On this first night of Hanukkah, rather than joyously celebrating the festival of lights, we are tragically reminded that antisemitic violence is still present in our world. My prayers are with the victims and families in Sydney. May the memories of the Maccabees’ triumph and the Hanukkah miracle bring comfort and hope. 🕎
The amount of teams/coaches still making college athletes wake up at 6 am (or earlier) to train, lift, & practice is 🤯🤯🤯.
The data are incredibly clear here.
Bad idea.
Actually, if you live in Texas to Tennessee l, you can buy from @costplusdrugs or anywhere and send the receipt to the insurance company and they have to count it against your deductible
Sure would be great if all states did this. Patients could protect themself
@SarahHuckabee@JBPritzker@CAgovernor@JoshShapiroPA
@BMWMotorsport@BMWUSA There is a glitch with the site for booking M Track Days at @COTA. Can someone DM me an email address or direct line for someone who can help secure a spot? No one is manning the designated 844 number.
The martyrdom playbook is manic.
An engine of depression, anxiety, metabolic dysfunction, and disease. It breeds impaired judgment, immune system collapse, and emotional chaos.
People crave status, respect, and visibility so deeply that they will contort themselves into whatever shape culture demands. Even if it takes them to the edge of insanity, wrecks their bodies, and drives them to the brink of collapse.
People feel trapped and tortured in the current social obligation to maintain 100+ hr/wk and be terminally online, all while pretending as if all is well. Everyone else seems to be ok? No, they're not.
This mania is no different from a 19th-century surgeon boasting about high patient volume. Piling bodies onto an assembly line while dismissing hygiene and sterilization as a waste of time.
The discovery of germ theory, leading to simple interventions like handwashing and sterilization, nearly doubled life expectancy and supercharged human productivity. It turns out that hand washing isn't a waste of time but on par with history's greats.
The irony here is the martyrdom archetype is meticulously designing ultra efficient technology, paying down technical debt, eliminating bugs and upgrading constantly, yet ignore their own biological systems of intelligence.
They snub sleep, exercise, and nutrition which downgrades their intelligence, judgment, emotional stability, and the body's basic processes to fight sickness, and repair and build itself.
We perfect technology as we destroy ourselves.
The martyrdom archetype is not just in the world of technology but has infected every corner of culture.
The weird thing, who even wants this? When I talk to others and they let their guard down to be honest, they want it to stop. It's unsustainable. They feel miserable. They rejoice in even minutes of reprieve. A few days without it and they see the complete insanity of it all.
You can be ambitious AF and also prioritize health. These two things are not mutually exclusive. In fact, your greatest competitive advantage may be prioritizing your own biological and cognitive function because it allows for clear headedness and endurance.
This era will soon be seen as primitive and absurd. A time when we foolishly and recklessly spent down the most precious gift of all: our conscious existence.
We are building superintelligence. We'd be wise to build our own individual and collective intelligence with equal vigor. Honoring our existence with the solemnity it deserves.
