I don’t like how Will Buxton has gaslit me into believing it’ll be a Max-related news by dropping the word “massive”, so I made him bald

Hearing a big announcement is on the way before the end of the day. If it is what I think it is, it’s absolutely massive.

I did a garage gym tour in Europe a couple years ago.
I noticed that no one had their country flag in their gyms.
I asked one, “why don’t you guys put flags up?”
He replied, “that’s a silly American thing.”
I smiled and said, “so is winning, I guess?”
We both chuckled.

Things to reach their growth potential:
> High bioavailable protein + dairy + micronutrient-dense diets
> Deep sleep (in bed by 10 PM = GH pulse)
> Consistent sleep-wake times
> Not being fat + chronically inflamed + redox imbalanced

@FischerKing64 That’s about the age I read Congo, Sphere, and Jurassic Park. Excellent reads.

Crichton also wrote in a style so clear and simple that 13 year old boys (not just adults) enthusiastic about science could enjoy his books. He was probably the first author I read at that age who showed me that reading could be a source of genuine pleasure.

Michael Crichton is such a fascinating figure and it is a goddamn shame he died so young This guy got into Harvard Medical School and said "actually, I want to write stories" so he wrote one of the most harrowing long short stories, the Andromeda Strain. This guy was addicted to research. He read scientific journals for fun and researched everything that captured his interest. He was curious and skeptical. He thought hard about the implications of technology all the time. And, instead of being a dork and writing a blog, he wrote entire novels warning about the dangers of emerging technologies. And they were great! He wrote a `Prey` about the dangers of combining AI with nanobots 24 years ago. It's tremendous. You could publish it today and it would be relevant. I miss him. I miss technically competent authors who can spin a good yarn while informing the reader about how technology is changing the world. Crichton was a generational talent and we are poorer for his absence.

Illustrations by C. F. Payne (2025-2026) Payne depicts cows in the silhouette of US states, creating unique renderings that display a comical portrayal of what would otherwise be a straightforward animal portrait.

15 of the most practical takeaways from Chris Masterjohn on The Feldman Protocol last week
1) Mitochondria sit upstream of all → Most "diseases of high markers" are downstream symptoms of an energy-production bottleneck.
2) Pole vaulters + gymnasts outlive the population by 8 yrs. Runners and cyclists? ~2-3.
3) Longevity edge = movement quality → Joint function + biomechanics protect against CVD, cancer & chronic inflammation.
4) More CoQ10 isn't better → 100-200mg/day helps glucose + blood pressure. Go higher and the benefit reverses. (balancing >> maxxing)
5) Seed oils = long-term liability → They load your membranes with the fats most likely to oxidize and aging is what eventually lights the match.
6) Only 2 long, large, double-blind seed-oil trials → Both point toward more heart disease & more cancer.
7) Long-term data > short-term → Seed oils look great at 12 weeks and bad at 5-8 years.
8) Treat plaque as containment response → Remove the conditions that built it & the animal data shows it regresses.
9) Driver of atherosclerosis = damage to the LDL particle → Oxidation + aggregation are what get LDL pulled into the wall.
10) More saturated fat intake requires more choline → Choline-dependent phosphatidylcholine is what keeps LDL particles from aggregating. Egg yolks + liver = S-tier sources
11) Coronary calcium falls short → Calcium on your scan is stable kind. Micro-calcifications that actually rupture a plaque don't show up on imaging.
12) Crohn's barely existed before industrialized food → There's a ~62-fold difference in incidence between America and the Caribbean.
13) Breastfeeding = lower Crohn's risk (dose-dependent) → Protection strongest at the longest durations.
14) Crohn's = a pressure problem → A main genetic driver is PIEZO1 (a pressure receptor). Flares track with altitude/travel. Liquid diet works partly by lowering gut pressure.
15) CM's rough daily stack: 8g creatine + 600mcg molybdenum + 600mcg K2 + 100mg CoQ10 (ubiquinol) + food-based vitamin C, plus ~100g strawberries.

@CoffeeBlackMD I have four, 3 boys and then a girl, with a total of 9 years of separation. 100% facts. Like a lot of things, 80% (or whatever the number is) is the same but the balance, the individual attention, the specifics for each (the 20%), makes the difference.

It’s interesting that these boys of mine have both been raised at different formative moments in my own life. And I’ve raised them a bit differently. Arguably my second son really benefited from these different people raising him. Now. Compared to then. My first son … I was kind of hard on him.
But I never let him break. I saw this potential. And still do. So much potential. But differently in both boys.
My second boy needs me to be the way I am right now. And he’s going to be ok. They’d one of the things I’m seeing clearly. Because I was worried about it. But he’s going to be ok. I can tell. I think what happened to him when he was little, has in the only ways proper and necessary become strong. Stronger. Even as his legs don’t work perfectly. It’s so important how you talk to your kids my friends at certain stages.
I don’ know here. Maybe my point is an obvious one - you gotta parent reach kid individually.
And maybe. Just maybe. I was exactly who I was supposed to be for those boys in those right moments?
Maybe all these things will coalesce and continue to do so around those the Lord blesses. The last May be a step too far for some. But I’m a believer and I think the Lord is blessing me.
For me. Some days. That’s it. It’s enough.
