With Spring Break coming up, we asked 92 students at Texas Sports Academy: “Would you rather go to school or go on vacation?” Exactly 50% said they’d rather go to school. 🔥 The goal is to get that to 75% by the end of the school year. Full survey results:

Well, that escalated quickly. Number no go up no more. Digital gold they said. Store of value they said. Medium of exchange they said. So much for the stock to flow model. It always about narrative and momentum. You were warned. Have fun getting poor. $BTC #Bitcoin


Chamath: Work-life balance is the worst thing happened to young people. "The first and most important thing is you have to be on Broadway." "If you're into politics, you need to be in Washington D.C. If you want to be in finance, you need to get to New York or London. If you want to be in crypto, you probably need to be in Abu Dhabi. If you want to be in tech, you just need to be in Silicon Valley." "There is no shortcut for any of these decisions. You have to be where the fish are." "The number of young people I encounter who talk about all of these idiotic things like work-life balance. I don't even understand what that means." Remote work is convenient. Being where it happens is how you win. video: @chamath

Cardiology Has an LDL Obsession. What to Measure Instead... 🔗New video: youtu.be/-aX3-QXLzoA 👇1 min clip on LDL vs Insulin Resistance The landscape of atherosclerosis is changing. New drugs are lowering LDL, total cholesterol and ApoB lower and lower, while larger risk factors like insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes persist. If you want a comparison, lipoprotein insulin resistance score (LP-IR). Because 1.0 is risk neutral, insulin resistance score is a more than 14X more powerful predictor of new coronary heart disease than LDL. But we know who gets all the attention. Answer: [See Clip] That’s not proportional medicine Do you agree? For more nuances see the video linked above. cc @BenBikmanPhD @realDaveFeldman

Health care costs and premiums are out of control. I switched from traditional health insurance to CrowdHealth years ago and it’s saved me tens of thousands of dollars. We're hosting a live webinar on how it works + who it’s best for on January 20th. Bookmark and join us! Link in thread.



Unless you serve primarily Medicare/Medicaid patients and your hospital loses money on every single admission. We charge whatever we want, doesn’t mean we’ll actually get anything. Our safety net hospital is fighting to keep its doors open because others take advantage.
