i've talked to a phd crystallographer and he was pretty candid and humble in admitting the limits of our knowledge.

some crystals apparently start forming everywhere at a much higher rate once one lab has grown them. apparently this is an unsolved mystery. the prevailing theory is that it's the effect of contamination and seeding. but afaik this has not been rigorously empirically proven as the cause. the alternate and currently fringe theory is that this is possibly pointing to non-local effects.

George Santos might be the first person in history to get caught insider trading on himself.

And the craziest part is the crime everyone's accusing him of might be the wrong one.

can confirm as a medium jacked human that 20 min a day in the gym/working out is enough for most.

20-40 pull-ups (sets of 10)
90 push ups (sets of 30)
10 pistol squats each leg
40 deep squats
20 walking lunges
30 standing jumps

...is a super simple regimen and very effective. Most should have time in the day for this.

what did I leave out?

The music industry knows exactly which frequencies hijack your brain.

They use them in every hit song.

Each sound frequency (Hz = vibrations per second) triggers a different emotional response as you listen.

A reminder that Boswell's "Life of Johnson" is one of the most unexpectedly enjoyable biographies ever written. Two guys in London in the late 18th century discussing everything and anything, calling each other "Sir," and living scenes of moving poignancy. It was 800 pages and I wished for 800 more.

RICH PERSON IDENTITY HACK: create a fake recurring calendar event called “Board Meeting with Me.” Once a week. Same time. Dress up a little. Bring your laptop, your Bible, your numbers, your goals. Review your income, spending, content, standards, and energy like you run a company... because you do. Your subconscious starts taking your wealth seriously when you do.

You must by all means get addicted to positive thoughts about your life. Ceilings don't exist. Be everything you want.

If you want to improve your life, you should IMMEDIATELY STOP wasting your time by doomscrolling. Use your phone with crystal clear intentions. Are you bored? Have an adventurous life. Do stuff. And collect memories. Your time is ticking.
