People get pissed. When I say this, I have a lot of wealthy friends and I also have a lot of broke friends. Broke, friends often spend time watching a lot of sports, Netflix scrolling a lot, complaining a lot, consuming a lot of news, wealthy friends spend time working out, working on their business, working on their relationships, spending time with their families, their kids. I find that my wealthy friends only consume news that's relevant to their industry or the thing that they're passionate about. Broke friends consume news from every disaster ever, even if it's not relevant to them, everything going wrong and are really in that echo chamber of going wrong. Wealthy friends, they talk about their self development, concept of living and life. My broke friends talk a lot more about politics. My wealthy friends are very much in a victor. I am responsible for everything mentality. My broke friends are often really stuck in the victim mentality. It's a super interesting dichotomy. Another thing is I think a lot of broke people will talk about the past and a lot of wealthy people talk about the future.

sprinting for 8 seconds to boost growth hormone sounds like a shortcut that can't possibly work

until you read the research showing that 8 second sprint intervals increased growth hormone by 530% in a single session. then it sounds like the most time efficient hormone hack in existence

the study tested repeated 8-second sprints on a stationary bike with 12-second rest periods. 20 minutes total. growth hormone increased by 530% from baseline. the effect lasted for hours after the session ended. not a small bump. a 5x surge from 20 minutes of effort

the mechanism is fast-twitch muscle fiber recruitment. sprinting activates type II muscle fibers that jogging never touches. these fibers signal the pituitary gland to release growth hormone in proportion to the intensity of the contraction. higher intensity equals more signal equals more GH. jogging for an hour produces a fraction of the GH response that 20 minutes of sprints produces

- growth hormone mobilizes fat from storage, preserves muscle during caloric deficit, repairs tissue, and maintains youthful skin and connective tissue. the 530% increase from sprinting provides all of these benefits in a single 20-minute session
- testosterone also increases significantly from sprint protocols. the combination of GH and testosterone surging simultaneously creates the most anabolic hormonal environment your body can naturally produce
- sprinting burns more calories per minute than any other exercise. the afterburn (EPOC) from sprint intervals keeps metabolism elevated for 24-48 hours. jogging EPOC returns to baseline within 1-2 hours
- insulin sensitivity improves more from sprint training than from steady-state cardio. the glucose uptake effect of intense muscle contraction is immediate and dramatic
- sprint protocols take 20 minutes including warmup and cooldown. 3 sessions per week. 60 minutes total. producing better hormonal, cardiovascular, and body composition results than 5+ hours of weekly jogging
- you don't need a track. a stationary bike, a hill, a set of stairs, or even sprinting in place works. the stimulus is intensity not location

the fitness industry sells hour-long cardio sessions because they fill gym schedules and justify monthly memberships. 20 minutes of sprints 3x per week produces superior hormonal and body composition results for free. the research was published. the gyms didn't update their programming

POV: you start doing reverse planks every day, and now your pelvic tilt is finally going away, your stomach looks flatter and you finally feel what targeting your deep core feels like too...

I’ve never seen nostalgia articulated so well in-

1) a picture, and
2) the first comment.

The switch from soft orange light to pure white really did strip emotion out of a lot of our reality.

[West Lord @MyWestLord]

Bill Gates went on Letterman in 1995 to explain the internet and the whole room laughed at him.

He was 40 years old, worth $15 billion, the richest man alive.

Dave asked what the internet actually was.

Gates said people publish there, send electronic mail, find others who share their interests.

Dave called it the troubled loner chat room and the crowd roared.

Gates said you could hear a baseball game on your computer whenever you wanted.

Dave asked if radio rang a bell, then if tape recorders rang a bell.

More laughter while Gates just smiled and waited.

He had spent 20 years building toward 1 sentence a computer on every desk and in every home and he was already living in a 50,000 square foot house with screens on every wall pulling up any painting on command.

The audience heard a rich weirdo describing 2026.

Near the end Dave asked if there was another level coming, something nobody had imagined yet.

Gates went quiet, then said maybe someday computers could think, but it was a very tough problem with almost no progress, and some believed it would never happen.

Dave grinned we don’t want them to think, do we.

That was the only thing Gates got wrong that night.

30 years later every joke in that clip runs your life.

The internet won, baseball streams, and the computers think.

They were called Lean Pockets and they tasted like Hot Pockets and they were still bad for you but they had the word "lean" in their name, which made them healthy at the time.

tired? youre actually full of energy
depressed? nah, life is magical, youre full of joy
weak? youre strong and powerful

Things I do no matter what:

• Get outside within 30-60 minutes of waking up
• Drink water before coffee
• Add minerals or electrolytes to my water
• Eat at least 30-50g of protein with breakfast
• Strength train or move my body every day
• Walk after meals whenever I can
• Hit 10,000+ steps
• Spend time outdoors, even if it's just 20 minutes
• Choose whole foods over ultra-processed foods most of the time
• Prioritize healthy fats and quality protein at every meal
• Take a few minutes to breathe, reset, or pray
• Stop eating 2-3 hours before bed
• Dim the lights at night
• Avoid my phone right before bed
• Get 7-9 hours of sleep

How many of these do you do??

The LARGEST sunscreen-skin cancer study in HISTORY (n=470,000) found sunscreen users are FAR MORE likely to develop EVERY major form of skin cancer.

INVASIVE MELANOMA: 📈 +292%
MELANOMA IN SITU: 📈 +258%
BASAL CELL CARCINOMA: 📈 +140%
SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA: 📈 +126%

27% of sunscreens are laced with BENZENE, a known carcinogen.

Benzene was detected in products from major brands including Neutrogena, Banana Boat, Sun Bum, CVS Health, EltaMD, Raw Elements, TopCare Everyday, Goodsense, SunBurnt, and Fruit of the Earth.
