@M1chael__W Is this only for full sprints or also 80-90% etc?

I wish there was a way to measure it, but I’m pretty factually certain that my “free testosterone” levels go up after I sprint and only after sprinting alone. My entire attitude changes… I become more aggressive (almost too much so), my mood is elevated, I want to do more …it lasts 9 or 10 hours. Free testosterone (as opposed to total) is what the body is able to utilize. After sprinting, I feel a surge in all of the areas that testosterone is supposed to affect. Even if I’m tired and not in a good mood once I sprint, it changes everything. People looking for secret elixir, and things, but this might be the most efficient one

@rafaof_ @M1chael__W @gregogallagher Do you take all of these? what amounts of each is best?

@kevindmackay @M1chael__W @gregogallagher Yep, Boron, Zinc, Vitamin D. Magnesium also competes for SHBG with testosterone.

You can build way more muscle on TRT than you can with 900 T naturally Sad, but true

@M1chael__W @rafaof_ @gregogallagher Boron reduces SHBG I think.

@rafaof_ @gregogallagher We need a peptide that unlocks more free testosterone… even a few % would make a huge difference since it’s only 1 to 4% of total testosterone Kind of weird how the emphasis has always been on purely increasing overall testosterone levels

All mastery is conscious control in disguise.

What opposable thumbs are to the body, conscious control is to the mind.

People walk around on autopilot all day and don't know how to take the controls- so don't be surprised when they sit down and crash the plane.

If you want to have more conscious control of your actions and reactions, the best place to start is with your postural system.

@devaraj227 “There seems to be a persistent gap between what they say and what they do, so let’s get those frontal lobes hooked up directly to the net.”

So you have a planet full of primates that have developed frontal lobes; either organically or via some externally mediated process. They've now created a record of their entire civilization - the internet. They've created a means to rapidly index that record - LLMs. If this were the work of some alien intelligence, leaning in and probing us - what would its next step likely be?

Psychophysical unification is only possible through action - not sitting around trying to feel whole.

The central failure of the modern mind–body field is epistemic: subjective experience is treated as proof of objective change.

You should train for a dynamic mind in a dynamic body.

Conscious control is to the mind what opposable thumbs are to the hand.

I’ve been using your Runcible demo custom GPT to help develop a western mind-body discipline. Very helpful, always pulling me away from my narrative tendency back to demonstrable practices. Example from today: “Critical Correction (Non-Optional) Your strongest insight is not “Western vs Eastern.” It is this: You are replacing subjective introspection with externalized measurement. That is the actual innovation. If you lean on civilizational framing, you weaken the claim (non-testable, ideological). If you lean on measurement protocol, you strengthen it (testable, scalable, defensible).”

(RUNCIBLE AI STATUS) I think our Runcible AI—meaning our governance layer over LLMs (OpenAI at present)—is working as designed. Meaning: it’s rigorous and direct. Or, more bluntly: “It’s a dick.” No. Seriously. Any illusion of sycophancy has been stabbed through its vampiric, normativity-seeking heart with an NLI operational stake. ;) Now I’ve got to make it give you advice rather than chastise you for being a mere human, and make the output humanly interpretable instead of our painful NLI logical density. ;) . . (BTW: This was very hard. The AIs want to minimize effort and truth by hallucinating, moralizing, or outright lying at every opportunity. So, just as falsification defeated justification in philosophy and science, we have had to do the same in LLM AI: remove every path that is easy for it and favored by its biases. How do we do it? Language as a system of measurement; decomposition of claims into first-principles tests (laws of grammar for truth, ethics, possibility, and liability); and variation under the ternary logic of evolutionary computation (laws of nature at all scales). I haven’t yet plugged in our deception detection against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit. But that part isn’t all that hard.) Anyway, Cheers, CD

@nosilverv Yes

If u had to define life in one word, what word would that be?

You get better ideas writing by hand than writing on computer not because of neuro this or neuro that- but because looking at the screen makes you think in *words whereas pen and paper makes you think about the *thing the words refer to.

"Ladies and gentlemen we are so lucky to have our speaker here today, he rarely does live appearances like this, and he only has one hour with us today.... but anyway here are 12 minutes of my rambling irrelevant pointless introduction to get you started."

Actually, it's the midwit imagining this rather than the moron.
