@FitFounder Those first 3 have been gamechangers for me as well. Need to try the salt before bed!

Would something like LMNT work for that? Or would you just recommend normal salt?

Also any data behind the 15g of creatine vs 5g normally recommended?

@bryan_johnson Macros per meal?

@hubermanlab While I don’t use stimulants I’ve found a bunch of other products/ supplements in conjunction w/ caffeine for boosting mental energy/focus. Wondering if you might get into any of these:
- @hvmn ketone iq & other similar products
- acetyl l carnitine

@visegrad24 Is anyone going to protest this?

[Shaun Maguire @shaunmmaguire]

Being in Israel, I’ve been hearing crazy stories

One is that @amazon has an employee, Sasha Troufanov, who was kidnapped by Hamas along with his entire family

Amazon’s top leadership is aware but has declined a public statement as it’s “too controversial”

This is sheer sophistry. Muslims came from Arabia in the 7th century to invade, conquer, and colonize virtually the whole Middle East. Today, as a result, there are 55 Muslim nations and 21 Arab countries — not one of which the left seeks to decolonize.

As for historic Palestine, 77% of the territory has been a Muslim Arab country devoid of Jews — (Trans)Jordan — since 1921. Israel is the one modest sliver of land ruled by its indigenous people, the Jews, who had been living there for centuries before the Muslim Arabs showed up.

The left doesn't care about "decolonizing" Palestine or anywhere else in the Middle East. If it did, it would be marching in the streets and demonstrating on campuses to restore Kurdistan to the Kurds, Morocco & Algeria to the Berbers, and Egypt to the Copts. No — the only left-wing priority in the region is to strip Jewish sovereignty from the only bit of territory where Jews have ever been sovereign.

Jew-hatred always finds a larger cause to latch onto. In medieval times, antisemites used Christianity as a pretext. In the 20th century, they dressed up their bigotry as racial hygiene. Today their hatred of Jews masquerades as decolonization. In the end it always comes to the same thing: Jews cannot live on the same terms as other people. There is only one Jewish country on earth, but for the likes of Malcolm Harris and his left-wing friends, that is one Jewish country too many.

@shaunmmaguire Why isn’t anyone talking or protesting about this? Isn’t this #genocide?

[jon.shoosh @ShooshJon]

@shaunmmaguire What an idiot

[Harris Sultan @TheHarrisSultan]

My dad, who is a moderate Muslim, finally expressed his concern and asked me, 'Why are you supporting this genocide?'

He mentioned that he's stopped looking at his phone because he can no longer bear to watch videos of Palestinian children being bombed by Israel.

I replied, 'I empathize with the suffering, and it's not easy for me either.'

Then I showed him a photo, and we both agreed on the gravity of the situation in Palestine.

I then informed him that the photo was actually of a Yemeni child pulled from the rubble resulting from a Saudi bombing in Yemen.

I pointed out that Israel has allegedly killed 7,000 Palestinians, while the Saudis have killed at least 150,000 Yemeni Muslims. Some estimates suggest upto 300,000.

How can we call the current conflict a 'genocide' when what the Saudis did is hardly even discussed by Muslims? Don’t get me started on 200,000 Muslims killed by Bashar Al Asad in Syria.

He responded that if that's the case, he also disagrees with what the Saudis did. I replied, 'How convenient. Nearly half a MILLION fellow Muslims have been killed by other Muslims, and you didn't even know about it. Yet when Israel retaliates against a terrorist organization that has killed, raped, and maimed 1,500 of its citizens, the whole Muslim world reacts?'

It seems to have less to do with preserving Muslim lives and more to do with a religious fantasy of hostility toward Jews.

On doing good v. Feeling good.
(Reflections for Shabbat)

The distinction between actions that make one feel good and those that actually do good is relevant to numerous fields from parenting to governing. I have encountered it most frustratingly when it comes to the conflict and the Palestinians.

Too many western policy makers claim to want to do good, but in reality they just want to feel good. The reason is that doing good would require them to do and say a lot of things that do not feel good at all.

Examples:

Feeling good: Continuously supplying Hamas as it engages in total war and calling it “humanitarian aid”.
Doing good: Making it clear there is no such thing as supplying anything into Gaza that does not immediately reach Hamas and conditioning all such supplies on Hamas release of all kidnapped hostages and complete disarmament.

Feeling good: Saying that “Hamas does not represent Palestinians”.
Doing good: Acknowledging that Hamas accurately reflects the common Palestinian ethos of “Free Palestine” and “From the River to the Sea” and understanding that the war needs to be waged not just against the trained murderers of Hamas, but against the very ideology that sustains and feeds it.

Feeling good: Calling for a Ceasefire
Doing good: Calling for (1) unconditional release of all kidnapped hostages, (2) complete disarmament of Hamas and all terror armies across Gaza and the West Bank, (3) surrender of all perpetrators of the Shabbat massacres to crimes against humanity tribunals, (4) complete abandonment of “From the River to the Sea” cause.

Feeling good: Giving more than one billion dollars each year to an agency (UNRWA) that sustains Palestinians in their vision that they could still achieve the goals of their 1948 war of there being no state for the Jewish people through the devotion to perpetual inter-generational “refugeehood” and a non existent “right of return”
Doing good: Telling Palestinians that they need to come to terms that they have failed to achieve their goal of preventing and dismantling the Jewish state, that they need to accept that failure, that they are not perpetual “refugees” from a war that ended more than seven decades ago, that they do not possess a “right of return” into the sovereign state of Israel, and that the need to reconstitute themselves as a people with a positive goal of living next to the Jewish state rather than instead of it.

Feeling good: Absolving Palestinians of any notion that they are a people with agency who actually mean what they say and “Westplaining” them so that the “Palestinian cause” appears palatable to the west (fighting occupation/wanting a state/improving living conditions).
Doing good: Listening to what Palestinians have clearly and consistently said and done for over a century and acknowledging that they are indeed serious about their “From the River to the Sea” vision of no state for free and sovereign Jews anywhere in the land, and that nothing less than the complete abandonment of that cause could lead to peace.

There is an old Hebrew saying that those who are kind to the cruel will inevitable find they are cruel to the kind. For too long people who claimed to want to do good were actually just eager to feel good, with their actions not only being self serving to their image of being “good people”, but being deeply harmful to people living here, ensuring that generation after generation the conflict continues.

It is time that we insist that those who genuinely want to do good, who want to achieve real peace, will undertake actions that while not feeling good, actually serve the purpose of doing good.

Shabbat Shalom.

The TikTok War: Why High School & College Kids Are Getting The Wrong Information about Hamas & Israel

I spent the weekend trying to reverse engineer the TikTok algorithm, as I am convinced this is the reason we're losing the information war with high school & college students.
