100% There is no human "they". It is the evil that lurks, waiting to fill the selfish hearts of those not actively choosing the good of the other.

This is the way 💪

@TJ_Bongiorno After not playing for a couple of years, got out the last two weekends for 9 with my daughter. Drove a short par 4 and then my daughter drove it too! Bombing the ball off the tee is such a great high.

Being able to drive a golf ball really far is fuckin sick

If one's professional life becomes their sole purpose for being, they end up being defined and constrained to that context. What happens if their job or industry goes away? Or they make it to retirement, how do they live after? You can still have tremendous purpose in your work but there should be something magnanimous in your life great than your professional output. My friend @Camp4 does a great job talking about this.

@derweb07 I have a lot of thoughts on this but the simplest version is that the professional is required for full self actualization but also mostly a means to the personal

I found a lot of value in thinking this through and writing it down

Friends, Jesus says, “Fear no one.” If finitude in awareness is anxiety—and it is—and ruthless people know how to use our fears to manipulate us, how do we avoid being afraid? It is possible if and only if you go through something like a “metanoia.” “Meta” means “beyond”; “nous” means “mind.” Therefore, “metanoia” means to go beyond the mind you have, to change your way of thinking and seeing—to change the fundamental attitude of your life. What if you were to undergo a metanoia, and the center of your life became not your body and its preoccupation but the soul?

@TJ_Bongiorno Lol, my exact reply. I've been seeing it for years, but one was just last month 🤯

@derweb07 wtf

My reply to this seems to be well received so here it is again: Non-exhaustive list assuming you want a real brand and not dropshipping: Optimize for LTV and/or AOV from the beginning Custom formula not dropshipped slop If it is a powder: flavor is as important if not more important than effect Do a preliminary trademark search If education is required, don’t send traffic direct to pdp Get on trybe from the beginning and offer generous commissions for all affiliates Get on Amazon and TikTok shop as quickly as you can Third-party test your product Make it in the USA if you can Use your welcome sequence of emails to educate the consumer If you opt for subscriptions retention is king Don’t lie in your claims

@TJ_Bongiorno It is surprising to see but there are still co-mans here in the States that don't have a cGMP cert and still making aupplements. Foolish business

@derweb07 Of course, this goes with the making it in the US point

This is 🎯

Ecomm supplement friends - Anyone know of any small brands for sale? $2-20M ARR I have an interested buyer @AJA_Cortes @MarcLobliner @TJ_Bongiorno @torreydawley

That’s cute. Does your local pub have a flag on the moon and a stealth bomber?

@WilliamWallace It is really fascinating to see these results. More evidence that a one-size-fits-all approach to dieting is wrong. Treat the individual. N-1 Healthcare is getting closer everyday!

Two people can be identical on paper, same weight, same insulin resistance, same fasting glucose, and the diet that improves one does nothing for the other. What separates them is not how resistant they are but which organ the resistance is strongest in. A Dutch team ran the trial precision nutrition usually only promises: 242 adults, randomized, twelve weeks. They measured whether each person's insulin resistance sat in muscle or liver, then assigned two diets, high-monounsaturated-fat or low-fat/high-protein/high-fiber, so one group's pairing mirrored the other's. When the muscle-resistant people got the high-fiber diet and the liver-resistant people got the high-fat one, their insulin sensitivity, glucose control, triglycerides, and CRP all improved more than the reverse pairing. Same diets, same twelve weeks, same baseline resistance. The only difference was matching the diet to the tissue driving the problem. The pre-registered primary outcome was null, so this lives in secondary markers, it's twelve weeks in adults with a BMI of 25 to 40, and the phenotyping needs a timed glucose tolerance test most clinics don't run. Proof of concept, essentially. But it tests the actual premise the personalized-nutrition industry sells, that your biology should set your diet, with a real measurable readout instead of a genetic or microbiome guess. That's rare, and it's the version of that claim worth taking seriously.

@WilliamWallace This is brilliant research!

@Cernovich Or the flip side. I would expect the Pentagon to have plans on the shelf to invade every country in the world. So that makes the professor Captain Obvious 🫡

Fake news, completely.

@CesiumThoughts @ScrwyL @C_3C_3 Keep pulling that thread and you're back to FDR and further to Wilson. The seeds were planted decades before.

@ScrwyL @C_3C_3 it started under Kennedy sir. Johnson then remolded it.

Question… If Elon is supposed to end world hunger with his own money in 1 year why didn’t USAID end world hunger with our money in 64 years? Weird?!
