a {text-decoration: none;} *************** 5-Bullet Friday ***************   The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/x0hph6he5doo66b5hl/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8= )     Hi All!   Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.   This issue is brought to you by Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/6qheh8hlm6zzg8fohk/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ), which automatically removes your personal information from the web, helping to keep you safe online and off. Data protection is fast becoming a necessity and not a luxury. Be sure to check out their offer in the P.S.   --------------------- Earplugs I’m enjoying --------------------- ​PQ Silicone Gel Earplugs ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/kkhmh6hnk2rrqkflh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9kcC9CMEJLSDFENjJDP3JlZj1uYl9zYl9zc193X2FzLXJlb3JkZXJfazBfMV83JmFtcD0mY3JpZD0zOE43VlRUQTZTTkpaJnNwcmVmaXg9ZWFyJTJCcGx1JnRoPTE= ). For sleep, I’ve used Mack’s silicone earplugs ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/58hvh7hgroqq86u6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9NYWNrcy1QaWxsb3ctU29mdC1TaWxpY29uZS1FYXJwbHVncy9kcC9CMDdHMU1XSE5SLw== ) for more than a decade. But they’re not without issues: the putty is too large for my ears, but a half is too small, and I constantly run out while on the road. The PQ earplugs come in a package of 50, and they’re just the right size. Thus far, these have become my default.   ------------------- Article I’m reading ------------------- “Inside the Secret Factory That Supplies Ukraine’s War Drones ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/25h2hoh3k066zqs3h4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNi8wNy8xMS9idXNpbmVzcy9kZWFsYm9vay9kcm9uZS1mYWN0b3J5LWhlbHNpbmcuaHRtbA== ).” (Alternate link ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/qvh8h7hd92zz53ilhk/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcmNoaXZlLmlzL05MMEdU ).)

Here are a few excerpts to give you some idea of the gist:​ ​​ ​Block is remote-first. Everything we do creates artifacts. Decisions, discussions, code, designs, plans, problems, and progress all exist as recorded actions. It’s the raw material for a company world model. In a traditional company, a manager’s job is to know what’s happening across their team and relay that context up and down the chain. In a remote-first company where work is already machine-readable, AI can build and maintain that picture continuously. What’s being built, what’s blocked, where resources are allocated, what’s working and what isn’t. That’s the information the hierarchy used to carry. The company world model carries it instead.​ ​ ... ​ ​[An intelligence layer] is what composes capabilities into solutions for specific customers at specific moments and delivers them proactively. A restaurant’s cash flow is tightening ahead of a seasonal dip the model has seen before. The intelligence layer composes a short-term loan from the lending capability, adjusts the repayment schedule using the payments capability, and surfaces it to the merchant before they even think to look for financing. A Cash App user’s spending pattern shifts in a way the model associates with a move to a new city. The intelligence layer composes a new direct deposit setup, a Cash App Card with boosted categories for their new neighborhood, and a savings goal calibrated to their updated income. No product manager decided to build either solution. The capabilities existed. The intelligence layer recognized the moment and composed them. ​ ​… ​​ ​We’re writing about it now because we believe every company will eventually need to confront the same question we did: what does your company understand that is genuinely hard to understand, and is that understanding getting deeper every day? ​ If the answer is nothing, AI is just a cost optimization story. You cut headcount, improve margins for a few quarters, and eventually get absorbed by something smarter. If the answer is deep, AI doesn’t augment your company. It reveals what your company actually is.​ ​ Pairs well with the real-world examples in this video ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/48hvhehm4qvvd9sxh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_c2k9X2JOTXFsVWxUQmJOQkFJeCZ0PTIzMiZ2PVhfSnNJSFVmVWpjJmZlYXR1cmU9eW91dHUuYmU= ) from Tom Blomfield, and you only need 1–2 minutes to get the gist. ​ Thanks to Tomas Hoyos ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/wnh2hghqevnn2vi7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly90b21hc2hveW9zLnN1YnN0YWNrLmNvbS8= ) for recommending both of the above.

OK, I realize I’m late to the party here, but, MY GOD, what a wonderful nightly palate cleanser! ​ Like millions of people, I’d seen tons of social clips of Parks and Rec and even 1–2 scattered episodes. But I’d never watched it as one should: starting at the beginning. The character development over time is incredible, and having a reliable “Oh, I feel so much better!” at the end of every day has become one of my favorite rituals. ​ If you want to sample just one episode, try “Sister City ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/l2hehmhl8veemlh6h0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjBGR0Y2NTcyQz90YWc9b2Zmc2l0b2Z0aW1mZS0yMCZyZWZfPWF0dl9kcF9zZWFzb25fc2VsZWN0X3My )” (Season 2, Episode 5) or one of their other top-rated eps ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/m2h7h5h3d0vv6mumhq/aHR0cHM6Ly92YXJpZXR5LmNvbS9saXN0cy9wYXJrcy1hbmQtcmVjcmVhdGlvbi1iZXN0LWVwaXNvZGVzL3NvdWxtYXRlcy0yLw== ). But I’d suggest starting at S1E1 ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/dpheh0helwvv95fmh4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjBGOUZCV01HUT90YWc9b2Zmc2l0b2Z0aW1mZS0yMCZyZWZfPWF0dl9kcF9zZWFzb25fc2VsZWN0X3Mx ) and just watching them all. As someone who grew up on Richard Pryor, I never thought I’d be so grateful for (mostly) wholesome laughs. And if you like it, you’ll have 120+ eps over 7 seasons to keep you laughing, which should be enough to fuel at least a few months of exhaling before bed. ​ To really go down the rabbit hole, pair this with my conversation ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/e0hph7h78w6635u8h2/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIyLzAxLzE5L21pY2hhZWwtc2NodXIvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZg== ) with Michael Schur. Michael created the critically acclaimed NBC comedy The Good Place and co-created Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and Rutherford Falls. Prior to “Parks,” Michael spent four years as a writer-producer on the Emmy Award-winning NBC hit The Office.   -------------------- Quotes I’m pondering -------------------- “You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.” ​— Ray Bradbury ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/7qh7h8h9rpqq2dtzh6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvUmF5X0JyYWRidXJ5 )​ (Click to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/owhkhqhw2lppmptvhr/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvZng1ZG0= ).)​ “In descriptions of Nature one must seize on small details, grouping them so that when the reader closes his eyes he gets a picture. For instance, you’ll have a moonlit night if you write that on the mill dam a piece of glass from a broken bottle glittered like a bright little star, and that the black shadow of a dog or a wolf rolled past like a ball.” ​— Anton Chekhov ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/z2hghnheqrnn26aph0/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQW50b25fQ2hla2hvdg== ) advising his brother, which was paraphrased later ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/p8heh9h4n5mmwohqh3/aHR0cHM6Ly9xdW90ZWludmVzdGlnYXRvci5jb20vMjAxMy8wNy8zMC9tb29uLWdsaW50Lw== ) into the succinct writing advice “Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.” You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my brand-new interview ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx7oogkb6h67pn569ilhdnq/x0hph6he5doov6h5hl/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA3LzIyL2RyLWFuZHJldy1odWJlcm1hbi1wcm90b2NvbHMvP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZg== ) with neuroscientist and Stanford University School of Medicine professor Dr. Andrew Huberman.

The Direct Deposit Plus Investing Program from Wealthfront Advisers LLC and Wealthfront Brokerage LLC provides eligible clients a 0.25% APY increase above the base APY on eligible Cash Account balances (up to an overall boosted rate of 4.30% for a limited time when including the three month 0.75% APY boost for new Cash Account clients) when you direct deposit $1,000/month plus maintain a funded investing account.

Life Is Beautiful follows Guido, a Jewish-Italian father who shields his young son from the horrors of a concentration camp by convincing him it’s all an elaborate game. That’s how the movie is typically described, but that’s truthfully only the second half of the movie, and there is much more to it. ​ Perhaps better than any film I’ve ever seen, it uses hilarity to explore one of the darkest real-world chapters in recent human history. It’s a rare film that is chock-full of belly laughs and gut punches. ​ Thank me later when you find yourself saying “Buongiorno, Principessa!”   -------------------- Quotes I’m pondering -------------------- “For the classics, philosophical insight was the product of a life of leisure; for me, a life of leisure is the product of philosophical insight.” ​— Nassim Nicholas Taleb​ ​ ​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/25h2hoh3p5ednrh3h4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0xOFp4Q3hOMlpNbw== )“Absolutely unmixed attention is prayer.” ​— Simone Weil ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/qvh8h7hdmx0nq7ilhk/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvU2ltb25lX1dlaWw= )​ You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with another rousing, laugh-filled edition of The Random Show ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5mq9g4tohpz63o3ps9h6rd/g3hnh5hm8vkpxlcrh9/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA3LzE2L3RoZS1yYW5kb20tc2hvdy8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJm ), with my good friend Kevin Rose.

a {text-decoration: none;} *************** 5-Bullet Friday ***************   The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/qvh8h7hdmmgl4qilhk/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8= )     Hi All!   Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of things I’m exploring. And before my friends text me, I’m doing great! Just exploring some unusual terrain while writing. Every “holy sh*t” bullet ends in redemption, so stick with ’em.   Writing is always running a gauntlet for me. Many of these remind you: sometimes you just need to keep running forward.   This edition is brought to you by ​The Way ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/g3hnh5hm8870lgirh9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ), the meditation app I use most often. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S.   ----------------------- What I’m watching again ----------------------- “IN-SHADOW - A Modern Odyssey - Animated Short Film ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/9qhzhnhdvvke60t9h3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1qODAwU1ZlaVM1SQ== ).” I watch this at least once a year. It’s a gripping short animation. I think anyone who spends time on a computer or phone needs to watch it. The intensity is followed by redemption, and the artwork and art direction are spectacular throughout. It is written, directed, and produced by Lubomir Arsov (@lubomirarsov ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/3ohphkh3556k2mhrhn/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9sdWJvbWlyYXJzb3YvP2hsPWVu )).

And thanks to Joe P. for the great recommendation long ago. Perhaps it’s time to cut the puppet strings that make you dance. This one helps me keep social media apps off of my phone.   ---------------------------------------- Song I’m enjoying to welcome the weekend ---------------------------------------- “Le Festin ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/48hvhehmddz7pesxh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0tUXVWZS1oak1zMA== ).” I love cooking to this with my lady.

I’m loving this, and I’m only allowed to listen while driving or taking baths. It’s a reward. Put another way, I can’t use it to postpone writing. It’s a gem, but skip forward if a chapter doesn’t grab you. ​ Here are a few excerpts from the official description: ​ ​An insightful look into the mind of a master storyteller—and a unique look at the craft of writing from the beloved and best-selling author of 1Q84, Norwegian Wood, and What I Talk About When I Talk About Running. ​ “Murakami is like a magician who explains what he’s doing as he performs the trick and still makes you believe he has supernatural powers.” —New York Times Book Review ​ “What I want to say is that in a certain sense, while the novelist is creating a novel, he is simultaneously being created by the novel as well.” —Haruki Murakami   -------------------- Quotes I’m pondering -------------------- “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage.” ​— Anaïs Nin ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/v8um3g89r2trhvz7r7mighvzl0rw4b9h6x0/m2h7h5h366kl9khmhq/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQW5hJUMzJUFGc19OaW4= )​ ​ ​“Yes.

It’s an easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always a listener favorite. I recently chose to invest in The Way, given all the above, and I’ve been working with Henry and his team to make the app as good as humanly possible. I’ve probably sent a hundred notes on the product, and they’ve been improving it each and every week. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​Now, subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday can try 30 days for free, no credit card required.

