The good thing about having taste and an eye for what looks good, combined with a set of skills for renovation, is that you can make your modest home nicer than most everywhere else. I’ve done work in some extremely expensive homes and you might be surprised at how ugly some of them are. Even cheap finishes and faux finishes on multi million dollar homes. Having money is great, but you can’t buy good taste.

Days have just begun getting shorter. A few years ago I discovered that there's nothing special about the first of June. There is something special about the twenty first of June. I always want to make summer solstice special. It just passes.

The doctor is right about the physiology. Alcohol causes cellular damage, disrupts sleep quality, and has no nutritional value. John is right about something different. The laughter at 7 beers deep with people you love is real, and dismissing it entirely misses why people drink in the first place. Both things are true. They're just answering different questions.

Benefits of drinking: -hilarious situational laughs that add years to your life -being 7 beers deep in the Sun with your friends realizing you almost forgot the point of life is to have fun with people who make you happy -3 bottles of wine with your wife then smashing all night without a condom (lasting 975% longer) -heartwarming couples dinners hugging goodnight thinking ‘I’m so glad we did this’ -concerts with your girlfriend and friends making lifelong memories favorite songs slapping mythologically -backyard party watching your girlfriend hit it off with your Aunt while your friends and Uncles plan a road trip to a Big 10 football game “Hanging By A Moment” by Lifehouse jamming in the background wanting to freeze time and live this day every day the rest of your life realizing ‘wow life is a miracle I’m so lucky to be alive’

Alcohol has no single benefit. Zero. Not one.

@fadule_ @FirstDoctor is just making a bold one-dimensional claim to polarize the audience and I am happy to partake in the the polarization.

@bryan_johnson That's like saying "build a society around power plants". Energy is essential for society, but a society isn't built around energy, it's built on energy around a purpose, which is greater than mere sustainable livelihood. We aren't animals or machines.

I promise you that if you build your life around sleep, everything you care about will get better. High quality sleep is like a daily dose of the world’s best longevity drug. Sleep is key for... + will power + self control + sex + mood + recovery + focus + appearance + work + life My sleep data last night + 4+ hr restorative + 53% total sleep restorative + resting heart rate 42 (elite athlete) + no sleep stress + no wake events + asleep in 2 min It feels incredible. Gives me the powers of stamina, focus, motivation, discipline and love. For fun, I made a sleep facts nutrition panel. The sleep crash course: 1. Final food 4 hours before bed 2. Screens off 60 min before bed 3. Same bed time every single day 4. Light in eyes in am 5. Exercise daily, even if for 20 min Here’s the key: make these habits non-negotiable in your life. Build your life around sleep and I promise everything you care about will get better.

@themgmtconsult So are you saying that we should live our life based on computing variables, measuring probability and predicting outcomes the way a machine does it?

It will never not seem weird to me that people spend disproportionate effort, sacrificing their mental health and all of their time, to chase "the dream" of becoming the 5% of startups that don't fail (ie, making $0+ profit), but they would not spend the same time and effort to chase the 10% of W2 work that would give them steady, predictable ~millions. There must be something instinctive, almost primordial, definitely irrational in this pursuit, which I can somehow explain but not fully. Then these same people would try and rationalize what's a low probability choice with all sort of convoluted explanations around "freedom" (which is the most laughable because why work 24/7 when you can work a 9-5 😂) or other similar idealistic notions. Of course, the vast majority of them would be so much better off working as employees than entrepreneurs, and yet... It's about preference and personality, I guess, and those two things can definitely change over the course of a lifetime.

Life is sales. Relationships are sales. Everything is sales. If you know how to sell yourself and your ideas, you will win. If you are uncomfortable, afraid, or not very good at articulating your message, you will lose. It's as simple as that.

Classic Learning Test
A child who has never encountered greatness cannot be expected to pursue it. One purpose of education is to place greatness directly in front of young people. The rest follows naturally.

Хочется, чтобы собеседник обладал базовой прозорливостью и умением читать подтекст, хотя бы наиболее жирный шрифт. Забавно, что чем менее человек прозорлив, тем более склонен видеть заговор, где им не пахнет, и, напротив, не чуять неладного там, где изба горит.

@hazhubble One time I tried that staycation thing. To my surprise my hometown felt very different and chill. That's because I wasn't working and treating it the way a foreigner visiting it would.

I'm the type of guy who would never be the one to bring in the most massive mammoth home during the stone age. I'd be the one who would kill one in the most aesthetic way. Perhaps never to be witnessed by anyone but me. And even I wouldn't be the witness. I am the actor.

Wellness has gotten way too complicated; it’s literally as simple as: - pray, read the Word, cultivate a relationship with God - spend more time in nature and then some more & more :) - walk daily (ideally in nature, in silence) - read books - sit on park benches - sunmaxx - spend more time with loved ones - listen to good music - take a bath / a hot shower (everything shower to be reborn) - drink orange juice & eat whole foods (& meat, lots of beef) - sleep 7-8h / night

@mika_brk @______sergei @mtuflani @PromptLLM Some people work on computers up to 16 hours a day. Screen time isn't the issue. The issue is social media which has replaced physical interactions with people and things and breed a generation of people who are very vocal online but incoherent in real life.

The best way to cool your big cities is by making them greener. More trees, more grass on rooftops, more natural shade, more parks, it has been proven that this drastically changes inner city temperatures.

@radbackwards The future of housing are embryotic pods. Very affordable! Free even if you accept ads to be constantly funneled to your brain via your state mandated neuro-chip.

We got so far removed from nature we started engineering fake skylights into our homes.
Ritwik Pavan@ritwikpavan

Philips introduced Skylight, a ceiling-mounted LED panel that makes windowless rooms feel like they have a sky-facing window. It uses Signify’s NatureConnect tech to create the depth, brightness, and color shifts of natural daylight. @Philips also follows the sun throughout the day, moving from cool morning light to warmer evening tones.

@RemyLevin That's the same thing I preach. Especially to language learners. Adults have a huge advantage, which is abstract thinking. If they (we) can employ it correctly and avoid falling into our habitual thinking loops using will, they (we) learn faster than children do

I firmly believe that human brains are extremely malleable at every life stage. The vast majority of the observed high capacity of children to learn is that they (1) have all the time in the world to do so, (2) don’t feel shame about not knowing, and (3) have less pre-existing knowledge to “fit” with new information. As an adult, (1) is (partially) attainable if you want it enough (and is the great benefit of being an active academic); (2) can be trained emotionally; and (3) is counterbalanced by getting better at having a complex world view over time.

One of Heckman’s more influential findings is that the returns to education investment are highest in early childhood, and by high school the window has largely closed. A randomized trial of intensive math tutoring for Chicago 9th and 10th graders challenges that.
