I told you guys back in October that the next election would NOT be about the Carbon Tax I was right I hope the Conservatives prepared an alternative gameplan because "Axe The Tax" is officially dead What should Pierre Poilievre make the next election about?

@balajis @melez If someone else is qualified to do the job without all the baggage, then why bother? That’s the thing about free speech. You can say provocative and controversial things, but you are not free from the social consequences and fall out.

If possible, Marko Elez (@melez) should be reinstated at DOGE. If that is not possible, we should fund him to do his own startup. Let me explain my logic. 1) First, there can be no negotiation with terrorists — or journalists. Giving a single inch to a journo on anything DOGE-related would be like firing Michael Flynn at the beginning of Trump’s first term. Nothing should be done in response to anything they write. 2) Second, the entire practice of digging through people’s old posts to find some negative remark should be deprecated. Some out-of-context remarks almost never represent the whole human being. 3) Third, to my Indian-origin followers — apparently Marko made some anti-Indian comments. Of course, I don’t love that. But he’s only 25, will mature in time, and is clearly very competent. I believe in capitalism and dialogue as a way to bridge this kind of divide. Not summary cancellation. TLDR: if possible, Elon should consider restoring Marko to DOGE.

May you live in interesting times

@realgeordierose Your language wasn’t extreme enough

@realgeordierose Wishing you and your family a great 2025 and rooting for you to win 💪

Your thoughts and beliefs are not your own

@realgeordierose He’s back to jumping now after a lengthy recovery, but ultimately accepting that his knee won’t hold up in the future. Wishes that he had the option to do the maci procedure

@realgeordierose Yes it’s long, but microfracture surgery is even longer with worse outcomes. A friend of mine went into surgery for menisectomy and woke up with microfracture procedure done because the surgeon saw how bad his cartilage was.

@realgeordierose Apparently pretty decent success rate! Unfortunately I doubt it’s easily accessible in Canada. Probably need to do some medical tourism to the states or elsewhere.

The current moment is always filtered through the current thought.

@realgeordierose What a boss

The wildest thing I learned at the Stanford Sleep Medicine Center is that there isn't a cure for insomnia. There's no magic pill they can give you. The solution to start sleeping well again is "cognitive behavioral therapy", the gist of which is simply to *regain confidence in your ability to sleep*. If you think about this for a little bit, you realize just how widely applicable that is. You may be waiting for an external solution to your problems. A magic pill. But most of the time there is no such thing -- the fix is in yourself. The remedy is for you to *regain confidence in the power that your own actions have to effect change in your life*. Realize that you have agency. You can *do stuff*, and the stuff you do can change your circumstances -- in fact, it can completely rewrite your life. The problems you face have solutions. Look at them, break them down, take that first step. If it doesn't work at first, adjust, repeat -- succeed. There will be no deus ex machina -- you have to do it yourself. You probably knew this once, just like you once knew you could simply go to bed and sleep until morning. You just need to remember.

Squeak

Flicking off the camera doesn't make what you did any cooler.

@hubermanlab Contrarians and tribalism

If anyone can explain why deliberate cold exposure is such a divisive tool, please let me know in the comments below…

Deliberate cold exposure seems to divide people. It’s not a required tool but it is also not accurate to say that exercise (which everyone should do b/c it’s undeniably good for mental and physical health) is somehow “better”. It’s apples and oranges; Deliberate cold is a unique stressor w/unique adaptations- such as acute resilience and especially long lasting increases in catecholamines (dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine). Yes, avoid deliberate cold in the 6hrs after resistance training or skip it entirely (!) but if you’re into it, you can be sure you’re doing something uniquely valuable and no it does not replace exercise. Also, you’re saving on the heating bill (w/cold showers anyway). Personally, I usually end deliberate cold sessions with heat. Here is a zero cost set of cold protocols (no sign up required): hubermanlab.com/the-science-an…