I loved this book, and it’s nice and short. The audiobook clocks in at around six hours at 1x speed. The prose is gorgeous, and earlier chapters on ancient thinkers (e.g., Democritus) alone make it worth the purchase. Here’s a more complete description: ​ “Theoretical physicist Carlo Rovelli takes you on a journey through how our understanding of reality has evolved, from Democritus to Einstein, from Michael Faraday to gravitational waves, and from classical physics to his own pioneering work in quantum gravity. Mind-bending physics made accessible, beautifully narrated by Roy McMillan ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/z2hghnhe20lp88fph0/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXVkaWJsZS5jb20vc2VhcmNoP3NlYXJjaE5hcnJhdG9yPVJveSUyME1jTWlsbGFuJnJlZl9wYWdlbG9hZGlkPXpYcEJPaE5sc2hkVXpheUUmcGZfcmRfcD1mNmRhMGI2My00MzlkLTQ4YTctYTg1OS1iMTg3YjdjNTA3MDUmcGZfcmRfcj04UUs2S0pYQjkzRjFDMzg4RlpaSiZwbGluaz1tV3psWGVIRE9vYlBVUHlCJnBhZ2VMb2FkSWQ9UzhodmV4SDQxSExWZTNTOSZjcmVhdGl2ZUlkPTE2MDE1YmE0LTJlMmQtNGFlMy05M2M1LWU5Mzc3ODFhMjVjZCZyZWY9YV9wZF9SZWFsaXRfcGluX25hcnJhdG9yXzE= ).” ​ The later chapters on quantum gravity get dense, but the first 50% of this book, plus the conclusion, are fantastic for anyone with a little curiosity and a little patience. This book pairs incredibly well with When We Cease to Understand the World ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/p8heh9h4w8qgl7hqh3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9kcC8xNjgxMzc1NjY0P2x2PXNodWYmdGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjAmY2hhbm5lbElkPTEmcGxwUmVkaXJlY3Q9bWhGYWxsYmFjaw== ), which I’ve recommended before.   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.” ​— Federico Fellini ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/x0hph6hevxq9lnc5hl/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRmVkZXJpY29fRmVsbGluaQ== ), Italian film director and screenwriter (1920–1993).   ---------------------------------- Research and science I’m following ---------------------------------- “How do bilingual brains navigate between languages? Scientists discover ‘geometric neural map.’ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/6qheh8hl809nd7iohk/aHR0cHM6Ly9uZXdzLnJpY2UuZWR1L25ld3MvMjAyNi9ob3ctZG8tYmlsaW5ndWFsLWJyYWlucy1uYXZpZ2F0ZS1iZXR3ZWVuLWxhbmd1YWdlcy1zY2llbnRpc3RzLWRpc2NvdmVyLWdlb21ldHJpYy1uZXVyYWw= )” ​ This article describes new research just published in Cell ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/kkhmh6hn04x63nclh7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2NpZW5jZWRpcmVjdC5jb20vc2NpZW5jZS9hcnRpY2xlL3BpaS9TMDA5Mjg2NzQyNjAwNTc5OT92aWElM0RpaHVi ), and it begins with the below paragraph: ​ “Anyone who speaks more than one language knows the feeling of expressing the same thought through entirely different linguistic lenses. A new study by researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine reveals that the key to this translation ability is a shared geometric map of neural responses in the hippocampus.” ​ It also discusses how neuroscience and AI may be converging on similar conclusions or underlying principles. It’s exciting stuff. That said, the research was based on only four speakers of English and Spanish. I love the exploration, and there are lots of open questions to ponder: ​ - Does the conceptual map somehow exist independent of language, or is it created with the learning of your first language? I would bet on the latter. ​ - English and Spanish share Indo-European structure and Latin-alphabet orthography. Does the mapping differ if you have completely different phonetics (e.g., Chinese) or very different grammar (e.g., Japanese)? Only one or the other? Both? If so, is there a threshold for “different”? ​ - One of the study’s senior authors described the brain as “keeping languages distinct enough to avoid interference.” But that refers to the proposed neural geometry of meaning, not necessarily to every retrieval slip we make while speaking—and multilingual people do mix things up. It happens a lot. ​ Sometimes the reasons seem obvious enough: for instance, a native English speaker confuses their Spanish and Portuguese, which are incredibly similar. Other times, it’s less clear what’s going on under the hood. In my case, I have retrieval errors between Spanish and Chinese only when both proficiency levels are near equal, but not when one is lagging behind the other. This is also true if my Japanese approaches my Spanish or I’m relearning German and it gets close to another beginner-level language. ​ But here is the stranger part – it doesn’t need to be current proficiency! Any point in my life will do. ​ For instance, if I haven’t studied a language in 20+ years but had a “purple belt” in proficiency at my peak—as was the case with Chinese study ending around 2000—when a new language approaches purple belt, I accidentally recall Chinese words or phrases (e.g., proverbs) that I would not be able to recall deliberately, even with a gun against my head. I’d be curious if anyone else has experienced this bizarre phenomenon (let me know @tferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/58hvh7hgdl6kzka6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly90d2l0dGVyLmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcw== )). ​ The research is still at the top of the first inning, but I’m thrilled that people are taking swings.   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “In looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence, and energy. And if they don’t have the first, the other two will kill you.” ​— Warren Buffett ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/25h2hoh3pnm4edc3h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvV2FycmVuX0J1ZmZldHQ= )​ You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my interview ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxzrenef6h64qz3dvhlhdnq/g3hnh5hm8xq6kgfrh9/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIyLzA0LzEzL2RvbmFsZC1ob2ZmbWFuLz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ) with cognitive scientist and psychologist Dr. Donald Hoffman.

I had been the only kid in my Harvard Business School section to graduate without a job.

From the description: “For twenty years, Dan O’Brien struggled to make ends meet on his cattle ranch in South Dakota. But when a neighbor invited him to lend a hand at the annual buffalo roundup, O’Brien was inspired to convert his own ranch, the Broken Heart, to buffalo. Starting with thirteen calves, ‘short-necked, golden balls of wool,’ O’Brien embarked on a journey that returned buffalo to his land for the first time in more than a century and a half. Buffalo for the Broken Heart is at once a tender account of the buffaloes’ first seasons on the ranch and an engaging lesson in wildlife ecology. … O’Brien combines a novelist’s eye for detail with a naturalist’s understanding to create an enriching, entertaining narrative.”   -------------------- Quotes I’m pondering -------------------- “Everyone discusses my art and pretends to understand, as if it were necessary to understand, when it is simply necessary to love.” ​— Claude Monet ​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/8ghqhoho62owv0tkh9/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQ2xhdWRlX01vbmV0 )(Click here to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/vqh3hrho9vom7vcghl/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvNjNKQm4= ).) ​ ​“I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money—I think that can be a burden—I’m greedy for an exciting life.”​ — David Hockney ​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/m2h7h5h36q32p0amhq/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRGF2aWRfSG9ja25leQ== )(Click here to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/dpheh0he9oedgmamh4/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvNGVxWTU= ).)

It's quiet enough that you forget it’s running, and it’s smart enough to leave your charging cables alone.

Fans include Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke, my friends Kevin Rose and Naval Ravikant, and many others. ​ If you're a parent, have pets, or just refuse to spend your Sundays vacuuming, Matic ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/lmupe27ondsmhnmpp59c6h8w6pedoagh0o4/58hvh7hgdng32qc6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly9tYXRpY3JvYm90cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdD91dG1fdGVybT1GUklFTkQtVElNRkVSUklTUw== ) is the best “set it and forget it” option on the market.

One name that has come up on this podcast more than once is Dr. Valter Longo, a USC professor with decades of peer-reviewed research on fasting, nutrition, and aging. I regularly fast and have done a lot of experiments with fasting over more than a decade, and it has been one of the most incredible unlocks that I have found for both near- and long-term physical and mental health. But fasting can be really hard, and that is why Dr. Longo, best known for the Fast Mimicking Diet (FMD), developed ProLon ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h58m97ouohp428dega9h6rd/wnh2hghqpz06o4f7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly9wcm9sb25saWZlLmNvbS9UaW0= ). For 5 days, you’re able to get the benefits of fasting—including autophagy, your body’s cellular, self cleanup process—all while eating real, structured, plant-based meals. In scientific studies, 5-day cycles of the Fast Mimicking Diet improved markers tied to metabolic health and biological aging and helped people drop fat while holding onto lean muscle. And ProLon makes it easy: it comes in one box, everything is clearly laid out, and there’s no guesswork. For a limited time, Prolon is offering my listeners 15% off site wide, plus a $40 bonus gift when you subscribe to their 5-day program.

Benedict is sharp, and many of his comparisons and lenses were new to me. ​ The official description from Lenny’s site:​ ​ ​Benedict Evans ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/wnh2hghqplvxn6c7hx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYmVuLWV2YW5zLmNvbS8= ) is an independent analyst and former partner at Andreessen Horowitz, where he spent years as their in-house “thinker” tracking the most important technology trends. For the past six years, he’s been publishing deeply researched presentations on where tech is heading, most recently focused on AI’s transformation of the economy. His work is read by founders, investors, and operators trying to make sense of a noisy field. His most controversial opinion: AI is as big a deal as the internet or mobile—and only as big.   ------------------------ Documentary I’m watching ------------------------ ​Waste Land ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/reh8hohmrovw4ru2h6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9XYXN0ZS1MYW5kLUx1Y3ktV2Fsa2VyL2RwL0IwQjZGRjZLQ0YvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw ) (Amazon ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/reh8hohmrovw4ru2h6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9XYXN0ZS1MYW5kLUx1Y3ktV2Fsa2VyL2RwL0IwQjZGRjZLQ0YvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw ), Apple ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8pwzl4s3hg9eoev3hgh7w8/08hwh9h25pwgv6flh5/aHR0cHM6Ly90di5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvbW92aWUvd2FzdGUtbGFuZC91bWMuY21jLjJndDdoMHdtNmg2aGtlbTNkMDV5ZGRvZzg= )).

I’ve long assumed them too confidential to share, but this episode is my first exception. It’s a fun one, as there are clear before-and-after results. ​ This early-stage brainstorming session helped refine talking points that ended up in the Oval Office two months later. ​ My guest is Jake Becraft ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/kkhmh6hnqw7l64alh7/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9EclN5bmJpbw== ), CEO and co-founder of Strand Therapeutics ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/58hvh7hg8xemk3s6h4/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3RyYW5kdHguY29tLw== ), which is building one of the most advanced programmable genetic medicine platforms in biotech.

I’ve tried a lot of stationary bikes, including very fancy indoor trainers, for getting in Zone 2 cardio and VO2 max training. I hate nearly all of them. This M3i is *not* fancy, but it does allow me to elevate the handlebars enough so that (1) I’m not bumping my thighs into my stomach like a one-hour Heimlich maneuver, and (2) it doesn’t make my low back incredibly grumpy. The controls are simple, it’s durable, I don’t use an app with it, and, so far, it’s the only indoor bike that I’ve used consistently. And more good news: it’s found in a lot of commercial gyms. ​​ ​Google AI overview: “The Keiser M3i Indoor Bike is highly acclaimed by users and reviewers, often considered one of the best, most durable, and smoothest commercial-grade spin bikes for home use. Key praise centers on its whisper-quiet magnetic resistance, excellent durability, and accurate power data.”   ----------------------------- Book highlight I am pondering ----------------------------- “Within the space of a mere hundred years, human beings have abandoned their biologically mandated need for adequate sleep—one that evolution spent 3,400,000 years perfecting in service of life-support functions.”​ — Why We Sleep ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/reh8hohmrd80wpi2h6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9XaHktV2UtU2xlZXAtVW5sb2NraW5nLURyZWFtcy9kcC8xNTAxMTQ0MzI0Lz90YWc9b2Zmc2l0b2Z0aW1mZS0yMA== ) by Matthew Walker ​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/08hwh9h25e8dg8blh5/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIzLzAyLzA4L2RyLW1hdHRoZXctd2Fsa2VyLz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= )(Click here to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/8ghqhohovd4l9efkh9/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvSTdwVWk= ).)

Every product of theirs is NSF Certified for Sport®, meaning it’s independently verified and what’s on the label is confirmed to be in the bottle. Their own commitment to the highest quality ingredient sourcing, The Momentous Standard®, adds another layer of analysis and reassurance. That rigor is why their products are trusted by hundreds of elite sports organizations, including all 32 NFL teams. It is also why the one and only Arnold Schwarzenegger partnered with Momentous above all others. ​ ​Through June 7th, you’ll get 40% off your first subscription order ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/gkuvnml205a5hl86e9lcrh8ol7gkqtmh8ed/owhkhqhwv9zrg4bvhr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vZGlzY291bnQvQ0VMRUJSQVRFP3JlZGlyZWN0PSUyRnBhZ2VzJTJGbW9tZW50b3VzLWFubml2ZXJzYXJ5LXNhbGUmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1uZXdzbGV0dGVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09c3BvbmNvbiZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249dGltZmVycmlzcyZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1hbm5pdi1zYWxl ) (or 20% off a one-time purchase) with code CELEBRATE.

