A 470,000-person study found sunscreen users had dramatically higher skin cancer rates and the researchers tried to explain it away.
What?!
@HeatherEHeying emphasizes, "they've got three explanations to whisk away their result and then ignore that result for the rest of their discussion, the rest of their paper is extraordinarily bad form."
Dr. Bret Weinstein: "Well, it is absolutely par for the course for modern science, where there is dogma in each of the fields. You can validate the dogma, the more extreme your validation, the faster you're going to rise. And if you say anything that goes against the dogma, you have to explain it away and you have to deliver the paragraph that says we found X, but we still believe Y."

There are unsaturated and less popular sites that hire remote workers daily with little competition. Pay range is between $130-$250/day, and you won't be expected to join any calls.
Here's a quick list for anyone interested:
Luck is 100% contagious and won't be convinced otherwise
Everyone knows the dude who gets to some wealth number says "i'm good now no need for more" then gets handed a 10x within a year or two. Applies to all aspects of life really.
Once you don't need it, luck shows up big
If you actually want to change your life as fast as possible, this is the single most effective thing you can do, and you only need 10 to 30 minutes a day for it, ideally first thing in the morning the second you open your eyes, or at night the moment you get in bed before you fall asleep, because in both windows your brain is already drifting toward the exact state you want, it's halfway in trance on its own, that's when imagery actually sinks in instead of bouncing off.
Find a place where you won't be interrupted, lie flat on your back or sit in a chair with your back fully supported and your hands resting open, don't cross your legs or arms because crossing keeps tension in the body, close your eyes.
Start with the breath, in through your nose for four counts, hold for two, out through your mouth slowly for six to eight counts, do this for two or three minutes until your body starts feeling heavier.
Then move into the body scan, focus on your toes and silently tell them to relax and soften, then your feet, ankles, calves, knees, thighs, hips, lower back, stomach, chest, shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, neck, jaw, face, eyes, forehead, and the top of your head, take your time, you're not trying to force anything, you're just lowering internal noise.
To go deeper, count backwards from 10 to 1 slowly, telling yourself with each number that you're going twice as deep, "ten, going deeper, nine, twice as deep, eight, even deeper still," and visualize something descending in your mind, a staircase you're walking down, an elevator going floor by floor, sinking through warm water, the image doesn't matter, what matters is the feeling of going down.
When you reach one you should feel a kind of stillness, your body heavy or strangely weightless, your thoughts slower and further apart, this is the working state.
Now pick one specific scene, not an abstract goal but a moment you can step into mentally.
If it's health, don't think "I want to be healthy," see yourself moving through a normal day with physical ease, walking without effort, breathing clearly, your body light and responsive.
If it's confidence, see yourself in a real situation where you'd normally hesitate, but now you speak steady and direct, things unfold without internal resistance.
If it's discipline, see yourself already inside the routine, doing the work without negotiation as if it's simply what you do.
Always stay in first person, through your own eyes, what's directly in front of you, the texture of the environment, the light in the space, then sound, voices in the room, the rhythm of your breathing, then physical sensation, the weight of your body, temperature on the skin, the way you occupy space when you're not resisting yourself.
Don't force excitement, allow the quieter states to appear, relief that things are simple, a sense of "this is already how I operate," a quiet internal stability that doesn't need justification, you're not building a fantasy, you're rehearsing familiarity.
Repeat the scene at least ten times, see the picture each time, feel the feeling each time, then sit in that state for a few minutes doing nothing and let it soak in.
To come back, count up from 1 to 5, telling yourself with each number that you're becoming more aware, "one, coming back, two, feeling lighter, three, more awake, four, fully present, five, eyes open," wiggle your fingers and toes, take a deep breath, sit up slowly.
The most important rule is don't try to force it, the harder you grip "I have to get into trance" the more your beta brain stays online and blocks it, treat it like falling asleep, you can only set the conditions and let it happen.
Don't judge the session either, some days you'll go deep and some days you'll barely drop in, both still work because repetition is what burns the new pattern in, do it daily for three to four weeks before deciding if it's working.
It is infinitely more profitable to figure out what you are good at.
The reason it isn't sold to people, is there is no easy fix of just "put in more hours". You have to iterate over and over again trying hundreds of things
That requires real cognitive work, so they don't try
Yeah people think museums are for entertainment. For those that know it's the closest thing you'll ever get to legitimate fortune telling
Ask what is coming for you in life, turn off all devices, walk around slowly. Three to Five images draw you in = that's your answer
The most promising hair-loss drug should come out around 2028/29.
