Elon Musk's first wife once described what it's like to watch him fail. She said he doesn't react the way normal people react. When a rocket explodes, most people in the room go silent. Some cry. Some start calculating the financial damage. Musk pulls out his phone and starts making calls. Not emotional calls. Engineering calls. "What failed. When can we fix it. When's the next launch." His voice doesn't change. His face doesn't change. The rocket that just cost $60 million is already in the past. The next one is all that exists. She said it was the most unsettling thing she'd ever witnessed. Not because he was cold. Because he genuinely wasn't affected. The failure didn't register as failure. It registered as data. An experiment that produced results. Results that inform the next experiment. This is why he wins. Not because he doesn't fail. He fails more spectacularly than anyone in history. He wins because failure occupies zero psychological space. It enters as data and exits as action. Most people lose not because they fail but because they spend weeks processing the failure before acting again. Musk spends zero seconds. The gap between failure and next attempt is a phone call. - @multiplanet1

Almost 30 years of natural training (& 2 short anabolic cycles in college that ended badly). Followed by 20 years training naturally. Then a decision just before turning 40 to go all in on building the best physique of my life. Here is everything that got me to 225 lbs and 8.59% body fat at 40: - Testosterone Cypionate - Pr!mobolan - Ma$teron - An@var - W!nstrol (cycled) - Ar!midex and Nolv@dex for estrogen management - HCG throughout - BPC-!57, TB-500, KPV, GHK-Cu for guthealth and recovery - Te$amorelin - AOD-9604 - MOT$-c - 5-Am!no-1MQ Every compound administered under medical supervision with regular bloodwork monitoring. I am not a doctor and I am not prescribing anything to anyone. The compounds accelerate what is already there. They do not build the foundation for you. Train naturally as long as you can.

After 7 months of writing, I finished my essay! I think agency might be the most important idea of the 21st century highagency.com

Elon Musk said five words on Joe Rogan that explain everything wrong with your life right now. Musk: “Happiness is reality minus expectations.” Five words. And it explains why the most comfortable generation in human history can’t stop feeling empty. Musk: “If you just go try living in the woods by yourself for a while, you’ll learn that civilization is quite great.” He’s right. On Naked and Afraid, people tap out in days. Sometimes hours. They crawl back to the same civilization they spent years resenting. Because comfort is invisible until you’re sleeping in the dirt. But the formula has a second variable. It’s the one destroying you. Reality didn’t get worse. By every measure, it’s the best it’s ever been. Expectations did. Your grandparents compared themselves to their neighbor. Maybe a cousin. That was the whole universe. You compare yourself to 10,000 strangers before your first cup of coffee. Curated. Filtered. Showing you a life that doesn’t exist. Theodore Roosevelt said it a century before any of this was built. Roosevelt: “Comparison is the thief of joy.” No Instagram. No TikTok. No algorithm designed by the smartest engineers on the planet to show you precisely what you don’t have. And he still called it. Now run the equation. Reality holds steady. Expectations spike every time you unlock your phone. The distance between them stretches. And happiness doesn’t fade. It collapses. Not because your life got worse. Because your reference point moved. We built the greatest civilization in human history. Then we built the perfect machine to make sure nobody enjoys it. Every scroll. Every notification. Every “suggested for you.” None of it connects you. It’s recalibrating what you think you need. Upward. Constantly. Without your consent. And you wonder why you feel behind. You’re not behind. You’re running toward a finish line that moves every time you look up. The most dangerous lie of this generation isn’t that life is hard. It’s that everyone else figured it out. And you’re the only one who didn’t. Nobody figured it out. The formula doesn’t negotiate. It just runs. Raise expectations faster than reality improves and you will be miserable inside a paradise you built with your own hands. That’s not philosophy. That’s arithmetic. And the calculator is in your pocket right now.

Klay Thompson is a first ballot HOFer with a $100 million+ net worth. The fact that she thinks he’s some kind of representative sample of the modern dating pool is literally the entire problem 🙄

1 out of 3 people are suffering from joint pain at 40. So in this thread I will show you everything I do from training, peptides and supplements to keep my joints at the most functional + painless condition they have ever been (bookmark this): 1. Training

People keep asking how I stay in this shape at 40. So here's the diet protocol I use to keep my body in an elite, healthy, and functional state (while everyone my age gets sicker): 1. I skip breakfast completely.