From his Wikipedia page: ​ ​[Crichton] explained that he had chosen the name ironically, because he had once discussed the effect with physicist Murray Gell-Mann, "and by dropping a famous name I imply greater importance to myself, and to the effect, than it would otherwise have."​ ​ ​Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect works as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward-reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them. In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story-and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read with renewed interest as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about far-off Palestine than it was about the story you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.   --------------------- New term I’m enjoying --------------------- If you have a second, let me know which one you prefer by clicking on it:​ ​ ​Hallucinatives (n.)

A few excerpts from the article: ​ ​Joe Lim estimates that 90 percent of what you see on the internet is advertising in disguise, and he should know. For three years, Lim ran a company called Floodify, which at its peak operated 65,000 dummy social-media accounts used to drum up attention on behalf of paying clients. On a typical day, he says, Floodify posted 50,000 videos across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and X, all of them designed to pass for the unscripted output of ordinary users. ​ … ​ We’ve locked ourselves in the stupidest possible version of Plato’s cave, where what looks like the spontaneous consensus of the hive mind is often just shadows on the wall, put there by marketers, political operatives, foreign-influence campaigns, or anyone else with a few hundred bucks and something to sell. “Everybody is doing this now,” Lim says. ​ … ​ When we last spoke, he was building a new company and thinking even further ahead. “All of this nonsense is only going to last three to five more years, because in the future, people will stop trusting what they see on social media.” By then, the job will have moved one layer up. “You’ll have to start distributing your content toward AI agents and then they’ll teach humans what they want.”   -------------------------------------------- Quote that makes me feel better about myself -------------------------------------------- “I’ve fallen in love or imagine that I have; went to a party and lost my head.

It is incredibly breathable, nearly impossible for me to wrinkle, and uses Organic Content Standard (OCS) certified cotton fiber that isn’t treated with pesticides, insecticides, or herbicides.   --------------------------------- What I’m drinking in the mornings --------------------------------- ​Brodo Bone Broth ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/48hvhehmen8n4esx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnJvZG8uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QvYnJvZG8tc3RhcnRlci1ib3gv ). Broth is one of the easiest ways to get quality protein and nutrition first thing in the morning. For the past two months, I’ve been having 1–2 Brodo packets per day, often simply poured into a mug and microwaved for 60 seconds. ​ Brodo was founded by Chef Marco Canora, who was one of my primary teachers in The 4-Hour Chef ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/wnh2hghqp363e2s7/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS80LUhvdXItQ2hlZi1Db29raW5nLUxlYXJuaW5nLUFueXRoaW5nL2RwLzEzMjg1MTkxNjMvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw ). ​Marco is the real deal. He won a James Beard Award for Best Chef: New York City, which is like winning an Oscar in the food world, and he has plenty of other awards and accolades to boot. ​ Brodo quickly became the most famous broth in NYC. The challenge for Marco has always been creating versions of his broths that (A) were shelf-stable, (B) met his high standards, and (C) didn’t require refrigeration… which he finally nailed. ​ My favorite flavors so far are Tuscan Sun and Tom Yum, which are included in their sampler box ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/48hvhehmen8n4esx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYnJvZG8uY29tL3Byb2R1Y3QvYnJvZG8tc3RhcnRlci1ib3gv ). If you wanna get fancy, you can use a milk frother to buzz extra-virgin olive oil (I like Kosterina ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/reh8hohmrezeggb2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cua29zdGVyaW5hLmNvbS9jb2xsZWN0aW9ucy9vbGl2ZS1vaWw_c3JzbHRpZD1BZm1CT29wQlprTExBMXNhV2ItU1ZJeFhQVFhaNVNESkdJbWRqYm1KeDN2dFNIQUd5Z0E5ZHZpZQ== )) into Tuscan Sun, and you can squeeze some lime juice into the Tom Yum for extra pop.   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.” ​― Friedrich Nietzsche ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/08hwh9h25krk3lul/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRnJpZWRyaWNoX05pZXR6c2NoZQ== ), Thus Spoke Zarathustra ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/8ghqhohovxnxm7sk/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvVGh1c19TcG9rZV9aYXJhdGh1c3RyYQ== )​ (Click here to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/k0upmzr7d9s6h5qovqxilhopg5kw3i8h08x/vqh3hrho7drdz6ag/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvdzFXN2Y= ).)

Exposure to PFAS has been linked to major health issues like gut microbiome disruption, testosterone dysregulation, and more, which have been correlated to chronic disease in the long term. This is why I use the Titanium Always Pan Pro from today’s sponsor, Our Place. ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h20n08vbqhpq64op2brhv8r/kkhmh6hnq226gdfl/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3RpbQ== ) It’s the first nonstick pan with zero coating. This means zero “forever chemicals” and a durability that will last a lifetime. That’s right—no degradation over time like traditional nonstick pans. This pan combines the best qualities of stainless steel, cast iron, and nonstick into one product. It’s tough enough to withstand the dishwasher, open flame, heavy-duty scrubbing—even metal utensils—without losing any of its non-stick properties.

This documentary tells the story of the most incredible transformation I’ve ever seen. It follows Tae Jin Park, a young man diagnosed with cerebral palsy and autism, who dismantled every limitation medical science predicted for him. Through athletic and mental training under Olympic strength coach Jerzy Gregorek ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/g3hnh5hm57w2k4br/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA1LzE0L2plcnp5LWdyZWdvcmVrLWNlcmVicmFsLXBhbHN5Lz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ), Tae Jin’s story redefines what is possible.

This is a wild read. There are some very smart lessons in here for those who read carefully. One benefit of the 2019 publication date is that you can now look up how his older investments (e.g., Heico) and newer bets at the time of its writing (e.g., GE) turned out. It’s practically the stuff of fantasy.   --------------------- What I’m listening to --------------------- I decided to include a couple of unusual tracks from my playlist: ​ “Dead to Me ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/wnh2hghqp96do9u7/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpYy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PXNxbEdzSVJHaVNRJnNpPXo4TmVJUngyQWpHa2xFcmU= )” (YouTube ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/wnh2hghqp96do9u7/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpYy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbS93YXRjaD92PXNxbEdzSVJHaVNRJnNpPXo4TmVJUngyQWpHa2xFcmU= ), Spotify ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/reh8hohmr9zp52u2/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3RyYWNrLzVkeDk1akhtRU1TdmJxNEV5RzJQZWU= ), Apple Music ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/08hwh9h250r479cl/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpYy5hcHBsZS5jb20vZ2Ivc29uZy9kZWFkLXRvLW1lLzE2NTcxMzc2NjU= )) by TINAMINA ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/8ghqhohoven853hk/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9ha2F0aW5hbWluYS8= ). Anglo-Korean R&B.

Ukrainian shapeshifting? Be sure to listen to the first two minutes for the surprise transformation. It’s no joke, and she sounds the same in live performances. As commenter @davidacus956 put it, “I heard this on Spotify and was like ‘I like the distinction between the two vocalists’ and then I watched this.”   --------------------- Blog post I’m reading --------------------- “Getting closer to Her: From Moshi to Thinking Machines Interaction Model ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/m2h7h5h3pkzxnnsm/aHR0cHM6Ly9wb2x5bWF0aDcwNy5zdWJzdGFjay5jb20vcC9nZXR0aW5nLWNsb3Nlci10by1oZXItZnJvbS1tb3NoaQ== ).” How do we actually get to the Scarlett Johansson companion in the movie Her ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/dpheh0hegznx7qfm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9IZXItSm9hcXVpbi1QaG9lbml4L2RwL0IwMEtBVFkyNTAvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw )? ​ From the above piece: “Real-time voice assistants [have been] small and dumb because anything bigger could not respond inside a human’s patience window. Frontier reasoning models [have been] astonishing in benchmark tables, but their real-time voice versions [feel lacking].” ​ So what to do? Sure, you can try and cascade models together, but then you’re “adding latency, each handoff losing context, each silence between turns reminding you that you were talking to a machine.” ​ Diving back into the blog post: ​ ​The interaction-model / background-model ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/e0hph7h7g9ozn0c8/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90aGlua3ltYWNoaW5lcy9zdGF0dXMvMjA1MzkzODg5MjE1MjQzNTE3ND9zPTIw ) split is the first credible answer to that triangle. By assigning the two halves of intelligence to different hardware on different latency budgets, the architecture sidesteps the trade-off rather than negotiating with it. The half that has to be present is allowed to be small, fast, multimodal, and continuously attentive — five times a second, no exceptions. The half that has to be smart is free to be enormous, slow, deliberative, and tool-using, because it is never on the critical path of the 200ms cadence. Neither side is asked to compromise on what it is good at. The user experiences both, fused. ​ What does that unlock concretely? Consider the experiences that have been technically promised for a decade and have never quite worked: ​ ​… ​ ​A cooking companion that watches your hands through your phone camera, calls out that the onions are about to burn, and pulls up a substitute when you realise you’re out of cumin — without any of those interactions feeling like separate apps. The visual perception is handled in the 200ms loop. The recipe knowledge, the substitution reasoning, the meal-planning context lives in the background. ​ ... ​ A workplace assistant that is actually in the meeting with you, not transcribing it for later. It can interject with the relevant figure when someone mis-cites a number, surface the Slack thread that supersedes a decision being re-debated, and do all of that without the awkward “OK assistant, are you there?” preamble that makes today’s tools feel like talking to a Roomba. ​ … ​ The pattern is the same in every case: the experience becomes natural when being there and being smart stop competing for the same compute budget. ​ … ​ This is what people mean when they say voice is the next interface. It was never really about voice. It was about whether intelligence could show up in the room without making you wait for it. The split architecture ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/e0hph7h7g9ozn0c8/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90aGlua3ltYWNoaW5lcy9zdGF0dXMvMjA1MzkzODg5MjE1MjQzNTE3ND9zPTIw ) is the first proof that it can. ​ ​Be sure to peruse the entire piece. ​ Not to sound like Yogi Berra ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/7qh7h8h97v5e49fz/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvWW9naV9CZXJyYSMlMjJZb2dpLWlzbXMlMjI= ), but the future is coming a lot sooner than expected.   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “The first objective was to give as many students as possible an early sense of achievement within the first half hour. Using one of his many heuristic techniques—described as ‘mental hooks’—[Michel Thomas ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/owhkhqhwv3de8giv/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvTWljaGVsX1Rob21hcw== )] demonstrated to the class that they already possessed a French vocabulary of as many as three thousand words or more. And that these were not ‘baby’ words, but complex adult words, so they did not have to begin learning as children. He pointed out that most English words ending in -tion, -able, -ence and -ism were the same in French (condition, capable, experience, realism). And that many English words ending in ‘y’ had an ‘e’ in French: fraternity, paternity, liberty and so on.” ​— The Test of Courage ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/z2hghnhev9xzdwap/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9UZXN0LUNvdXJhZ2UtQmlvZ3JhcGh5LU5hemktSHVudGVyLUNocmlzdG9waGVyLWVib29rL2RwL0IwMDcxTUIwMjIvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw ) by Christopher Robbins ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/p8heh9h40koe78iq/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9zdG9yZXMvQ2hyaXN0b3BoZXItUm9iYmlucy9hdXRob3IvQjAwMzRPWU1CVy8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjAmY2NzX2lkPTY0NWVlMTA1LTIwYjMtNDJjNS04ZDMyLWZkNDQ5YWI4NmRjYQ== )​ You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my very first interview with Jerzy ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/x0hph6he680m7kh5/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE3LzAzLzE2L2plcnp5LWdyZWdvcmVrLz91dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmY= ), which also features investor Naval Ravikant, who originally introduced me to Jerzy. ​ And, as always, please give me feedback on X.

My current hands-down favorite, and the easiest way to get back in the habit, is ​The Way​, taught by Zen Master Henry Shukman. Using the app for just 10–20 minutes a day has reduced my anxiety more than I would have thought possible with any app. Try it for a week, and I think you’ll notice something similar. Here are 30 sessions for free ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/25h2hoh3zrwxezi3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= )​. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​The Way ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpelgwztxh696x64ku5h704/25h2hoh3zrwxezi3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= )​ leads you down a single, long-term path that covers all the key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. It’s an easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always a listener favorite.