PP405.
By modulating how cells burn sugar, it can revive dead follicles.
Be on the lookout.
Back in 2010s it was actually "clout" to say you worked at a top firm (Goldman, Facebook etc.)
Now? All the rich people are just small business owners, online/real estate whatever.
People who don't adapt will be living frugal lifestyles by 2035
I'm a firm believer that everything always works out as long as you stay in motion. You don't even have to know what you're doing. You often won't. Just avoid spending the majority of your time in your head
Go out and talk to people. Tinker with shiny objects that stoke your curiosity. Follow excitement without judgement. Collect a story to tell. Don't label and categorize activities or wonder if you're being productive or not. Simply do things because you can and be engaged with whatever you're doing
If you can end each day having gained a bit more interestingness, absorbed a bit more inspiration, or experienced a bit more life, all is well. Embodying this feeling is all that's required for you to rest easy knowing you got ahead, because forward progress is measured by the energy you radiate rather than the outcomes you see
Now it's merely a simple matter of continuing to get ahead. Light on your feet, surrendering to the flow of reality. The path will appear in front of you. Lucky breaks, unpredictable blessings, lightbulb moments abound. Not a matter of if, but when. Trust yourself. Enjoy the journey. God will never lead you astray
Since so few guys actually talk to girls any more it’s actually quite hard to get intel on the dating scene in cities. Ask guys how the dating scene is in a city and they’ll tell how it is on dating apps, but not much outside of that. We’re becoming a society of timid introverts
Your biggest enemy in your late teens/early 20s is chasing social status
At 21, I got into a Master’s in Corporate Finance.
At the time, the absolute dream was getting a summer internship in investment banking in London.
I had no fucking clue what investment banking actually was.
I just felt like I needed it to prove my value to my classmates.
One interview at some M&A boutique in Paris was enough to make me give up on investment banking forever.
I walked in and saw two pale dudes asking me dogshit accounting questions with dead eyes.
The interview barely lasted.
I completely failed it.
Then I looked at the compensation packages people were fighting for after graduation.
It felt like pure slavery to me.
That’s when I decided to go full time into crypto instead.
During my gap year and final year of Master’s, I locked the fuck in.
Did the bare minimum to get my degree and nothing more.
Most people in my master thought I was a fucking loser.
A few years later, some of the same classmates chasing investment banking came back asking me for angel checks for their new startups.
Or you can party every Thursday and Saturday. Travel the world in your 20s (couple trips a year) while working from your laptop
Miss none of life. Work like a dog (like anyone) and get to $25M+
Yeah you aren't a billionaire but who cares.
Dudes really act like its hard to build something on the side at a W-2 white collar fake job. About 20 hours a week is spent doing nothing. Even coinbase was created on off hours after work
No excuses really, just wasting time on instagram, youtube etc.
People think if they desperately want to get rich they will. Lady Luck doesn't like desperation
The personality trait we've noticed is absolute HATRED of being told what to do. This is why a top corporate employee *rarely* ever becomes a business owner. Should be a bad employee
वेदों का दूसरा गुप्त रहस्य , सुबह उठते ही प्रथम कार्य ये करेंगे तो 24 घंटों में आपको इसकी सफलता अवश्य प्राप्त होगी ।
सुबह उठते ही अगर आप ये एक काम कर लें तो 24 घंटे में असर दिखना शुरू हो जाता है। ये कोई जादू नहीं बल्कि आपके दिमाग और शरीर की प्राकृतिक प्रक्रिया को सही तरीके से इस्तेमाल करने का विज्ञान है।
Hard work in corporate is a psyop. People think that staring at a screen doing nothing for 4 hours is somehow production (face time)
In the real world, it's a bunch of sprint, rest, sprint.
Applies to building a biz, meeting people, basically everything important in life
There are two types of people who don’t make a lot of money and it’s obvious to tell with a 15-30min chat
1. People who will eventually make it, it’s just a matter of time
- little-to-no excuses, accountable
- great work ethic, doesn’t complain about how many “hours” work takes
- looking for challenges, doesn’t want an easy life
- working on their craft whatever that maybe, 1% better each day
2. Everyone else
