She does have a lot of insecurities. The way it came up was back when my father was dying, my aunt and I left hospice care for an hour or so to get some dinner. On the drive back we had a rather heavy conversation about my childhood. Then she dropped that line on me.

Ngl it fucked me up for a few days there, but shortly after my father’s death I realized something. I am the sole author of my story. She doesn’t get a say and neither does anyone else. I changed my twitter handle to American hodl a few months later. The rest is history.

I’m only directing this at privileged westerners, but that said people make their way to areas of the world with more opportunities and freedom all the time and make something of themselves. Where there’s a will there’s a way.

My current health plan is:

-Eat real nutrient dense foods.

-Intermittent fast for 12–16 hours per day. Vibes based. And sometimes go multi-day.

-Go for long walks or bike rides in the sun daily. Touch grass and do stuff. Often you can combine this with business meetings.

-Sprint a couple times per week.

-Do cold plunges a couple times per week. Seriously, this seems easy to skip and it’s hard. But if you want to triple dopamine levels for the working day without later downsides, putting yourself in freezing water is the thing.

-Do some squats and pushups. And then deadlift your own body weight for several reps.

-Even then you’ll potentially fail. This isn’t one of those meme posts. I used to be utterly ripped in my competitive martial arts days in my late teens until my mid twenties. But then I got distracted, mainly due to a broken leg and lack of direction. Over the past several Covid years, I’ve weakened, and had trouble hiking mountains. I still have visible abs but they feel fake now. But I focus on a couple things amid my crazy work, which I have ingrained now. The first is intermittent fasting. It literally fixes all my other errors as a baseline. I can fuck up for a year and not gain weight because I only eat in 6 or 8 hour windows. Or even 10 hours. The rest of the time trains the body to burn fat. Next is I do a reasonable baseline of pushups, squats, and sprints per week. Nobody can make me choose to. It’s just my baseline. Last is I do a lot of squats and bicycling to keep my leg muscles interested, which have been mediocre. So if a new martial arts leader has a plan, I’m happy to listen.

It’s nice that you came to that conclusion on your own. Good chat champ.

Digital, generative, and AI combined. No matter the tools, expression is art.

Could you help my brain process the meaning of this? Would you give me some examples of what actual incentives are in a broken system vs. incentives in a fixed money system etc? Please clarify for me what your understanding it. I'd like to grasp it too.

Maybe it’s because I work with spreadsheets and boring finance stuff all day, but in terms of fiction I often gravitate toward more fantastical things, like fantasy and sci fi.

I figure if I’m going to read or watch fiction, instead of seeing people navigate boring real life problems, I might as well go all the way and see them try to take down a magical dark lord or something.

But in terms of boring real life movies, there are some amazing ones that hit me anyway despite those preferences. Like Michael Clayton was sooo good even though legal thrillers aren’t my thing. Hard to believe it’s approaching two decades old.

Fix the money fix the world.... that's what the saying goes like, right?! I am just curious what fixing the world looks like once the money is fixed...

Would that mean no more big pharma, big food, big ag, big gov, geo engineering and poisoning of the planet, no bioweapons, wars and killing of soil and microbiom and prevention of 6th mass extiction event?

Hodl is ridiculous sometimes. It's just like his assertion that all you need to do to fix your depression is go to the gym. People commit suicide because of depression but they could have saved themselves if they'd gone to the gym. He has also insisted that bitcoin will hit $1 million this bull run but his prediction for the last bull run was $300k. We havent even hit $75k yet. I like Hodl he means well but he isn't to be taken seriously.

Are Bitcoiners right about raw milk?

This true? It seems a little too simplistic. Plant/seed oils are definitely mitochodrial disruptors. Just unsure how much that translates to both uneven subdermal fat in legs and excessive fat deposits in the chest.

Things which you actively dislike and disparage, are not things you don’t care about.

They’re things you care about but that don’t go the way you expected.
