Contingent Phil might do TikTok presentations: Brief Bullets

• My good friend and friendly neighbour has an idea for me (us) to create short TikTok presentations.

• My own suggestion is that he 'hosts' and I provide the bulk of content. 

• I am Contingent Phil on TikTok (Contingent Philosopher). 

• So far, I have created no videos. 

• I am too often contacted by 'strange women', that I attempt to avoid.

• TikTok does have some interesting, intellectual content. 

• My friend and friendly neighbour, likes the content of fellow Canadian and psychologist, Jordon B. Peterson. 

• My friend states that like Peterson, I am blunt, and that I don't really care too much about critics, and I seek the truth.

• My friend told me the other night that I am looking thinner and younger. 

• By God's lead, this is largely, in-part, due to my permanent low carb diet. 

• Video 1: A church friend recently sent the first video link below, I have been on a low carb diet for over a year and lost 64+ pounds. 

• I have always been a low calorie intake person, and have exercised regularity since I was four years old.

• Video 2: A person should generally avoid walking through tunnels. If this is rather unavoidable, I would consider legal means in one's legal jurisdiction to protect self.

• I agree with the video, to be alert and to make full use of one's senses.

• A benefit of martial arts that teach street fighting, is awareness.

• Video 3: I prayerfully keep progressing in Christ, and improve where I can.

• I take accountability, and seek progress.

• I seek progress over excuses for stagnation.

• I cannot govern what other people do, in regards to me.

• Government work will keep me busy, but God-willing, I will continue with my academic writing, as well as being social.

• In person, taking priority over online. 

• 1 John 5:14-15 from the New American Standard Bible (NASB): And this is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked before Him.

My sleep apnea has been permanently significantly declined through UPPP (I have no uvula, and that is a formal excuse to avoiding singing) and Rhinoplasty surgeries, from years ago. I have not woke up in the middle of the night, choking, in years. 

I needed the Rhinoplasty, in particular, as I was bottled in downtown Manchester, by a thug, when him and his two buddies could not beat me up. My from the neck up (no brain surgeries) surgeries are now minor maintenance. The very low carb, no potatoes, no pasta, diet, helps immensely with weight loss.

I was just back from a second visit to a Vancouver cosmetic surgeon. She is a real genius, with an instant eye for what needs to be improved. She says: 'You don't look so mean now.'

Bullets on baseball bat/bat defence

• As a proficient, amateur martial artist, that has studied and trained for decades, including being trained from an MMA trainer online...

• Here is my take on a baseball bat/bat defence, which I do practice. 

• I completely agree with the video on having the hands up. 

• I am not as confident, as the video, with being able to avoid the first bat strike. 

• But in agreement with the video, I should always attempt to avoid being struck.

• If on the 'street', it might be a surprise attack, perhaps from behind.

• Assuming I am facing the attacker, before the first strike...

• If initially, I can move inside quickly on the attacker, I would double-hand grab the bat where the attacker is grasping the weapon.

• Assuming here the bat might strike the top of my left arm and perhaps the back, painful but manageable. 

• Assuming here the bat might strike my ribs, I need to simultaneously move my body away from the bat, to limit impact. 

• Again, in repeat, not a second time, if initially, I can move inside quickly on the attacker, I would double-hand grab the bat where the attacker is grasping the weapon. 

 • As I do this I hold the bat down with my left hand, and with my right elbow, fiercely strike the attack in the head and neck area, several times. 

• Most likely, most often, with the elbow tip.

• A knee to the stomach and/or groin area might work.

• If the bat is dropped, it opens up opportunities for a rear-naked choke or from the front, a guillotine choke. 

• Unlike the video example, I would not let go of the bat, as much as possible.

• If I did let go, I would attempt to grab the bat again, and hopefully disarm.

• If initially, I have to move quickly on outside of the attacker, instead of the inside, I would double-hand grab the bat where the attacker is grasping the weapon.

• Here with an outside move it is more likely I will get struck, hopefully minimally.

• From the outside, I  would attempt a double-hand grab the bat where the attacker is grasping the bat. 

• This time, I would attempt to hold the bat with the right hand and strike viciously with mainly left tip, elbow strikes.

• If the bat is dropped, it open up opportunities for a rear-naked choke or from the front, a guillotine choke. 

• In agreement with video, there are punching options, to the head and neck.

• If hit from behind, if not knocked out from a head shot...

• I would follow as already noted.
