Most people aren’t tired.
They’re overfed, undertrained,
overstimulated & addicted to negativity.
Junk food.
Junk content.
Junk conversations.
Then they wonder why life feels heavy.
Stop consuming trash.
Start protecting your peace.
In 1975 a Seattle gut doctor publishes a book arguing that human beings are carnivores built along the lines of a dog.
He could not possibly have chosen a worse year to say it.
His name is Walter Voegtlin, a gastroenterologist by trade, and his book is called The Stone Age Diet. Its central argument is anatomical, and to the profession of the day it is rank heresy.
The human digestive tract, Voegtlin argues, is short and simple, built far more like a meat-eater's than a plant-eater's, closer in its basic design to the gut of a dog than to the long fermenting apparatus of a cow.
From this he draws his conclusion. That we are adapted, by two million years of hunting, to a diet of meat and fat, and not to the mountain of grain that settled agriculture dropped on the species a mere ten thousand years ago.
He claimed, from his own clinic, that the meat-heavy regimen cleared up exactly the complaints his patients came to him with, the irritable colon and the chronic digestive misery, by removing the fermenting plant matter he believed was causing them.
He was, in effect, laying the foundation stone of the whole edifice that a later generation would market as paleo. And he was laying it years before anyone made the idea fashionable or profitable.
And he published it, of all the years available to him, in 1975.
Straight into the teeth of the exact moment the United States government was preparing to swing the entire nation the other way, toward the low-fat, grain-forward advice that would define nutrition for the rest of the century.
His book limped out on a vanity press that made him pay for his own printing. It was barely distributed. It appeared only months before he died. And it sank without a ripple while the official machine thundered past in the opposite direction.
The anatomical argument at its heart kept resurfacing anyway, decade after decade, no matter how firmly it was pushed back under.
A doctor argued, from the plain shape of the human intestine, that we were built to eat meat.
He committed it to print in the one single year the establishment had decided, with total and lasting confidence, that we were built instead to eat wheat.

ELON MUSK: The Sun Could Power a Million Earth Economies.
"We're really tiny.. when you see the true size of Earth relative to the sun, we're a tiny dust mote in a vast darkness, and the sun is enormous.
The sun is 99.8% of all mass in the solar system, and most of the remaining 0.2% is Jupiter. These things are kind of important, because people still don't wonder what's the future of energy generation, and I can say that it is absolutely solar power, or maybe a better word for solar power is star power, it's the power of a star, and the crazy thing is that if you burnt all mass in the solar system that was not the sun, the amount of energy produced by the sun would still round up to 100% because the sun is 99.8% of the mass of the solar system, even if you teleported two more Jupiters from another, somehow teleported two more Jupiters from another solar system, and burnt them too, the sun would round up to 100% If so, it's very much the sun, and you can like, so you could scale to a million times Earth's economy in space in terms of harness power, which is a good proxy for economic output, and still be much less than the length of the sun's energy, which is humbling, really, to think about how tiny we are, and this is just one star among many."
ELON MUSK: The Future of Energy Is Beyond Earth.
"It's increasingly difficult to build power plants on the ground. There are very few people who want a power plant in their backyard, so if we wanted to say double the electricity usage of the United States, which is on average about 500 gigawatts, we would have to build, about twice as many power plants, which I don't think people are, well, most communities are not super excited about that, but actually, if we go to space, we can go far beyond the electricity generation of Earth.
In fact, this is going to sound kind of crazy, but you could actually increase harnessed energy by a factor of a million and still be using much less than a millionth of the sun's energy, so current human civilization uses much less than a trillionth of the sun's energy output, which is kind of humbling to think about."
Neuralink is prepping to test its first Blindsight implant later this year.
A lot of people hear "vision restoration" and assume it's about fixing damaged eyes.
That's not the plan.
The plan is to send visual information directly to the visual cortex of the brain.
Even if the eyes are gone.
Even if the optic nerve is gone.
That's a very different and very interesting conversation.

BREAKING:
Elon Musk just said what nobody in Washington wants to hear.
"The government is basically unfixable."
"If AI and robots don't solve our national debt. We're toast."
$39,000,000,000,000 in national debt.
Adding trillions every year.
The man who built Tesla. SpaceX.
And tried to fix the government himself.
Just admitted it can't be fixed by humans.
Only two things can save America now.
AI and robots. Or bankruptcy.
There is no third option.
New research suggests that there’s a sleep “sweet spot” between 6.4 and 7.8 hours a night.
In a new study, people who hit that amount had better functioning of the immune system as well as other organs, when measured on the molecular level. https://t.co/wyUeHw3h73
Karol G accepts the International Artist Award of Excellence at the #AMAs: "I am just happy that I can perform a song and I can say things in my song that become a voice for a lot of people, a healing and safe place."
(via CBS)
Maluma on “bringing some Colombian flavor” to the #AMAs:
“I remember a couple years ago it wasn’t like this. There are more Latinos in the industry now, so it feels great to be a part of the whole movement.”
🚨 SCIENTISTS MAY HAVE FOUND A WAY TO REPAIR DAMAGED JOINTS WITHOUT SURGERY
A new gel developed by German researchers could help joints heal naturally by rebuilding damaged cartilage inside the body. Early tests show patients experienced less pain and better movement after treatment.
Experts believe this breakthrough may offer a safer, non-invasive option for people suffering from arthritis and joint damage, reducing the need for surgeries and long-term pain medication.
While larger trials are still needed, the early results are giving millions new hope for the future of joint healing.

Mark Zuckerberg says Apple's lack of innovation since the iPhone will lead to its decline
"They haven't really invented anything great in a while. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're kind of sitting on it 20 years later"
"Year over year, I'm not even sure they're selling more iPhones at this point. Part of it is that each generation doesn't actually get that much better, so people are taking longer to upgrade"
"They built stuff like AirPods, which are cool, but they've thoroughly hamstrung the ability for anyone else to build something that can connect to the iPhone"
"I'm pretty optimistic that because they've been so off their game in terms of not really releasing many innovative things... eventually they'll get beat by someone"
Alejandro Marcovich, músico conocido por su paso por la banda mexicana de rock Caifanes, se encuentra en terapia intensiva en estado de coma y con pronóstico reservado luego de que sufriera un derrame cerebral el pasado 19 de mayo.