From the subheading: “Dwarkesh Patel ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/l2hehmhl78q420t6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vYy9Ed2Fya2VzaFBhdGVs ) was a bored college sophomore looking for intellectual stimulation. Now he commands interviews with Jensen Huang and Mark Zuckerberg and holds his own with deeply nerdy A.I. researchers.” ​ But how did Dwarkesh get started? Good old-fashioned chutzpah, combined with good writing: ​ ​Mr. Patel recorded the first episode of “The Lunar Society,” his original name for the podcast, from his dorm room at the University of Texas at Austin in 2020, during the early months of the Covid pandemic, when he was 19. He was taking online classes, bored, and thirsty for intellectual engagement. So he did what any normal college sophomore might do and cold-emailed Bryan Caplan, a member of George Mason University’s famously libertarian economics department. In the email, he described how three Caplan books had shifted his perspective on immigration, education and how many children to have. Mr. Caplan responded encouragingly, and after a further friendly exchange, Mr. Patel asked if he could interview him for a podcast. ​ … ​ Besides the podcast, which at the time was largely focused on economics and history, Mr. Patel wrote blog posts that he now calls “insight porn.” “The Mystery of the Miracle Year,” which he published four months after graduating college, explored how Albert Einstein, among others, did most of his greatest work within a 12-month span. The post ended with an appeal to free “smart twentysomethings” from “rote menial work, prevent them from being overexposed to the current paradigm.” Viewing conventional wisdom and middle-class drudgery as impediments to innovation is the kind of self-validating thesis tech entrepreneurs love. Within two days of its posting, the Y Combinator co-founder Paul Graham and the venture capitalist Marc Andreessen would both tweet links to the essay. More consequentially, Mr. Patel became the 42nd person Jeff Bezos was following on Twitter. He tweeted about this in wonderment. “You’re thoughtful and thought-provoking,” Mr. Bezos replied. “Gratitude. Please keep it up!” In 48 hours, Mr. Patel’s Twitter followers went from 800 to 14,000. His mother wondered whether he could ask Mr. Bezos for a job.   ----------------------- Tide shift I’m tracking ----------------------- “Could At-Home Brain Stimulation Reduce Psychiatry’s Reliance on S.S.R.I.s?

One group is proposing the creation of a new insurance code so that doctors can be reimbursed for helping patients get off medications. Another is developing a clinical tool to help doctors ascertain whether a patient is a good candidate for deprescribing.”   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “[Michael Levin ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/p8heh9h4onrd6zcq/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAxLzIxL2RyLW1pY2hhZWwtbGV2aW4vP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZg== )] agrees with the plant neurobiologists that neurons are overrated, and that other cells can do what neurons do, just more slowly. ‘Whenever I’m at a conference with neuroscientists, I like to ask them to define a neuron,’ he told me. ‘They list maybe five things neurons can do, and I point out that every cell in the body can do those things.’ By which he means, and has demonstrated, that all cells can communicate (both electrically and chemically), form networks, and store information. ‘I’m not denigrating neuroscience,’ he said. ‘I’m saying neuroscience is widely applicable way beyond neurons. Neuroscience is no more about neurons than computer science is about your laptop.’ The term ‘plant neurobiology’ does not offend him.” ​— Michael Pollan ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/x0hph6he05kz2eu5/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIxLzA2LzI4L21pY2hhZWwtcG9sbGFuLXRoaXMtaXMteW91ci1taW5kLW9uLXBsYW50cy8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJm ), A World Appears ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/6qheh8hlemxwrnto/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9Xb3JsZC1BcHBlYXJzLUpvdXJuZXktaW50by1Db25zY2lvdXNuZXNzL2RwLzE5ODQ4ODE5OVgvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw ) You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with a new episode of the “How to Simplify Your Life” miniseries on the podcast ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/kkhmh6hnvkzewmul/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzA1LzA2L2hvdy10by1zaW1wbGlmeS15b3VyLWxpZmUtMy8_dXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJm ), featuring advice from Anne Lamott, Claire Hughes Johnson, David Yarrow, and Diana Chapman. ​ And, as always, please give me feedback on X.

They buy your phone, email, and lifestyle details from data brokers, then hunt for the people who are the most attractive targets or the most likely to fall for a given scam. The BBC has caught scam call centers on hidden camera, and one worker bragged about pulling $250,000 from people in the US and UK. It’s big, and often organized, business. ​ That's why I recommend Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/kkhmh6hnvkzermtl/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ). It scrubs your data from hundreds of broker sites and keeps doing it as new ones pop up. In other words: no babysitting from you required. You cannot stop scammers from existing, but you can make it a lot harder for them to find and target you. It’s a good idea to take control of your personal data before someone else does. ​ ​Incogni is offering 60% off their annual subscription when you add code TIMTIM at checkout ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/zluog309e2inhkve7d9tphwlld4z8h6h687/kkhmh6hnvkzermtl/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ).

My current hands-down favorite, and the easiest way to get back in the habit, is ​The Way​, taught by Zen Master Henry Shukman. Using the app for just 10–20 minutes a day has reduced my anxiety more than I would have thought possible with any app. Try it for a week, and I think you’ll notice something similar. Here are 30 sessions for free​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/mvue7vnz8rc5hqpq27ofmhrx2z0w9u3hlr9/dpheh0henvk7goim/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ The Way​ leads you down a single, long-term path that covers all the key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. It’s an easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always a listener favorite. I recently chose to invest in The Way, given all the above, and I’ve been working with Henry and his team to make the app as good as humanly possible. I’ve probably sent a hundred notes on the product, and they’ve been improving it each and every week. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Now, subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday can try 30 sessions for free, no credit card required. Just go to TheWayApp.com/Tim ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/mvue7vnz8rc5hqpq27ofmhrx2z0w9u3hlr9/reh8hohmz475r6i2/aHR0cDovL3RoZXdheWFwcC5jb20vVGlt )​.

I've seen this movie at least five times over the past 25 years. It’s a wonderful, feel-good movie, and it will make you *very* hungry.

This piece has a good fine-slicing of the religion of techno-optimism, which is reframed as creation. His description of the various religious factions is very good, and I hadn’t seen it put so succinctly before. One important footnote: read the comments. I’m sharing this article for the thought-provoking comments as much as I am for the piece itself.

Many of you have requested more 4-Hour Workweek Case Studies—conversations with people who have read the book, applied it, and built lives and businesses I never could have imagined.​ ​ ​Brian Dean—today’s guest—has a story that starts exactly where a lot of great stories start: broke, directionless, and eating canned beef stew in his dad’s basement during the 2008 financial crisis. ​ He picked up a copy of The 4-Hour Workweek ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh6ddvgktvhqe2p99rcoh75d/z2hghnhex8z2lpup/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS80LUhvdXItV29ya3dlZWstRXNjYXBlLUxpdmUtQW55d2hlcmUvZHAvMDMwNzQ2NTM1Ny8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ) and took action. As is nearly always the case, his path wasn’t a straight line, but a series of winding turns, all fed by experiments. Today’s episode covers geoarbitrage, testing assumptions cheaply, building a muse, automating income, and—the chapter almost everyone skips—filling the void. His journey includes failures, two successful exits, and a hard-won answer to the question most people never think to ask: what do you actually do with your freedom once you have it? ​ But who is Brian? ​​ Brian Dean is the founder of Backlinko ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh6ddvgktvhqe2p99rcoh75d/x0hph6he0lmvqxf5/aHR0cHM6Ly9iYWNrbGlua28uY29tLw== ) and Exploding Topics ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh6ddvgktvhqe2p99rcoh75d/6qheh8hled489xto/aHR0cHM6Ly9leHBsb2Rpbmd0b3BpY3MuY29tLw== ), both acquired by Semrush, which itself was recently acquired by Adobe for $1.9 billion. ​ ​P.S.

If so, this may be worth a look.

Fiber. And ~95% ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h2om27ncqhpqn6q6ohrhv8r/48hvhehm89rmrkux/aHR0cHM6Ly9wbWMubmNiaS5ubG0ubmloLmdvdi9hcnRpY2xlcy9QTUM2MTI0ODQxLw== ) of Americans don’t get enough of it. It’s one of the meta-nutrients I’ve revisited and pulled on the most in the last two years. Fiber isn’t just about “staying regular”—it supports digestion, helps moderate your blood-sugar balance, and feeds the gut bacteria that support your immune system. Of course, I focus on whole foods first, but I also take quality supplements as added insurance for chaotic days, travel, and more. ​ That’s where Momentous Fiber+ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/p9u9exq6rzi9h2om27ncqhpqn6q6ohrhv8r/m2h7h5h3z983owhm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vcHJvZHVjdHMvZmliZXItcGx1cz91dG1fc291cmNlPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXImdXRtX21lZGl1bT1zcG9uY29uJnV0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj10aW01YmYmdXRtX2NvbnRlbnQ9ZmliZXI= ) comes in. It’s a three-source blend—soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and resistant starch. It’s designed to support your gut from multiple angles with a formula built to “The Momentous Standard”: real science, meticulous sourcing, and rigorous certification (NSF Certified for Sport). You can be confident that what’s on the label is what’s in the product. It mixes smoothly into water, smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt, and comes unflavored or in a natural cinnamon flavor for an extra kick with no artificial sweeteners.

5-Bullet Friday — Air Purifiers, Books, Docs, TMS for Depression, and More

a {text-decoration: none;} *************** 5-Bullet Friday ***************   The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/08hwh9h2eprooxbl/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8= )     Hi All!   Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring. I added an extra bullet to scratch a ridiculous itch.   This issue is brought to you by Incogni ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/8ghqhohod7n00puk/aHR0cHM6Ly9kZWFsLmluY29nbmkuaW8vYWZmX2M_b2ZmZXJfaWQ9NiZhZmZfaWQ9MTk0OSZ1cmxfaWQ9MTk2 ), which automatically removes your personal information from the web, helping to keep you safe online and off. Data protection is fast becoming a necessity these days and not a luxury.

I’ve been experimenting a lot with headsets that do not go in the ears. While noise-cancelling AirPods and the like are still best for loud environments, I’ve had a few ear infections and a lot of discomfort over the years. These SHOKZ were recommended by polymath Elan Lee ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/z2hghnhe6mx440fp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj11emdnbkM1Snd0cw== ), who uses them mostly on his laptop and desktop. I tend to use them when walking and listening to podcasts, or when using Wispr Flow ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/p8heh9h46po33rcq/aHR0cHM6Ly93aXNwcmZsb3cuYWkv ) to braindump long drafts into a text file, which I then drop into an LLM for fine tuning (e.g., “Edit this into an email of The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/x0hph6he240rroc5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS8xNS1Db21taXRtZW50cy1Db25zY2lvdXMtTGVhZGVyc2hpcC1TdXN0YWluYWJsZS9kcC8wOTkwOTc2OTA0Lz90YWc9b2Zmc2l0b2Z0aW1mZS0yMA== )”).   ----------------------------------------------- What I’m watching again to prep for deeper work ----------------------------------------------- ​Philip Roth: Unmasked ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/6qheh8hlr3ekkrso/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9QaGlsaXAtUm90aC1Vbm1hc2tlZC9kcC9CMDBDM1dEM1hPLz90YWc9b2Zmc2l0b2Z0aW1mZS0yMA== ). I greatly enjoyed this deep dive into the life, craft, and humor of Philip Roth. My quest to learn more about Philip was sparked by Joyce Carol Oates ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/58hvh7hgx42vv8t6/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIxLzAyLzEwL2pveWNlLWNhcm9sLW9hdGVzLz91dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJmJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQ= ), one of the most decorated and prodigious American writers of the last century, who spoke about him during our podcast together ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/58hvh7hgx42vv8t6/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIxLzAyLzEwL2pveWNlLWNhcm9sLW9hdGVzLz91dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJmJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQ= ). Here’s the official description of this interview-rich documentary: “American Masters explores the life and career of Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning novelist Philip Roth ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhx03878a6h64gvpkqilhdnq/25h2hoh39qwvvps3/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvUGhpbGlwX1JvdGg= ), often referred to as the greatest living American writer.

That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of.” ​— C. S.