I trained naturally for almost 30 years before adding anabolics and peptides into my fitness protocols. Here's why I quit being natural & the advice I plan to give my son when he is old enough to hear it: To give you a bit of backstory, I started weightlifting at 13 to gain muscle for football and wrestling, but it quickly became my main athletic focus. Competing in the 16 and under age category at 105kg body weight, I held American records in both the snatch and clean and jerk and in total for a couple of years. Standing at 6 foot 4 I was a head taller than most guys I competed against at a high level. Because the competitive movements are overhead lifts, Olympic weightlifting is a short man's sport. As much as I loved it, I finally decided to take my athletic life in another direction. After quitting Olympic lifting I started training for size, strength, and aesthetics. I wanted to get jacked and look good. I read everything I could find about nutrition, fitness, and supplements, and in college, I worked part-time at GNC where I spent hours studying the science behind all of it. At 20 and 21, I did a cycle of testosterone to get jacked before a spring break trip to the Bahamas. I had studied Anabolics by William Llewellyn beforehand and followed what I learned, cycling off when spring break was over. I also tried what was sold to me as tren but I either got a bad product or responded terribly to it because the weight gain was excessive and the side effects were awful. That is when I swore off anabolics. I stayed completely clean and spent the next two decades training naturally. Beyond the weights, I got into almost all yoga, pilates, kettlebells, TRX, and bootcamps were in heated rooms, boxing, rock climbing, paddleboarding, surfing, trail running, beach sprinting, swimming, hiking, and meditating. Those years built the foundation that everything else would eventually sit on top of. 2 decades of natural training built more than just a physique. My skeletal density is 2.5 standard deviations higher than the mean, meaning my bones are denser than of 99.4% of men. This is due to almost 3 decades of heavy and high intensity weight training. You cannot juice up skeletal density with anabolics or peptides. You cannot fake time under tension. Tendons and ligaments adapt much slower than muscles do. When young men jump on anabolics early, their muscles grow faster than their connective tissue can handle and the injuries that follow can end a training career permanently. My connective tissue had 30 years to strengthen before I ever asked it to support enhanced muscle growth. I had considered using anabolics again throughout my 30s but my testosterone levels were still good so I chose to keep waiting. While I was training naturally and biding my time, I set a goal to turn 40 in the best shape of my life. I have shared the full protocol in previous posts so I won't repeat it here. This post is about something more important… I will tell my son to train naturally until he is within 6 months of turning 40. The only exception would be if he had low testosterone or a hormonal deficiency sooner. Build the bones, the connective tissue, the discipline, and the self-knowledge that only comes from decades of doing the work without anabolics. Based on everything I know today, this is the best advice I could give my son about the proper approach to performance enhanced training. I am open-sourcing everything I've learned across almost 30 years of training, all my looks-maxing and biohacking activities, and all my future experiences with performance enhancing protocols. Follow along if you want the full roadmap. PS. This is not medical advice

A masterclass on selling to rich people (the 6-rule framework behind tens of millions targeting the wealthy):

If there's one show that showcased the alpha and simp dynamic unapologetically it was Two And A Half Men. I'd recommend anyone who has watched it, to try it 1/ Two and a Half Men wasn’t just a sitcom. It was a 12-season case study in male dynamics. Charlie Harper = Alpha. Alan Harper = Simp. The show wrote it into every episode without ever saying it outright. 2/ *Frame control* Charlie set the frame in his own house. His rules, his women, his schedule. Alan moved in after a divorce and even after all that still lived under his ex wife's frame. He asked permission to do basic stuff. That’s simp behavior 101. 3/ *Women & boundaries* Charlie treated women as adults. He dated, he set limits, he walked away when it got messy. No begging, no chasing past the point of disrespect. Alan? Chased, negotiated, got walked over, then came back for more. He outsourced his self-worth to whoever was giving him attention that week. 4/ *Money & value* Charlie made money from his own skill and spent it on his lifestyle. He wasn’t buying affection. Alan on the other hand was a chiropractor who was barely making enough money. But still tried to buy love and validation because he had no other leverage. That’s the definition of transactional simp energy. 5/ *Consequences* When Charlie got cut off or disrespected, he changed the situation. New woman, new rules. When Alan got cut off, he spiraled and begged n begged. One adapts. The other collapses. 6/ *Social proof* Charlie walked into a room and owned it without trying. Women, friends, even strangers orbited him. Alan had to explain why people should like him. That alone tells you which one had real status vs borrowed status. 7/ The show made it funny, but the contrast was real. Alpha = operates from abundance, sets boundaries, doesn’t need validation. Simp = operates from scarcity, seeks approval, gives up leverage for crumbs. 8/ Two and a Half Men lasted so long because that dynamic is everywhere. One guy runs his life. The other lives in someone else’s. Pick which one you want to be.

Underrated life advice: Make yourself easy to root for. Be kind. Be reliable. Celebrate other people’s wins. Work hard without complaining. Carry good energy into rooms. You'll be shocked by how many doors open for you by making life better for others.

Larry Wheels reveals he has separated from his supermodel wife but still pays her bills after being married for 2 years, saying they split because they grew apart. He previously bragged about not having her sign a prenup because he fully trusted her.

Any friend who tries to 'keep you humble' by diminishing your accomplishments should be phased out of your life as quickly as possible Once you feel the urge to self-deprecate for the comfort of those in your surroundings it means you must shrink yourself to relate. Just leave

One of the best skills you can develop is the ability to always stay in a good mood A mentor taught me this. He said “there’s always going to be something that pisses you off or makes you upset. The speed at which you regain control of your ship (emotions) and get back to being happy is a massive competitive advantage in life. You can let it ruin your day, week, month or year. Or, not at all.”

Most adults in their 20s, 30s, and 40s still can’t handle frustration, disappointment, or sadness any better than they could as toddlers — except now the stakes are massively higher. Dr. Becky Kennedy said this on Lewis Howes’ podcast and it hit hard. Real resilience isn’t avoiding tough emotions. It’s getting better at sitting with them. A brain surgeon with 1,000+ operations told Lewis Howes directly: the #1 skill every human needs is emotional regulation. Science backs this — research shows strong emotional regulation is one of the best predictors of long-term mental health, better relationships, and even physical health outcomes. In a world full of distractions and quick escapes, this might be the most important skill we’re not teaching. This one made me pause. I’ve definitely avoided hard feelings more than I’d like to admit. Getting better at sitting with them has quietly improved almost everything. How well do you handle uncomfortable emotions — sit with them or try to escape?

Leaked DMs from a girls chat on how to land an athlete and keep him. Notice anything fimiliar in there?

How "rich" look like when you grow up: - Live 10 mins from work, 5 mins from gym - Quiet neighbors - Money left after bills - Peace at work - Drink coffee calmly - Sleep without worry - Laugh with old friends - Travel monthly - Wake up without alarm - Say "no" when you want
