Crazy take from Claude

Across multiple large trials at different dosages, exogenous Vitamin D shows ZERO benefit for reducing all cause mortality

That’s all you need to know that hyper-reductionist gimmicks like a Vitamin D pill should never be lumped into the same category of circadian aligned UV-B exposure from the full spectrum

Your body is unfathomably sophisticated

Vitamin D is a seasonal circadian hormone with 20+ different metabolites, and other byproducts, that is way too complex for the games of Western scientific reductionism

Your smartwatch is making you sick.

It emits Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and cellular radiation directly into your body.

No health metric it gives you is worth that trade.

An obscure academic wrote a book in 2004 about how dual income households are a scam & the vast majority of women simply aren't economically productive enough to justify outsourcing childcare, even in dystopian government warehouses

Officially 1 month since I switched to a flip phone.

- Everyone is more severely addicted to their smartphones than I thought. Once you have a dumbphone, you'll frequently find yourself as the only person in the room not on their phone. It's not just teenagers, it's parents and adults of all ages. It's like everyone is stuck in a trance. 75+ year olds might be the only exception.

- All the objections I previously had for getting a dumbphone have turned out to be overblown and/or solvable. My iPhone addiction had fed my brain excuses to not do this earlier. If you really want to make the switch, you can.

- I've felt embarrassed to pull out my flip phone in public at times, for fear of being different or drawing too much attention to myself. But I have learned to just own up to it. Most people end up saying something like "Oh, I probably should do that too."

- I am using my brain more. Even though my flip phone has Waze, I find myself memorizing maps and roads. I'm more bored and get lost in my thoughts. I'm using paper and pen more. Increased desire for tangible things > digital things.

Overall, it has been a great experience and I plan on never going back.

I genuinely think a lot of millennials are reaching the same conclusion at the same time.

We grew up watching technology make life better every year. Cell phones. iPods. Smartphones. An app for everything. It felt like the future was arriving right in front of us, and we couldn’t wait for what came next.

Then somewhere along the way, it changed.

Everything became a subscription. Social media became algorithms. Every day feels like another once-in-a-lifetime event. The things that were supposed to save us time somehow ended up demanding more of our attention than ever.

We were sold convenience.

What we got was a world that feels faster, louder, more expensive, and somehow less human.

And that’s why so many people I know dream about a completely different life now. Not more technology. Not more optimization.

Just a quiet job, a flip phone, a small town, and a place where life feels real again.

Hot take: @charlieputh’s best songs were all the singles he scrapped back in 2019.

The suburbs are where energetic young men go to fade into obscurity. I have watched it happen dozens of times.

A man with real potential and momentum signs a mortgage in a development 10 minutes from every strip mall and chain restaurant, and inside of 5 years you cannot find the man who was there before.

The environment shapes you more than you shape it. Most people have this twisted backwards. They believe their character is fixed and the environment is simply the setting. It is the exact opposite. The setting is actively producing the character every day.

Live in the thick of the action or get completely away from it all. Both are environments that demand something from you. The middle zone asks nothing and that is exactly what it produces.

WE OVERTHINK EVERYTHING.

SHUT UP AND DO STUFF.

THROW ALL SCREENS AWAY.

THEN DO MORE STUFF BAREFOOT.

DO SOME STUFF WHILE LISTENING TO THE BIRDS SING.

DO SOME STUFF WHILE GIVING THANKS TO GOD.

THIS IS THE WAY.