Fiber isn’t just about “staying regular”; it’s one of the most overlooked meta-nutrients for everyday health and fitness. It supports digestion, helps keep blood sugar stable, and feeds critical gut bacteria that affect nearly every aspect of life. I focus on whole foods first, but I also take quality supplements as cheap insurance for chaotic days, travel, and more. Momentous Fiber+ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh6d7vrmfvhqw6dk8dtoh75d/qvh8h7hdw9p4vwcl/aHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlbW9tZW50b3VzLmNvbS9UaW0= ) makes it easy. It supports your gut from multiple angles as a three-source blend: soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and resistant starch. It mixes smoothly into water, smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt, and it comes unflavored or in a natural cinnamon. Fiber+ is NSF Certified for Sport®, which means it’s independently tested. So what’s on the label is what’s in the product. If you’re dialing in your nutrition but lacking fiber, this is a simple fix.

a {text-decoration: none;} *************** 5-Bullet Friday ***************   The latest from author and investor Tim Ferriss ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/p8heh9h46ork7rbq/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8= )     Hi All!   Here is your weekly dose of 5-Bullet Friday, a list of what I’m pondering and exploring.   This edition is brought to you by Our Place, makers of the ​Titanium Always Pan Pro​​​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/x0hph6he20k87ot5/aHR0cHM6Ly9mcm9tb3VycGxhY2UuY29tL3BhZ2VzL3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj1USU0tZW1haWwmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1wb2RjYXN0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9YXVkaW8= ), my go-to cooking pan​. Most nonstick pans can release PFAS, also referred to as “forever chemicals,” and I prefer to dodge the toxins. Read more in the P.S.   ---------------- What I’m reading ---------------- “How A.I. Helped One Man (and His Brother) Build a $1.8 Billion Company ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/6qheh8hlrexv2rfo/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNi8wNC8wMi90ZWNobm9sb2d5L2FpLWJpbGxpb24tZG9sbGFyLWNvbXBhbnktbWVkdmkuaHRtbA== ).” (The New York Times). ​ ​From his house in Los Angeles, Mr. Gallagher, 41, used A.I. to write the code for the software that powers his company, produce the website copy, generate the images and videos for ads and handle customer service. He created A.I. systems to analyze his business’s performance. And he outsourced the other stuff he couldn’t do himself. ​ His start-up, Medvi, a telehealth provider of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, got 300 customers in its first month. In its second month, it gained 1,000 more. In 2025, Medvi’s first full year in business, the company generated $401 million in sales. ​ Mr. Gallagher then hired his only employee, his younger brother, Elliot. This year, they are on track to do $1.8 billion in sales.   ---------------------------------- ​​Article and science I’m tracking ---------------------------------- “Tobacco plant altered to produce five psychedelic drugs ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/kkhmh6hnwvzg9vil/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV3c2NpZW50aXN0LmNvbS9hcnRpY2xlLzI1MjEzMzgtdG9iYWNjby1wbGFudC1hbHRlcmVkLXRvLXByb2R1Y2UtZml2ZS1wc3ljaGVkZWxpYy1kcnVncy8= )” (New Scientist). Scientists at the Weizmann Institute ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/58hvh7hgx23p98i6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvV2Vpem1hbm5fSW5zdGl0dXRlX29mX1NjaWVuY2U= ) genetically engineered a single tobacco plant to produce five psychedelic compounds—including psilocybin, DMT, and 5-MeO-DMT—using a technique that temporarily introduces genes from mushrooms, plants, and even the Colorado River toad. The approach could offer a simpler, more sustainable alternative to chemical synthesis for producing psychedelics for therapeutic research. For pairing and background, you can read my older article titled “An Urgent Plea to Users of Psychedelics: Let’s Consider a More Ethical Menu of Plants and Compounds ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/25h2hoh39wlroph3/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIxLzAyLzIxL3VyZ2VudC1wbGVhLXVzZXJzLW9mLXBzeWNoZWRlbGljcy1ldGhpY2FsLXBsYW50cy1jb21wb3VuZHMvP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA== ).”   ----------------- What I’m watching ----------------- ​The Big Sick ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/qvh8h7hdwpeg69il/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9CaWctU2ljay1LdW1haWwtTmFuamlhbmkvZHAvQjA4OVhZQkxKVi8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ). If you’re looking for a very funny and smart movie, this is what the doctor ordered (pun intended). It scores 98% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer. Here’s the description: “The Big Sick is based on the real-life courtship between Pakistan-born comedian Kumail Nanjiani ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/g3hnh5hm9wg7zqcr/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvS3VtYWlsX05hbmppYW5p ) and Emily Gordon ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/9qhzhnhdwr4k2et9/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRW1pbHlfVi5fR29yZG9u ), who fall in love but struggle as their cultures clash. When Emily contracts a mysterious illness, Kumail finds himself forced to face her feisty parents, his family’s expectations, and his true feelings.” I found this movie while looking for the best comedy screenplays online, which took me to this page ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/3ohphkh3mgx6d8tr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2NyaXB0cmVhZGVycHJvLmNvbS9iZXN0LWNvbWVkeS1zY3JpcHRzLw== ).   -------------------------- Book excerpt I’m pondering -------------------------- “‘If Thinking Big accomplishes so much, why doesn’t everyone think that way?’ I’ve been asked that question many times. Here, I believe, is the answer. All of us, more than we recognize, are products of the thinking around us. And much of this thinking is little, not big.” ​— From The Magic of Thinking Big ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/n2hohvhvq02wodu6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9NYWdpYy1UaGlua2luZy1CaWctU2VjcmV0LVN1Y2Nlc3MvZHAvMDU5MzcxMzIzMC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ) by David J.

Lord Takanobu said, ‘If discrimination is long, it will spoil.’ Lord Naoshige said, ‘When matters are done leisurely, seven out of ten will turn out badly. A warrior is a person who does things quickly.’ When your mind is going hither and thither, discrimination will never be brought to a conclusion. With an intense, fresh and undelaying spirit, one will make his judgments within the space of seven breaths. It is a matter of being determined and having the spirit to break right through to the other side.” ​—Yamamoto Tsunetomo ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/reh8hohmdzk9q3i2/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvWWFtYW1vdG9fVHN1bmV0b21v ), Japanese samurai and writer You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my podcast episode on “The Fundamental Four,” ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/08hwh9h2ern0mxfl/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE5LzEyLzA5L3RpbS1mZXJyaXNzLXJlY29tbWVuZGVkLWJvb2tzLz91dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJmJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQ= ) the books I had originally recommended in the back of The 4-Hour Workweek ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hp0png7f5h2d3kd7mcnhzk2/8ghqhohodnwegpuk/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS80LUhvdXItV29ya3dlZWstRXNjYXBlLUxpdmUtQW55d2hlcmUvZHAvMDMwNzQ2NTM1Ny8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ). ​ And, as always, please give me feedback on X.

Teflon is an example; it is the forever chemical that most companies are still using. Exposure to PFAS has been linked to health issues like gut microbiome disruption, testosterone dysregulation, and more, which have been correlated to chronic disease in the long term.

Data protection is fast becoming a necessity these days and not a luxury. Be sure to check out their offer in the P.S.   --------------------- What I’m listening to --------------------- “Tres Deseos - Sesiones de Estudio (En Vivo) ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/g3hnh5hm9pqz52ur/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1BdHlsYl9ZY0owZw== )” by Churupaca ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/9qhzhnhdw952m7t9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9jaHVydXBhY2FvZmljaWFsLw== ). If you listen to this a few times, it will get stuck in your head… and that’s a good thing. Find the lyrics in the video description.   ----------------------- What I’m watching again ----------------------- “Kurt Vonnegut on how to write a short story ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/3ohphkh3mzpd56hr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1ubVZjSWhudlN4OA== ).” There are some exceptional gems in this 2-minute video. Most of the rules apply to good nonfiction writing, too, IMHO.   ------------------- Person I’m studying ------------------- ​Albert Ellis ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/n2hohvhvqr7o98s6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQWxiZXJ0X0VsbGlz ). “Albert Ellis was an American psychologist and psychotherapist who founded rational emotive behavior therapy ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/48hvhehmlgx2dpcx/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvUmF0aW9uYWxfZW1vdGl2ZV9iZWhhdmlvcl90aGVyYXB5 ) (REBT). … He is generally considered to be one of the originators of the cognitive revolutionary paradigm shift in psychotherapy and an early proponent and developer of cognitive-behavioral therapies.”   ----------------- Film I’m watching ----------------- ​Wolfwalkers ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hlvrzlqa8h8op6q4xslhk40/wnh2hghq7g0o24c7/aHR0cHM6Ly90di5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvbW92aWUvd29sZndhbGtlcnMvdW1jLmNtYy5hbXVvcTAwaHFlbGZpOThqMGd2ZzY0MXg= ). I watched this with a friend’s family, several young kids included, and we all loved it.

I hope it helps drive the science and conversation forward. ​ On one hand, the “neuroplastogen” approach is often driven by business and financial incentives. If you can remove the hallucinations from psychedelics, your ability to fit within current medical structures (take-home meds, easier insurance reimbursement, etc.) helps you to scale, scale, scale. And if someone can make millions or billions of dollars by sticking to their hypothesis, expect conflicts of interest and a biased path, even with the best of intentions. To quote Charlie Munger: “Show me the incentive, and I will show you the outcome.” ​ On the other hand, I completely agree with David Olson when he says “If you absolutely need the hallucinogenic effects, then these new compounds are not going to be the revolution in psychiatry that people are hoping they will be.” At least, not likely at the scale of millions of patients per year. ​ If I were a betting man, I’d say that the set and setting—and, indeed, the trip content itself—seems to matter for applying psychedelics to certain conditions like PTSD and alcohol-use disorder. Otherwise, we’d all have friends with spontaneous remission of these conditions when using drugs recreationally. Personally, I have never witnessed this being the case, but I’d be happy to be proven wrong. ​ At the same time, I’m funding research into the anti-inflammatory effects of certain psychedelics, which are profound, even at miniscule doses. I do think the “content matters” folks too easily dismiss the incredible physiological changes attributable to these compounds. So to take the opposite stance, I believe that conditions like treatment-resistant depression and chronic anxiety disorder may not always need the trip. It could be that most such cases never need a trip. The jury is out. ​ We can all get attached to the binary extremes. As usual, the truth is more likely somewhere in the middle.   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.” ​— Václav Havel ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/38udp7lem4ikh2m0057brh4pv3808a7hegz/l2hehmhl2zdq5eb6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvViVDMyVBMWNsYXZfSGF2ZWw= ) (1936–2011), Czech writer and statesman, president of the Czech Republic from 1993 to 2003, from Disturbing the Peace: A Conversation with Karel Hvížďala. ​(Click to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/38udp7lem4ikh2m0057brh4pv3808a7hegz/m2h7h5h357l2k5sm/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvVURoYlY= ).)

My current hands-down favorite, and the easiest way to get back in the habit, is ​The Way​, taught by Zen Master Henry Shukman. Using the app for just 10–20 minutes a day has reduced my anxiety more than I would have thought possible with any app. Try it for a week, and I think you’ll notice something similar. Here are 30 sessions for free​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/38udp7lem4ikh2m0057brh4pv3808a7hegz/x0hph6he2l4xgms5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudGhld2F5YXBwLmNvbS90aW0= ). ​ ​ ​ ​ The Way​ leads you down a single, long-term path that covers all the key areas of a deep and fulfilling meditation practice. It’s an easy and calming way to find more ease and calm. There’s no overwhelming menu of stuff or meditation du jour, just Henry taking you on a logical progression of lessons, one manageable bite at a time. You’ll be learning skills you can actually take into your daily life. Henry’s sessions will become something you look forward to. He’s appeared on my podcast twice and is always a listener favorite. I recently chose to invest in The Way, given all the above, and I’ve been working with Henry and his team to make the app as good as humanly possible. I’ve probably sent a hundred notes on the product, and they’ve been improving it each and every week. ​ ​ ​ ​Now, subscribers to 5-Bullet Friday can try 30 sessions for free, no credit card required.

This was introduced to me by a James Beard Award-winning chef, who explained how it’s totally different from anything you’d typically buy at a grocery store in the US. It’s a naturally brewed soy sauce, meaning it’s produced using the traditional microbial fermentation process rather than chemical hydrolysis.

