I promise you that if you build your life around sleep, everything you care about will get better.

High quality sleep is like a daily dose of the world’s best longevity drug.

Sleep is key for...

+ will power
+ self control
+ sex
+ mood
+ recovery
+ focus
+ appearance
+ work
+ life

My sleep data last night

+ 4+ hr restorative
+ 53% total sleep restorative
+ resting heart rate 42 (elite athlete)
+ no sleep stress
+ no wake events
+ asleep in 2 min

It feels incredible. Gives me the powers of stamina, focus, motivation, discipline and love.

For fun, I made a sleep facts nutrition panel.

The sleep crash course:

1. Final food 4 hours before bed
2. Screens off 60 min before bed
3. Same bed time every single day
4. Light in eyes in am
5. Exercise daily, even if for 20 min

Here’s the key: make these habits non-negotiable in your life.

Build your life around sleep and I promise everything you care about will get better.

Here's a snapshot of the biological insult from international travel. It takes your body over two weeks to fully recover.

It's a big price tag.

One international trip per quarter is a reasonable balance.

Time to recover:
> sleep duration: 2 days
> grip strength: 5 days
> mood: 1 wk
> cortisol: 9 days
> sleep quality: 2 wks
> blood glucose: 2 wks

In April, a website that has been sued, blocked, deplatformed, and chased across thirty-seven domains over fifteen years quietly launched its own AI.

Sci-Hub is the largest unauthorized library of scientific papers in human history. Ninety-five million academic papers. Tens of millions of books. Built and maintained by a single Kazakhstani neuroscientist named Alexandra Elbakyan since 2011, funded by donations, hosted on whatever country's registrar will tolerate it that year, mirrored across torrents and IPFS and Telegram bots.

Elsevier sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. The American Chemical Society sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. India sued. Sci-Hub stayed up. Swedish registrar Njalla cut the .se domain in January. Sci-Hub stayed up at .al, .ru, .ee, .box, and a half-dozen .onion addresses the registrars cannot reach.

Now the library has built its own intelligence.

Sci-Bot launched in alpha in April. You ask it a research question. It answers, and it cites real papers from inside the corpus, with links that actually open the actual papers.

The bot does not hallucinate citations. It cannot, because it only draws from papers it actually holds. The same property that the venture-funded labs have spent four years and forty billion dollars trying to engineer back into their products is a free side effect of training the model on a library that contains the books.

Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, and Meta have all been sued in the past eighteen months for training their models on the same shadow libraries that Sci-Hub assembled. Meanwhile the corpus those scripts were pointed at, the corpus those models were trained on, the corpus the entire generative AI industry is built on, sat right there the whole time, free, with a search box on top.

The pirates beat them to it.

Sci-Bot was built on a corpus that was already free, by a team that asked no permission, charging no one, with the explicit position that the right to read scientific research is older than the cartel that decided to charge for it.

The same arithmetic the medieval guilds used to keep the printing trade in approved hands. The same arithmetic Pope Paul IV used in 1559 to publish the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The same arithmetic the Stationers' Company used in seventeenth-century London.

Knowledge has always had a fence around it. The fence has always been guarded by men who did not write the books.

The library answers. We never asked permission. We never had to.

stop cold emailing ceos who dont know they need you

start scraping companies legally required to give you money

usaspending.(gov) shows every federal contract awarded
filter for contracts over $750k

heres the thing nobody knows
any contract over that threshold requires the prime contractor to subcontract a percentage to small businesses

they literally have to find vendors or lose the contract

search for "staffing" "marketing" "it services" whatever you sell
find the primes who just won
hit the program manager with

"saw you won the [agency] contract - looks like youll need to hit your small business subcontracting goal. we're an sba certified [your service] and can help you stay compliant while actually delivering"

they have budget locked in
theyre legally required to spend it on companies like yours

good news is you dont need certification to be a subcontractor
the prime decides who to work with

but if you want the real set-aside advantages and youre not in the US
find a partner stateside to form the entity and pay your LLC consulting fees on the backend

not legal advice just how the game is played

while everyone fights over saas founders youre tapping into guaranteed government money
