men, 2026 is the time to get our shit together. the modern world has made human slop of us. fertility rates are down 62%. metabolic disease afflicts 35%. obesity has hit 40%.  63% are not having sex weekly. testosterone is dropping 1% every year. 42% over forty have erectile dysfunction. sexlessness has doubled to 24%. enough. fucking enough. reject fast food, junk food, vaping, gambling, porn, nicotine, sleep deprivation, phone addiction, and excessive scrolling. these are your enemies. this is dopamine extraction. they are mining you for profit and leaving you weak and miserable. they are predators and you are their prey. no, not just this once. no, not in moderation. no, it’s not living life. it’s suicidal and deranged behavior. sleep. get jacked. eat well. set limits. be consistent. build the schedule. put on autopilot. don’t let your mind rationalize. replace inner weakness with systems strength. don’t listen to other people’s criticisms. they’re projecting their own stuff onto you. straighten up. let it roll off of you.  be great. be unabashedily you. maintain friendships with those who make you better. who inspires you to be your best self. do not continue to hang out with people who encourage debauchery. maintain good posture. stand tall. get up from your desk and walk around, stretch, do light exercises. do these things to reclaim your self respect. be a sovereign person. do not be owned by evil companies or influence. do not listen to the critics. build your life systems. make them habits. don’t let yourself talk you out of it. as you gain strength, it will require less energy to maintain.

I woke up at 1:27 PM today. I checked my phone. I had missed a 1:00 PM meeting with the CIO. My Slack status had been set to "Away" for nine hours. He sent a message: "We're waiting on the call. Where are you?" I didn't panic. I didn't apologize. I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes and typed: "Sorry! I was up until 4:30 AM manually re-indexing the SQL fragmentations. The automated script failed and I didn't want to risk data corruption during business hours." (I was actually up until 4:30 AM watching a 4-hour YouTube documentary about airplanes). His reply came in 10 seconds: "Wow. Thank you for catching that. Please, get some rest. We can reschedule." The Lesson: Management doesn't know what we do. If you use words like "fragmentation" and "corruption," they won't fire you. They’ll thank you for your sacrifice. Incompetence looks exactly like martyrdom if your vocabulary is technical enough. I’m going back to bed.

I’m actually really embarrassed and humiliated I threw away several years of my life because of fear and also probably depression but What can you do

Arnold Schwarzenegger on his love life: "A conflict grew up in our relationship. She was a well-balanced woman who wanted an ordinary life, and I was not a well-balanced man and hated the very idea of ordinary life. She thought I would settle down, that I would reach the top in my field and level off. But that's a concept that has no place in my thinking. For me, life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. I wanted to grow. I wanted to continue on. The life she wanted would not permit that." — From episode 309 “Arnold Schwarzenegger Before He Was Successful”

this video has kinda convinced me to start randomly recording myself and collecting the videos on a flash drive to try to see if i can read the emotions in my eyes when i’m older

The Goo Goo Dolls perform “Iris” for NPR Tiny Desk concert series.

Bill Ackman just embraced his now-viral dating advice and turned it into a warning about the future of humanity. The CEO of Pershing Square says he loves that “May I meet you?” has entered the cultural zeitgeist, because it exposes something darker: young people are too online, starving for real connection, and it’s fueling global population decline. @BillAckman: “Well, look I’m very happy about it, I’m happy about it because you know we have a generation of people that are sitting at home on Twitter…and, you know looking at people, living sort of fake lives.” “And the reality is human interaction is just critically important. You look at things like population decline that you were experiencing globally, and I think you can go back to social media a primary.” “The younger generation are not having relationships, they’re not having enough sex, they’re not getting married, they’re not moving in together.” “That’s the death knell for the globe and also just happiness.” “You have a lot of people wandering, I would say lonely, that would love for someone to come up to them and introduce themselves.” “And I think this, it just shows that the virality of this ‘may I meet you?’” “And by the way, it really did work.”

Unsuccessful people dramatically underestimate the insane grit and determination required for success. Staying in shape, running a successful business, whatever... It takes day-in, day-out grit. See someone doing it all, and I guarantee they're a beast. Saban put it best…