I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and didn’t get paid to do so. I focus on nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG1 further covers the nutritional gaps in my diet for less than $3.00 per day. I have always admired AG1’s commitment to improving one product over many years, which is why I am excited about their latest upgrade: AG1 Next Gen ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/0vu9wolpk2i9h9e2036hzav8372plinhpq8/7qh7h8h9lvrmw2hz/aHR0cHM6Ly9kcmlua2FnMS5jb20vdGlt ). It’s the same—but improved—single-scoop, once-a-day product to support your mental clarity, immune health, and energy. AG1 is NSF Certified for Sport, one of the most rigorous independent quality and safety certification programs. After consuming this product for 12 years, I chose to invest in AG1 in 2021, as I trust their no-compromise approach to ingredient sourcing and appreciate their focus on continuously improving one formula. ​ ​ ​There is no better time than today to start a new, healthy habit, so take advantage of this exclusive offer for 5-Bullet Friday readers: a free 1-year supply of liquid vitamin D + 3 travel packs with your subscription ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/0vu9wolpk2i9h9e2036hzav8372plinhpq8/7qh7h8h9lvrmw2hz/aHR0cHM6Ly9kcmlua2FnMS5jb20vdGlt ).     Forwarded this message?

I focus on whole foods first, but I also take quality supplements as cheap insurance for chaotic days, travel, and more. Momentous Fiber+ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/n4u3oz5p07tvhxqkl6qsea6wrlzw8hlhdnq/p8heh9h4mpnx6gcq/aHR0cHM6Ly9saXZlbW9tZW50b3VzLmNvbS9UaW0= ) makes it easy. It supports your gut from multiple angles as a three-source blend: soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and resistant starch. It mixes smoothly into water, smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt, and it comes unflavored or in a natural cinnamon. Fiber+ is NSF Certified for Sport®, which means it’s independently tested. So what’s on the label is what’s in the product. If you’re dialing in your nutrition but lacking fiber, this is a simple fix.

This brand-new track is a collaboration between Belgian singer-songwriter Angèle and Grammy-winning, French electronic music duo Justice. The one and only time I saw Justice perform, at the jaw-dropping Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado, it was undisputedly the best concert experience of my life. For the track that started it all for me, check out “Genesis” (Original ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/48hvhehmv44medhx/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3RyYWNrLzR3U21xRmczMXQ2THNRV3R6WUFKb2I= ) first, then “Genesis x Phantom (WWW) ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/wnh2hghqneeqpef7/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3RyYWNrLzdHVFphMTc3M2ZhU1l5YlJkR0RJams= )”).   ----------------- What I’m enjoying ----------------- ​Lost Pines Light Roast Yaupon Tea — loose leaf, 2 oz. ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/reh8hohm4ggmr6i2/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9Mb3N0LVBpbmVzLVlhdXBvbi1UZWEtY2FmZmVpbmF0ZWQvZHAvQjA3NTM5NTdCSC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ) Yaupon holly is one of only two caffeinated plants native to North America. Though technically not a true tea (it’s not camellia sinensis), it was widely consumed by Indigenous peoples long before European contact. It has been enjoying a revival, especially in Texas. Yaupon’s caffeine content is similar to green tea, and it also contains theobromine, which some of you may recognize from cacao / dark chocolate. Just as with yerba mate, this combination gives me a smoother, less anxious energy curve than coffee. It’s very neutral and not bitter at all. Despite its unfortunate Latin name, Ilex vomitoria, I’m enjoying experimenting with it.   ---------------- What I’m sharing ---------------- “America's biotech edge is slipping to China.

In fact, he was arguably the bridge between the San Francisco counterculture of the 60s and present-day Silicon Valley: in his commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005, Steve Jobs eulogised the Whole Earth Catalog and Brand’s philosophy, and echoed its farewell mantra: “Stay hungry. Stay foolish.” ​ You could say that Brand has also lived big and long. He is now 87 years old, in the final chapters of an eventful and adventurous life that has crossed paths with some of the most consequential events and figures of his era. He has been a writer, an editor, a publisher, a soldier, a photojournalist, an LSD evangelist, an events organiser, a future-planning consultant, even a government adviser…​ ​ Oh, and when I interviewed him ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/z2hghnhenqqe2dsp/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE3LzExLzIxL3N0ZXdhcnQtYnJhbmQvP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA== ), he was 78 years old and still doing CrossFit twice a week.   ----------------------------- What I’m thinking a lot about ----------------------------- “The Self-Help Trap: What 20+ Years of ‘Optimizing’ Has Taught Me ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/o8uwkpgxvriqh69n2xpc5aqwgk68xsoh75d/p8heh9h4mnn4w9bq/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAzLzA0L3RoZS1zZWxmLWhlbHAtdHJhcC8_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0 ).”   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “The luminous and shocking beauty of the everyday is something I try to remain alert to, if only as an antidote to the chronic cynicism and disenchantment that seems to surround everything, these days.

All we can do is to learn the art of being irrational in a reasonable way.”​ ​— Aldous Huxley, Island It was cold out, but none of us were cold. ​ I sat with five men in the mountains of Montana. As the sun set, the fire in the center cast dancing light on our faces. Reclined against fallen trees in a tight circle, we ate mushrooms and fish we’d found under trees and along streams. The whole crew burst into laughter yet again, and one of the guides passed around a fresh batch of pine needle tea. ​ Bathed in warmth, I took off a layer and glanced skyward through an opening in the trees. The stars shone like crystals on black velvet, and the show—the biggest meteor shower of the year—was starting. ​ In that moment, there was nothing to do. Nothing to improve. Nothing to fix. ​ It was perfect. *** The older I get, the more I think that self-help can be a trap. Sometimes the cure is worse than the disease. I say this after ~20 years of writing self-help and a lifetime of consuming it. ​ Spend enough time in the world of “improvement,” and you’ll notice something strange: The people most obsessed with self-help are often the least helped by it. Behind the smiles and motivational quotes, behind closed doors and after a drink or two, the truth is that they’re not able to outsmart their worries. ​ On one hand, perhaps this unhappiness is precisely what lands one in self-development in the first place, right? I long assumed this about myself, and it’s partially true. ​ On the other hand, what if self-help itself is actually creating or amplifying unhappiness? ​ ​Modern self-help contains an in-built flaw:​ ​ ​To continually improve yourself, you must continually locate the ways you are broken. ​CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING...

Don’t discount him because of neck circumference. I’ve been quietly watching his videos over the last few months, and this Robby Robinson analysis showcases a lot of the reasons why.   ------------------------------- John Connor prep that I’m doing ------------------------------- “My lobster lost $450,000 this weekend ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/l2hehmhleqg2xwh6/aHR0cHM6Ly9wYXNocGFzaHBhc2guc3Vic3RhY2suY29tL3AvbXktbG9ic3Rlci1sb3N0LTQ1MDAwMC10aGlzLXdlZWtlbmQ= ).” ​ ​“​​Man accidentally gains control of 7,000 robot vacuums ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/m2h7h5h3v2r542am/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucG9wc2NpLmNvbS90ZWNobm9sb2d5L3JvYm90LXZhY3V1bS1hcm15Lw== ).” (Popular Science).

While I still occasionally consume it, I have strongly dialed back the dosages and frequency. I treat it more like a shot of moonshine and less like a nutritional supplement. ​ A new study was just published February 19th that further supports exercising caution: “Disparate Hepatic [Liver] Mitochondrial and Inflammatory Effects of Ketone Supplements ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/e0hph7h76mxvrvh8/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWRwaS5jb20vMjA3Mi02NjQzLzE4LzQvNjc1 ).” ​ As always, assume there is never a biological free lunch (read post here ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/7qh7h8h9qdgln5az/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI0LzAyLzAyL25vLWJpb2xvZ2ljYWwtZnJlZS1sdW5jaGVzLz91dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249NWJmJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09Y29udmVydGtpdCZ1dG1fc291cmNlPWNvbnZlcnRraXQ= )) and consider cycling off of your non-critical supplements periodically. All that said, speak to your doctor before changing any medications. Be safe out there!   -------------------- X thread I’m reading -------------------- “Going Founder Mode On Cancer ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/owhkhqhwpxz9qvav/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9FbGxpb3RIZXJzaGJlcmcvc3RhdHVzLzIwMTMzNDA3MzE5NjUxMjA5NTI= ).” After surgery, radiation, and brutal chemo failed to stop his cancer’s recurrence, co-founder of GitLab Sid Sijbrandij ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/z2hghnhen5g6l2ap/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9zeXRzZXM_bGFuZz1lbg== ) did what he knew best.

Sid assembled a team, built a system of maximal diagnostics using cutting-edge, single-cell sequencing, and pursued 10+ experimental therapies in parallel, which included a radioligand treatment in Germany that most patients would never find. His cancer is now undetectable.   --------------------- Passage I’m pondering --------------------- “I have always admired a man like the late Fred Fuller Shedd, who had a gift for stating an old truth in a new and picturesque way. While editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin and addressing a college graduating class, he asked: ‘How many of you have ever sawed wood? Let’s see your hands.’ Most of them had. Then he inquired: ‘How many of you have ever sawed sawdust?’ No hands went up. ‘Of course, you can’t saw sawdust!’ Mr. Shedd exclaimed. ‘It’s already sawed! And it’s the same with the past. When you start worrying about things that are over and done with, you’re merely trying to saw sawdust.’”​ — How to Stop Worrying and Start Living ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/dpheh0hevd36p2um/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9Ib3ctU3RvcC1Xb3JyeWluZy1TdGFydC1MaXZpbmcvZHAvMDY3MTAzNTk3NS8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ) by Dale Carnegie ​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/e0hph7h76mxvrza8/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRGFsZV9DYXJuZWdpZQ== )(Click to here to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/7qh7h8h9qdglngcz/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvaTkzWFk= ).)

Fiber isn’t just about “staying regular”; fiber is one of the most overlooked meta-nutrients for everyday health and fitness. In the last two years, fiber is one of the levers that I’ve revisited and pulled on the most. ​ It supports digestion, helps keep blood sugar stable, and feeds critical gut bacteria that affect nearly every aspect of life. Of course, I focus on whole foods first, but I also take quality supplements as cheap insurance for chaotic days, travel, and more. ​ ​Momentous Fiber+ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/4zuev34npdcehpv78l5cla6m8emnqa5h704/08hwh9h2vn8el2tl/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vZGlzY291bnQvdGltP3JlZGlyZWN0PSUyRnByb2R1Y3RzJTJGZmliZXItcGx1cyZ1dG1fY2FtcGFpZ249dGltNWJmJnV0bV9jb250ZW50PWZpYmVyJnV0bV9tZWRpdW09c3BvbmNvbiZ1dG1fc291cmNlPW5ld3NsZXR0ZXI= ) makes it easy. It’s designed to support your gut from multiple angles as a three-source blend: soluble fiber, insoluble fiber, and resistant starch. It mixes smoothly into water, smoothies, oatmeal, or yogurt, and it comes unflavored or in a natural cinnamon. No fillers, no sludge. Like every Momentous product, Fiber+ is NSF Certified for Sport®, which means it’s independently tested. What’s on the label is what’s in the product. If you’re dialing in your nutrition but lacking fiber, this is a simple fix.

Dozens of my most brilliant friends have recommended it, and I’ve tried valiantly, but I somehow fall short. The book chronicles the life of Robert Moses, a city planner who became the most powerful man in New York, shaping the city’s politics and infrastructure. ​ This podcast allowed me to salvage my self-respect and dive back into what I knew to be an incredible story worth exploring. It also reignited my desire to finish the book. ​ When I first listened, they were capped out at three episodes, but now they have 12, including more audio with Caro himself! That means I’m super excited to listen again from the start. ​ Listen on Apple Podcasts ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/x0hph6heow9ev0a5/aHR0cHM6Ly9wb2RjYXN0cy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvcG9kY2FzdC90aGUtcG93ZXItYnJva2VyLTEtcm9iZXJ0LWNhcm8vaWQzOTQ3NzUzMTg_aT0xMDAwNjQyMTk1NDE4 ), Spotify ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/6qheh8hlz7nl8gio/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL2VwaXNvZGUvNm5Sc3hDdTVuMFo4eEJGNjNPR0kxbj9kbHNpPTMyZjE5YTlkZDczZDRlOGEmbmQ9MSZzaT1GX0pZWEFmUVFpLW1KRHpPUjUxMUFB ), or wherever you get your podcasts.

