Going to bed late is associated with a higher IQ.

Researchers at the London School of Economics analyzed thousands of individuals to map the relationship between circadian rhythms and cognitive ability.

People with higher IQs are significantly more likely to be night owls.

The data breaks it down by sleep schedules:

• Very Dull (IQ < 75): Sleep by 11:41 PM
• Normal (IQ 90–110): Sleep by 12:10 AM
• Very Bright (IQ > 125): Sleep by 1:44 AM (and sleep in past 11:00 AM on weekends)

Why? Evolutionary psychology.

For 99% of human history, night was for sleeping. Artificial light didn't exist. Staying up late chasing complex thoughts, building projects, or solving problems is an "evolutionarily novel preference."

People with higher general intelligence are more equipped to override ancestral instincts, break away from the traditional sun-up-sun-down routine, and adapt to a modern, 24/7 world.

The early bird might get the worm.

But the night owl gets the higher IQ score.

I read some from both Lawrence and Richard on preg.

I haven’t ever dosed nearly as high as Richard does. Ripped 200mg 3x the previous 3 days.

My mood is undoubtedly better, focus is better, sleep feels better, reactivity is dramatically lower.

We will see if it persists.

Christ is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities⁠—all things were created through him and for him.

Palmer Luckey explains the curse of being a billionaire

"People also misunderstand. They think that billionaires work to make more money.....for most billionaires, the sickness is not gathering dollars..."

Interviewer: "21 and you're a billionaire."

Palmer Luckey: "That's right."

Interviewer: "Why didn't you just go, 'Okay, that's me done. I've done all the hard work. I'm just going to enjoy my life now.'"

Palmer Luckey: "It is a common question, and what I've observed with myself and everyone else I know who's made a billion dollars is that the type of person who makes a billion dollars is not the kind of guy who can imagine doing that. It's just people say, 'Oh, you know, if I had a billion, I'd go and I'd drink mai tais on the beach.' My point is, that's the attitude that won't get you to a billion dollars. It's very rare that the two things come together. And so, in a way, it's a little bit of a curse. And I'm not trying to make it sound like I have a terrible life. I love my life. But the curse of it is that anyone who can get to a billion probably has something wrong with their brain where no matter how much they get, they'll never stop working."

"People also misunderstand. They think that billionaires work to make more money. Like, 'Oh, they're just trying to make more and more. They just want money.' I can tell you, for most billionaires, the sickness is not gathering dollars. It's working and doing things. If they didn't have any money, they would probably still be doing the same thing. You know, but money is a good scoreboard to keep track of who's doing more. But I couldn't imagine not working. My wife would be the first to tell you I'm a bit of a workaholic, and it's because I love what I'm doing. Why would I go sit on a beach when I could be working at Anduril? Why would I go get a massage when I can do a 12-hour shift?"

And even then still only doing T4 with “good panels” means nothing about how the cells absorb and use T3. Even starting with a very small dose of T3 with your T4 has shown INSANE results. There is no ubiquitously agreed upon test that shows the uptake of T3 by cells on those just on T4.

I have my appointment on the 22nd of this month and I’m pushing for T3 combination therapy.

[Trophy Dad | I Coach Dads Off "Normal" @HypertrophyHub]

talking to a guy who has been on levothyroxine for years.

still not right, still being told he's managed.

levothyroxine is T4 only. it's the standard play and it does nothing for the two things actually driving him: conversion and antibodies.

if your gut, cortisol, vitamin d or selenium status is bad, part of that T4 shunts into reverse T3 instead, and reverse T3 sits on the receptor blocking the active hormone. so the TSH comes back in range, the doctor says you're medicated, but you feel like garbage anyway.

push to get the free T3 checked. years of treatment, zero measurement of whether the treatment was working.

🚨 BREAKING: $HIMS SIGNED A DEAL WORTH UP TO $30 MILLION FOR PEPTIDE API MANUFACTURING KNOW-HOW

Not an acquisition of a company -- this is a tech/expertise transfer so Hims can make certain peptide APIs in-house

From the 10-Q:

"In July 2026, the Company entered into a one-time agreement with a company in the peptide manufacturing industry to obtain the expertise and technology necessary for the Company to independently manufacture certain peptide active pharmaceutical ingredients in exchange for aggregate cash payments of up to $30.0 million, contingent upon the achievement of certain milestones, and expected to be paid over the next 12 months."

As @LawrenceElliots said, pregnenolone

And if you have negative side effects, mmm I don't have an answer for you, self-speculate and think about other cause other than just the supplement itself

1000 mg (1 g) daily, split dosing throughout the day, has given me no problems
