Some habits don't just change one behavior, they change everything. People who exercise in the morning tend to eat better, spend less, and procrastinate less, without even trying to.
In the age of abundance quite the opposite effect will take place that folks that have not read my 5000 days series can comprehend:
You will have time and skills to do any bespoke work and a market that wants it, not 4000 miles away—but 40 miles away.

Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have created an innovative spray-on powder called AGCL that can stop severe bleeding in about one second.
This powder, made from safe, natural ingredients like alginate, gellan gum, and chitosan, instantly forms a strong hydrogel barrier when it contacts blood. It reacts with calcium ions in the blood to seal the wound quickly, even in deep or irregular injuries—unlike traditional bandages that often fall short.
The material absorbs more than 7 times its weight in blood, sticks firmly under high pressure, and supports fast tissue healing. It's fully biocompatible, with very low risk of cell damage.
Developed with input from an active-duty South Korean Army Major, it's built for extreme conditions like battlefields and disaster zones, where rapid bleeding control can be life-saving. It also stays effective for up to 2 years in hot or humid storage.
This breakthrough promises to transform not only military trauma care but also civilian emergencies, surgeries, and medical aid in remote areas. The research was published in Advanced Functional Materials.

THIS is an example of high human intelligence and the scale of intelligence we must have in anything we call AGI.
If it looks emotional, that is because IT IS.
And if you do the decades of research I have you will know this is the first principle of high intelligence.