It is called this because it specifically applies to the “final offer” format, where a panel must choose between the team’s salary offer and the player’s request. ​ Key details about baseball arbitration: ​ ​• Origin: Introduced in 1974 in the MLB to prevent holdouts. ​​ • Final Offer Mechanism: Unlike traditional arbitration, the panel cannot “split the baby ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/9qhzhnhd0pzdv7a9/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvSnVkZ2VtZW50X29mX1NvbG9tb24= )” or create a compromise number; they must choose one of the two submitted figures. ​​ • Process: Both sides submit a proposed salary, and a three-person panel selects the more reasonable offer. ​​ • Goal: The structure incentivizes both parties to submit reasonable numbers to avoid appearing unreasonable, often leading to a settlement before the hearing. ​ Due to this distinct “winner-takes-all” approach, it is often referred to in legal and ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) circles as “final offer arbitration” or “baseball arbitration.”​ ​ Also, from this page ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/3ohphkh30743e6sr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubWRycy5jb20vYmFzZWJhbGwtYXJiaXRyYXRpb24taXNudC1qdXN0LWZvci1iYXNlYmFsbC8jOn46dGV4dD1UbyUyMHNvbHZlJTIwdGhlJTIwcHJvYmxlbSUyMG9mLGl0JTIwZGVlbXMlMjBhJTIwcmVhc29uYWJsZSUyMGZpZ3VyZS4= ): ​ ​To my mind, the most significant advantage of baseball arbitration derives from its unique feature. Since the arbitrator is directed to choose the more reasonable of two figures, it forces each side to be reasonable, at least by their own reckoning. Unlike conventional arbitration, where arbitrators may be tempted to “split the baby,” thus driving the parties to extreme positions, baseball arbitration does just the opposite. ​ ... ​ On the basis of my (limited) experience, I have long believed that baseball arbitration has much to recommend it as a cost-efficient way to effect final resolution.   --------------------- Passage I’m pondering --------------------- “‘It’s dark because you’re trying too hard,’ said Susila. ‘Dark because you want it to be light. Remember what you used to tell me when I was a little girl. “Lightly, child, lightly. You’ve got to learn to do everything lightly. Think lightly, act lightly, feel lightly. Yes, feel lightly, even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them.” I was so preposterously serious in those days. … Lightly, lightly—it was the best advice ever given me. … So throw away all your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling.”​ — Aldous Huxley ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/n2hohvhvm36vz8i6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvQWxkb3VzX0h1eGxleQ== ), Island, 1962 (Click here to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/e5ulpz2kxws7hl6v8n3hea8onwzo4clhk40/48hvhehmvr6m4pux/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvVWVlaE0= ).)

This is a beautiful cover of the original, most famously recorded by The Animals, and like many folk songs, it is of uncertain authorship.   ------------------------ Documentary I’m watching ------------------------ ​Chaos: The Manson Murders ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/6qheh8hlx3r4ddco/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmV0ZmxpeC5jb20vdGl0bGUvODE0ODI4OTI= ). This is based on a book, CHAOS: Charles Manson, the CIA, and the Secret History of the Sixties ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/kkhmh6hnzowp39ul/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9DaGFvcy1DaGFybGVzLU1hbnNvbi1IaXN0b3J5LVNpeHRpZXMvZHAvMDMxNjQ3NzU0MC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ), by Tom O’Neill and Dan Piepenbring, which has been recommended to me by several close friends. The “chaos” in both titles refers to Operation CHAOS ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/25h2hoh3lq9xe2i3/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvT3BlcmF0aW9uX0NIQU9T ), a domestic spying program by the CIA. ​ I was going to skip this documentary, as I’ve seen prior docs on Manson and find the murders themselves horribly tragic but also uninteresting. I rarely watch true crime, as I come across enough darkness without consuming it as entertainment. ​ But then I learned it was made by the iconic Errol Morris (more below). Next, I realized that it focused on everything before the murders. Not only that, the archival footage and audio are incredible. ​ I’d known of the almost-certain overlap between Manson and the CIA’s MKUltra project ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/qvh8h7hdelw30dil/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvTUtVbHRyYQ== ), which focused on mind control, but I didn’t realize just how deep that rabbit hole goes. ​ From the description: “In August 1969, Charles Manson’s followers killed seven people on his orders. Why? Explore a conspiracy of mind control, CIA experiments, and murder.” It is directed by Errol Morris ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/g3hnh5hmg092k6ir/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvRXJyb2xfTW9ycmlz ) of The Fog of War ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/9qhzhnhd4ew8l9t9/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjAwNlRMWksyQy9yZWY9bXN4X3duX2F2 ) fame and father of pharmacologist extraordinaire Hamilton Morris ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/3ohphkh3xkm8nvsr/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDE4LzA5LzIwL2hhbWlsdG9uLW1vcnJpcy8_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0 ).

I was a bit surprised by this, but I think it’s because I have read a lot on MKUltra, given the crucial element of psychedelics, and most people have no context. If you’re seeing it for the first time, it will sound like the ravings of an insane conspiracy theorist. Unfortunately for some of the innocents who were involved, it was very much real. Truth can indeed be stranger than fiction.   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “Happiness lies in thinking or doing that which one considers beautiful.” ​— Hazrat Inayat Khan ​ ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/48hvhehmw7l3nvsx/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvSW5heWF0X0toYW4= )(Click here to share on X ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/wvuk2dx7nqbghknv28phqanzz8zxxi8h7o2/wnh2hghqml7d37f7/aHR0cHM6Ly9jdHQuZWMvanliZHM= ).)   ------------------- Quote I’m pondering ------------------- “This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled.

I threw in an extra bullet for added spice.   --------------------- What I’m listening to --------------------- “Granada ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/x0hph6hek2k2w4i5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1QRUpBaE05UHREdw== )” (YouTube ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/x0hph6hek2k2w4i5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj1QRUpBaE05UHREdw== ), Spotify ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/6qheh8hlxrxr74to/aHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVuLnNwb3RpZnkuY29tL3RyYWNrLzZVOElXSkRkaUhQNFBlaHFIZVdGSXQ= ), Apple Music ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/kkhmh6hnzwzwl7il/aHR0cHM6Ly9tdXNpYy5hcHBsZS5jb20vdXMvc29uZy9ncmFuYWRhLzUzNDI4ODk1Mw== )) by Lebanese composer, oud ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/58hvh7hg3x3xgpc6/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvT3Vk ) master, and singer Marcel Khalife ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/25h2hoh3l9l93vu3/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaW5zdGFncmFtLmNvbS9raGFsaWZlbWFyY2VsLw== ). This is two songs in one. The first half is totally unlike the second half. It’s a long ’un and worth the time.   -------------------------------- My #1 writing priority this week -------------------------------- “How I Beat Lyme Disease with The Ketogenic Diet ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/qvh8h7hdewewd4bl/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAxLzMwL2x5bWUtZGlzZWFzZS1rZXRvZ2VuaWMtZGlldC8_dXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPTViZiZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPWNvbnZlcnRraXQmdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0 ).” I started writing this as a reply on X to Greg Yang ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/g3hnh5hmg9g9mnhr/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9UaGVHcmVnWWFuZy9zdGF0dXMvMjAxMzY1MjYwOTQ1NTAwNjAwNg== ), co-founder of xAI ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/9qhzhnhd4w4wd3u9/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmFpLw== ), who recently stepped down from xAI to address his debilitating case of Lyme disease ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/g3hnh5hmg9g9mnhr/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9UaGVHcmVnWWFuZy9zdGF0dXMvMjAxMzY1MjYwOTQ1NTAwNjAwNg== ).

The post covers the science, exact how-to protocols, and much more.   ------------------------- What I’m excited to share ------------------------- ​My appearance on The Shawn Ryan Show ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/3ohphkh3xmxm3ncr/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj0zVlQtRkt2Zm5xbw== ). Shawn is a former U.S. Navy SEAL and CIA contractor who served for 14 years across multiple combat missions. He led us to some edgy and strange topics that I don’t usually discuss publicly. I had a lot of fun. ​ His show is one of the fastest-growing and most popular podcasts in the world, and I was very impressed with the entire operation he’s built. Kudos to Shawn and his entire team.   ------------------------------- Science I’m paying attention to ------------------------------- “Alzheimer’s blood tests may be misleading for people with kidney problems ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/n2hohvhv2q2qvoc6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2NpZW5jZWRhaWx5LmNvbS9yZWxlYXNlcy8yMDI1LzEyLzI1MTIwNTA0NTg0NS5odG0= ).” Summary: “A large study found that people with impaired kidneys tend to have higher Alzheimer’s biomarkers, yet they don’t face a higher overall risk of dementia. For those who already have elevated biomarkers, kidney problems may speed up when symptoms appear. The findings show that kidney health can change how Alzheimer’s blood tests are read. Doctors may need to consider both organs to get a clearer picture.” Pair this article with my brand-new conversation with Dr. Tommy Wood ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/48hvhehmwlwlm0tx/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_dj10VExMZlVvT0ZMVQ== ) on preventing dementia.   ----------------------------- Podcast guest I’m remembering ----------------------------- “In Memoriam: Art De Vany ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/wnh2hghqm7m7qwi7/aHR0cHM6Ly9yb2Jid29sZi5zdWJzdGFjay5jb20vcC9pbi1tZW1vcmlhbS1hcnQtZGUtdmFueT9yPTdjb2omc2hhcmVJbWFnZVZhcmlhbnQ9b3ZlcmxheSZ0cmllZFJlZGlyZWN0PXRydWUmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1pb3M= ).” RIP, Art.

We may go through life without suspecting their existence; but apply the requisite stimulus and at a touch they are there in all their completeness. … No account of the universe in its totality can be final which leaves these other forms of consciousness quite disregarded.” ​— William James ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/08hwh9h2nene2gbl/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvV2lsbGlhbV9KYW1lcw== )​ You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my recent conversation ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/xmulp9vomgs6hpkmqw4bqa2q34zllfnhzk2/8ghqhohowdwdo9ck/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAxLzA2L2tldG9zaXMtcHJhY3RpY2FsLWd1aWRlLWRvbS1kYWdvc3Rpbm8vP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA== ) with Dr. Dominic D’Agostino on how to use ketosis for enhanced mood, cognition, and long-term brain protection, plus my latest keto experiment. ​ And, as always, please give me feedback on X.

This is an outstanding read. Even if you have little interest in how the best scientists work, this will help you become a better and more productive thinker. ​ Take it from W. Edwards Deming ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/m2h7h5h323xkgdam/aHR0cHM6Ly9lbi53aWtpcGVkaWEub3JnL3dpa2kvVy5fRWR3YXJkc19EZW1pbmc= ), who is best known as the “father of the quality movement” for revolutionizing post-WWII Japan and making it one of the most dominant economies in the world: “If you do not know how to ask the right question, you discover nothing.”   ------------------- What I’m rewatching ------------------- ​Burden of Dreams ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/dpheh0hedexz4pcm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjAwQTVJWEVGMC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ) (Amazon ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/dpheh0hedexz4pcm/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9ncC92aWRlby9kZXRhaWwvQjAwQTVJWEVGMC8_dGFnPW9mZnNpdG9mdGltZmUtMjA= ), Apple TV ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/e0hph7h7m7z9pdf8/aHR0cHM6Ly9pdHVuZXMuYXBwbGUuY29tL3VzL21vdmllL2lkNDc0NjE4ODIz )). This documentary was recommended to me by one of the most phenomenal artists I know, Dustin Yellin ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/7qh7h8h9d9evkeaz/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDIwLzA5LzI0L2R1c3Rpbi15ZWxsaW4vP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA== ). Burden of Dreams is a strange and captivating film. It’s a showcase of tackling the impossible, being unrealistic, and failing above others’ successes. On so many levels, the compulsion, single-mindedness, and all-or-nothing drive of legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/owhkhqhwxwe3kzhv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2VybmVyaGVyem9nLmNvbS8= ) makes no sense. And yet… to me, parts of his journey, and parts of his worldview, make all the sense in the world. This is a bizarre one that will only appeal to a small fraction of you, but here’s the official film description, edited for length: “For nearly five years, Werner Herzog worked on one of the most ambitious and difficult films of his career, Fitzcarraldo ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lzrl0i0igz5m744hgh7w8/z2hghnhe5ez9k9hp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cucm90dGVudG9tYXRvZXMuY29tL20vZml0emNhcnJhbGRv ), the story of one man’s attempt to build an opera house deep in the Amazon jungle.

