 120 g of carbs, 12x7.5 = 90 g of protein, and 12x3 = 36 g. of fat. 5.5
I eat a 4 block diet. Counting the 2 snacks as a meal, my meal blocks(b) have 4b x 9g of carb/b = 36g of carbs, 4b x 7g prot/b = 28g prot, and 4b x 3g fat/b = 12g fat/b. So my daily block has 36g carbs/meal x4 meals = 144g of carbs, 28g prot x4 meals = 112 g prot, and 4 meals x 12g fat/meal = 48g of fat. 144g carbs x 4 cal/g = 576 cal; 112g prot x 4cal/g = 448 cal; 48g fat x 10 cal/g = 480 cal. The total is 1504 cals. The %s are 576/1504=.38, 448/1504=.30, 480/1504=.32 or ≠ 40/30/30. I’m 6’, old but active, weigh 145, and pinch an ideal ≠.5 in/1.3 cm abdominal fat. 5.6
To see how unnatural your diet is first learn what foods are considered carbs, protein or fat. Most foods have some of each nutrient but if the weight of one nutrient is more than twice the weight of either of the other two it is considered that nutrient. For examples, except for soybeans, all other beans/legumes have about 3 times more carbs than protein so they are considered carbs. Likewise though they have notable amounts of protein all nuts and nut butters are considered fats. Learn about the Glycemic Index, cooking oils and omega-3 supplements. 5.7
Finally, keep track of the weight/amounts of foods you eat for a week. Search the web for weights of the nutrients in that amount of food then using my 1500 cal diet as reference see if they fit into the caloric diet suitable for you. For example choose the 1200 cal diet from above. Since it has daily blocks of 120g carbs, 90g protein, 36g fat, its meal blocks would be 120g carbs/4 meals = 30g carbs; 90g prot/4 meals = 22.5g prot; 36g fat/4meals = 9g fat. Its snack blocks would be 1/2 those in the meal blocks so 15g carbs; 11g prot; and 4.5g of fat. 5.8
Following are the grams of carbs in a few foods to get you started. An 8oz/250 ml glass of orange juice has 25g. Three segments of a large orange has 9g. A slice of bread has about 18g. A PB&J sandwich has 40 g. 4 4” pancakes without maple syrup has 80 g of carbs. A typical bowl of oatmeal has 27 g. 3”/7.5cm of a medium banana 9g. 250ml/1C of both cooked rice and pasta have 66g. 250ml/1C of kidney beans has 36g of carbs. A Pastry in a try to fill the void, 20 to 60g. Carry on with carbs, protein and fat, and size them for a diet that is ideal for you and your family. 5.9
I can quit now because I am finished. When I began looking for the natural explanation of life 50 years ago I had defaulted to teaching and I thought I should have the explanation in case a student asked. I’ve had an interesting journey. Although not at all what I expected, I do have a ‘classroom’ and I hear the world wondering what’s happening. My answer is our destructive existence indicates our divergence from “Nature’s Nutritional Ideal” that created humanity. We’ve nearly completed the separation. It will be fatal. We may be able to close it. Will anyone will listen? 5.10
Comments
In paragraph 5.3 I mentioned the fat block contained 3g fat for vegetarians and 1.5 for meat eaters. The difference is due to the fat in meat.
Omega -3 especially EPA is not a silver bullet but it is essential. It can be obtained from fish and fish oils and the algae the fish eat. Flax seed oil contains Omega-3 but in excess it inhibits I/MS processes. Look it up.
We need to exercise. If we don’t use it we lose it. But we don’t need to exercise to lose weight. We can eat nature’s ideal diet to maintain our ideal weight and exercise for the pure pleasure.
Every time I governments hear say we should pat ourselves on our backs for saving another small percentage of nature from commercial exploitation I see our heads stuck where we can easily reach our backs. To think we can survive without saving all of nature is a measure of our insanity.
So, Canada is planning a moon shot. We’re Idiots. We should direct our efforts into Prince Williams “Earth Shot”. At least we’d get paid if we win his contest to save our planet even though by 2030 it will be too late to implement the 10 winning solutions.
05/31/21 The province of Alberta Canada is considering 8 coal mining projects in the eastern Rocky Mountains. “It will be good for the economy.” Idiots!
07/20/21 Jeff Bezos thanked his thousands of low wage Amazon employees for paying for his multi-billion ego trip into space while they struggled to make ends meet. I’m sure they would have been grateful had the money been used to increase their low wages. I don’t need to wonder where his head is stuck.
07/21 under: “They’ve got to be kidding”, Australia has been awarded the 2032 Summer Olymipic Games. It is already too hot to hold the 2020 Olympics in Japan. On occasion and more frequently lately they’ve had to postpone the Aussi Open tennis because of extreme heat. At the rate the temperature is increasing, Australia could be just a barren lump of charcoal in the South Pacific in years. If it isn’t are they going to build an air conditioned dome over the entire continent? This is a definite sign humanity is not paying attention to the direction we are headed.
07/21 While channel surfing between the Olympics and news about heat domes, wildfires, and smoke I stumbled upon the last few minutes of the 2004 film “The Day After Tomorrow”. It depicted the sudden occurrence of ice age conditions caused by the collapse of environmental systems that have maintained ideal living conditions since life began.
I wondered if anyone was compiling the video being taken of the wildfires burning around the world, the smoke they cause and the charred remains, the more likely end result of continued climate change than a deep freeze. The film could be called “Today and Tomorrow”. On second thought, there’ll be no one to watch it.
10/08/21 I was reminded recently as happens every few years, ‘predation by domestic cats is the number-one, human-caused threat to birds in the United States and Canada. In the United States alone, outdoor cats kill approximately 2.4 billion birds every year. That means another 240 million killed in Canada. Cats have wiped out some indigenous species in Australia and Hawaii and critically endangered other species around the world. We threaten mammals and marine life directly which have declined by 70% in the past 50 years. We are the greatest threat to humanity. There are pockets of resistance to the decimation but generally we don’t care about Nature.
Yesterday when I walked by a 50 square foot wall display of disposable razors for men I wondered again why they are not mentioned as a source of plastic pollution. Right in the middle, occupying about 24 sq cm of shelf space was one of the old-fashioned double edged blade razors. I bought it and two packs of blades. It has been years since I had a drink through a plastic straw. Using the 🪒 with the recyclable double edge blades will be another way I can reduce the amount of plastic that passes through my hands.
