Joe Rogan is worth hundreds of millions… but he’s still buying reading glasses off Amazon?
Surprised he’s not getting a proper eye exam and prescription lenses.
That said, it’s great he’s using red light therapy — I’m a believer. Wish we had more solid data though. My 83-year-old mom is dealing with macular degeneration, getting eyeball injections, and losing her vision. Hoping this stuff proves out.

Disagree with @AndyStumpf77 here — when you build real discipline, those micro-decisions do become reflex.
The harder choice gets wired in so deep it stops feeling like 'will' and starts feeling automatic. That's the point of compounding micro-discipline: it rewires your defaults.
Not by conscious force forever, but by ingrained habit.

My dad’s best advice? Never let your car's gas tank drop below half full.

Turns out, that’s a masterclass in life strategy. Always keep something in reserve for the unexpected—whether it's hitting a patch of extreme stress or handling sudden opportunities.

If you're running on empty, you have zero control when life throws a curveball. Keep that baseline, protect your energy, and never give up.

@astrooalert Where's the beef?

@Rainmaker1973 @grok I've been cutting my own hair since Covid hit back in 2020. Where do you imagine my loyalty lies.

@hubermanlab Funny how we'll openly admit to being fiercely competitive, yet we treat envy like a classified government secret.

Total signal failures at multiple busy Scarborough intersections yesterday left drivers stranded in a survival-of-the-fittest 4-way stop lottery. 🛑

@cityoftoronto @311Toronto — what is the actual emergency plan for road safety when suburban lights go dark for hours?

@BradMBradford — we need common-sense leadership that uses city resources effectively. The Traffic Agent program should have a rapid-response protocol for emergency blackouts moving forward so suburban drivers aren’t left stranded. ⚡️🚗

My Protocol: 4 Beers Over the Weekend The updated 2026 human OS reset — four carefully timed beers spread across Friday & Saturday. Fermented hops, ancient yeast, zero chewing, smooth GABA delivery with built-in recovery windows. We call it the Pale Ale Protocol: borrow calm across the weekend, pay the cortisol tax by Monday (if at all). Still more natural, cheaper, and ancestrally aligned than a $400 peptide subscription. Who’s running it with me?

@Rainmaker1973 Well...no more bacon for me..

@brianlilley It's an hour trip from Toronto to Toronto.

@SahilBloom Took me 40+ years to wake up to that damn negative feedback loop. It's always there, ready to spiral. Now I catch it, flip the script, and tell it to "F" right off.

Respect, Arnold. From a guy in his mid-50s who’s been training for 30+ years, I’d love to see a deep dive on your current training, sleep, and supplement stack.

Still crushing it at nearly 79—legendary.

@hubermanlab — any chance we can get Arnold on the pod? That’s the longevity masterclass the world needs.

[Johnche @UpstreamThinker]

@hubermanlab 2026 version: 2 beers on a Friday night. It’s the modern hunter-gatherer ritual — fermented hops, ancient yeast, zero chewing, instant GABA hit. Call it the Pale Ale Protocol: borrow calm now, pay the cortisol tax later. Still more natural than $400 peptides. Who’s in?

2025 commute audiobooks: 53 books 📚
Been doing this since 2014 — roughly 1 book per week = ~600+ books over 12 years.
Turning dead commute time into growth time is one of the best habits I’ve built.
