Claude and I have been working on an app to help with task management and decision fatigue in the household. Staring to wonder if I’m thinking at the wrong level though- why not just let Claude run things itself?
Me 5 minutes after meeting somebody new: it's of utmost importance for you to
- open a broker account and buy Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF (USD) Accumulating (VUAA), and
- take 10g creatine per day yes 5g was the previous recommendation but after 5g the benefits are cognitive and in studies it delays Alzheimer
- start lifting weights 3-4 times per week, strength training avoids guaranteed age-related muscle atrophy and bone density loss, no running is not enough, you need both strength training and cardio, get a personal trainer to check your form
- build a business or SaaS so you can escape the system of employee servitude which is generally built to exploit you, the only way to get really rich is own your own business and the earlier you start the sooner you'll succeed because it takes years to understand how to do a business so better start now
- as a guy you probably have low testosterone, it's an epidemic due to our processed food and soil depletion due to intense farming, you don't realize this is completely affecting your identity and behavior as a man, and in turn your relationships with women, and as a woman similarly your hormones are imbalanced too
- fix your hormones to how they should be (like they were 100 years ago) by working out, lifting weights (both for men and women), cardio and a clean diet of whole foods (meat, veg, fruit, eggs, water) and no processed food (whatever is made in a factory, eg 90% what's sold in stores)
- get therapy if you need, it's good if it solves things (like cognitive behavioral therapy) but it should always be combined with heavy workouts and a clean diet
- live near your friends because especially for men of middle age (your future) there is a loneliness epidemic, so to avoid this hang out with your friends every week (even if your gf/bf blocks this, override it, it's of utmost important for your mental health)
That's it for now 😊
This is probably my favorite graph
If you look at the complexity of genomes on Earth over time, there's a linear relationship between genomic complexity & when it shows up in fossils
Yet if you go back it implies Earth did not start life from scratch, e.g. an asteroid seeded it
Long-term procrastination is a tragedy of the commons. Monday You, Tuesday You, Wednesday You, and so on, all abuse "the commons" of your life—time & energy. As the weeks months and years pass, the accumulation of short-term self-interest yields a tragedy for all versions of you.
@jacksondahl Crowdsourced “Politeness Rank” linked to everyone’s wallet. The high scorers get free drinks and special lounge access too. Totally not a problematic kind of social credit score or anything
@rationalwalk Why not trust his stewardship? His track record seems impressive enough. Plus, when I’m feeling conspiratorial I like to imagine the antics are a lot more calculated than they seem
