Islamophobia : ambiguities in Europe
I live in Malaysia ( and related socmed ) so I spend more time discussing with Muslims how Islamophobia works, than I do in European circles.
- Premise 1 : West : the individual has first, an allegiance to state, and within it some freedoms of faith.
- Premise 2 : Islam : the individual has first, an allegiance to faith, and within it some freedoms of state.
Subsequently the shortest path to peaceful co-existence, is to make these premises EXPLICIT, in legislation. Western states should recruit citizens with *explicit* frameworks for how [ individuals coming from Premise 2, "Muslims" ] will be treated.
Correspondingly, GLOBAL-scale Islamic authorities should provide explicit frameworks for how [ Muslims ] should engage with [ states asserting Premise 1 ].
All of this sets up PUBLIC protocols for engagement, shifting from high-context ambiguity, fraught with fear, to low-context confidence, and hopes for civilisational progress on a heterogeneous Earth.
nutrition : imidazole dipeptides / IDPs
This is turning out to be an interesting group of molecules.
- histadine containing : most common in chicken, fish, and then other skeletal muscle meats
- antioxidant and pH buffering : "instant energy" end-user experience
- generally not saturated in humans, so there are benefits to eating it
- also some research linking these to Parkinson's Disease ( neural death in the Substantia Nigra associated with oxidative stress )
- carnosine :
- the common supplement is beta alanine, as carnosine is produced in humans, but beta alanine is usually the rate-limiting input
- anserine :
- uncommon commercially
- balenine :
- uncommon commercially
