This is cringe bc it’s health related at the beginning of a new year, but:
Your health should allow you to go off routine once in a while bc life demands it but bounce back shortly afterwards. Resilience is the pinnacle of health. This will be different for everyone.
Your ancestors probably drank into the night and still went out to erect, till, hunt, farm, sully redcoats, etc. at daybreak. Point is you have such substance within you to develop for you to ride through life. The finer points, I think, are figuring out your weaker points, improving those and managing them in the course of upsets.
That 50% feels like a ball and chain if you cannot leave no matter where you go. Someone once said (paraphrasing here) make someone feel free and they’re the perfect prisoner.
I think there are parallels here with software and other things where road construction, maintenance AND planning can be achieved in a centralized manner. If they’re considered infrastructure and what they need to facilitate (commerce, transportation), then a decentralized nature is relevant for the best solution. Very similar, in my opinion, to what caused Lightning to come about. But this decentralized nature was already happening with free men. Weird.
Terrific article! A substantive post that goes hand in hand with ‘you can just do things’.
A little more explanation on the sunrise note for NYE. Long story short- get to the sunrise even after a late night out.

Happy Jan 01! Hope you had a great time celebrating. If you got to sunrise, great! If not still get outside for your light dose today and make your evenings dark.

Just a reminder- get your SCN, leptin and TCA cycle utilization up by exposure to solar luminescence even after being up for the New Year!
See the sunrise for Jan 1, see more sun each day of 2026.
How much? Start with as much as you can. Punctuate your days with changes in sunlight spectrum (UVAs) and make your nights dark.
This summer I was up several times during the night (young one) and saw the sunrise and got cold when I could to keep things running well. You can bet I’ll do the same after being up for NYE.
2026- ring in the new year with sats and solar exposure.
A 23-year old YouTuber just exposed billions in fraud that the government knew about for 7 years.
Your grandparents paid taxes their whole lives. That money went to empty buildings with daycare signs taped to the windows.

If George Washington knew what would sprout out of DC he would have burned it to the ground.
“I did that!”
She can ‘drop’ to 2%. Such a precise number. Must be hard to go to less than 2%.
I hope the best for Europeans.
When exercising outside, don’t let snow and cold stop you from getting a good session in. Get a hat, gloves, warm shoes and go to town.
Use any number of combos from below (I draw from this list frequently) and do for reps, time, whatever works.
Example- for 20minutes do 5 pull-ups, 10 pushups, 15 squats. Rest as needed.
My favorite after traveling is pull-ups and lunges.
It’s December. You should seek the cold rather than avoid it totally. Start simple with face in cold water and gradually up the full body water exposure.
Your body will generate its own light in form of ultraweak photon emissions (UPEs), something needed during winter months. It also makes your mitochondria healthier.
So slow. It’ll never take over. Don’t believe that lightning nonsense.
Btw have you heard of XRP?
Similar story here. $25 to withdraw and waiting over two weeks for it to arrive via snailmail.
Pre-dawn light, breaks for sun and cold exposure, high fat higher protein breakfast. This is conducive to living in northern latitudes.
I know holidays come up and the festivities with them require a deviation on my part which is fine. I learned this summer that sunrise is the numero uno lever to always pull to keep on the circadian, quantum wagon. You’ll be more resilient and still enjoy time with loved ones and make new friends.
Your training should be decentralized if possible. Sometimes you’ll find you’re short on time or without access. So what to do?
Alternates and Substitutions
Example
Needed to run but can’t do full time or distance?
Do lunges and jump rope.
-Lunges for strength and the other for cardio effect and training rest of the leg.
Alternate between the two for the time available.
1min lunge into 1min jump rope for 20minutes. Quality reps.
-Winter Training Plan-
Basic premise - do what you can outside as much as you can.
More to come on how I’m doing that this winter to be prepared for the spring. Winter is a time to rest and recover certainly but if you must move and do something I’ll lay out my approach to managing practicality and keeping health at the forefront.
‘I’m aligned with how the EU penalizes people for advancing and existing’
Also in the morning try a cold shower. Just try a minute for as much as you can stand. Then dry and get outside just before sunrise. You’re ready for the day and will appreciate the quiet sounds of the morning. Best part of the day for me.

Parsing through some of the costs to build certain facilities.
Everything just goes up and up.
And it’s not commensurate with resolution of study (higher stage gate = higher cost)
The inflation literally just goes unchecked.
Would be better to stack sats and reorient your energy to figure out what’s important/ gives value.
Cold exposure for those with northern haplotyoes helps you enjoy the winter months! Get some friends and family together, fire up the grill and hot beverages and go plunge in some water.
What day of the week do we feel most decentralized?
SAT-urday!!
This to me is a fascinating substance our body makes, melanin. Snipping from this study check out the table of what melanin does. If you’re worried about consuming fish with heavy metals you can lower your risk with ample sun exposure to the skin.
Naked eyes, naked skin, photons get in.
Best exercise - the one you’ll do.
Best diet - what ever is local and in season that you can sustain
Best nutrient - sunlight. Nothing compares. This above all else and everything follows.
Pain is many people’s ( and mine ) biggest signal. They need something significant to fully want to unplug and unlearn.
If you’re looking for something to do exercise or fitness wise and don’t care for barbells I usually direct people towards obtaining the standards of the La Sierra High school fitness program.

Getting to the Blue Standdards in 4 years is a challenge but achievable.
Getting the minimum requirements on half of the items would be a great start in the first year of training.
Try eating it outside only for fruit.
If George Washington knew what DC would become I think he would have made sure to burn it to the ground.
The tragedy of the commons
Here is where a system of rules is greater than system of rulers.
Nirmal Purja stands out as one of the fittest people. You maybe saw the film 14 Peaks.
This guy trained and was selected into the Gurkhas and Special Boat Service. Then he summits 14 of the 8000er (meters) in six months and six days. This has since been broken but this guy is still doing mountain summits.
There’s a few scenes where he Carries other climbers- already a feat to do so with your own gear but then fireman carry someone else your size at that altitude is wild.
Freak guy. I think Jack Kruse was onto something with the Sherpas and their mitochondria.
