One interesting observation I’ve noticed is a lot of top founders did oddly strong at math from a young age.

if you read enough fiber research you either start thinking you’re going insane or realize the entire nutrition industry has a financial incentive to keep you buying protein powder instead. you need to eat your fiber and i’m not even trying to be nice about it. 95% of Americans are *deficient* while enough fiber alone reduces all-cause mortality by 30%, colorectal cancer by 26%, and your gut bacteria literally digest your own intestinal lining when you starve them of it. fiber should be a bigger supplement category than protein but since it actually makes you healthier there’s no interest in selling it

Unpopular framing of this issue, but dating apps are terrible for women. Optionality is not an advantage. It’s almost always the enemy of human happiness, and it inevitably rots the soul when prolonged. The more romantic options a woman is consciously aware of, the less likely it becomes that she’ll ever find real love.