From the article: “Every day, in a thousand ways, we take advantage of the utility of plastic. It’s in our clothes, our cars, our cosmetics, and so much more. But eventually, these products turn into something else: tiny synthetic particles that spread quite literally everywhere—into our air, our food, our water, even inside of us.

I always find this movie inspiring, and January is a great time to watch it. From the description: “A moment comes when you stop dreaming, start living, and discover your destiny. For daydreamer Walter Mitty, that time is now.

Get his personal recording, if you can, but some of his courses taught by others using his method (e.g., Korean ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5xox5ofmapedgnkkh9h6rd/vqh3hrhom48rgvbg/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYXVkaWJsZS5jb20vc2VyaWVzL0ZvdW5kYXRpb24tS29yZWFuLU1pY2hlbC1UaG9tYXMtTWV0aG9kLUF1ZGlvYm9va3MvQjBCTjRKWjVEQj9jcmVhdGl2ZUlkPTI5MmQ2MzQzLWYxMWItNGJiZS1hOGE1LWQ0YjcyNzJhYmY2MSZpcFJlZGlyZWN0T3ZlcnJpZGU9dHJ1ZSZvdmVycmlkZUJhc2VDb3VudHJ5PXRydWUmcGFnZUxvYWRJZD01b0VqWk5nYXB3NHB6Z1BNJnBmX3JkX3A9ODQzMTI4MGEtYTdiYS00ODM5LTlmMDgtY2I3NWMyOWQ3ZjZhJnBmX3JkX3I9Wjg5MVFRUUI5NjBHVDRKS1dERlAmcGxpbms9WVRjaHdZbE5TcE1HaXNYUiZyZWZfcGFnZWxvYWRpZD1ub3RfYXBwbGljYWJsZQ== )) are also excellent. ​ From Wikipedia:​ ​ ​Michel Thomas (born Moniek Kroskof, February 3, 1914–January 8, 2005) was a polyglot linguist and decorated war veteran. He survived imprisonment in several Nazi concentration camps after serving in the Maquis of the French Resistance and worked with the U.S. Army Counter Intelligence Corps during World War II. After the war, Thomas immigrated to the United States, where he developed a language-teaching system known as the “Michel Thomas method.” In 2004, he was awarded the Silver Star by the United States Army.   ---------------------------------- Related content I've been bingeing ---------------------------------- YouTube: “The Language Master, a film about Michel Thomas ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5xox5ofmapedgnkkh9h6rd/l2hehmhlq4w7r4s6/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vd2F0Y2g_ZmVhdHVyZT15b3V0dS5iZSZ2PW1yX05VV2hZQVNn ).” This is a great place to start to get a taste of what his method looks like in a live classroom. It also demonstrates how stubborn and difficult he could be! For propagating his own method, he was sometimes his own worst enemy. ​ ​Book: The Test Of Courage: Michel Thomas ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/68uoeqw287i8h5xox5ofmapedgnkkh9h6rd/m2h7h5h329wze0am/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuYW1hem9uLmNvbS9UZXN0LUNvdXJhZ2UtQmlvZ3JhcGh5LU5hemktSHVudGVyLUNocmlzdG9waGVyLWVib29rL2RwL0IwMDcxTUIwMjIvP3RhZz1vZmZzaXRvZnRpbWZlLTIw ), a biography of the Holocaust survivor and Nazi hunter by Christopher Robbins. I found this book to be gratifying, and Robbins did a beautiful job with research and fact-checking around details of WWII and the Holocaust I had never seen before. How do we not learn this stuff in school? The citations and footnotes reflect a tremendous amount of work by the author, and he makes a lot of Michel’s life a compelling page-turner that reads like a thriller. ​ Alas, it also seems clear that Michel himself was prone to exaggeration and possibly occasional fabrication. Some of his theatrical twists and anecdotes simply don’t add up, which is a shame, as his 100% verifiable experiences alone are ridiculously sufficient for an incredible story! Sadly, some people can’t help themselves. It didn’t prevent me from highlighting a lot of the research notes on Kindle, and his language method’s results literally speak for themselves.

5-Bullet Friday — The Wild West of Prediction Markets, Learning Languages in a Week, January Inspiration, and More

tim@fourhourbody.com1/17/2026

I threw in an extra bullet to spice things up, as I have a bee in my bonnet.   This edition is brought to you by Momentous ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/owhkhqhw5qz70nbv/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubGl2ZW1vbWVudG91cy5jb20vZGlzY291bnQvdGltP3JlZGlyZWN0PSUyRnBhZ2VzJTJGdGltLWZlcnJpc3MmdXRtX2NhbXBhaWduPXRpbTViZiZ1dG1fY29udGVudD1uZXcteWVhciZ1dG1fbWVkaXVtPXNwb25jb24mdXRtX3NvdXJjZT1uZXdzbGV0dGVy ), my go-to source for creatine, which I use mostly for cognitive support. Be sure to see their offer in the P.S.   ------------------- Profile I’m reading ------------------- “The Technology Brothers Have Silicon Valley in Their Thrall. Now They’re Coming for You ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/z2hghnhe0lg8mrtp/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cudmFuaXR5ZmFpci5jb20vbmV3cy9zdG9yeS90aGUtdGVjaG5vbG9neS1icm90aGVycy1oYXZlLXNpbGljb24tdmFsbGV5LWluLXRoZWlyLXRocmFsbD9zcnNsdGlkPUFmbUJPb3FNdzdwZDV4eWlXU2d1cmMxRVFFLWRTWUNEeTZISTFLa2JxeEZlTXh5UlRSWDJPNXM5 )” by Julia Black ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/p8heh9h48qvlpltq/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9tam5ibGFjaz9sYW5nPWVu ) (Vanity Fair). Do you think it’s too crowded to do X, whatever you might be considering? Well, think again, as there is always room if you aim to be the only and not simply the best. Owning a category of one, and being first mover, gives you a tremendous margin of safety. This is a fun read full of lessons. I suggest pairing it with this WSJ profile of the Acquired gents ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/x0hph6hexqgl47s5/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud3NqLmNvbS9idXNpbmVzcy9tZWRpYS9hY3F1aXJlZC1wb2RjYXN0LXRlY2gtYnVzaW5lc3MtaGlzdG9yeS1zdHJhdGVneS05MGU3MzYwMz9nYWFfYXQ9ZWFmcyZnYWFfbj1BV0V0c3FmeU15VnV4MGowUnBOc2VwQ0hTTk1rVllyYVRQb1J2WXBIWS1vU2lBck93TEY3ZUR4RUZNMjV3MHdUWmhnJTNEJmdhYV9zaWc9MlByR2toUWo2eXQtX0NwRUpiVktGemJxVkFQQk5YMElSTl9BNk9ISFJUZjl3b3BxRjZWVkNyWUdERWJVclFTc2x2WUdiZ2ZpTHROXy1OdEo0anNNOWclM0QlM0QmZ2FhX3RzPTY5NjE4NDkz ) and how they carved out a spectacular niche (a big one!) in the saturated podcast ecosystem.   ------------------------- Research that I’m reading ------------------------- “Lactate and BDNF: Key Mediators of Exercise Induced Neuroplasticity?

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about exogenous ketones. KETOSPIKE, formulated by Dominic D’Agostino, Ph.D., and Csilla Ari D’Agostino, Ph.D., has become my default, which I use a handful of times per week while on a ketogenic or extremely low-carb diet. This is particularly valuable prior to podcast recordings, as was the case a few hours ago. I’ll mix this into coffee with a few tablespoons of cream, and I get a mild but noticeable cognitive boost for 2–3 hours.   ------------------ What I’m exploring ------------------ ​What are successful YouTube channels that were strongly inspired by The 4-Hour Workweek? ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/z2hghnhe0lg8mwip/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcy9zdGF0dXMvMjAwOTQyMTM5ODA0NjA2OTE4OQ== ) I’m thinking of interviewing some of these creators on the podcast, plus perhaps more… Please let me know by replying to my post here ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/z2hghnhe0lg8mwip/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS90ZmVycmlzcy9zdGF0dXMvMjAwOTQyMTM5ODA0NjA2OTE4OQ== ).   ----------------------- Tech stuff I’m tracking ----------------------- “This is a weird comparison, but Zcash reminds me a lot of BitTorrent… ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/p8heh9h48qvlp8iq/aHR0cHM6Ly94LmNvbS9ob3NzZWViL3N0YXR1cy8yMDA5MzM1MjM5MzUzNDc1MTU3 )” by Haseeb Qureshi ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/x0hph6hexqgl4kt5/aHR0cHM6Ly9oYXNlZWJxLmNvbS9hYm91dC8= ). I think the nature of privacy, and how much we value it, will change fundamentally in the next 2–3 years, as the realities of being fully exposed become more obvious. For several years, I’ve been tracking privacy-reclaiming technologies, and this is one that I’m paying attention to. ​ How would you like your online purchases, precise physical location, voting and dating preferences, health or health-adjacent information (e.g., wearables), and more to be correlated and made public? What if insurers and potential employers could purchase this information, even if done indirectly to skirt regulation? What if script kiddies worldwide could scrape most of it from publicly available data and piece it together with AI in an afternoon? What if they could also ingest all of your social media posts at the same time? This is a lot closer than people realize. In fact, most of it’s already here. ​ There are an estimated 4,000+ data brokers in the US alone. They already offer precise geolocation, political preferences, demographic details, real-time tracking, and even military status or employment ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/6qheh8hl09qd3zco/aHR0cHM6Ly90ZWNocG9saWN5LnNhbmZvcmQuZHVrZS5lZHUvd3AtY29udGVudC91cGxvYWRzLzIwMjEvMDgvRGF0YS1Ccm9rZXJzLWFuZC1TZW5zaXRpdmUtRGF0YS1vbi1VUy1JbmRpdmlkdWFscy1TaGVybWFuLTIwMjEucGRmP3V0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y2hhdGdwdC5jb20= ). Major data brokers may have ~1,500 data points on single individuals, sometimes including cell phone data, credit card transactions, SSN, date of birth, and even driving data ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/kkhmh6hn4x73owbl/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcG5ld3MuY29tL2FydGljbGUvZnRjLWdtLWRyaXZpbmctZGF0YS1pbnN1cmVycy1hNTU1YWJiNTZhMGQ1ZjMxYWZhOWI3M2MzZWI0ODI4Nw== ). There’s currently no comprehensive federal right for individuals to see, correct, or opt out of data being compiled about them. Think I’m exaggerating? I fact-checked this bullet with a few LLMs: ​ Claude Opus 4.5: “The claims check out. The piece is well-sourced on the data broker landscape.” ​ Gemini 3: “This text is a blend of accurate industry data, specific historical quotes, and a slightly outdated statistic that actually understates the current scale of the data broker industry.” ​ And this was all before AI. I’ll save quantum computing considerations for another time. --------------------- Excerpt I’m pondering --------------------- “The real danger is the gradual erosion of individual liberties through the automation, integration, and interconnection of many small, separate record-keeping systems, each of which alone may seem innocuous, even benevolent, and wholly justifiable.” ​— Report on The Privacy Act of 1974 ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/58hvh7hgl6ez42t6/aHR0cHM6Ly9hcmNoaXZlLmVwaWMub3JnL3ByaXZhY3kvcHBzYzE5NzdyZXBvcnQvYzEzLmh0bQ== )​ You can complement this edition of 5-Bullet Friday with my latest podcast episode ( https://click.fourhourmail.com/27ul2486kgsoh8lexl0h0igz5m744hgh7w8/25h2hoh3nm5eqzb3/aHR0cHM6Ly90aW0uYmxvZy8yMDI2LzAxLzA2L2tldG9zaXMtcHJhY3RpY2FsLWd1aWRlLWRvbS1kYWdvc3Rpbm8vP3V0bV9jYW1wYWlnbj01YmYmdXRtX21lZGl1bT1jb252ZXJ0a2l0JnV0bV9zb3VyY2U9Y29udmVydGtpdA== ), featuring Dominic D’Agostino, Ph.D. We cover ketosis for enhanced mood, cognition, and long-term brain protection; my latest keto experiment; and much more. ​ And, as always, please give me feedback on X.
